Last night my weekly rpg session was canceled because of a wedding half the players were invited to. A steampunk wedding. I knew neither the bride nor the groom and I have nothing steampunk-y, but I have to admit that I was slightly miffed. You see, I haven't been to a wedding since 2005, when my oldest brother got married and two friends of mine ( Read more... )

Today we had breakfast at a really nice restaurant with a bunch of Funcommers (we do this every Saturday, and every Saturday is equally awesome). During the conversation, we began talking about how certain hobbies can turn you so excited you regress to about five years of age, talking about nothing other than your obsession, and so full of ideas ( Read more... )

I like that the Warhammer rpg characters we've made have grown really jaded. Yesterday, when we'd solved the crime and gotten all the bad guys locked up we, instead of trying to leave or finishing our business (because we had to wait till morning if we wanted our payment), decided to get a good night's sleep, just because we knew that probably, ( Read more... )

Yesterday we played Feng Shui, an action movie rpg, and it was awesome. After aj_stalin went home to get enough sleep for work today, me, Martin and Jens stayed up talking. Then Martin left and I still didn't get any sleep, at all. But it was a nice night with lots of good whisky and good conversation ended with good coffee before work, and I'm still awake ( Read more... )

So, I’m finally back at work and it’s awsome. Right now I’m enjoying my breakfast (okay, so this morning wasn’t that awesome and included bringing instant soup with me instead of eating breakfast, but still) of spinach miso soup in my well-earned break after the morning rush. I love Japanese instant soups. Not so much because of the taste as ( Read more... )

This weekend I played more rpgs than I've played in a year. First, I played D&D 3 ed on Friday, which was great (I got to be a half-dragon, go me).

On Saturday, me and aj_stalin went to Holmestrand (the town I grew up in) to participate in Holmcon, an rpg con focusing on small, new rpgs that nobody normally gets to play or even know exists. Right up my ( Read more... )

On Friday I said that I kinda hoped I’d get sick just so I could use my fantastically cool Barney is sick icon *points at icon*, but now I regret ever saying it. I refuse to be sick! I refuse to stay home! Instead, I’m totally dizzy and slow at work with a light headache and my bloody lungs in my hands! I’m in fact coughed them all up and are about ( Read more... )

So, yesterday I tried gming my first session of Chuthulu. Turns out, according to mirazandar aj_stalin and akselwestlund though they could just be saying it to be nice to me it went well and we're playing again on Saturday. Goodie! Only problem was that we didn't have any dice or character sheets, so we did a diceless game session. It was okay, but I realized that I like some use ( Read more... )
