Since my computer died, I've been reading but not really commenting on things. I've got a few other projects that have been taking up my time and energy.

( Cut because no one should have to read about my projects. The other stuff I don't cut because I am a sadist... )

My children introduced me to the game of Zombies today. Apparently one plays normal hide and seek, but when you find someone, you turn them into a zombie and they help find other people by sniffing out their [spicy] brains.

To play Pirates, however, you apparently need a ship.

I love the idea that my kids are game designers already. [grin, wink

The short-term Amber Throne War I'm running on Thursday nights will last one more Thursday. I'd like to note that the Sith died because he LEFT HIS BACK OPEN TO A KNOWN ENEMY (this time, a Unicorn) and the wizard died because she LET HER DEFENSES DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR ZONE (to talk to a Unicorn ( Read more... )

The True City Times, first page. An example of a contribution I'd take for an Amber game. Plus, it made me happy, and I will do things that make me happy. Nyah.

Um.

Yeah. Bedtime.

So. Evil cellmate is a little less evil, or maybe I'm finally impressing her on the work I've done and the work that's got to be done, but a 50 hour workweek where you're Actually Using Your Brain All Fifty Hours (I've done 'em when you're coasting the extra ten and that's not bad) is killer. Killer on your patience, your passion, your promise... ( Read more... )

...because a few people asked me to remind them: I posted the "Actual Play" of our very brief PTA game at the It Slices! It Dices! blog.

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a discussion about types of players and how they worked together in a group. I forget where it was, although I suspect it at least started from Knife Fight because I've spent some time there while resting from other projects (including a fanfic that I'll be developing based on a Marius dream ( Read more... )

1) Yes, I reassert: the original Dungeon Masters Guide is my number one "comfort read," especially the version I have from my father with his highlighting.

2) "Mexican Radio" has been playing on my computer for almost eight hours straight. The Pixie Fierceness was disappointed that I turned it off to log in and check my mail ( Read more... )
