(no subject)
It pains me a little to write this right now, as staring at the screen turns my head away from the very pretty girl who is still asleep in my bed.
I am probably moving faster in this relationship than I ever had before. Part of that is simply due to age (I was too young to move 'fast' for most of my girlfriends) but even more so because, well, the Sword of Fate hangs over us. Who knows? Maybe that is what gives it the warm fuzzy feeling?
But I will say this much: Last night was Helen's last exam. I made her dinner to celebrate, but I had already scheduled D&D and couldn't really hang out with her for the night. She went out with some friends, and I tried desperately to run a campaign.
...it was probably one of my worst sessions, ever. And it was blatantly me! As DM, I was distracted and just couldn't get a good pace of story going. I wrote myself into a HUGE corner wheras I was controlling 5 NPCs + a band of 8 monsters, and I just gave up. The entire leg of travelling which was supposed to build until the City of Ironcross (currently under seige) just got summarised and fast-forwarded.
That being said, I've now promised them a few good sessions of not really fighting IN the city, but fighting to survive their 3-mile journey THROUGH it. So, that's it for now.
P.S. This is one of my favouritest songs ever, and is what really just makes me want to remember this moment for a long time.
