Gaming stuff
Okay, a few non-doomed items to report / comment on.
Another Dave ran the Swords and Sorcery game (yes, based on the movie with the three bladed sword) that he's been promising, and it was AWESOME! My son is playing a ranger / scout, Paul is the gadgeteer test subject / disinherited prince and I am the princess who learned magic after narrowly escaping the murder of her noble family. Very cool characters, great banter, and my Magic Missiles ROCK! This is GURPS, so I designed my spells using Innate Attack, and they turned out way cooler than I anticipated without anyone giving me the 'that's a broken power' look in play. The battle against the three witches was gruesome, with my character suffering several magical injuries and having to push to her limits to pull off the victory. Other princess rescued, tragedy averted, and more adventures to come!
I am working on a new game world for a game I plan to run at Ambercon Central. The working title is Merlinspawn, and it's set in a semi-steampunk era where golems, clockwork beings, and half-demons walk the earth. More details as I work them out. :)
My online games are going well. Several are on hiatus due to work and / or life stuff, but two are quite active. Stuff I began shaping with Sara M has turned into a whole 'nother setting; the Seelie / Unseelie war. Jill P is playing from the insider angle, and Kai-4313 is the outsider. Great stories, great players, both!
Saw 'Priest' this afternoon with Janet. It was... okay.... It'd make a good GURPS game, if nothing else. :)
I have an interview for a job Monday. It looks like a practice run, but I'm keeping an open mind.
