Odd Dream on Friday

[judd_sonofbert]

Had a dream that it occurs to me is a recurring dream. In the dream I am out in the hills somewhere, forest all around. It is a little bit more barren than Ithaca hills tend to be but could be Ithaca during a drier spell

Odds look very good for a MG game next (not this upcoming) weekend with Bea, Elliot, Liam, and Seb.

Reading: Re-reading Lord of the Rings, glancing at the MG PDF, haven't had time to really sit down with it yet. Also- the new Hellboy story arc looks like it's going to bring stuff to a head.

Planning: Flying to Seattle for a funeral. Gar.

Wearing: Sweats + Polo

Writing: Bits here and there. Game programmer roomie got me thinking about trying to re-approach writing The Emperor's Heart, but life needs to slow down for that.

Condolences and Hellboy

[judd_sonofbert]

My condolences, man.

It is a shit time of year for that kind of thing.

Ooooh, new Hellboy arc?

This would be the second family member to kick it for the holidays.

Aside- Mignola looks like he's getting towards bringing things to a head- he's been tying together a lot of threads in BPRD, and some serious character growth has been going on.

For Hellboy, this first issue looks like it's going to do the same for him and maybe point him back towards dealing with the physical world instead of the weird spirit world stuff they've had him in for the last few years.

I hear when making decisions like this, it helps to talk to your players.

But the guys who said that could be wrong.

Re: The Kryos Maxim

[matt_m_mcelroy]

They couldn't decide either, so they bumped it back on me.

Been wondering about Alchemy of Stone, thanks.

Reading: I just finished Steven Brust's Jhegaala, which I like better than his last one in the series. On the other hand, the explanation of what's going on doesn't stand up to much scrutiny, as I'm discovering by reading a delightful analysis. I'm slowly going through Prometheus, and I've decided that if I ever run a game of that, regardless of what they players know, the characters start out by knowing none of it. I read a couple of stories in Paper Cities, which was edited by the woman who wrote Alchemy of Stone, but is probably too slipstream for my taste. What to read next? Probably The New Policeman.

Planning: Job hunting. Victorian dance tomorrow, with mnemex. House filk at batyatoon and sdelmonte's place on Sunday.

Wearing: Short polo t-shirt from Intercon H (Heaven and Hell -- I'm wearing the Heaven version), black pants, socks.

Writing: Hm. Should be more of Presque Vue -- Finished first drafts for 2 out of 20 PCs -- and perhaps my zine for Alarums and Excursions.
