Turns out the resort I'm at has a wifi connection and two of my in-laws brought their laptops, allowing for some small amount of blogification this week. In my spare time here (which is limited given my daughter's desire to go swimming 3 times a day) I've been able to do some work on the first adventure of the forthcoming Rebel Scum campaign. Later this week I hope to post some more thoughts on this campaign. The players are hashing out there PCs in gmail, which is awesome. I'm not around to coordinate things so these guys are just working stuff out themselves.
I'm doing some gaming here, as my brother-in-law brought some cool games. Note to my sister and any other cool boardgamers: try Pitchcar for silly racetrack/tiddly winks fun. My wife's family is a very competitve lot, so we're playing several game tournaments. The Scrabble tournament started today. I'm doing okay so far, but the professional writers and PhDs in the family are a hard lot to play against. Also on the tournament schedule is croquet, Pong, and readings from Eye of Argon. That last one was my idea.
Has anybody seen Rodman Down Under? I found it in the dollar DVD bin at the local Walmart. It seems to be an indy wrestling card from Australia featuring Dennis Rodman versus Curt Henning. I hadn't realized that Rodman did any wrestling after his rather sad run in WCW.
Catcha all later.

After a veeeeerrrryyyy long, and mostly unplanned, hiatus, Stuart and I got
together to play more Stargrave in recent days. It was good! It was also a
bit ...

ReplyDeleteDid I at least help? :)
(By inadvertendly reminding you that you'd not yet savored the glory of live dramatic readings, I mean)
ReplyDeleteYes! It was a last minute addition to the event schedule.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that you all may wet your pants in mirth, thus giving Grignr his proper due :)
ReplyDeleteWhy does everyone manage to forget Settlers of Catan when the subject of board games comes up?
ReplyDeleteThe whole family plays Scabble. Only about 5 of us play Catan. Word games are very popular with this group, between all the writers and teachers in the bunch.
ReplyDeletePitchcar was actually a favorite in our group until Joe, the game's owner, decided to take it with him when he moved to Arizona. Jerk!
