Greetings and well met! Welcome to the blogging segment of our show.
I capped off a summer of 3 and 4 day weeks with a whole week off last week. It was pretty nice. A week passes by pretty fast in the grand scheme of things. It’d be dangerous for me to take more than a week off. The less I did, the less I wanted to do. Any more of that and I wouldn’t ever want to go back to work.
I did do SOMETHING special during my week off. The third time was the charm. I finally had a session for the Star Wars RPG where players showed up. And we played and everything! We have a pilot, an engineer, a bounty hunter, a derelict pirate, a medic and…a corporate lobbyist. Crazy huh? Well, My player let me decide what corporation he worked for and I decided it was a soft drink company: Sucosa Corp. He came up with the tagline, Feel the Fizz! I didn’t have much planned by way of story details, just a vague outline of events that could happen. They didn’t quite fit so I did what a good GM does and improvised. We’ll know more if we’ve got a real campaign on our hands after the second session next week. I’ve got a good feeling about this.
Saturday was Cyran’s birthday. I didn’t plan the mash-ups very well or I’d have featured him on Friday. I haven’t drawn his piece yet, so it may or may not go up this week. We’ll see what goes up on Friday huh?
I bought a new game on Steam last week: Slay the Spire, it’s a mix of deck-building card games and the old Rogue-style dungeon crawls. I’m digging it a good deal. It’s not something I’ll be playing long-term but it was definitely worth the money I spent on it.
That’s all for this week actually. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.
