Put a Fork In It, This Weekend's Done
Well, tomorrow's SJ is done and on the servers; it'll go up with the regular update. It's BJ Buttons' cameo, which simultaneously provides me with a strip and allows me to mark something on the to-do list as COMPLETE -- yay!
Laurie ran the second adventure in the "Star Wars - Invasion of Theed" introductory game this evening. It was fairly fun, although again is was very roleplaying-light and combat heavy.
I'm thinking of, to introduce her to the d20 system, running a little mini-D&D game where she creates and controls three characters, plus I include a DNPC fourth, and send her through small "quickie" adventures to get her familiar with the concepts of the system. D&D and Star Wars aren't exactly the same, but they're close enough that it might be a valuable exercise. If nothing else, it would be something fun to do.
My back's been arguing with me all weekend; fortunately, I have chiro. appt. tomorrow. Hopefully he can do something about that. I need to be at least useful during the move, even if I can't do the heavy lifting like I did last time.
That's all for now. G'nite everybody.

Counter Collection (http://secure.white-wolf.com/catalog/results.tpl?action=full&cart=311501760595135&--eqskudatarq=16040), and
Cardboard Heroes (http://www.sjgames.com/heroes/)
...as an affordable alternative to lead mini's?

Re:
One of my players is a miniture painter and the two characters are nonstandard so we'll probably have to do lead minitures for them, which he will cobble together from other parts.
I also found an interesting means of keeping track of game actions. It was mentioned in Knights of the Dinner Table:colored tiles placed under the representations of the characters which indicate spell and combat affects. It should work pretty well.
Now if only I could break them of the habit of stealing whatever isn't nailed down.... :)
Good gaming to you!
