Put a Fork In It, This Weekend's Done

[the_gneech]

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.

You know if I lived close by I would come and help... Alas, but this country is too friggin' big! Germany is much more appropriately sized, being about the same area as the state of Montana, and I can cross that in less than a day.

We're discovering that the d20 system absolutely kicks ass!

This weekend, my players discovered and demonstrated to me the combat skill of flanking. It enabled two level one players to tackle monsters that were averaging challenge level 2 (long story --- I'm converting an old module and adding touches of my own). Deciding combat is fairer now and much easier to manage. Of course, now that I know how flanking works, I plan to start appropriately skewering players :)

I can now see the need for minitures; we've been using rubber erasers and it's just not sufficient.
