Coming to you irregularly from the snowpocolypse

Merry Kwahanimas to all (I refuse to acknowledge festivus)!

We're snowed up to the gills here, and hoping that Santa brings us temperatures in the 40s and enough rain to wash the foul white stuff away.

Sadimac and I have trudged over to her mom's for christmas eve, where we will exchange good tidings & presents, eat homemade chicken pot pies, and play munchkin. It will be grand, but due to the snowy hell that nature/a vengeful god has thrust upon us, probably the only such activity we'll have in a timely matter this holiday season.

I wish the same good feelings & fun to you all (although not the weather), and a new year that was better than the last

Gamestorm, Snow, and D&D 4E

So D&D 4E was.... good.

I'm loathe to admit it, but they designed a good system, and it plays really, really well. I can't speak to the character creation process, but actual play is quick, smooth, and makes sense. Capn zip & I wanted to hate it, we did, but we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Zip is going to play another session today to get more of a feel (I am otherwise occupied sadly).

They also changed one of the most annoying things they were planning on doing (something to do with the online functionality of the game I really don't feel like getting in to), which softens some of Sadimac's outrage at WotC.

It was snowing this morning when I got up. I looked outside, saw the snow, and my brain said:

"That is an optical illusion caused by just waking up. Ignore it and make coffee"

But no, it was snow. In late March.

We got to the con just fine though, and now here I sit at the PDX Browncoats fan table, having already confirmed that we are indeed NOT the check in for Gamestorm.

More soon!
