- We just finished the last episode of season 2 of Leverage and it appears the TV gods heard my prayers and might have possibly written Sohie and the horrible actress that plays her out of the show.  I'll take 7 of 9 over her any day, plus I think it could lead to some nice tension within the group.

- I had my first store game of 4e Thursday night, ( Read more... )

Geek side, meet jock side.  My two worlds are colliding and not in a cool way.  Every year we trek up to Boston for a home-run gaming con.  It's small but filled with the best people in the world, especially the hosts.  It's where I first got back into playing live RPGs, and it's the first place I dared to actually try running a game.  It is, ( Read more... )

 I'm not sure if you noticed this or not, but it snowed this weekend!  Really!  Shoveling my house out wasn't too bad - the kids got cold after about half an hour of flopping around, thus turning me loose - but the yard was the expected headache.  After the fire we built a temporary (note: now 6 years old) dismantling area in the ruins with an ( Read more... )

Bad weather + 2 cranked up toddlers = a challenging weekend. Ah, I'm exaggerating. They were good for the most part and it was nice to be able to spend a lot of time with them and Laura as well. Saturday we went to the Country Pancake House in Ridgewood, which you might have seen on a Food Network show if you watch that sort of thing. They give ( Read more... )

Inspectres bits:

• Even playing a distracted woman talking to ghosts, Kevin still managed to hit me with an 'Oh, and your Mom says hi.'
• Both groups used neuralizers (a la Men in Black) with great success. The second group didn't know the first group used it but had the idea as well. In three previous runs nobody used one.
• Justin played the most amoral ( Read more... )

Yeah, been a little neglectful here but my driver was on vacation last week so I was a wee bit busy at work. Today Laura's up at Anonycon gaming her little heart out. Yesterday was my turn and I had a great time. Above and beyond seeing very cool people I haven't seen for too long, I also ran Inspectres for the first time at a place that wasn't ( Read more... )

I mean, seriously. We didn't just win the Northeastern regions for rugby, we destroyed the teams in the semis and finals. Embarrassed them. Made it look like they didn't even belong on the field with us. Hell, I played almost the entire 2nd half of the game yesterday against previously unbeaten Buffalo and we just kept pouring it on, whipping ( Read more... )

perhaps a semi-retirement with family events/things to do trumping any rugby obligations might be the way to go. Conversations with my wonderful wife on our way up to Boston for the OW-post party determined this a feasible option. We won again Saturday (and were NOT late to the party) and so we have games Saturday and Sunday to determine the ( Read more... )

The Powers That Be have decided that they do indeed want me to play rugby this Saturday, bringing about a bizarre confluence of events that moved my game to 11am, thus making both that and making it up to Boston in plenty of time possible.  If we win this week we play at least Saturday and possibly Sunday of next weekend for the Northeastern ( Read more... )
