Endgame last weekend was awesome. The plan for the weekend was that two big villains I play would be permanently* dealt with, and in that regard everything went according to plan. And the weekend was an awesome wonderful experience for me ( Read more... )

I'm late, but it was a late day for me. It appears that watching "Hogfather" is a new seasonal tradition for me. [ a TV adaptation of the Discworld novel by the same name ] I think three years in a row qualifies, and it's been at least that.

One horrible mechanics snafu aside (which fortunately caused no lasting harm), I felt like they went pretty well. I was massively stoked at the end of game ( Read more... )

Today's XKCD, particularly the alt text, helped (fix) my grumpiness a little.

Over the weekend, I heard a number of mentions of how various political candidates are courting the "women vote". The idea of "women" as a voting block is nothing new, of course, but I think I've finally reached saturation on it. If we MUST segment the population into artificial groups for purposes of making gross generalizations about attitudes ( Read more... )
