And it's back to work day, boo. But I had a lovely long weekend, so that was awesome!
CONfab finished up yesterday and there weren't too many flash panels in the AM that I was deeply interested in, so in the morning, we went to pick up Jess' weed. "Special" peppermints obtained, it was off to Chipotle for lunch, which was very tasty.
Turned out my MotW game was scheduled opposite Gartic Phone, which is the con juggernaut, so it was![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
poisontaster and me. I had preplanned, just in case and had a back up mystery ready, since Too Many Draculas was really meant for a group, and PT had played it before (which is not a problem, I know she's not going to metagame, but I part of the fun is seeing where things go, and as a solo player that could be tough). The game I found ended up being pretty nonsensical, like it was written in another language and then google translated to English, but it had some interesting underpinnings, so I took the base idea and ran with it.
I was a little worried that I wouldn't be up to the challenge of running a one on one game, but I really enjoyed it. Between the absence of actual substance to the module, and getting to craft it to PT's character's strong suits, it used some different skills. I had a great time, though. It was so much more intense with only one character to focus on. And I was so much more aware that if things went the wrong way, I was going to kill off my first PC. And OMG, Roll20 was SO mean yesterday. I swear, I saw more failed rolls than I normally see in a month. But in the end, good triumphed, and evil was sidestepped for a bit longer. And I feel like the experience might make me a better DM in the long run.
In the process of the rest of the day, I seem to have stepped into more responsibility with CONfab. It's going to be in the "shadowing" phase through the October in person con, but once that's over, I'll be the Senior Director of Membership. So I'm excited about that.
Okay, I am going to get myself together, even though I very much do not want to. Everyone have the best Monday that you can have!
