It's Monday, and Maryland is in mourning apparently. Over football. Because Taylor Swift apparently jinxed our team? Or something? I follow the sportsball good. The morning news my sister has had on has been appropriately somber, and I've seen the clip of Tay-Tay kissing her boyfriend about three times. I expect to have to hear about this for another week at least, which will be annoying, I have no doubt.
Today, either Jess or I need to go see Dad, but aside from that, not much going on. I'm going to try to plot out Thursday's game, so that I'm ready for that. First on the list of things to do is to finally rewatch the goddamn movie it's loosely plotted off of. Then, the hardest part for me. NPC names. Then, actually building the NPCs in Roll20, and finding maps. Then, plotting out the actual first session and beyond. Fortunately the last thing isn't too hard. I tend to figure out what the goal of the session is, write a few things that I want to throw at them, and then let my players do heavy lifting of getting there. I spend the majority of time reacting to what my chaos goblins want to do, and seeing which way the plot advances from there.
Then Friday is Frostmaiden, which is another game that is 100% homebrew now. Fortunately, that's mostly plotted out for this session. Saturday, we have two games, and one on Sunday.
Yesterday, unfortunately, our morning game was cancelled due to illness, so we only had two games. Both were a lot of fun. In our Mad Mage game, the party found the find out part of fuck around, and I managed to knock two of the players to unconsciousness. Fortunately, the healer was still up, so they all survived, and got a level up out of it. In the evening, in![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
poisontaster's game, we investigated a murder mystery in a haunted house. We scoured the house, and talked to the horrible nobles who lived there.
I decided to hold my covid shot off for a week, since next week, we basically have no games that week, so if I feel like ass, I have til 6 days to recover. It seemed like a better plan. That way, I still get it before I start working, but I have more time if it fucks me up.
And now, I'm going to have some more coffee, and ponder the existence of pants. Or at least the likelihood of me wearing them. Everyone have an amazing Monday.
