Dec. 3rd, 2024

We survived Monday! As expected, we were super busy, and I was all talked out by the time the day ended. I ended up doing 60 calls instead of the 40 they're expecting us to. It was a lot. By the end of the day, I was so sick of talking that I swore I was going to take a vow of silence for the rest of the night. I didn't, but damn.

Instead, I made dinner and chatted with Jess. Then, later in the night, I decided to write down the concept for my New Year's Eve game. I wanted to be able to post the link, so people could start thinking about their characters. I set it a little bit later than I was going to, because the I wanted it to reference certain things, so it's set in the late Victorian Era. It's funny, normally I have so much trouble writing. If I tried to write fiction, I'd sit there for an hour and not have anything down on the page. But if I'm writing a D&D treatment, I can type freely. In ten minutes, I had a couple of paragraphs that I'm really happy with.

I ripped the term "mentath" shamelessly off Lilith Saintcrow, but set it later than her Bannon and Clare books. I still have to figure out the exact mystery, though I have a couple of ideas, though both will require research. The blurb can be found right here if anyone is interested. I already have 8 players, which is a lot, and it's only been open for 12 hours. I'm going to cap it at 10, because that's pretty much my limit. I would have limited it to 6 if it weren't the NYE game.

I say I'll do some research, but that's very flexible. I'll probably skim the text and then throw everything in the air and see how things fall. I'm a big fan of letting the players tell me what they want to do. The game starts at 10pm, so I'll need to take a nap after work to keep going til 1am, which is when. our Central time players will celebrate the new year.

Okay, time to get myself together for work. Everyone have an excellent Tuesday!
