beansideLaissez le bon temps rouler!
Welcome to a rainy morning in Maryland! Supposedly, it's going to change over to snow in the next couple of hours, but we shall see. Either way, I have to visit Dad, and pick up a king cake from the bakery, so hopefully it isn't too bad.
Yesterday was a quiet day. I did nothing exciting. I didn't even do my stated goal of working on Wednesday's game. I just surfed the internet, and did not a whole lot. In the afternoon, we did watch Aquaman 2, so I suppose I did something?
It was a bad movie. Not bad enough to not finish, but not good either. Actually, it wasn't even so much a movie as a collection of set pieces pulled from better movies, vaguely strung together into an almost coherent plot. Star Wars? Sure, lets mash the cantina scene with Jabba's Palace. Kong: Skull Island? Sure! And for our climax, lets just wholesale borrow the plot and set design from Lord of the Rings. It'll be great. Spoiler, it's not great. It's pretty bad, actually. It's filled with talented actors there to cash their checks. Of all of them, the best two parts were Randall Park and Patrick Wilson, both of whom seemed to recognize the movie they were in, and did their best with it.
Tomorrow, I'm going to get my hair trimmed, so I don't look like a total idiot when I start work in a week. The sides have gotten to the point that they're kind of sticking straight out, and I kind of hate it. And then we have game, which will be fun. It's a Valentines Day themed one shot. Seems like it'll be fun.
I'm currently trying to be good and not buy another module, no matter how cool it sounds. I need to at least finish one or more modules before I do that. I do think Strahd is winding down. They've got the sidequest they're on now, and then one other thing to do before the only thing left is facing Strahd himself. Storm Lord's Thunder is almost done, but there are a couple of follow up modules that we could do if anyone wants to. So, we'll see
Okay, I am definitely in need of more coffee now. Everyone have a terrific Tuesday, and a happy Mardi Gras!
