I can not even this morning. I slept really well until about 4:30 when the cat decided it was an awesome time to come bug me. I nudged her off the bed and tried to get back to sleep, and 20 min later, she was back. We played this game til about 5:30, when I finally rolled on my side. Dumb idea. At 5:45, she was back and stepped directly on the rotator cuff tear, to the point that I nearly levitated, ad Jess had to move her off me, because I couldn't move, it hurt so bad. It made waking up a grumpy thing, for sure.
It was only 15 min before I normally get up, but still. It definitely woke me up. I am still sitting here feeling the echoes of that pain. I thought I was being all smart, but no, I was not. I definitely won't do that again.
Had a fun night last night with our Blades in the Dark game. It was the tail end of another game that's now lasted 3 sessions. I wasn't sure how long it would take, so I had a backup game ready, but I didn't need it. I'll have that one for next session. My Blades notes are generally about the same length as my MotW notes--short and not particularly detailed. I usually leave it for my players to come up with what they want to do. I feel like it makes for more spontaneity in the game. Plus, if I only have one or two scenes, or even in some cases, just a central conceit, it puts the games less on rails. The players can go afield as far as they want. It runs the risk of going completely off topic, but that's okay. I can always throw an NPC in to point them back towards the right direction.
Today, Dad's doctor is stopping by. We're going to ask him about his various diaper rashes, and see if he has any suggestions. His thighs are improving, but he has one in a fold of his skin along his side that's particularly red and irritated, so we need to at least have him look at that one.
Tomorrow, I have a telehealth with my psych doctor in the morning, and game in the evening. Curse of Strahd, and time to continue to work their way through the Amber Temple. Time to see how many players make unfortunate deals with dark entities!
I seem to be on a bit of a scheduling spree, getting three seperate one shots, plus a couple of campaigns. Even with my back and shoulder, I'm feeling pretty good at the moment, so I figured I should get some ducks in a row. Of course, I'm trying to keep the schedule around my surgery light, so of course, I have games Friday and Saturday. (Surgery is on a Wednesday.) Hopefully, I'll be up to it. Friday is Frostmaiden, and that's a relatively easy game to DM. On the other hand, Saturday is the newest campain, Odyssey of the Dragonlords. That could be a little more challenging.
Okay, time to sign off and get myself together. Everyone have an amazing Thursday!
