beansideIt's Saturday and I can sleep as late as I wanna. (So I'm up at 7:15, facepalm.) I don't really have a ton to do today. I may run up to the mall. I have a candle on hold at Migraine Land, aka Yankee Candle, so I need to get that.
I used to have one in the house, but it got kinda tossed. It's called Witches Brew, and it's a black candle that's kind of spicy and resiny. I like it, so when I saw an ad for the halloween candles, I had to grab one. I'll probably go early before the mall gets too crowded.
Then nothing to do until I start cooking around 3:30pm. I'm going to make steak subs, so I need time to chop up some onions, saute them , saute mushrooms and then cook the frozen steak ums.
In between, plenty of time to read a PDF and work on upcoming games. I've got a lot to do in the next month for Crooked Moon, and a *lot* to do for the Land of Marchen in a few months. Crooked Moon is a premade, so I just need to make sure I'm familiar with the story line, and work in a few things. I also need to send out final backstory questions for my players to fill out. It's no real heavy lifting until the game starts.
Marchen is all heavy lifting. Right now, I'm working out the basics of the land. It's a pocket dimension with various nations. Each is in the grip of one or more fairy tales, and I'm looking forward to fleshing it out. I just figured out the three deities, so that's a start.
Once I flesh out the world, I need to flesh out the plot further. Then, I need to start sourcing all the tokens and maps, and make character sheets. Some are going to be harder than other. Where does one find the stat block for a Yaobikuni, a Japanese person who eats mermaid flesh and turns into a monster. What kind of monster? Guess we'll find out.
I'm starting the characters at 3rd level, so I need to come up with some mid-tier monsters in addition to the tougher ones. At first, they're going to be interacting with the lesser known fairytales or gentler ones. I don't think they want to fight a great black dragon at 3rd level.
We also have a game tonight and tomorrow that I should probably do a bit of prep for.
Tomorrow, off to the Renn Faire! I've been looking forward to this all week. We're going to go early and get our liquor first, put it in the cooler, and then proceed to the fair. This of course, depends on how early we get there, and how close our car is.
Then, we'll walk through the Renn Faire, and have plenty of food, and then go forth and come home for game.
Then bed, and back to work, feeling hopefully satisfied and happy with our weekend.
Jess goes Tuesday for their new tattoo, a phoenix feather to match the raven feather on their other forearm. I can't wait to see it. Their artist, Ronie does amazing work. This'll be Jess' third tattoo with them. Pictures to come!
And on that note, time to do some work. Everyone have an awesome Saturday!
