Weekend Wrapup- 29Oct2007

Category: Weekend

There was frost on the lawns this morning, a reminder that all the warm weather we have had here in Buffalo, is fading fast.  This October has been very warm here, and most of us were getting spoiled wearing only light shirts and even shorts as late as last month.  All that was ended, when last night we had to switch the thermostat from AC to heat.

But all in all it was a good weekend.   Sargon returned home this week from his Honeymoon, and with our gaming group reconstituted we got back to some gaming.  This week was Spenser’s new True20 campaign, based on The Dresden Files books.  We started with a round of 20 Questions, to flesh out our character backgrounds, and then jumped right into the first session.  Spenser wasted no time by pulling out an in media res opening, throwing us into combat in the opening moments of the campaign.  Overall the session went well, as the players got use to their characters, and learning the True20 system.

The rest of the weekend was spent getting some small projects done around the house, as well as getting this weeks blogs started. It is my writing week this week, for my Iron Heroes campaign, so I wanted to get a jump on my blogging, before I am buried in session notes and stat blocks.   I did get a little Dreamcast in as well, playing Gauntlet Legends.  The game is a lot of fun, but its better played with multiple players.

You may have noticed that yesterday, I posted a blog from my cell phone, via a web service called Jott.  I will be taking some time on Wednesday to talk about Jott, and how I use it to patch a leak in my GTD system.   On Friday, I am going to talk about using 20 Questions as a technique to kick off a campaign.   So make sure you stop by this week.
