Plinky asked, “If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell? Food? Clothing? Books?” Bookstore (IBC) Books and needlework items! My former partner and I used to dream about opening a combination book/stitching/gaming/coffee shop. Of course, independent bookstores are nearly dead, and even Borders is dead now thanks to Amazon. Little needlework […]
Cruisin’
Plinky asks, “Would you ever take a cruise? Why or Why not? Where would you go?” And Another Cruise Ship Sure. I’d love to take a cruise. In fact, that seems like a lovely way to travel to/through the Caribbean or the coast of Alaska. I know people who have done both who recommend both trips […]
Good Reads Migration Finished!
That was not painless at all. The import feature is tetchy, at best. I had to go through the entire list of 1300+ books and fix their “bookshelf” assignments, and add some that just didn’t import at all. I had over 1400 books in Now Reading, and I haven’t quite figured out why there are […]
My name is Cynthia, and I am a roleplaying addict
My one and only complaint about gaming with Sam is that I never, ever get enough. He’s just so good, and the stories are so fascinating, that I always want more! I’m just greedy, I guess. Yep, I flubbed my saving throw against being a geek.
Fun Day
I have an SBQ to post, but it’ll have to wait. 🙂 I’m loving having Hope here for a visit. She’s great company, and certainly easy on the eyes. She’s been marvelously patient with my need to sleep so much and the fact that I’m dopey from fibro fogs and medications.
TotD: Robin Laws on Roleplaying Games
I hadn’t ever thought of it this way, but I think the man is on to something. “One of my pet theories about the popularity of roleplaying games goes like this. Roleplaying is fantasy shopping for guys. That is, men would, as a group, be more interested in shopping if a) it meant never having […]
Date Night Happiness
My sweetie had to run a bunch of errands before he got home last night, which shortened our date a bit. Groceries were needful, though. We had some delicious deli-style sandwiches after he got home, so there wasn’t a kitchen mess to deal with, too. I think we watched an episode of West Wing while eating. […]
I Will Try Not to Bore You
But tonight’s game was really, really good, and even though we retconned something and most GMs wouldn’t be as accommodating as Sam, he managed to make a new thing damn near as difficult (or more so than) the old thing, and how is it that he has so much story in there? Oh! He also brought […]
Gary Gygax Died
I heard a rumor about this earlier today but couldn’t find confirmation. Now, though, it’s on CNN and most of the other major news sites: Gary Gygax, Dungeons & Dragons creator, dies. The Wired article is slightly different from the AP story everybody else is running.
Semester done!
I took my project management final tonight, so I’m done with the semester! Now I’m trying to download the textbook files for next semester, but the ebook server is having Issues. In the meantime, I’m listening to some lovely new music, free and legal, over at TheSixtyOne. I don’t know how Sam found out about […]
