Weekend Update

First things first: New Strongbad E-mail!

Okay, so this weekend was a blast. I’m exausted, drained, and in all other ways completely in need of another weekend. The Friday party was pretty good… I could have had more fun, but my own hang-ups got in the way.

The Saturday Sabbat game was a lot of fun for me — not as much fun for others. Mr. Finger gets more XP! And my desire to run a troupe game becomes even stronger.

Sunday was spending the day in a slow journey north, back toward LA. We stopped off at a local game store — much nicer than the one I have to frequent here — and stopped off to say “Hi!” to ‘s parents. They were very sweet and gave us water for our trip. We got caught in seventeen different kinds of traffic, finally making it home around 7:00.

The L5R game was a riot. I got to show them Toturi and all his wacky notions of honor, glory, duty, Shinsei, and bushido. Not your typical samurai. I thought the Ikoma’s head was gonna explode. His treatment of the Scorpions was… unique. Welcome to Lion Lands. No, we don’t hope you stay. You can go home any day now. How about right now?

And, of course, in the morning, it all started. The Big Thing. The one thing that can kill every player in the game. I’m looking forward how they deal with it.

Three Days of Hell otherwise known as The Scorpion Coup. Not everyone will live, but everyone will die with honor.

And that’s what samurai drama is all about. I can’t wait.
