Character sheet for Season 2 of my campaign is ready! Now, just have to create the player's guide and we're good to go.
As I sit with Xbox controller in hand, I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Now if you'll excuse me, there's some Halo ODST to be played.
I grew bored, so I made a cover for the magic book in my home-brew fantasy game.
I love my Cthulhu dice from Q-Workshop. So much so, that I have two sets. I got bored and created this little ad idea.
First, there's this bit of awesomeness: www.hitfix.com/video/watch/16737337001/4
Here's hoping this one not only lives up to, but surpasses the original.
In other news...
Rachel and I have been on a video game kick of late. It started simply enough- I bought Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Then we bought Oblivion. Today, we bought Assassin's Creed and Left for Dead. I found HALO: ODST pretty cheap online and ordered it too.
The fact that Left for Dead 2 comes out next week is not lost on me either.
My wallet is going to hate me, but I will have great fun in destroying hordes of zombies. :)
After a week away, I was able to get our weekly Solomon Kane campaign back on track last night. My girlfriend, Rachel, joined us as a Bedouin former slave. This was her first time role-playing, but she took to it like a fish to water. In fact, where the regulars of the group were messing around or unsure of what to do, she was prompting them into action.
Also, everyone learned to respect her skill with a blade. She killed more than a few guards during an escape from a castle and in the end, it was she who destroyed the succubus that was plaguing the town.
Ahh, I'm a lucky man!
I went to see Paranormal Activity with Rachel on Friday night. I liked the movie and it gave me a couple of ideas of things to do in my horror games. Now, if you've seen the commercials, you've seen that they show not just the movie clips but clips of the audiences jumping and screaming in terror. That's exactly what it was like when I saw we saw it. The whole theater was screaming and jumping. Three people had to leave due to not being able to handle it and one guy got up and literally ran out of the theater after a particularly jump-worthy moment.
A good flick.
Last night, my gaming group and I went to see it. Much the same reaction, but more subdued. This time, instead of a guy running out in fear, a girl fainted at the end.
Now, this movie isn't for everyone. The guy I was sitting next to last night kept talking through the whole movie and later said it was because it just didn't grab his interest. You'll have that. The actions of the male character, Mica, make you want to strangle him and there's a moment where he's explaining his flawed logic about what he thinks is going on that will have most role-players beating their heads against a wall.
Still, a great movie for the Halloween season.
