Ninja Olympics

Last night we had a session of the Sci-Fi themed Shadake game I've been running. Shadarack *was* back in town; apparently he hadn't contacted anyone because he'd lost internet access while down in California and hadn't had time to get it set up again yet.

Snowwy arranged for his character to part ways with the party, since he's apparently sick of playing on Fridays. He was also very distracted during the session, several times wandering off to the back room to talk to Sandy while I was in the middle of recapping what he'd missed the last time he'd wandered off to the back room to talk to Sandy.

Shadarack said he'd play until the end of this campaign, but then he'd have to think about whether he wanted to continue with the group or go do something else on Fridays. Or, you know, move to California to be with his sugar-mommy. And of course, if he got a job that made him work early on Saturday, he'd have to stop coming immediately.

I asked if maybe we could switch to some other night of the week, since Friday was so awful for everyone, but basically the answer was 'no'. Seems most of the people have to get up really early most days of the week, and I think Snowwy might actually have to *work* the other weeknights around the time we game. Saturday and Sunday are also booked.

So it looks like we'll probably have to look for someone else by the end of this game, or try to keep playing with three.

Anyway, there was also a ( game... )

Story! And some other stuff.

Lots of comics today! Another Maxx graphic novel, and a new Gold Digger featuring the ky00te little were-rats! And, eh, the stupid leprechauns.

I picked up a couple packs of magic cards, and got some to help my blue/black/artifact deck, which, looking at the net, seems to basically be a poor man's Raffinity. Without, you know, the Ravagers. I like it, though. It's fun to kill people with a horde of twenty leaden myr. Well, unless they decide to disconnect. Unless that's Magic Workstation being lame, but I think if it was truly random, it wouldn't happen so often when I'm *winning*.

At any rate, I went on a secret mission to work today to retrieve the following lost tale of the World Tree. Aka 'fanfic'. The other story I was working on a while back... well, it kind of got to the same place all the OTHER long stories I write get to, where I write myself into, not a corner exactly, but a place where I look back and decide I don't like what I've done so far, and can't continue. So this is a one shot.
