All Day D+D part 1

Yay for double XP weekend! I got two characters up to level 22, SO terriotory. A lot of people use it to push their mid-40s to 50, but once I've got a character in the 40s I kind of don't want to get them to 50 so much. Since that means I'll probably never play them again. q:3 Of course, being afraid of getting them to 50 and never playing them means I tend to never play them, so if I take this to the logical extreme, eventually I'll be making a string of level 1 alts out of fear that my level 10 characters will get to 50...

But most of Sunday was not CoH, despite double XP. It was 4e. First up, finishing off the Thunderspire Labyrinth over at Ed's place. I was worried I'd be late, since I'd stayed on CoH a little long to finish up Darrin Wade's arc with the Pentacle team, but when I got there at 1:15, there was no one else there. Not even Ed! I called Tom('s wife) and she said that Tom and Shawn were on their way... and eventually word got to Ed who'd forgotten about the game entirely (or rather, thought that it was happening the week after) and was in Seattle. But he wasn't doing anything special, so he said he'd head right back. It took him an hour to get back, because the I-90 bridge was closed. Ugh. x.x

( Anyway, once we FINALLY started the game... )

...and then it was 6:20, because those two fights had taken four hours somehow. I was *very very late* to my next game. x.x

...so I was like an hour late to Jurann's game. He called to ask me where I was, and I said I wanted to finish up the fight so to just start without me, but by the time he called the fight was almost over so I ended up getting there just in time for Trailblazer and Xodiac to be about to start a game of Munchkin. Luckily, there were people there to take their place, and we got going on the D+D game without much additional trouble.

I don't expect to be THAT late very often -- this is the first time the other group has gone past six in a long time.

Afterwards we played one game of Dominion, then headed out to Denny's for a very late dinner. MY GOD, it was FREEZING in there! Remind me never to go back to Denny's without a coat.
