Weekend Review

First, anyone who holds the remembrances of times spent as a Trekkie needs to read the current update at SomethingAwful.com, because it's totally awesome.

Anyway, Saturday was Carmen's birthday party, which was very nice. People's performances were really, really awesome, and I was glad that I went, though I offer profuse apologies to everyone who saw me that I had I looked like hell (I saw myself in the mirror, it was bad. ;) ) ...so yeah, I'm really sad for the evil doom cloud.

Sunday was Hogwarts. I was a bit freaked out about STing (my first LARP GMing experience, though I've been GMing table tops on and off for about 3 years), but I think it went pretty well (though I didn't really do much that made me an ST...in terms of my actions for the game, I was closer to an NPC...). I didn't get most of the prep I was supposed to do done cause of Saturday stuff, so I ended up making pretty much everything up, and though I'm usually pretty terrible at extended speeches on the fly and the like, they came together pretty well, especially the stuff I spouted in Arithmancy (a little of which I ended up recycling for Spell Research/History of Magic).

Bitched out of class and belly dance today; tonight I have to do an hour and a half observation at the Monroe County Public Library Reference desk, and then I have to GM my game. I have evil plans for a potentially lethal combat, though, I've been looking forward to it since last week, hehehe...my vengeance for all my players being really quiet last game...hopefully, they won't just kick my enemies butt...

The arithmancy class went quite well and you explained it well. They never really explained it in the book so your depictions ofthe runes and such were a great idea I thought.

I just ran with a. the fact that in the books, it's described as horribly arcane and incomprehensible, and b. the fact that I knew we were planning to have arithmancy skill help in metamagic stuff like extending the duration of the spell. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

is there going to be a list of what spells can be altered or do we just run it by the ST's if we have a question?

Most of the time, I'd say clear it with us. The exact mechanics haven't been worked out yet.

Hey, is there a list that I was supposed to get myself on?

The last communication about the game that I got was the email that Kendra had sent to a huge list of people, reminding that the game was Sunday at the Union. I got there around 2:15, after my kendo gig, and wandered the Union for half an hour before giving up and going home. (I even checked email while I was there to see if something had gone out since 10 that morning...)

If you got that one, then you are on the wrong list. It must have just been a mistake. :( That said, Jason was sitting in the union to redirect people. It seems like wires must have just gotten crossed. :( I'm sorry!!
