This weekend went rather well for the most part. Friday I was able to team with some of the Local Group on City of Heroes, which of late hasn't been happening all that often. Got a level on Fire-Line, my Fire/War Mace Tanker out of the deal too. Saturday was the Vanguard game, and while I didn't get to do much I did get good food and a few side matters (kindasorta) settled. However... I started to feel a bit iffy there, like the mildew was getting to me or I was getting sick. I chalked it up to the former and went to work. I felt a bit off, but still nothing that I couldn't chalk up to my allergies screwing with me.

Then came Sunday. Unlike Saturday, where I slept like a rock (other than Spaz waking me by dancing on my head), I woke after about 4 1/2 hours or so. I still wasn't feeling all that bad, and so I made the chili for the Sunday game. It was a good batch, and the run itself was a blast. However, after I left I definitely was feeling like I had an oncoming chest cold.

Which brings us to now. I've a slightly stuffy head, an odd sensation in my chest and a low-grade fever. I'm nodding a bit, and I KNOW I'm sick. I'm gonna beg off work tonight, and hopefully I'll not miss more than a day. Unlike the coworker I think I got it from I won't keep coming in to infect the rest of the crew. :P

I just hope I didn't share the damn thing around. Sorry to people if they catch it.

Oh- and Amy's butterscotch rice krispy bars with chocolate-chip frosting were great. :)

I got it done last night. Not the longest writeup, but the game IS just starting. :)

( 7th Sea-Strange Hospitality )

A new game! We're starting a 7th Seas campaign run by Ben, kind-of replacing the Werewolf campaign (which I STILL hope comes back someday...) Tonight was mostly character generation. We have three of the characters so far, as Mr. G. was not on hand tonight. The dramatis personae so far is as follows:

Illyana Kiralov- My character. She is an Ussuran shapechanger (read: Russian) who's family is fallen nobility from the vicinity of the Azov Forest. At the moment her family are amongst the Smerdi (merchant class, barely above the peasantry), operating in conjunction with several other small families as traders. Six months ago, Illyana found herself in a Tibesti caravan, with no idea how she got there- she made some friends, but what happened to get her there is still a mystery.

Prince Erik Gjeldheimsson- Scott L. A Scandanavian prince and runecaster, he has allowed the wanderlust to take him on journeys across the world to find adventure and fortune.

Zora of the Pirate Isles- Amy L. A pirate of the Rogue Isles, she has made her way north from her usual haunts to avoid the consequences of certain unnamed activities, and is currently without ship, crew or cargo.
