I woke today to the sound of rain pattering on the windows—an unexpected surprise after the storms forecast for yesterday evening never materialized. I love rain. And today's weather, with grey skies that turn the foliage vibrant green, and enough precipitation to make a pleasing sound but not so much to prevent a long walk with rain boots and an umbrella, was made for me.
D&Doings
Our MEGAGAME has been on pause since February thanks to the coronavirus: we have up to 11 players per session and the DM is understandably not keen on wrangling attention from that many individuals in a virtual setting. But then yesterday, one of the MEGAGAME players, who had DMed our previous game, contacted the group to gauge interest in an online campaign he plans to start up. The GC and I are certainly interested, and it sounds as though four other players are as well. I really hope this develops into a game—I miss playing with these guys.
In other D&Doings, yesterday’s weekly online game ended on a cliffhanger in the midst of an epic combat (the party versus at least 17 NPCs), and tonight’s biweekly session will resume in the midst of a multi-week dungeon crawl.
Cursed
It’s been awhile since I’ve had some new Arthuriana in my life. Unfortunately, I don’t think Cursed will be it. It’s not that it’s Frank Miller. I usually find Frank Miller boring and predictable, but the writing in this was...okay? It was more that the production nailed a trifecta of things I dislike.( Cut for episode 1 spoilers. ) Granted, this is only the first episode and first episodes can be notoriously uneven, but this series will have to do some work to win me over.
