Wow, I just totally forgot on Sunday...
Apr. 3rd, 2014 10:26 pmThat's ridiculous. I've been doing this for how many years? I suppose in my defense I was up until three in the morning getting ready for a trial on Monday, but still...
Let's see if I can still remember last week:
Last Tuesday: Auria! Continuing our investigations into How To Kill A Dark God, plus doing some rituals of ascension and things.
Last Wednesday: I don't think there was anything? Not 100% sure, feel free to remind me if I forgot something.
Last Thursday: Went by Boston Costume to see if they had stuff I wanted for Witchwood, but they mostly didn't. Then home for a bit, then VBL.
Last Friday: Uhm... Nothing I remember? Maybe I didn't remember to update 'cause nothing happened last week...
Last Saturday: Running some errands, then post-Dragon-dinner.
Last Sunday: The second half of Killbot's one-shot Shadowrun game, in which we victoriously completed our job then got backstabbed (some) by our employer. Followed by the aforementioned staying up too late for work.
Monday: Crashed hard.
Tuesday: Auria! We got to the actual "time to go explore bad-guy territory" part, and remembered we're no good at getting places we haven't already been. But we eventually made it to the mountains near badguy land, and will hopefully explore badguy land next time.
Wednesday: Rich Girl, at the Lyric. It is somewhat too bleak for me, as is the Henry James source material, but it was better than I expected, particularly given the Globe didn't like it much. The actors were all strong (although the titular Rich Girl wasn't as impressive until the character became less useless... which might have been intentional, but was still kind of distracting in the first act), and it held out some vague hope for the human condition. Call it 7.5 days of game before dying of cancer.
Thursday: Brundibar and But the Giraffe at the Central Square theater, with the MBA. They're a translation of a German (Czech?) children's opera and a framing one act by Tony Kushner, where the original opera was first performed in a concentration camp, and the frame story is about getting the score to the camp. Without the background, the children's opera would not be terribly interesting (it's ok, but it was kinda on school-play level), but with the background, they made it into a compelling piece. Call it living 6 days of game in a game with a really compelling background.
And now Sunday's update will be thin indeed.
