We had visitors, but a LOT less than I expected due to weather, temps, and a seeming lack of significant numbers of participating houses leaving our street kinda dark. Probably gave out maybe...1/3 to 1/2 of what we had. And we had a pretty good amount because of past experiences.

Tomorrow I head to Carnage on the Mountains. It is Vermont's main (okay..... only) DnD convention held the first weekend of each November. I have not gone in about ten years due to health and finances. Even this year I'm going as an observer only. Hoping to see a few friends I have not seen in years.

My mind wandered towards the oft-ridiculous hammers in fantasy, which would require gauntlets which gave one ogre-like strength and weight to wield, and from there to Marvel comics' and films' Thor...

...And thence to the thought that Thor's hammer in those series is actually a sensible design. It just is not a sensible design as a weapon.

The character of Odin in those series (serieses? seriesi?) wanted the character of Thor to calm down and stop wrecking things.

I just finished running the session I co-wrote. It was fun. Been like 16 years since i ran a live session

Yeah, groups tend to fall appart however since then every so often I run online games (pretty much once or twice a month since this summer and prior to that I ran several pbps here in enworld)

Carnage was as good as expected. Saw few of the people I was hoping to see but that is how it goes. Got a good deal on figures (3 boxes for 25)

Wore my new Eberron shirt a friend made for me.

I have been playing Fantasy Age. Thoughts below:

- It is definitely a "fantasy heartbreaker". That is not a bad thing.
- Magic-users trade a limited resource of "magic points", and needing to roll to cast a spell, for powerful spells. Most of our encounters were resolved at the point the magic-user cast a spell. Since the magic-user has yet to come near to running out of "magic points", I am unsure of the viability of this limitation.
- I am convinced, more and more, that a standard array is the way to go. Rolling almost guarantees a lack of balance; point-buy almost guarantees optimization.
- I am not sure armour is as useful as high defence, and the armour penalties seem a little high.
- The game is fun and plays fast.

Edit: I have since been informed by our magic user that they currently have one remaining magic point.

What happens when you eat chips while gaming? New players of course.
