I'm not much for video games, but I did enjoy mario cart when we had the Nintendo 64.

Morning folks!
Hope everyone has a good day today...
Myself, I'm hoping to have a good day other than the fact that I gave my thumb a nasty deep cut crushing cans yesterday. :\ Owie.

Ouch. I did something like that once. It can be very nasty.
We're looking at another long day of doing nothing as we are too broke to go anywhere.

Stupid family making me mad...
My babysitter, who is also my step-brother in law, is flaking out on watching the kids. So i am getting like, NO sleep. Of course my mother in law does not think he's flaking out, but that I mis understood somthing...
Somtimes I wish i could yell at my mother in law...
My feet hurt, but beyond that I have the next two days off, I will be gaming tonight. YAY ME! We watch a movie last night called Gamers.. funny stuff.. Hows the world today?

I'm gaming after work tonight myself, Ash! 
Orchid blossom, you should try to game since you have a day o' nothin'! Even if it's just a one-shot for one or two pcs, it's something to do.

While having a game sprung on me would keep me from having time to get nervous about it (good), since I have no knowledge of anything in the MM, or really of how to put a game together, I imagine it would come out on the really, really bad side.
Good morning, Crothian. How goes it?

slept terrible...just could not fall asleep last night.
Got a game to run today...the prep for it is they havea nest of Vampires to still take out and there's going to be a bounty hunter named Kane.....I figure I can fill in the other 6 hours of details as they happen.
To put a gmae together you need characters (hopefully the PCs provide or can make these) a general plot, conflict, perhaps a bad guy...and then just go with it. It's like making up a story on the spot...but just don't tell anyone you are. Referr to notesd you don't have, look up names you haven't written down...just take notes on what you create so you have it for next week.

Buffy game I'm guessing with all the nest of Vampires talk?
It's the first few games that would scare me I think. I've always imagined once you get a few weeks down, you just start drawing on what's already happened.
Which for some reason is making me think of something that bothers me a bit about our group. Seems like if we aren't actively moving forward with the adventure, people get antsy. I don't mind spending a half hour with the characters just talking, even if it has nothing to do with the current adventure. But I usually try to move things along cause I can see people getting antsy. Oh well.
