Discovered Subnautica Below Zero today with me son, we had loads of fun exploring this world and we will come back to it. I thought he would be more scared, but not at all. A Brute Shark scared both of us, but we had a good laugh about it.

Last nights 13th Age game with library kids had an interesting engagement moment: once they killed the Specter of a Yuan-Ti general the two middle school kids (younger siblings of the HS kids) were 125% all in on “WHAT IS THE TREASURE!?” Yelling over each other for what they wanted.

Since this was a reskinned AD&D 1E adventure the hoard was fabulously detailed, feeding the sheer avarice on display.

Last nights OSR-style game with the library kids was, thanks to the oracular bones of St. Cuthbert, about as cinematic a session as I've ever run.

Some context: a century ago the city of Koralgesh was betrayed by its chief wizard, who lowered the city's defenses to allow demon-backed pirates to enter. The city's god, Kor, destroyed the city via volcanic eruption to kill the invaders and give refugees a chance to escape.

For the library kids this week I took a very old John Nephew adventure from Dungeon #6 and reskinned it from a demonically tainted cairn to an under-the-burned-out-Yuan-Ti-temple dungeon with minimal effort. It was a joy to watch the older kids interact with the Yuan-Ti remains and ghosts and explaining to the younger kids all the shit that went down in the Forbidden City 18-20 months ago.

This is why you run long campaigns.

When I told my Ace daughter that O-Chul had identified as Asexual she burst into tears and said that Rich Burlew was a damn legend.

Never let anyone tell you that representation doesn't matter.

The joy of OSR is having no idea what happens next. The library kids were exploring several smaller rooms off a central chamber and the one with the Sculpt Elements spell found some petrified guards. She asked if her spell could undo that and since Knave doesn’t have a specific “stone to flesh” spell i said “sure” and now she has two new century out of date but very grateful henchmen. (It helped that she is a follower of the same god these guys worship.)

I'm not sure I can say I gave Draw Steel a full fair test, but I did confirm that it was NOT going to work with the library kids.

Part is on me: I have never run tactical combat the way that DS is designed for, and I found the unfamiliar cognitive load burdensome.

Part of it is on the Delian Tomb, the starter adventure, which opens with 4 big combats with minimal interstitial tissue that, with my cognitive load issues, wore me down.

I’m sure someone has done this before but I had the image this morning of introducing a pair of undead investigators (investigators who happen to be undead) for the Lich King named Moulder and Scummy

But I don’t know that any of the library kids would get the joke
