I'm preparing for my annual trip to JFK airport to welcome my partner back to the US by downloading Season 1 of True Detective to my tablet for the 2 hour subway ride and the wait at the airport for international flights to clear customs. I've definitely received my money's worth on that purchase.

@kensanata I can't remember if you've ever expressed your opinion on Holmes Basic. I have a box set (rules, adventure B1, but no dice) that I'm thinking of selling but if you'd like it I think my partner will be in Berlin for a week in early September, and maybe she could post it to you from there? I like Moldvay/Cook a lot but I am not such a fan of Holmes.

I'm supposed to be running my usual D&D 5E Adventurer's League game tonight but instead I've opted to stay home, try to throw off my lethargy/depression/whatever it is, and clean up my apartment so when my partner returns after a 60 day stay in Europe she doesn't see *exactly* how slovenly the cat and I can be when left to ourselves for long periods of time 🙁

OD&D game went well. one player had two characters die (once was a bad choice, and the other was just bad luck). everyone seemed to have fun though, including me 😊

Huh, the upgrade from mastodon 2.6.1 *shamefaced* to 2.9.2 was actually pretty straightforward. Even upgrading ruby didn't give me any headaches this time.

Why, oh why, have i agreed to do this?

I have for some reason agreed to run at least one OD&D session for some folks in a couple of weeks. I don't expect this to end well. Already having "discussions" about which supplements to allow, and hearing from the "but {gygax/arneson} did it this way" crowd, and a complete and utter lack of understanding of how much the original rules relied on Chainmail, even if one used the Alternative Combat System.

@kensanata i loved the latest podcast episode. I'm going to be sad when you're done but I'm enjoying it now.

If you like to make things and you really want to go down the rabbit hole, get a 3D printer.
