Tonight is DOLMENWOOD NIGHT and the crypts of the Abbey of St Clewydd beckon

Laid-back game night tonight, some Flip 7 and Cat Blues. Small, sharp, funny games, lots of laughs and fun side talk.

On one hand, I'm stoked that Beka is into Andor as much as I am now. On the other hand, now we have to wait to watch it together, which means about 2 episodes a week 🥲

Be skeptical of anyone who claims intermittent fasting has intrinsic benefits, but for me it does make a calorie deficit that much easier. 2 large-ish meals per day is way preferable 3+ small ones.

DANG, CMYK's Hot Streak looks like fun. Easy buy, more madcap betting games pls

The Hunger Games except the lottery is for a chance to be one of that year's constituents tasked with following and bitch slapping your representative on behalf of the district

The neighborhood smells of blooming lilacs and Vietnamese food 😊

Hoping for an Old Fashioned and some Andor episodes tonight.

25 miles on the bike today!

Me thinking about running horror RPGs

My ultimate skeletal guardian in last night’s Dragonbane showdown freaking missed on his Longsword check and didn’t get a chance to double-slash the two heroes aggressively attacking 😭 he did get a chance to *parry* a fireball though so that was fun.

Stop, I can only get so hyped.

Tonight is Dragonbannnne

Took the kids to the doctor rather unexpectedly. No problems, just a slightly overdue 4th-year checkup (and vaccines) for Luke, and they had a 6pm opening. Very routine but I did not have “shepherding the poor boy through his shots” on any kind of bingo card for tonight.

The kids can both walk, speak, attend preschool, and use the toilet unassisted. Next anticipated milestone: not having *every single evening* soft-capped at 7pm.

I’m only still on Insta so I can post the occasional pic of the kids and see the occasional clickbait cleavage (now much more likely to be AI-generated) but 90% of the stuff I see in my feed is just ads for protein ramen and creatine gummies.

The last 6 minutes of my shift is always completely pointless but I WILL get called out if I decide to just leave that much earlier. We live in a society.

As is tradition, I taught Age of Steam to 3 new players and lost miserably to all of them.

Game night tonight. Hoping for 4p Age of Steam on the ol’ Rust Belt map.

It’s a Jerry Goldsmith kinda day. So far while working from home and doing chores I’ve listened to Lionheart, First Knight, and Under Fire.

Just finished an asynchronous game of 1860 that began in November 2024 🤡

I love springtime but allergy season can go to heck

Bedtime things (Luke is 4, Jane is 2)

Ordered an old painted lot of 40K Ork Boyz off eBay for use in Space Gits :D

Some stuff I consumed this afternoon

Every summer we road trip to visit family in Ontario. Not sure if we’re going this year - my wife is a green card resident of the US and we’re not positive she’ll get back in if we leave.

All kudos to the developers of TI4 Async on Discord, but playing effectively on it requires a level of mental overhead I am simply incapable of reserving at this time 🫠

Some astonishing variety of play last month.

It was Dolmenwood night tonight and we actually played! Such a joyful experience, so nice to be around my favorite people 💛
