After finishing Super Saturdays, my next project might be a Shadowdark hack where you play as a band of cutthroat mercenaries who are also insects.

Butterscotch got into the crawlspace behind the tub in the upstairs bathroom and I can't get him out. The animal control guy said not to worry and he'll come out when he's hungry, but he went so far in there that I can't see him. To top it off, I have a house full of children and other cats.

To top it off, spoose is bedridden for six weeks due to intense surgeries and can only move with a walker.

I spent all day Friday at the ER with my spoose. Can I just have one fucking day without a calamity.

Children have trouble with simple commands like, "Leave the bathroom closet open so Butterscotch can get out, but if you need to use the toilet don't leave the BATHROOM door open because we don't want the other cats going in." The 10 year old should be fine, but 13yo will forget I told him that.

One of these days I'd like to write something post-apocalyptic in the sense of a revelation instead of a destruction. I don't know what that would actually be about or be like, but I like it as an idea.

In my Shadowdark run of Castle Amber, the party made it to the dining room full of phantom guests. It contains magical foods that give boons and curses at random. They were cautious at first, but dug in after several lucky rolls. All but one of them tried the brandy that 50/50 makes you a ghost.

The halfling sneaked out of the room, traumatized by what he saw.

The hand of an ogre pushed out through the bed curtains, tossing a few coins. "I'm in my nightgown!" Eventually the ogre poked her head out as well. That's when they noticed the stench in the fireplace.

Soon after they encountered a pair of wraiths in a bedroom. The wraiths shrieked and attacked. One party member shut the door. I decided to say the wraiths were bound to the room. I can be merciful. Then they met "Janet Amber".

I had seven players last night and to three of them I said, "Remember when I told you that you needed to roll back-up characters?" Still they were shocked.
