I have some friends, but I’m not sure who is my best friend. Maybe Marith, maybe Ayse?
Played (D&D5e): Librarians Errant. Cut to the Temple of Sobek-in-Chains on the Demielemental Plane of Egyptology! Grim, having ended up in the trash compactor with the beautiful high priestess and her roguish love interest (but no wookie or droids), is fleeing the over-armored and under-trained Stormcroc Troopers down one corridor, and the rest of the Reshelving Squad is fleeing a quartet of literal giant crocodiles along the intersecting corridor. They’re reunited, but they have to make a stand! Fortunately Grim’s fey-granted power of animal control is extremely effective when the only significant threat is giant crocodiles, and the day is saved. The restored priesthood of Sobek will not be dismantling the giant sun-cannon on top of the temple, which surely will not be an issue. Decorations and rewards for all (including sweet crocodile tattoos of protection for Thaïs so people will stop teasing her about being unarmored), level UP! And now, back into Bibliospace to finish the journey to Renwick’s laboratory for advice.
We have to bring this campaign to a satisfying conclusion by the end of the summer, as two of our players are moving, and also figure out what to play next. Apparently people actually read this page? So maybe I should have something to playtest by then? And figure out how to explain all the D&Disms I want to get rid of in positive terms.
Read (novel): Like Cicadas (Fiori Manni, tr Emma Sayers): A girl goes to summer on the coast like her family always does, but this year all the girls her age are having puberty and making eyes at boys instead of wanting to do anything fun, and there’s a new girl who is completely amazing, and no one in 1990s Italy knows what lesbians are so great confusion and also great adolescent drama ensues.
Written (catgirl): 268.
