GMed (D&D5E): Sign of the Cygnets: It wasn’t as terrible as I feared (which isn’t the same as not being terrible), but the PCs are headed in the direction of clues to their rightful kingdom. They adopted the enemies I sent to annoy them, which surely will not go wrong at all. Next session: murdered in a cave!

Read (novel): Witchlings (Claribel A Ortega): When it’s time for the 12-year-old witches to get sorted into their color-coded covens, the main character gets assigned as Menial Underclass along with the girl who bullies her and the new girl. They decide to risk being turned into toads instead by agreeing to hunt a terrifying monster, and immediately get tangled up in the conspiracies of the morbidly wealthy. Start middle-grade readers on class warfare! The setting is a magical equivalent of roughly modern-day, which is often done badly, but at least the celebrity crushes and rude language sounded right.

Written: Gotta prep for next session, it’s only two weeks!
