Such Great Heights

I started reading Ilario: The Lion's Eye (Mary Gentle) this week.  Same setting as the Book of Ash, but a new set of characters, and no sign yet of the ripples-in-time-and-space.  There's lots to do with gender in this one (the title character and narrator is a hermaphrodite), and I expect it's going to send me off into more reading.

My DGSE project is going to go on a brief hold, followed by an expansion in scope.  I agreed this week to pick up some work for a Certain Fantasy Game, and it's a higher priority.  Once that's out of the way and I'm back on DGSE, it's going to expand to include the DST as well.  Go get 'em, French intelligence and counter-terrorism agencies!

The L5R game could have wrapped up this week - the players captured one of the two main villains of the piece.  There are enough loose ends to keep the action going for three more sessions, though, and I now have to stave off the growing rebellion to make this an open-ended game.

The Legends started their season this week with a road stretch against Asheville.  Home games start Monday night.

Horsemen game tonight.  Should probably get over to Rupp and get a ticket before game time.

I'll be interested in your review of Ilario. I've read the Ash stuff and Grunts, and it's hard to believe that the same author did both.

As for L5R... well, y'know, as long as you're enjoying running it...

I'm having a terrific time with L5R, but I really think this is going to be one of those times when I have to leave the audience wanting more. I know I could get right back to this one in a hurry, though.

If I may make a suggestion, then? Do a season-ending cliffhanger rather than wrapping everything up neatly. That'll leave both you and your players expecting more later.

I couldn't pull that off. In the months between games, I'd forget everything.

Are you two still heading out to the CSA farm tomorrow, and if so, might I tag along?

Take copious notes.

As for the other, mail sent.
