In Broad Daylight
Oct. 8th, 2012 08:52 pmThe good part of Saturday was getting in a game of Trail of Cthulhu, the first time I've played it under the Purist setting. It was suitably bleak and anticlimactic. The Investigators found things, and those things were horrible, and the Investigators did not survive intact.
Scoring a copy of Fortress America at half-price was pretty nice, too.
The bad part? Knowing that it was the last time I'd be in that place, at least while it's still a store. AW was a great shop, and the communities it helped create will continue. That's something.
Speaking of great shops, I stopped in at Yottaquest in Cincinnati yesterday. Best darn game store I've ever seen. Stock and selection like you wouldn't believe. Clean, well-lit, huge playing area, and friendly knowledgeable staff. Man alive, this place...
I started reading The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy this weekend. I like Ellroy, a lot, but damned if he isn't disturbing as anything. Man's a mess, but he sure can write.
