Curfew was extended until tonight. Downtown saw some action - the Unitarian church on 4th street declared itself a sanctuary, so LMPD set up shop outside to arrest anyone daring to leave the site, even if they were going home, allowed under the curfew order. One of those arrested and charged with a 4th-degree felony was a state representative, Attica Scott. Her star is definitely ascending, and if there isn't heavy fallout over this arrest, I will be more than a little bit surprised.
Got my new First Order Xi-class shuttle from TLGS on Friday. Some supply issues, according to Clay, but I got my ship and that's what matters. Colin was at the shop when I stopped by; he was at the church when LMPD started showing up, and he had enough warning to hop on his bike and GTFO before the siege began. There's no telling when I'll get to break in this little ship - I flew it in playtesting, but with a proxy model, of course. I have several pilots from the card pack to work through, and the entirety of the Republic ships I've bought so far. Whatever. There's something like time.
An old GenCon and Spycraft buddy had an opening in his online (of course) Mutants & Masterminds game, and I got to play! Built a sorcerer, at Alan's request, and it was a heck of a lot of fun. It's going to be a weekly game, so that's got my RPG time sorted out. We're past the halfway point with Delta Green, including the side trek this week and next, and one of my players is already interested in taking over GM duties, so holy cow I may be spending more time as a player than a GM for a while.
I started reading Fred Saberhagen's Empire of the East series last week. I've never read Saberhagen, and so far, that's my loss. It's a fantasy tale in a way-the-hell-post-apocalyptic Earth, and already I'm seeing the influences this had on D&D.
