The Kentucky Derby Festival is past its midpoint now. Got to see the balloons competing in the Rush Hour Race take off from Bowman Friday morning, and blew off gaming Friday night to go to KFEC for the Glow. A couple dozen hot-air balloons grounded and firing their furnaces just enough to keep the things inflated - and illuminated, hence the Glow - is quite beautiful, and louder than we expected. Darn lovely evening.

Played some X-Wing and Marvel Legendary for tabletop day yesterday. Decent time of it, nothing spectacular.

Started the Mage game tonight. Good group of players and a mix of Traditions represented. It's kicking off as a hunt for a serial killer with the obligatory occult overtones.

Mom&Dad are coming up tomorrow, I think. This is good. I'm missing a lot of the best people in my life right now.

What kind of character did you go with for the Mage game? I almost recommended you go with a House Thig OoH or a VA with a mystical streak to bridge the difference but I figured you knew your business well enough!

Hermetic, no claimed house. He's an engineer, Awakened when working like mad on a propulsion system led to a short-lived perpetual motion machine.

Ah, alright - that sounds like a fun concept!

I figure in a world a step or two over from his, he's full-on Technocratic Union.

What fascinates me about this is how practices aren't what separate organizations so much as, very often, ideologies. And that's the point of the game, which I love!

Indeed. Mage was always my favorite WoD line. Nothing plays with ideas like it does.
