tracker7It's Halloween, my favorite holiday. It's a beautifully gloomy day - rainy and cool and leaves falling and all the good stuff. No parties, of course - I'm not a holiday party kind of guy.
Some reading - after seeing the movie who knows how many times, I finally got around to reading Something Wicked This Way Comes. Heck of a good book, and there's just no way not to see Jonathan Pryce as Mr. Dark. Bradbury was a simply amazing writer. After an episode of Unspooled on the first Hellraiser, I decided to dive into some Clive Barker. Years ago, I read some comics adaptations of his Books of Blood, and one of the stories stuck with me since - "The Skins of the Fathers." The prose original is maybe creepier than the illustrated version I read so long ago; Barker has a talent for making his monsters more sympathetic than they should be - Cabal/Night Breed, for example. Anyway, I'm reading through the Books of Blood on quiet nights and quite enjoying the trip.
Went to Liberty to see Dad over the weekend. A pretty good visit, even if we didn't do much of anything.
NerdLouvia is this weekend. I feel like I'm prepared enough for my games - just have to keep track of how Panic rolls trigger and what they cause to happen.
