tracker7Had a very good time at RiverCityCon. Games went well - my DCC sessions, the Castles & Crusades game I played in, and some board games with a couple of Louisville friends I should have spent some time with long before now. DCC at fifth level is just bonkers - characters getting multiple action dice, huge bonuses and big dice for warriors and dwarves and thieves. I stopped reminding players of the second dice after about an hour - I had enough to manage on my side of the screen.
The Tuesday night group wrapped up the Dragonbane campaign last night. I was sick - more in a moment - and sat out the session. They opted for another Dragonbane campaign, and I'm going to sit it out, at least for a while. The monthly OSE game is great. The Tuesday night group is fantastic. But, like things were a few months ago, I'm playing enough fantasy.
Probably unrelated, I've had the hardest time writing a scenario for my Cyberpunk Red game. Players gave me some great ideas; I just haven't been able to do anything with them. I'm experiencing some kind of burnout or more likely a creative logjam. My players deserve good games, darnit.
So, yesterday. Woke up not feeling well - body aches, headache, fever, sore throat. Took a shower, wobbled my way back to bed and emailed the boss to tell her I was taking a sick day. Crawled under the blanket and went right back to sleep. Fever went away mid-afternoon, and many hours of sleep helped. Still had a headache when I got up this morning, but it wasn't enough to keep me home for another day.
