There's this guy, known to a couple of conventions I get to now and then. And he's very much That Guy. Always signs up for games, then proceeds to tell everyone at the table how the game should have been written, how the GM should have done things, just generally worsening the experience for everyone around.

We were briefly connected via FB when he took a liking to my profile pic. Then I sussed out who it was.

Got word this morning, second- or third-hand, that said guy died. While no one is exactly - or publicly - celebrating, nobody seems to be mourning his passing. Dude was a jerk. I've scheduled games with the express intent of not having him at my table.

Oh, what the hell. Russ Minotaur/Professor Tannhauser, you're gone.

9:45AM, and it's already at 86F. This is going to be a brutally hot week or so - highs in the upper 90s, and in the good ol' Ohio Valley humidity, heat indices are going to be in the just-let-me-die-already range.

32 days until Charcon. I've got my games mostly ready; looking to get in a couple of local playtest sessions, just to iron out any wrinkles. I haven't said much about the trip on FB or elsewhere; don't want to have to put any energy into avoiding the couple of cousins that live in Charleston.

I started watching the third (and final) season of Occupied this week. Pretty good political thriller TV series out of Norway; near-future Russian invasion of Norway to control its oil and gas production and avert an energy crisis. Good on Netflix for bringing it over here.

Huh. Seems that I wrote some notes on this as a Spycraft game, when I watched the earlier seasons.
