The Base of Operations
May. 10th, 2016 08:09 amOaks Day was, indeed, reading day. I finished a Goodreads giveaway, Eirelan, and reread parts of Edge of the Empire. We closed up SPHIS around 2PM and I headed back to Cannons Lane and knocked out a batch of WoW quests.
Derby Day! Which was also Free Comic Book Day. A number of local shops had sales, and I picked up a couple of FFG Star Wars supplements. Shadow came over for a bit, and after she left, I rounded up some of the cohort and we went out for drinks. Threats of rain and storms kept me from staying out too late.
Slur Your Role was good. The DL Noir game had a full table, and we mostly gelled as a player group, with a good GM. While I definitely had a good time, I also determined that I'm not likely to get any further use out of the DL Noir books, so they're going to the HPB pile.
The next book was Station Eleven, by Emily St. John Mandel. It is damned good. Post-apoc (flu pandemic), with jumps forward and backward in time to build its narrative. Beautiful writing, just great craft in this one.
