wolf_in_exile kindly ran a Shadowrun game for downwood, katie_preston, thestormcellar, katelennon, and me. Yes, Kate actually gamed with us and did very well for her first time with the dice. During the next GCC outing, we're going to go get her a pretty set of brand new dice.
I'm going to have to get the Shadowrun book now, so that I can actually create my ninja in a way that makes some freaking sense (pregen characters are teh suck). But it was a whole lot of fun and kept me up late enough that being out of my Happy Pills didn't hurt too much.
This evening, Downwood and I got to have dinner with a mentor couple from our church. They had us fill out a profile thingy that went through all the different topics that we really should be talking about: faith, money, kids, expectations, sex, hopes, dreams, reality, etc. We got in the car and started talking about some of the things we'd been avoiding. It was kind of nice.
Tonight, Downwood got to do something he'd never done before: finish a game on his Xbox. Yes, we finally beat D&D Heroes. And by "finally beat" I mean, "laid a smackdown on the Wizard Kaedin the likes of which has never been seen". Yes, Bob the Fighter, he of the 43 Str and 11 Cha came into his own during that fight. *sniff* I'm so proud of him. And Downwood's cleric was instrumental in keeping Bob alive.
Yes, we're gaming geeks. If you hadn't figured that out yet, I weep for your deductive reasoning skills.
And now, I'm going to wrap up a bit of writing I've been working on for the last couple days, rescue the clothes from the dryer, and get some good sleep in preparation for dealing with my customers and coworkers on the morrow. It's been a Very Good Weekend.
