Games Day

We actually got through 4 different games today.

  • Sentinels of the Multiverse: two games played, the first was Mr. Fixer, Chrono Ranger, Legacy, Tempest, and Unity versus The Matriarch in Megalopolis.  So many birds.  So little hit points.  We ended that game before the end since one hero was down, 3 were almost down, and the last was invulnerable. So we tried again, using a randomizer app, we had Legacy, Absolute Zero, The Wraith, Fanatic, and Expatriette versus GloomWeaver in Pike Industrial Complex. This time we were more successful, defeating the villain before we took any major damage.
  • Get Bit!: one game played, quick and fun, I think the white robot made it to shore, escaping the shark.
  • Room 25: one game played, the players managed to escape the maze before time ran out.
  • Eight-Minute Empire: two games played, blue empire won the first, red empire won the second.

Overall, it was a fun day.  Of the 4 games, Room 25 seemed the weakest of the bunch.  I think playing with a couple of variant rules would help that game.  Eight-Minute Empires felt like Risk-light or a simple table top version of the Civilization PC game.  Get Bit! was quick and funny.  And Sentinels of the Multiverse just got another convert.


Trek Hoodie

Since I tend to wear hoodies more often (hoodies are cool), I decided that I wanted a Star Trek-themed one.

I looked online and couldn’t find a good uniform-styled one that I liked.  I thought to myself that I would love to have one like the one I had back in freshman year high school, but maybe without all the buttons that I stuck on it.

And that’s when I realized that I had made that hoodie by sewing an Enterprise science division insignia on a plain blue hoodie. And I realized that I should just do that again.

I logged onto eBay and found both items that I needed, all told it cost me about $32 with shipping.

Both arrived earlier this week, and once I got home with them, I went to work.  Last time I did any sewing was about 3 years ago when I was making my Mandalorian costume.

After poking myself with a needle for about 30 minutes, I was done.

Voila:

trekhoodieI need to find a picture of me in high school wearing the original that I had sewn.
