aka Blog v4.0
Sometimes I forget to claim all of the items from a Kickstarter pledge.
For example, the soundtrack to Drakar och Demoner/Dragonbane.
Listening to it as I type this, sounds very Epic RPG.
Available pretty much everywhere for purchase or streaming, including Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube.
Pretty cool when they add mood music for a tabletop RPG.
What, you thought I was gonna chronicle everyday that I’m living in an apartment?
The only major thing to report at this point is that a tech came by to try to install broadband internet but for some reason my phone lines(!) are screwed up and they couldn’t hook me up.
So now I’m currently running my phone as a wifi hotspot. Which really isn’t good enough to watch TV, but good enough for web browsing.
So it looks like I’m going to get AT&T fiber (shudder) which I decided to get instead of Xfinity.
Because of scheduling I won’t get hooked up until Monday morning. Ack.
In other news, I brought some of my sports games over and intend to resume play soon.
Also, the shower water pressure kinda sucks.
Something that everyone is frightened of, to some degree.
I’m moving to an apartment.
This is the single biggest change for me, having spent my infancy/childhood/teen/young adult/adult/etc. years in the same house, for my entire life up to now.
It’s a bit scary, yes, but I think I have most of it under some control, at this point.
I have to downsize my stuff, which at first sounded like a lot (it is) but it’s more manageable once I started moving stuff to my offsite storage unit.
Over the course of the next few months or so I’m planning to offload most everything that I’m putting in storage.
Which means donating/trashing or gifting to people.
Which means I might be asking for people’s addresses and shipping off random boxes of stuff out.
Kinda like Loot Crate, I suppose.
I did this maybe 10-15 years ago, and I’m sure some of the stuff I sent off ended up in the trash anyways.
But hey, some of the stuff I need to get rid of may be of some use to someone.
I may start a new blog as a result of all of this, too.
I guess we’ll see.
Oh, hey, a blog entry.

The year’s been relatively the same as the previous year, just stuff happening.

Big thing that I’ve been doing is 3D printing another (updated) Transport Delta.

One thing that I’ve noticed is a shortage of Zero Sugar Pepsi. Maybe I’m imagining it, but I can’t seem to find 20oz bottles of it anywhere.

Is it baseball season yet?

I seem to have lost my tabletop games mojo, even though I want to play stuff, I get stuck in indecisive mode, trying to decide what to play.
The Story So Far:
As with last week, I’m trying to figure out what to do now, with tabletop sports and starting the solo RPG being the top contenders.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, ONE AND ALL!
The Story So Far:
I’m leaning toward some tabletop gaming, either sports or maybe finally trying to start the Mythic Game Master Emulator test run.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL Y’ALL!
… another blog.
Two straight days of playing tabletop sports games (Red White & Blue Racin’ and Ball Park Baseball), I would love this to continue.
We’ll see.

Let the record show that I made it almost 14 months between visits to McDonalds for breakfast.
I was lazy this morning, and impatient (didn’t want to wait in line for a bagel).
I felt kinda gross after I ate there.
Here’s hoping it’s a longer time until my next visit.

This is the longest I’ve sat and watched the Daytona 500 in a while.

My promotion to my current position at work has changed the way I look at a lot of things, and I’m not sure why.
I feel like a grown-up.
It’s weird, but that’s just how I feel.

Maybe it’s because I turn 56 this week.
Pretty sure I failed on three of my resolutions this year, specifically taking a picture every day and posting it (Project 365 2022), playing a tabletop sports game every day, and playing a tabletop wargame every weekend.
Those may have been the only three I had made, other than ‘get healthier’.
Ah well.
Why did it take me so long to look up how to armor a bear and finally discovering ‘barding’?

My list of goals while playing role-playing games should include “Do Something Awesome”.
In our last session, we were fighting some big creatures, and my character’s turn came along, and another player said something like, “C’mon Chris, do something awesome!”
A few die rolls later and I brought down one of the creatures to a sliver of health on his hit points bar. Another character finished off the creature.
So yeah, paladin smites are awesome.
When they hit.

Otter race?!?!?
