Yes, phase one of my getting back into running a regular role playing game has been completed. The group will comeback for more and maybe even complete the journey. I had a wonderful time. My dice rolling was poor, but that helped the group survive for one more day. This has been a nice weekend.

Game night 1 of this weekend is finished. Played a couple of fun games, had some fun food (brownies are always good), and fun/good friends. We played/talked well into the early morning.

It has been a while since the last camp post, so why don’t I just wrap it up in one post? Since we’re talking two days, I have a lot of photos this time. The highlights of course were the games and instructionals. But before we get to those, the themes for the last two

Sing with me… “Friday night I crashed your party, Saturday I said I’m sorry…” Okay, so I was actually invited but then the song doesn’t quite fit. Oh well. Anyway, this story starts before Friday, actually earlier this week. I was given advice to see what represented a 10th wedding anniversary. So I did a

The last day or so has been a bit busy. Part of it was me wasting time on Hamsterball, a clone of the 80’s hit arcade game Marble Madness, and part was preparations for church this weekend. I have been wasting a lot of time on Hamsterball. Those who remember Marble Madness will remember that
