#RPGNight at @rbccvt.org went well tonight - despite me being nervous a new #D&D group is going to bleed away more of my attendees - with a #StarTrekAdventures #ttrpg continuing Season 2's theme of the Romulan espionage threat, interleaved with yet more tachyonic temporal anomalies.

Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Boring. Let's make Christmas a Die Hard movie.
The shepherds turn out to be assassins who take the Holy Family hostage, with the intention of using Jesus as bait to rob the Three Kings. Barefoot ex-cop Joseph teams up with a wisecracking angel to save the day.

Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden).

In tonight's #TheOneRing #ttrpg in the final adventure, we are still struggling to find the vault opened by the key we have spent the whole campaign finding and reforging, but multiple factions are aligning to horn in on whatever we'll find there if we do find it. Our best lead so far is...Orodruin.

37 years ago we started out together too poor to buy nice #Christmas ornaments, so we started a tradition: one nice new ornament a year, and someday, the whole tree would be beautiful, unique ornaments, each one a memory of our lives together. Here are this year's, both from our #NewMexico trip:

I had an idea for a #StarTrekAdventures #ttrpg adventure that actually turned out to be a great episode but a bad adventure: not enough for the players to do. So I wrote it up as Short Treks short story. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Now added to Narvi (bitbucket.org/HawthornThis...): #StarTrekAdventures dice rolling. Use /sta to roll the dice by command line, or create a game and set it to STA system, then /go brings up an interactive panel to do everything with clicks. I know about Majel, but this has big bold dice images.

Pretty awesome end to the #StarTrekAdventures #ttrpg on #RPGNight at @rbccvt.org tonight - my players channeled Jeffrey Sinclair and negotiated their way out of a mess letting both the Takarans and Romulans feel like they'd won. Then I jumped them four years and blamed them for Balance of Terror. :)

My fantasy novella _Six Spears of the Haebinnor_ will be free on Kindle for five days starting tomorrow - and it's free all the time on Kindle Unlimited. (Sales revenue to go @rbccvt.org otherwise.) It's a story about hope, and how it can be used as a weapon by both good and evil. a.co/d/bz1kYfc

Put together a portfolio and sent it in to Free League in hopes of maybe writing for _The One Ring_, after being encouraged by a few of TOR's current writers to try to 'break in'. If I get a gig, the money will go to @rbccvt.org - this is for fun, not money. www.clippings.me/freesia

I'm getting very fast through _Nature of Middle-earth_ because it is astonishing how much is JRRT without spreadsheet software, doing agonizingly lengthy calculations, trying (and failing) to rationalize Elf aging and the timeline. Which I'm mostly skipping. Never thought of him as a math nerd.

Thought I was doing better in #AlienIsolation for a bit - got past like five different sneak challenges escaping the Seegson comms area, only to get stymied by another. Am I having fun or feeling obliged to keep trying? Let's see how I feel tomorrow. Maybe I'll think of another approach. Or not.

Alien: Isolation has really nailed the tone and visuals, but the gameplay is frustrating. 90% pixelbitching, limited save spots, and bad UI design. Just died because being choked made the indicator of what key means "fight back" get blurred. Thrown back to a half hour of gameplay earlier.

Halloween Horror at Hadley's Hope: Tonight's #Alien #ttrpg one-shot was hard to corral, with the players going off-topic a lot, but we squeezed out a rushed but intense finale, in which a facehugger was one-shot spatchcocked, then the three survivors promptly killed one another for hidden agendas.

That is a very painfully timely question, Duolingo, and very hard to answer.

#RPGNight at @rbccvt.org is on Fridays; this week's falls on Halloween. I figured we'd have to cancel, but a few people want to have a scary game. So... I finally have permission to run a cinematic #Alien one-shot for them. They want horror... they're gonna get horror in spades.

My #RPGNight #ttrpg group at @rbccvt.org is doing #StarTrekAdventures featuring the story of the U.S.S. Challenger in the early 2260s. So at #CraftClub for a few months I've been building the #model, and I finally finished it today, with a custom decal for the name.

Today at #CraftClub at @rbccvt.org I did the final painting and assembly of the U.S.S. Challenger, the ship from our #StarTrekAdventures #ttrpg at #RPGNight. In two weeks, I will be doing decals, including a custom decal for the name, and finally finishing this project months in the making.

#StarWars #OpenTable #ttrpg - my character Lingon is not getting many chances to do anything. Basic mismatch, the adventure is nearly all combat and so far entirely set on a ship, and she's a street urchin sneaky scrounger. Worse yet this is a one-shot. Maybe I should make a new character?

#TheOneRing #ttrpg - We make for a hidden entrance high atop Silvertine into Moria to find a forge hot enough to reforge the lost mithril key. For one night, we rest in the First Hall, which Balin has recently claimed; but under Elbereth's light, we see a legion of orcs marching on the East Gate...
