Unboxing space spruced up with a new desk and separate PC and my office area cleaned and tarted up also. Now I can make a proper mess in a fresh environment. 😅

To my lovely wife,

Using Find My iPhone to alert me when I haven’t responded to a non-urgent text within 2.5 seconds, is a clear violation of the terms of service I believe, and I will be forced to contact the Genius Bar authorities should it continue.

Much love,
Me

Well, it looks like it was shipped here in the landing gear well of a UPS plane, but after 2 years and 9 months, Yoon-Suin 2e has arrived. An unprofessional unboxing coming soon. 🤘🏻

My Dad: Why do you have a University of North Texas mug? You didn’t go there.

Down a few players tonight, so of course we focused on carousing at the Temple of Bacchus. 🍷 Naturally, I woke up in a prison cell, possessions gone, and my spellbook impounded. Now we’ve got to call in a favor from the Chiopolis Shepherds Guild Master to get it back.

Just another day in Thracia.😅

Chatting last night about supers RPGs and this one came up. It had a short run, but the rules were really well liked. Found a copy for $14, so I’m going to check it out.

From the original script:

Engywook: The gate to the Oracle is guarded by two sphinxes, but know you must be pure of heart to pass.

Cut to Atreyu walking beneath the sphinxes.

Atreyu (thinking): Wow… those are some serious door knockers for a gate…

Well of course since a Neverending Story watch party was suggested last night, I naturally wake up with the song stuck in my head. 😅

😅 My point is that while old Call of Cthulhu scenarios often show a decent amount of research, using them as the bedrock for historical authenticity is a bit like me insisting my high school report on Braveheart qualifies as peer reviewed history. 😅

I mean Games Workshop were such bastions of historical accuracy. Such as putting the Scottish Highlands in Essex and putting Penmire in Cornwall in, well, the Scottish Highlands, as well as many other “accurate” notations on this map. 😅 This muppet can get bent.
