Yes, drown that sorrow!

FINISHED!!!

LARP Con 2018 is concluded, and it was amazing. Running a game for anyone who wants to play, from anywhere, without knowing them... could be stressful. This time it was truly EPIC, amazing bunch of players. But so very tiring!

I shall endeavour to post shortly!

I ran a LARP once to get my free badge for GenCon.  Once.

After that I returned to and stuck with running my small games of Don't Rest Your Head and Nobilis. ;-)

Why I use a bread machine. It either turns out, or bricks. No mistaking one or the other. :)

Sorry for not doing much posting today, had guests most of the day.

offers bowls of chili to everyone (just don't leave your spoon in it to long, it might melt)

The old gallium spoon prank, classic.

What's gallium? My chili tends to be self heating

It's an old chemistry gag.  Gallium is a metal that has a melting point around body temperature.  If you make a spoon out of it, the spoon melts when you stir your coffee.

Yeo chemistry gags, gotta love em.

I know, but I wanted to push the gag.  Gallium and aluminum are not a good mix

And if no one has read Cody's description, the first fart post of the game gives away his maturity level

On a side note, never knew it was gallium for the melting spoon trick but have seen it done.

You put aluminum in your chili?

Gives it that extra zing when it hits the mercury amalgimate fillings in your teeth

I apologize for missing most of the opening weekend. I could make up a flu strain, but to be truthful, what's kept me away has mostly been the Steam sale. :)

I don't know where to jump in...

Check pool depth before jumping. I forgot that rule once, and almost broke my legs...

In reply to Maggie Morris (msg # 107):

You can use the anywhere thread to post anyplace outside of town, just put a descriptor in the subject line.  You can post anywhere inside of town using the Salmon thread, again just add a descriptor for the location.  There is the Bannoc B&B or the Deep Water Motel and even a couple of eating establishments listed so any of those are fine.

High School Band Concert tonight.  Weeee.

Also chili cook off.... Evil laugh evil laugh evil laugh

Chili has been simmering for 3 days now. ;)  added the last batch of chilies this morning.

I can't feel my tongue or the roof of my mouth anymore...

I sympathise, such concerts can be... ear rending. If bad. (Or amazing if good, it is true.)

I grew my own chillis for a while. I have dried husks of face melting death in jars. Before drying, I nibbled one, and got a blister on my tongue. The fumes from slicing them sort of burned my nostrils. I am terrified of ever cooking with them...

There's a store in the nearby town called Puckerbutt that sells stuff made from the Carolina Reaper, which is a hell-forged hybrid of a couple of godawful peppers.  They have a salsa that is just called "I Dare Ya, Stupit."

I myself am very sensitive to capsaicin, and just walking past the store when they are cooking up a batch is sufficient to start my airways closing up.  My son had to wait outside while we were buying gifts for family members who are bugnuts because he started coughing and tearing up just from being in the store.

I like Spicy but that does not need to mean melt your face hot. I want the flavor more than the burn but i don't object to the burn as long as the flavor is there.

now I have a headache from out of tune music. :P

I'll catch everything up in the morning.

I am interested in any feedback or suggestions for the game that anyone may have. I admit to not being an expert at this and I want the game to be fun for everyone.

However don't expect me to respond to every post unless I feel it is needed to move things forward.  I would really like this game to be a roleplay driven game with me providing plot points and potential points of conflict but I am not going to force any player into getting involved.

I'm having a blast so far! Can't wait to cross paths with some of the other player characters, though. I forsee culture shock!

I'm still cycling my brain, so I wanted you to know that it's all on me that I've been so slow. You gave me an interesting plot hook and I just need to work up the strength to write to it!
