Little Lady
Mom took Owen for the day, Carrie went shopping, and I had Paige. We did some shopping and went to Wendy's for lunch. Fairly prosaic but it was good to have some time, just the two of us.

D&D History
Just noticed that under the product descriptions for the D&D pdfs, each has a fairly detailed product history. Fantastic.

Dream Games
Had a dream last night that Sage LaTorra, Adam Koebel, and Kazunari Maeda ran Emily DeLisle and I through a Ghost Lines-like Dungeon World game. We wandered around outside a bunch while we played so of course we had to write our character sheets on our faces.

Scoutbooks
Digging the shit out of the Scoutbook format the DW extras are printed on. Perfect for, hypothetically, slipping into one's back pocket to unobtrusively read in the bathroom at work. Also hits on a small format kick I've been on for a while.

Flament!
We got the house refinanced on Friday. The new lower rate is going to
result in enough of a monthly difference to almost pay half of a car
payment.
Speaking of cars, I sold the red truck. Got less than I had settled on originally, but I call it a win since when the guy came to pick it up he had some trouble starting it and still drove off with it.
Julie and the kids came into town this weekend for the balloon rally. The rally was ok, but mostly made everyone just want to go up to Albuquerque for the big one.
And I ran the first session of Lamentations of the Flame Princess. I'll assume there was much and more lamenting going on by Ben and Amy, likely directed at wondering why they had agreed to play this lousy system. There were little to no flames or princesses. The characters had been dispatched to a crummy swamp town to bring back or find out what had happened to a merchant who had been dispatched there. I tried to work in random tables a bunch and it seemed to work ok. I did have some confusing moments trying to deal with a system that is not directly designed (and only kind of modded) for the type of play encouraged. There were some generally unexpected and cool moments (both the characters getting mind whammied and almost murdered by a wacky cultist, Ben almost killing one of their friends/henchmen while trying to save the guy) though, and I'm planning on at least six sessions. Need to do a recap write-up, to allay some of the inevitable, "what happened last time?"
