Dying Earth RPG

Last night was Games-Club-In-Exile at Stephen Tihor’s new place; Beth and I taught Fred how to play Light Speed, and I didn’t join in the games of Elixer and Puerto Rico that started up.

Today some of us went back to Stephen’s to try out the Dying Earth RPG. All the bits we thought would be annoying turned out to be annoying. I think it would have gone much better if we’d played with the optional rule that forbids rerolling ones and sixes. The sample scenario is delightful, with one or two minor problems that could have been fixed by a good editor.

Been a while since I posted sketches, hasn’t it?

Body for Life, first day

Today is the first day back in a gym since last November, day one of my free tryout at Gold Coast, runs through Friday.

My arms feel about as exhausted after this 50-minutes workout as they used to after the full three-hour Hot Point workout I was doing last August. (Hot Point covered my whole body, and included some cardio.)
