avramThe notable thing probably isn’t that I finally (after about a year and a half since the last session) ran the Wander Angels campaign for the third time, but that the session ended with the monster undefeated, and a plot thread therefore ready for the next session, and that session already scheduled for November.
(And boy, how it was undefeated! After handing them fairly easy successes last session, I set the PCs up against something that could swat them aside without working up a sweat; just their luck it wasn’t interested in killing them.)
I made the mistake of ending the session by handing out a Major Clue to a mystery plot thread without having really made them earn it. Now that thread might peak too early; I’ll need to come up with some delaying tactics.
And it might not hurt to bring in a fourth player; I’ll have to think about that. On the other hand, we were short of table space as it was.

kent_allard_jr left around 6, and drcpunk and mnemex hung around for a bit and then we went into Manhattan to hang out with Beth and get pastries at Veniero’s and browse through book and comic stores. I picked up a couple of old issues of Mangazine for a buck each at St. Marks Comics. Having read one today, I’m glad I didn’t pay more.
Today I stopped in for the first time at Hudson County Art Supply, which just opened a couple of weeks back. (No web link; Google’s never heard of the place.) They carry Golden acrylics, which is my brand, and some good, cheap, gallery-edge canvases from France. (The kind with the staples on the back, instead of the sides.) All I bought that time was a fine-point marker for 80¢, but they’ll probably get more business from me eventually. I’ve been thinking I should paint more.
I did a bit of sketching at Ground, and James whupped me in chess again, despite my not falling for his Danish gambit opening and my developing a good attack position early on. I need to work on my pawn game, and on pressing the advantage when I’ve got it. Wouldn’t hurt to use my rooks more either.
