It amuses me that I barely remember anything from when I read this. A window into how my mind (doesn't) work.
I really gotta start taking better notes when I read.

Okay I rolled credits on Pokemon Z-A and...
Fun game that absolutely feels like amateur work. I think many have already said this. Dogwater story, with no VO and minimal animations. Problems come out of nowhere, stakes are established right before they are resolved, the battles are fun but chaos.

I hope their whole coalition crashes and burns.

Overall it was stressful, in the usual GMing ways. I enjoy the Cosmere RPG, for the love of Brandon Sanderson. Hopefully I can get to some of the fun stuff I have planned, for either group. Especially if the game lasts long enough for the Mistborn books to launch. Stormlight Archive if fine for now.

Group B on my homebrew. They had to meet with their Veden Highprince, and convince him to make a deal with the Bavlands. After, they almost got poisoned by an assassin, and are now trying to investigate the assassin while doing their duties in the Princedom.
No one died, so mission accomplished.

Cosmere RPG Day! (after a few weeks off)
Group A doing Stonewalkers adventure. They managed to sneak into the Kholin Warcamp monastery to meet Taln. Which shouldn't have been too hard, but they managed to botch the easy rolls and ace the hard ones.
The party sneak got questioned by Amaram, was fun

Nope, don't like that.

I choose Pleiades, get more Guardian players out there!

There we go, bam. I used Canvas of Kings to make the map. Still learning it, but this was me on day one of figuring it out so I'm satisfied.

Map making time. Making a castle for Cosmere rpg campaign. I figure this castle shelters the castle town from the Highstorms, so it sits on the East end of a high hill. Two layer castle work a castle town and then the main keep. Blah blah.
I'll try to make it using a mapping program later today.

I really shouldn't have played my first campaign as Dust Lords, this is going to teach me bad habits. Getting to ignore food for a whole campaign does something to your brain chemistry.
Anyway, Endless legend 2 is a blast, can't wait to see who makes it in as the next early access civ.

I hope we eventually get an Ice Necromancer. For some reason the idea of being able to mix ice cards with pulling monsters out of the ice, it just goes together in my head. Something like this, though these are probably either unplayable/busted.

I'm kind of the worst at remembering to take pictures. Here goes day 3 of #paxwest! The game No stone unturned looks hilarious, and Arcane Eats looks like a fun roguelike deck builder.

Yesterday was a chaotic day at #paxwest, so this is my only picture. A few from a rest area in the summit, down to the waterfront. We went to the Final Fantasy Tactics panel after this, it was funny!

I'm over here trying to piece together everything about Vorinism that I can to write this campaign. Phew. It is realistic how fractured and thrown together religion is on Roshar, but it still makes it a headache for me to present it to my #cosmere players, lol.

We finished the Bridge Nine adventure for #Cosmererpg. Now I have 2 (maybe 3) players taking Radiant paths for their level two, and need to think up an adventure for the next leg of their journey. I think they will be heading to Alethkar, at least for now.

I was driving and got in my head a creature called a milk monster. So I wanted to draw it so it would go away. Here it is. The throat inflates out like a frog.
