Enjoying a distinctly Eastern European cuppa
The corner of a brown wood desk, with a large orange mug with colorful striped accents. Seated next to it is a grey/cream colored package of tea, from Renegade Tea of Georgia (the republic of). The name of the blend is "Gaba Yaga".

Mood
A gilded guillotine sits in the middle of a room with a zig-zag tile floor. A basket with a bewigged skull lies in front of it. Art and swivel chairs can be seen in the background.

We went to Scarecrow Video, hunting a movie only available on VHS. So we also rented a VCR with HDMI converter.

Hooked it up to my fancy 4K TV, and I'm all

tiger v. panther
The back of a couch, with a window behind it showing a big leafy bush. On the left, a pillow with a stylized tiger design, oriented toward the center. On the right, a handsome young solid black house cat, tail arched, facing center, making a dyptich of sorts.

Enjoying spider season in Seattle
Slightly out of focus close-up of an orb weaver in her web. The spider in the center is bunched up and looking particularly eldrich. The sun is coming from nearly behind her so the visible legs are translucent and glowing. The bokeh from the out of focus background looks like glowing pearls in the web.

Ready to begin a voyage to the edges of madness…
The extremely baroque facade of the Hollywood Theater in Portland, OR. The marquee reads "H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival & Cthulhucon"

Sometimes you open up a game box and see something you don't expect!
A large game box filled with smaller tuck boxes. One has been taken out and slid open, and inside is a card with a picture of Torquemada on it.

The daggers were heartening. The big question about "does a PbtA-like action economy work with D&D-style roll to-hit and damage" is yes, quite nicely!

The Sablewood Messengers most nobly did the thing.

Day two of #GoPlayNW started with a mini-Matilda Simonsson-fest with _Turncoats_ & _Pex Penning_. Then on to a very successful run of _The Troubleshooters_ where I was far to busy to to take a photo. Now trying _Lancer_…

Strange doings at Seattle Center
Dusk, a large crowd of people on the grounds of Seattle Center are watching six huge hot air balloons that are anchored to the ground and inflated. One is yellow and red squares, another blue and white, and several are multicolor stripes. The balloons glow with the light of their heater flames against the dark sky!
