Tea Parties With Satyrs

Days Walking - 71

It got up to 2° F with the wind chill and 18° without! Yee Haw! I'm so happy about the temperature, you just can't know.

Kato - You? A DM? I never would have guessed! ;o) Nope, no snow dice have been crafted yet - we're making do with the plastic kind. We only have one set to go around, so the whole 'this is my super D20' BS is lacking, and I don't miss that. There's very little dice rolling, it's heavily about role-playing, laughing, and joking around, which is how I prefer my RPG's.

I do miss the munchies factor of typical, at home rpg-ing. The chips and soda and popcorn and whatnot. Trail mix is no kinda substitute for Scoops and Guacamole!

Janine - You wondered about the plotline of our Harry Potter RPG. As I mentioned yesterday, He Who Must Not Be Named and his minions are still out and about, so it's a dangerous time. A lot of wicked deeds are going down, and the magical authorities are busy. This means that a lot of the smaller mysteries are going uninvestigated by the official types.

A number of magical creatures have been found completely drained of their energies in the Forbidden Forest, and this has begun to escalate to humans. Two First Year students have been found in a coma after all of their magic has been drained away (Mugglified). Everyone is under curfew and living in fear and Charlotte (my character) and her homies are trying to solve the mystery.

By the by, anyone who has not read the Harry Potter books really should give them a try. They're very well written, and can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. They have a classic quality to them, like the Narnia books, but without all the tea parties with satyrs.

Paul - You're one on-the-ball marketer. Kudos, you crazy Kato.

I'm pleased and puzzled to report that no one is currently ill or suffering from any sort of malady. Clearly they are all Replicants sent by Emperor Fabulous to spy on my every move.

That, or this is the calm before a medical emergency storm. They'll name it and everything...

"Hurricane Kali bore down on the POL group without warning today, resulting in loss of limbs, noses, and one left ear. But whose?"

...Tune in at 11.

I've had an aversion towards Harry Potter. For god knows why. Maybe because of all the hype.

But since you recommend the books, I promise I'll give 'em a chance.
