Man, that weather is bad. It's a kind of sneaky cold that gets right inside, and stays there. I've been inside for two hours since the trip to work, there's a heater going full blast not two metres from me, and I'm still freezing - my hands are numb. There must be something wrong with the weather this year, I normally stride around in a t-shirt in 4 degrees and still have warm hands. Not enough meditation, perhaps.
So it was a busy weekend. On Friday evening, we had the penultimate game of Spellbound. It came out that just about the only way forward was for Ki (a deity, and one the PCs were rather fond of, one of them being his father/High Priest/Proxy) to well, sacrifice himself. So things were unhappy there, and all three players were crying, and I was trying not to.
Saturday afternoon and into evening, we had the first meeting of a pagan circle, which was very successful, and I'm looking forward to the first working meeting. I'm going to be "doing homework" in the form of essay writing, which should provoke me into reading some more of those books I keep meaning to read.
And then late on Saturday evening, Nina/Urda came up with a way out of Ki's sacrifice, by using the enemies' resources against them, in time for the last game of Spellbound on Sunday afternoon. So, thanks once again to to Urda's brilliance, the campaign had a happy ending, and everything is set up for the sequel - Spellbound : Major Arcana. It's the end of an era, three years after we started the campaign - but not an End, if you see what I mean. I really liked how it finished up, with plot threads all tied away neatly, and everybody happy.
My head is buzzingwith stuff for MA, and I'm really enjoying planning for it. And work is less hectic now for a bit, so I can actually take the time to think, and plot, and write stuff down.
