…said the Sweet Angel to the Old Scoundrel
Yesterday, Grace and I went up to Marysville and took my mom out to lunch. It was a belated Mothers Day present for Mom, since she was gone on a gambling (and winning) trip with my aunt & uncle last weekend. We had a nice lunch and a fun chat, then headed home.
Bought some more tomato plants yesterday and planted them and the rest of my bush beans. The veggie garden so far is bush beans, pole beans, tomatos and squash. Chiles will be bought and planted this week, you betcha. Melons and zuchinni will go in the ground next weekend. Herbs are growing merrily and I forsee much pesto sauce in our future. Strawberries are producing a few small berries, but they are really sweet.
Work on both the Pro Writing Project Outlines and the Kingdom Building Game 2.0 are both coming along nicely. My hope is to have the KBG up and running again by mid July. The main holdup is that I’m waiting to see if Campaign Cartographer 3 comes out by about late June. If it doesn’t, I’ll start the KBG in early July.
I’m pretty darned impressed by the True20 corebook. The rules are pretty sweet, altho it will come as no surprise that a hardcore minimalist like me finds it to have too many rules for my taste. Still, for most folks who like a lighter rules set, it would be a really good choice. I haven’t really read the Blue Rose books yet, since Grace has spirited them away for her own reading pleasure.
By the way, I am looking for a few new players in the Kingdom Building Game…well, actually, it’s more of a Village Building/Local Exploration Game now. I reckon I could handle 3 or 4 more players, since this part of the game is going to be a lot simpler and less intense than the first part was.
And now, I must get ready for visitors and some possible boardgaming. More blog-o-rama later.
