To All My Friends Of A Non-Religious Leaning: Happy Undead Jesus Day!
To All My Friends Of Various Religious Faiths: Happy Whatever Day!
All you religious folks need to standardize yer holidays, so as to make things easier on us heathens.
Today at Chez Cross there will be relaxing, house cleaning, gardening, smooching, making of lasagna, dog walking, cooking of lasagna, more relaxing, eating of lasagna, tax doing, dish washing, laundry doing and other fun stuff. Not necessarily in that order.
I’ve downloaded and am checking out Microlite20 and it’s looking pretty sweet. It’s d20, gutted and stripped to the bare bones. It is just possible I may use it in the near future. It looks like it would be the way to go for a d20 hater like myself:)
So…next weekend is Conquest Sac, the only local game con. Problem is, the con last year was pretty fuckin’ lame. I went on Friday night for a few hours, then again on Saturday for about 2 hours, then said “fuck it”. There just wasn’t all that much going on for a non-wargamer.
Anyway, this year, I’ll stop by on Friday night and check it out. If I like what I see, I’ll buy a badge for Saturday. Sunday is the day my regular gaming group (the one I GM for) gets together to play boardgames and decide what our next RPG series will be.
Speaking of the next series for my gaming group, I have it narrowed down to a Pulp Era series that focuses on stopping the fiendish machinations of a single evil villain…or, a modern era “treasure hunt” for the parts of a mysterious device…or, a low magic fantasy setting in which the players are all thieves out to get rich. I have no idea which one they’ll pick, altho betting on the fantasy series is probably smart.
And now, I’m off to do stuff.

Religion, like many things, started out as a good idea.
But eventually, it outlived its usage. And like all things that do so, it responded with hostility.
