Jobs are for suckers

[pyat]

So far, quitting my job remains the smartest thing I've done all year. It is amazing how much time I have for friends and family. My insomnia is gone. I've lost weight. My mood is vastly improved. The house is much cleaner.

And, today I got to hang out with catsarah and sassy_fae in a relatively leisurely fashion! And we got a free lunch, cause it took more than 15 minutes.


This evening, wggthegnoll and ruiskafleck came over to supper and Warhammer. Fondue was made. Children were cute. Elizabeth wrote two original songs that she played for us on the piano. Seriously, she scored them and wrote lyrics and everything.


Warhammer went well, and I ran through my first epic battle of the game. The players are aboard an Elven merchant carrack. wggthegnoll is running an elven noble, transformed into a horrible monster by Chaos magic, and ruiskafleck and velvetpage are playing his wife (a wizard) and sister (a mercenary) respectively. They are seeking a cure, while hiding his transformation from the crew. Check my new battle mat, and hastily drawn deckplans!


In tonight's game, there was much spying and politicking and RP... and then the ship was attacked by a galley of Norsca raiders.

These are essentially Vikings as depicted on the cover of a Death Metal album, led by a horned and winged mutant. They're represented here by 1:72 scale Pictish warriors. Though I should totally pick up some Vikings before Hamilton Hobby closes forever.


The final score - Death Metal Vikings: 7, Players: 12

Or in other words I had much fun!

Excellent! I'm sure there will be much more arm severing in the future. :)

To be honest I didn't think I was going to win that fight. I got lucky around the end with some consistently good dice rolls.

I didn't think you would either! I was expecting you to have to retreat to the ship, or I was going to have the Baddie fly away when he saw his crew was dead.
