August 2009 Highlights

Finally got a chance to sit down and post! I've been busy getting Crooked Pin up and running and getting ready for grad school. So here goes:

Highlights:

-Roleplaying with Chris as my older brother, Lou McSweeny. Especially when he bound my husband to the ground with roots for spanking me playfully in public.
-Reuniting with my darling Cyric after he was attacked by drow.  (Post-danger kisses are the best kisses!)
-Fighting zombies in pajama pants and a sports bra with my silver (thanks to Hammish's spell) claymore. HOT.
-Market Faire! I got lots of orders and showed my work off to lots of potential customers!
-NPCing as a mook of the Highland Queen, whose greatest dream in life was to own a pig named Wilbur.
"Ok, you can have a pig."
"A pig named Wilber?"
"Yes, a pig named Wilbur."
-NPCing as goblins and having waaaaay too much fun with it.
"I want my baby back baby back baby back..."
"RIBS!"
-More goblin fun, when we mistook Adam in his armor for a delicious roast pig.  Josh's "Enough of your bacon lies, pig!" made my weekend.
(Come to think of it, the word of the weekend seemed to be "pig.")
-The SHINY TURTLE MAN! And our shiny bowl hats, of course.

Lowlights:
I took a beating this game. Namely:
-Fighting a mud puddle. Ok, so I won, but a rock took a chunk out of my hand, which made fighting zombies later that evening difficult. But I toughed it out!
-It's been done to death, but the heat, humidity, and mosquitoes sucked, especially at night.
-Poison ivy, which actually didn't show up in full force until Monday. This is my first time getting it, and apparently I react to it pretty badly because IT'S STILL HERE.

I'll be NPCing the next couple of games, but I'll still be setting up at Market Faire, with even more goodies!  See you soon!

The goblin thing was an experience I was glad to share with you guys.
