Dining in Hell Postponed Indefinitely

Last night was scheduled as the night we would finally get to start our PDQ Argonauts mini-campaign via Skype, but when the time came, Rich and I were the only ones online. Daniel had to work late and Norwood continues to fly completely under the radar, at least in terms of replying to any of Rich’s or my attempts to contact him (which has me a bit worried, frankly, but that’s not the point here and now).

Bottom line, we didn’t play. Rich and I DID have an awesome hour-long chat just shooting the breeze about all kinds of life stuff, and I got to talk to his kiddo and that was lots of fun because the Mini-Orklord is way cool. But alas, no roleplaying. And thus the PDQ Argonauts game gets shelved indefinitely so that we can move on to other things that we’re scheduled to play.

Next up: April is Primetime Adventures month with guest-players David and Erin Moore, and although we’re not going to flesh out details until our actual pitch session, we’ve tossed some preliminary emails around and it looks like we’re all leaning toward some sort of space-opera sci-fi series. Whatever we end up pitching, it’s going to be a mix of one of my favorite games with several of my favorite players, so April is gonna rock. I’ll certainly share more as it develops on that front.

In May, we’re scheduled to play Burning Wheel with guest-GM Ogre Whiteside. I’m excited about this because BW is one of those cool rpgs that I own and have read and have heard a lot of good things about how it plays, but I haven’t actually played. So I’m psyched about that. And I’m looking forward to playing with Ogre because he’s just cool.

Of course, I’m also scheduled to run the Gutter Skypes through a Spirit of the Century session tonight. I’ve looked over their characters and there is some fun stuff cooking in my brain, but the hitch is, WildLion is practically hacking up a lung, it’s taken me nearly two hours just to get to this point in this post, I’m frazzled, and at this point running a game tonight is about the last thing on my mind. I so don’t wanna let those guys down, but holey moley all I can really focus on right now is kid phlegm and thermometers and Motrin and Mucinex.

In fact, he just woke up from a mini-doze with another coughing fit. Poor dude. We’re not used to him being like this – he NEVER gets sick enough to slow him down. I may be overblowing it but I see an Urgent Care visit looming.
