darchildreGood Things:
- I took a mental health day on Thursday and spent much of the day at the Point No Point beach, aka my favorite place in the world. It was misting but not raining and I brought a waterproof blanket, tea, a sandwich, and some knitting and just sat in the grey outdoors listening to the rain for a few hours. It was incredibly soothing.
- Yesterday, I started a new solo D&D game, wherein I am playing through Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage. This book is, basically, one big huge dungeoncrawl, where each level of the dungeon is designed for a successively higher character level, taking you from level 5 all the way to level 20. I'm playing a level higher than the book recommends and making a few other tweaks so that I can run it for myself with just two characters: I have an aarakocra figher and a kenku alchemist because if you can be birds, why would you not be birds? It's pretty great.
- In other rp news, today my sister, sibling-in-law, and I had session 0 for our Beam Saber campaign! It is not set in the setting we designed with Microscope because our Microscope game turned out too nice and heartwarming to contain a Forever War, so Sean has designed a new setting full of monsters and weird space magic that I'm super excited about. It's going to be very cool.
- Also today, I put flannel sheets and extra blankets on my bed because it is Autumn and it's chilly and I'm so very happy.
- If buying specialist equipment turns an activity into a hobby, I am now a hobbyist breadmaker because I bought myself a pain de mie pan. (I make a lot of bread for sandwiches and am constantly annoyed the the sandwiches in the middle of the loaf are bigger than the ones at the ends. Square bread is the solution!) It should arrive before next baking day, which is great, because I have a new-to-me recipe for Icelandic rye bread that I'm excited to make using it.
- I have convinced my parents to watch One Cut of the Dead with me this evening, which is an entirely delightful Japanese movie I watched last week and immediately fell in love with. If you, like me, have a love for charmingly inept horror movies, you should definitely watch it. Try not to read anything about it first, though - it's more fun if you don't know much about it going in. (For folks who are sensitive about horror: this movie does have zombies but is not scary and all the gore is extremely fake-looking and very goofy.)
