So yesterday,
That left us deciding what to do for the afternoon. I told the three of them that if they wanted me to, I could start running the Desolation game that I was planning out myself, and so they wanted to do that. So we started in on character creation, since
We wrapped up the day with several samples of combat to get them into the feel of the game in that manner, and it went rather well.
As I said, it was a bit stressful for me, as I wasn't really ready to run the game, and was thrown into it by pure happenstance and all. I would have been content playing some Ticket To Ride or some such for the afternoon, but democracy rules and all that, so I went with the majority. Still, I had a pretty good afternoon of it, when all was said and done.
However, maybe I'll convince them all to play a game or three of Ticket To Ride next weekend, and give myself another week to prepare to run Desolation the first week of August. Fortunately, I got to relax last night over a dinner of stir fried veggies and some ragout with brown rice. Wrapped up the evening watching a bit of tv and then a DVD or so.
