Last Thought of 2021

I hope everyone had a good Christmas.  That's all I've got for now.  Take care, everyone.  See you next year! 

Losers from Lakeville, MN.

I haven't done as much as gaming in my life as I would like.  I imagine that is true for most of us.  Life, work, responsibilities...  they all seem to get in the way of the hobby we love.  The one thing I've been thinking about lately are all the adventures that I could have had.  All the adventures I could have run or I could have played in.  

I don't know if it is fortunately or unfortunately that I missed out on playing with some kids who lived near me in Junior High or not...

I was one of those kids who was excluded from a table.  Just the one.  It stung back in the day but I like to think I'm over it now.  Then again, I don't know about that either and, as I am writing about it now, maybe I'm not.  

In 9th grade I brought my Star Frontiers "Starspawn of Volturnus" adventure to school with me one day so I could look at it on breaks or whatever.  It didn't last the day in my possession.  A kid, someone I thought was a friend borrowed it from me in 1st period Science.  I got it back the next day, that wasn't the issue.  I knew that it was probably getting photo-copied at some point upstairs by another kid, I thought was a friend too, whose mother ran the photocopy machine.  I figured they were playing games without me and I was just never cool enough for them.  Fuck those assholes.

I don't exclude anyone from my table.  You'd have to be a first class shit-bag of some kind for me to toss you out on your ear but I can't help but wonder about the fun that could have been had.  I'll never know and I'll just have to deal with it.

On the other hand I think about all of the adventures that I never ran.  All the campaigns I wanted to run but didn't for one reason or another...  wisps of their memory come back to haunt me from time to time and, I hope that one day, I'll be able to run some of them.

I miss gaming and I hope I can find some people near me that I can play with once this f**king pandemic ends.  I like sitting around a table with people, eating pizza or burgers or Chinese food, drinking sodas, and making memories.

That's what those f**kers in junior high lost out on.  The memories that we could have made together.  I'm an awesome f**king human.  ;)

Take care, everyone.

Radio Silence

I think I'm gonna take a break this week...  maybe next week too.  I learned that a friend of mine that I lost touch with and was trying to contact recently passed away from Covid.  He was 76.  R.I.P. Wayne.

Take care everyone...

Excavations Continue

 It feels like slow careful work...  like I'm on an archeological dig the way I'm hardly getting anything produced.  Oh well, it is what it is.
