Award Time

Tim MaidmentLeave a comment

I recently got nominated for a Liebster Award, which is sort of a pay it forward award doing the rounds. I’ll do a proper response to it, probably later today/tomorrow, but just wanted to thank swtswtsue of My Bipolar Adventures for her nomination now, while I still have my brains plugged in.

I did shuffle the idea back and forward about whether to take part, but then realised that it’s a good way to promote some of the excellent blogs I’ve stumbled across and an excuse to witter about myself a bit more, but in a more structured way.

Last Week’s Session

I’ve found myself chuckling slightly while writing last week’s Roll20 session up this evening. I’d forgotten how much fun it was, and how much laughter and panic managed to manifest in such a short period of time. It’s things like that which just make the whole experience so appealing.

I’ve said it many times: I’ve always loved the social element of tabletop gaming, and Roll20 does a good job of enabling much of the same experience. It’s not perfect, and more than one player has wistfully called for our all getting round a physical table, but still, it’s a damn good substitute for gathering a geographically diverse bunch of geeks together on a regular basis.

So, those of you keeping up with our group’s misadventures, it’s all online in the Week Fourteen write-up. For the rest of you: it’s been a long and busy day, but it’s been nicely rounded off by Lady P giving us a sneak peek at what she’s wearing to an old schoolmate’s wedding tomorrow. Very pretty. The dress is rather lovely too.
