Tonight was the first session of our co-op/solo game, in which we come together for co-op sessions, then venture off on solo treks which we chronicle in a wiki.

And it was pretty damned cool. We came up with some great quests for our individual characters. I can't wait to see where they take us.

Decided to take an exercise break today, 'cause the last few days kicked my butt.

@nukehavoc@dice.camp avatar

No exercise this weekend, but I got moving again yesterday with a 4-mile run (which kicked my butt somewhat less than the prior run).

All told I walked/ran 9.9 miles, which is better than my goal of 8 miles a day. Today I walked to work, and will hopefully get in another run/jog this afternoon.

Successfully got in the run; totally of 10.6 miles yesterday. Today I’ve got a lot of mtgs, so we’ll see what happens.

Ok, it's late but ... maybe I can squeeze in a movie that is big, but not dumb: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Or at least the first part of it.

The Helm of Positivity came into play during tonight's game, in which the paladin Valinor summoned a wall of radiance.

And damn, is that thing bright or what?

The shadows I'd planned to ambush the party with were forced to retreat from the brilliant light, which also revealed their original corpses in the nearby lake.

Those corpses - nicely pickled - led the group to suspect there is a black dragon lair nearby.

But before they go dragon hunting ... they need to rescue a downed angel.

And before they can get the angel, they have to fight the nine vrock who'd been searching for the angel themselves ... and are now converging on the party's radiant skybeam.

It's gonna be a fun fight when we reconvene in two weeks!

Overall, this was a good session. I haven't DMed in a few weeks, so I felt a little rusty. And was being super annoying when it came to drawing and then moving shapes. I'm not sure exactly what causes it to manifest the "hand" option that lets you drag things, but it's infuriatingly inconsistent.

Back online with the @lairofsecrets crew, playing our session zero of . I'm playing Steve NuGunnar, a Vault-Tec Security Veteran from Vault 91.

He was sent to the surface to field test the NuRay 3000 (tm) laser pistol .. and promptly lost it when waylaid by the ghoul Thriftway and his Free Traders.

Aussie iced coffee for lunch, from Pie+Tart in #EastonPa. It’s coffee, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream. #Lunch or #SomethingLikeLunch.

Four-mile which kicked my butt pretty bad.

I was tired when I got home from work and was tempted by the cheap energy of a mini Mountain Dew BUT I meditated for 10 minutes instead, calmed my brain (my brain gets amped up when I get tired, ‘cause I can’t reign it in anymore), and then went for the run.

So now I’m even more tired, but it’s the good kind of tired and my brain settled down.

nukehavoc,
@nukehavoc@dice.camp avatar

@coreysnipes Thanks! Typically, I remember to meditate a couple of times a week, but I've been very consistent for the last month or so, and it's helped a lot.

I like the Calm app for this; having daily guided meditations helps me 1) remember to do them and 2) helps with distraction.

shadow dragons are sad and depressing, and not in a cool, goth-like way like Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice.

Unlike , there's no shadow blend (total concealment in shadows), its breath weapon doesn't drain levels, and it can't summon shadows 3x per day.

And it doesn't have the spell-like abilities of the of mirror image, dimension door, non-detection, and shadow walk.

@pteryx Agreed. My favorite monsters tend not to come from Wizards' books. My go-to books are Kobold Press' Tome of Beasts (volumes 1-3) and the Creature Codex.
