Well, we’re pootling along. “We” here meaning Smokey and I since I don’t have any visitors due to the ongoing Covid-19 business.
I had a rather rough night last night, didn’t get to sleep while gone 3am because my stomach doesn’t like baked beans. This is rather annoying as that’s three meals I can’t eat, meaning I will run out of food three meals sooner than I had expected or planned for.
My Tesco delivery, and fingers crossed I get one, isn’t until this coming Saturday (4 April). Then we will see exactly what I receive of my order. I may go to the website, remove baked beans and substitute with something else. Tinned curry? Who knows what will be available.
I’m also lying in wait to see if I can get an order for the 24 April. I think that may result in me staying up until midnight on Friday as I calculate that’s the day (or rather, night) the slots for the 24 April will come up.
Work is somewhat dull – or it has long periods of dullness enlivened by periods when I have too much to do and have to try to do it all in a rush. Still, I know I’m extremely fortunate to have a job, and one which can be done from home.

In more fun news I’m playing a Dungeon Crawl Classics game on Roll 20 with my friend Fuchsia as GM. When we left the game on Sunday we were part way up a ziggurat having spied a horde of beastmen who were chivvying a group of villagers in chains to the top where some sacrifice looking thing was going on.
“We” in this case is four zero level peasants. And as I told the GM, the operative word in her description was ‘horde’. Four peasants and a few prisoners aren’t going to have much success against a horde. Are we down hearted? Not a bit of it. I have two characters, one I started off with (who at least has chain mail, making him harder to hit) and one villager, another zero level peasant. I’ve named in Carkas, because he has one hit point, meaning a moderately strong wind could kill him and he will indeed become a carcase in very short order. We play again tonight, and we’ll see if we win.
I’m also making plans to run a game on Roll 20 myself. I’ve bought a few low-level scenarios and am designing characters my players can take along. Included in the scenarios I bought were a couple that are too high for the low-level characters I’ve designed, so I’m thinking I might buy a longer campaign we can be participating in while this Covid-19 business is ongoing.
I don’t want to complicate things by having my own campaign in two or more places making it difficult for me to keep track of.
I’m a bit nervous about running something on Roll 20 in a way I wouldn’t be about software I’m familiar with. RealmWorks I’m fine with, but there’s not much that has to be done while the game is running. Roll 20 is a quite different kettle of electronic fish.
