Fall – Episode 23 Lull before the Storm

This is also known as the Filler Episode (as Norm couldn’t make it), and happens to also be the most amazingly awkward roleplaying Ive ever done.

Not much happened in terms of plot in this one, most of it is dealing with the bomb Calvin dropped in the episode before and Alex not knowing how to deal with it all. As all of this is gone into in by Jenni in her blow by blow recaps, I think I’ll leave it at that.

But to sum up:

• Calvin and Alex barely talk when they wake up in Calvin’s bed the next morning, having spent the night together.
• Alex gets busted leaving the house by Martha, Calvin’s sister.
• Megan tries to sweet talk a priest into giving her some holy water, and when that doesn’t work steals it instead.
• Darius is still recuperating (either in hospital or at home, I was a bit confused).
• Calvin tries to find Gina, and discovers that shes disappeared. The car she borrowed is found in a parking lot near the train station and he assumes that shes left town.
• Megan is oblivious to whats happened between Alex and Calvin, even when the three of them hang out at her house trying to find out what happened to Gina. (Cue awkward silences)
• Alex totally confuses Calvin by bursting into tears in front of him, after he offers to just forget about the night before and she says she doesn’t want to.
• Calvin and Alex have another bonding cemetery moment when they’re attacked by two vamps. This fight doesn’t go so well and Calvin ends up getting bitten.

Next time round well be getting back on track with the plot and edging that much closer to the end of Fall, Season 1!

Fall – Episode 23 "Q&A"

The next in the quick fire Fall recaps is episode 23, Q&A aka the one with the romantic ending. But I get ahead of myself.

The episode picks up exactly after the last one left off. The team are driving around Fall River with their people divination wire trying to track down Xavier.

Fall – Episode 22 "Icarus gets his Wings"

It’s been awhile since my last Fall write up, four episodes to be exact. I’ll try to be succinct and will leave out most of the dialogue, for that head on over to Jenni’s write ups (the link is at the bottom of the page).

First up is episode 22, Icarus gets his Wings.

Fall – Episode 21 "Reaching my Limits, Part 2"

For the past two weeks, since our epic session, I’ve been trying to write this actual play report on Fall. I’ve found it extremely hard, as it was a dark and difficult road that my Slayer started down. I’ll warn you this will be long, and may have emo musings littered through out. Don’t say I never give you an out!

Fall – Episode 20 "Reaching my Limits, Part 1"

This weeks episode was another mostly character driven affair. We were all also pretty tired and/or sick so things moved kind of slowly, but not in a bad way. We had some great character development and I started Alex down a path that I’ve recently realised is totally in keeping with her character. So with out further ado…

Fall – Episode 19 "Losing Ground, Part 2 "

We picked up exactly where we left off, with Darius in front of his locker contemplating the blue jelly goo that has soldified into a gelatinous cube and ruined all of the books, nic nacs and photos that he’d stored in there (including a collar from when his dog Nebby was a puppy, awwww).

Taking time cleaning it up Darius gets to home room a little late, where he is promptly sent to the principle’s office. Once there he’s accused of destroying the practice field, on his own, in a single night. His accusers? A bunch of jocks, the same ones that recently egged his house and filled his locker with blue goo. Despite (or perhaps because of) his rather terrible attempts at proving his innocence he too gets sent to guidance councillor, for the rest of the day.

Fall – Episode 18 "Losing Ground, Part 1"

Alex, Calvin, Megan and Darius have had some pretty exciting times since my last actual play report but luckily Jenni has been dutifully recording our adventures, so go to her blog to catch up.

In an effort to get better at recording the games I’m in I too am going to get back into the habit, but this one got a little long. I’ll see what I can do about making them more succinct. However with no further ado, Fall: Episode 18!

KapCon 2010 – Day 1

KapCon is over again for another year, and it’s proving a hard task to process back into the real world. I had another great Con with more fantastic moments than I can fit in here.

Dominion – I finally played this too!

Thanks to the friendly folk at Budget Board Games Singapore, I managed to finally get  copy of Dominion a few weeks back. If you’re not a board game person, you’ve probably never heard of it, but it’s been one of the hottest games on the scene for the last few years. Again, wikipedia has all the history but it won the Spiel des Jahres this year (the ‘Oscars’ of board games) which basically makes it this year’s best board game.

Ars Magica – back on the wagon

Yeehaa! First gaming session in some time last night and it was a game I’ve wanted to play ever since I heard about it: Ars Magica.

(In the interests of fairness, I should point out that there was no wagons in the game, despite the headline and the ‘yeehaa’)

I’m not going to go into a blow by blow account of the session, but I do have a few things to say.
