Novel, New Edition DQ & More Gaming, Snow and Socialising

The Outcast Girl continues in NaNaWriMo. Have fallen behind significantly over the past five days (writing on only two of them), but am not so far behind that I can't complete in the allocated time. Currently dealing with the fun to be had at Krakatau, drinking soma, and encounters with Garuda and Naga.

In very big news I've received a thumbs up from Jolly Roger Games to write a variant of DragonQuest set in the Barbarian Kings world. This has caused quite a stir among the various DQ lists and, of course, our own core of DQ players.

In other gaming news I've ended up in a Diplomacy PBeM. [livejournal.com profile] anthanum (France) and myself (Germany) have formed a promising Franco-German alliance. Tomorrow will be finishing Slave Pits of the Undercity in the Norman Britain AD&D game. It has an extra bite.

On Wednesday went to the National Rhododendron Garden as part of a Unitarian Church outing. Rather unusual for Australia in November, it snowed. [livejournal.com profile] tau_iota_mu_c (who visited the evening previous from NSW) informs me that NSW/ACT also had the same experience. This is late spring in Australia. It shouldn't be snowing. The weather is broken. Other social events include another great dinner with [livejournal.com profile] ser_pounce and [livejournal.com profile] wolf_in_winter on Monday. Tuesday night dining was provided with [livejournal.com profile] anthanum and [livejournal.com profile] missmilky with fine Japanese cuisine. Last night played Scruples with [livejournal.com profile] caseopaya and [livejournal.com profile] zen_cat.

OK, we'll be there about 6:30. Looking forward to it!
