First, culinary news. KFC challenges little English pub for holding a "Family Feast" (via [livejournal.com profile] ktwhoopi. I knew it! Cocktails are good for you (via [livejournal.com profile] wildilocks.

Last Sunday's AD&D game was a disaster. In our prelim scenario one PC wasted a conviniently placed "genie in a bottle" wish spell on their own advancement after a number of PCs had been level-drained from a wraith. Following this the DM run us through G1: Steading of the Hill Giant Chief, but changed the plot and setting in significant ways that simply made no sense at all. Fortunately tonight [livejournal.com profile] calisi will run the second session of Covenant, which is proving to be most engaging.

Went to Splodge! on Monday with [livejournal.com profile] caseopaya, [livejournal.com profile] severina_242, [livejournal.com profile] _zombiemonkey, [livejournal.com profile] recumbenteer and L. to see Logan's Run.Silly film, but a good way to spend an eve.

This Sunday the Unitarian Extension Movement is hosting a forum on climate change with Dr. Peter Cristoff from the Australian Conservation Foundation, Gavin McFadzean of the World Wildlife Fund and Dr. Michael O'Connell from the Alternative Technology Association.

Use Blackle instead of google. Read the 'About' for why</>

Yep, they'll do that!

Couple of years back in Rey's D&D game, we were looking for an oracle, a tree that would answer one and only one question. As soon as we got there:

NEIL THE INCOMPETENT PALADIN: So you're the tree that answers one question, right?

TREE: Yes.

NEIL: So, [quest-related question]?

TREE: [silence]

EVERYBODY ELSE: [glares at Neil]

What was it about the G1 plot and setting change that really didn't work for you? I gather this was the one making it Welsh giants, yes?

This seems almost OT, but I was also amazed by the fact that Cadbury have trademarked such an ordinary phrase as 'the color purple' or 'colour'... I've forgotten. Maybe if we spell in wrongly we'll get away with it ;)

I'd love to know more about the game of Covenant you're playing! Particularly anything particularly cool or that you had problems with.

Thanks for taking it for a spin!

You know it makes me more than a little annoyed that fast food/big food companies get to trademark common expression for food- like family feast or old-fashioned for apple pie.
