The Day of Sloth

The Day of Sloth is our 6th Annual Sunday Before Labor Day Picnic.  Potluck, beverages, and a bounce house keep the mob at bay.  For my friends our annual Illuminati University (IOU) game using Risus capped off the evening.

Last year, my side of the invites were low, so when the 5pm hit, there was a mass exodus, which left Nichols, Steve, and myself.  We put the tables together and set up a Gnome Wars game for the Tanga campaign.  This year, between the bounce house, and low invites on the wife's side, numerous people lingered, and I had seven players.  An Actual Play report will soon follow.

There's something magical about IOU, especially using Risus.  Everything is free form, player driven, and GM guided.  I had a smattering of ideas, a rehashed villain, and yet the table was full of raucous laughter until it was deemed too dark to play anymore.  And alas, no Snake Gandhi.

We also had a nice meeting of the minds in regards to the Call of Cthulhu campaign.  Individual goals were discussed with minimal metagaming, new characters introduced, and an expansion of the game covered.  If everything falls into plan, it will be glorious for the players, and a great demand on the Keeper that i'll gladly accept.
