A Breath of Life... in Taxidermy

This past week, I did something for the first time this year.

I finally played a game online.

The last time any of us met online AND played a game was a week before Christmas.  New babies, new promotions, new headaches in life keep cropping up.

But Monday night we had three of us together, and after two of us winced at the tales of the third's foray back into living with an infant, we were stuck with a half-hour.

Not enough time for my Risus - Spice Girls Espionage game, but enough time for Coffee Shop.

Podcaster James D'Amato, known for his One-Shot Podcast and Campaign, has dived into authoring RPG books, namely The The Ultimate RPG Gameplay GuideThe Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Guide, and The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book.  One of the Micro-Games included (and once posted on Twitter) was Coffee Shop, where players sent the drama around a coffee shop, barbershop, delicatessen, and the play through "drama" at the shop.

Our guys couldn't do a coffee shop, or even a convenience store.

They went with a taxidermist.  The results for pleasantly horrific.
No word on who's coming next Monday, but I'll be there with a few options.

I'm still looking for time for miniatures or painting, and thank god, the Mandatory Basketball Rant is only good for two more weeks and that season is OVER.

Project 350 - I've done a number of culls and moves, but if 350 drafts and scheduled posts hiding behind the scenes if my healthy standards, the blog is morbidly obese.  I'm hovering close to 500 of those posts with 63 scheduled to post this year and 70 into the future.

I can't even keep draft ideas under 350, with 362 at the time of this writing.  There are at least 13 more episodes of the Lost Dispatches to write up and that will get us into August and #RPGaDay2020
