I did not go to the World Wide Dungeons and Dragons Game Day. Instead I go together with my gaming friends and we played our current campaign on Saturday. Evidently the official WWDNDGD stuff did not arrive at my friend's mom's store in Manhattan, so he stayed in town and we gamed at his house. I feel kind of bad. I had somewhat harassed the local game store owner (Table Top Games) about having some sort of activity that day--and then I didn't go. It was nice to play the other game though. We actually seemed to make a lot of progress. My character leveled up and he is now a multi-classed Rogue/Fighter.

Speaking of games, we finally played Gloom by Atlas Games--they also make Lunch Money. I really enjoyed the game. I had bought from the local gaming store before Halloween at the same time I bought Fluxx by Looney Labs. We had been playing Fluxx a lot lately. It is a very fast paced and simple game. It is also a lot of fun. Gloom actually fits my mood a little better. The goal of the game is to get the least pathos points on your dead family members when any player loses the last member of their family. You play modifiers with either negative or positive pathos points on family members, you can play events to do special things, or you can have your family member have an untimely death. The text on the cards is funny and it is so cool that the cards are transparent.

I was so excited when I got home tonight, my copy of the Firefly soundtrack had arrived from Amazon.com. Unfortunately I need to be heading to bed, so I didn't play it yet. I plan to listen to it tomorrow on the way to work.

You can't take the sky from me.
