Exercise

I started my fat loss/endurance gain program yesterday. I wasn't sure if I could even run 2 miles anymore, but it turns out that I can. I did take it pretty slow though, with an average of 4.5 mph and taking 25 minutes to do it. Still, maybe in a few weeks I'll be back down around 16 minutes like I used to be. Or maybe a few months, we'll see.

Remember, in LARP you only need to be able to outrun the other fat gamers. :)

Charnel Gods

We had an interesting twist happen in our Charnel Gods game last night. I had set up a kicker for my wastelands warlord character that started with assassins bursting into his daughter's 18th birthday party. Well, I had planned on it starting him on a road to vengeance and war against the Irthan military/government, but it didn't work out that way.

I lost the fight. At first I was a little annoyed at getting my ass kicked by them, since I figured that they wouldn't be much of a threat to the wielder of a power 10 fell weapon. It turns out that we were making some rules errors, but we didn't realize that until today. Besides that I just couldn't roll any 10s on 15 die pools, while Bret could roll 1 or 2 on 5 dice. That didn't help much either.

Anyway, I got over it quick. Our intent was really to follow the story of the fell weapons through the epochs, without the wielders really being as important individually. So I said fuck it and made the commando assassin as my new PC. Shuffled the numbers and descriptors, gave him a new weapon, and gave him a cause.

It's not what I had planned on happening, but it was still pretty cool.
