I both wrote and read things. Shocking, I know.

So I expected my first game of Betrayal at House on the Hill to be today, because I figured everyone would be free and come over? But everyone randomly came over yesterday, and we played two games. Besides me getting insanely unlucky when I betrayed everyone and the normal learning of the rules, everything went okay. It’s a pretty fun game, but man, people weren’t lying when they said the rules were a bit off. There are problems all over the place, and there are these huge errata documents, and you need them to play. But so it goes.
On Jonathan’s random suggestion that new Haunts could be easily created for the game, I found myself brainstorming at work and then writing three when I got home. Who knows if they’re balanced, though. Also, I couldn’t think of any good names for them. One is named “Il Cartographer” for crying out loud. Who knows if they’ll ever be used. At least I got them out of my head.
Anyway, we’ll probably play some more later today, I think. Hopefully with a full 6 people.
I also finished reading I Am America (And So Can You) last night at work. It is a damn funny book. I enjoyed it the whole way through, and people kept asking me on break what I was laughing at and I had to share. If you liked America: The Book, or if you just enjoy the Colbert Report in general, you should probably read the thing. Because it’s an enjoyable time. Anyway, now Jonathan gets to finally read it, and I… I get to keep reading Watership Down, which I started completely on a whim. Why? I dunno. But the first 10 chapters were pretty interesting. So I’ll work on that, I guess. I don’t know.
I got things and things and things to do. And things. To do. Things.
