One more Espresso shot

Reading a friend's post, I was inspired to say a little about the games I am in.


SW: Edge of the Empire (GM) - my players are all miscreants, inadvertently broken out of an imperial prison while being processed, by none other than Saw Gerrera, who was there to get someone else. 22 episodes later, they are still trying to pay off that debt.

D&D5e - playing a support fighter, and a little against the trope. Tricksy halfling, redirecting attacks, forcing re-rolls, handing out good berries.

D&D5e: Scarred Lands - classic Hexlock, modified slightly for the Scarred Lands world. Eldritch Blast, Magical Darkness, magical summoned two-handed sword wielded with Dex. I am the night.

Avatar (based on Prowlers & Paragons) - Famous jock from the Earth Nation arena fighting teams. On a tour promoting the league out in far-flung Earth Nation towns, when the Fire Nation attacks! Now teamed up with a big ol' soldier, a scheming merchant, a Southern Tribes water bender kid who was raised in a swamp (his healing smells funny), and an Air Bender with PTSD, we have to help out this city while being sieged by the Fire Nation.

Lancer - Colony planet medic. Seen too many people hurt by indiscriminate collateral damage from Mech Combat. Found out I am pretty good at piloting a mech. Waffling between glorious retribution and keeping civilians safe, I pilot a spotter mech, trying to make everyone else hit better and harder.

Those are the active games with my normal gaming groups.

I also play in a Western Marches style SW game through a Discord Server, where I have a Tognath Bounty Hunter, trying to live up to the mentor that brought him off planet and then left him on The Wheel.

I could list the normal gaming group games that have ended, but I would have carpel tunnel and forget so many.

So, last night I stayed late at work to finish a document that needed to get out (that sense of urgency my boss' boss chastised me about). Time logged 10 hours. It is a good document, using bullseye-ese and our new template for said reports. So it really says very little, as required by unwritten corporate policy. Also, I noticed that my "Yellow" condition on the dashboard last week was overruled (I know I updated the document, I even sent an email stating I did). So this week I still marked it "Yellow" and sent an email that I would not update the summary since someone else changed it after the fact for me anyway and no one explained to me why, or even told me.

Too late to go to kickboxing, so I became one with my computers.
