Regarding Weekends

I botched the Friday game by not bringing character sheets, and what lead from that is kind of a summary of my weekend. Nothing quite went right, but it wasn't entirely terrible anyway, somehow. I had a good idea of what was on the character sheets, so I just resolved to play it a little fast and loose, but it was hard to get people's attention without the sheets. After all, without stats, you're just sitting around a table with a lot of beer.

Saturday was pretty nice, but the giant yard sale was a bust for me. I'm picky about furniture that I buy even for really cheap and I didn't bring cash, I brought checks, and after some debate, I never even bothered to ask people if they'd take personal checks. Nothing really stood out as a good idea to purchase, so I just didn't. I have to say that the Belgian pub we went to later was more successful.

Anyway, after that, all I really did was clean. I'm thinking about just not posting Exalted stuff on the journal anymore since I think of the people that do read this, Brent is the only person who plays it, and I talk to him about it all the friggin' time. Part of why I was running kind of weak games is that I don't have a cohesive idea of what I'm playing with, which is a problem with most fantasy settings, anyway. I actually need some kind of philosophical underpinning of how the universe works, and all I was doing was messing around with tropes and getting the goal of the game confused, which explains why I can spend hours prepairing and still have a shit game at the end of it.

It's no big. Game's on hiatus anyway.
