Catching up

Trying to catch up at the moment. I watch a little too much telly, which gets a little easier now because NCIS has got to the end of its rerun on FX. The list is :

House - 5 a week
Torchwood - 1 a week
UFO - 2 a week, although this is another one that's finished its re-run
Space 1999 - 1 a week
Atlantis - 1 a week
Jericho - 1 a week

That's a little too much telly, so I'm starting to try and make a dent in it while not logging back into Wow. There was a chance to hit one of the instances today but people didn't seem to be going for it an hour ago, so I'm catching up on the telly instead. Telly's not too healthy but playing on the pooter is even less healthy. I need to get out more.

Last night's Warhammer was fun, although our GM Aginoth proved yet again that he can be truly eeeevil. There were a couple of "ok - everyone but him leave the room please" moments last night, which is how the GM passes on critical information that the other players can't know until later. It usually leads to sideways looks between the other players, associated with general "ok - how painfully is that one going to die ..." thoughts.

If this is followed by the player going through the phases of rolling up a new character, then you start wondering if there's any collateral damage happening to the dead-but-we-don't-actually-know-it-yet character. The character did actually survive - but the player had about an hour thinking that he'd be getting a new one.

Quite happy with the way my boy Leopold is doing, he's easy to play cos I can play him as a wide eyed kiddy which is precisely what he is. He's learning though. I getting to like the Warhammer system more too, the more exposure I get to it. It seems to make much more sense as a combat system than the DnD and Vampire systems. There's not much magic but that helps to keep it nicely rooted in something near to "reality".
