A Busy Day
Dec. 11th, 2011 11:02 pmWent out to Endgame this morning for my friend Eric's release party for his two games Cambria and Hibernia. There was tasty catering and fun games to play. I've played a lot of prototype games over the years, and I'm happy to say that many of the ones I've played at Endgame (Armorica, Cambria, Hibernia, Race to Adventure) have been top-rate, and the sort of things that I'd be interested in playing even if designed by people I didn't know. I did horrible in my one game of Cambria, but pretty much sharked both Hibernia games I played.
My Dad called in the late afternoon, which he often does on Sundays. We chatted for a good hour on this and that, which is always a pleasure.
I picked up the Ascension card game while at Endgame today and introduced it to Kimberly tonight. She's been a big fan of Dominion (having played the game more than I have, I'm positive, and I have almost 100 plays under my belt), so I've been wanting to introduce her to another of my favorite deckbuilding games--except I didn't own it until today. I'm very happy to say that the experiment was successful, as she liked it, even after I got out a rampaging horde of Mechana Constructs.
My Mom called in the evening, and we're going to go visit her for Christmas Dinner on Christmas day. We haven't done that in many, many years, but with a relaxing week afterward and plenty of notice on the plans, I was happy to say yes.
Whew! Which is why I say busy. I was going to do some more writing tonight (on the AP for my Pathfinder game, which is now done for the year) and some programming (on the iPhone version of the aforementioned Armorica game, which is nearing feature and UI completion, but still has no AI), but I got knocked off track when my dad called around 3.45, and it's now much, much too late. So instead, I'm going to relax, finish the volume of Scalped I've been reading (#7), and do some other assorted reading.
