On Reflections
by [username=Bifford]Bifford[/username]

How the blue barnacled blazes are we in September already? That's madness! My preparations for Fighting Fantasy Fest 6 on Saturday continue apace, so next week will likely be some sort of reflection on that event.

Speaking of reflections, and how as we get older time speeds up (there's actually a scientific reason for this, but I won't bore you with the details!) plus we remember things more fondly, I find myself thinking back to the books I loved as a child, and how they inexorably led me to love tabletop books. I might have only flirted with solo gamebooks, adventure gamebooks, and tabletop games as a kid, but my computer RPGs meant a lot to me, as did my physical books, so the two eventually naturally combined into a love of the things we are all here for.

I know some of you have been partaking in ttRPGs from an early age, others of you have wandered in from other avenues such as board/card games, computer RPGs etc, and some chanced on it in some accidental way. Let's reflect on what brought us all here and how meaningful it all is to us.

Every day there's a new Question of the Day. Most of them are game-related but once in a while we get one that'a more geek-related like favorite movies or books. The question changes every day and you can even suggest a QOTD. When you check out this week's Question of the Week, you can see a link to all the old questions and the chance to suggest a question of your own. Here's this week's QOTD:
QOTD SEP 1: When traveling, have you ever gone out of your way to visit a game store or hobby related location/event? What was it and was it worth the diversion?


Let everyone know what ttRPG book you are reading, then let them know your thoughts.

Hippodice. I'm entering Bears love bows and Composer's Cat. It's a bit silly because I'm having to pull application materials together really fast (deadline is September 5th!). But here's the thing- it doesn't cost me anything but my time. There's no fees unless at least 1 of them makes it to the next round. And it's another opportunity to get them both out there. Composer's Cat's entry will be ready to go tomorrow. I just want to look things over once more. As for the bears... the game needs 2 things: 1)the solo scoring chart & 2) new bear art. Consensus is that my teddy bears need to go. Truthfully, I've wanted more beary bears since the start... but I could never draw them.

Most of today was spent on tutorials. This was today's first attempt:

And this is where I ended:

Not ideal, but better, much better. Tomorrow's goals are to complete the new bear art AND to get both entries in. Then, we'll see how much of my day remains...

Happy Wednesday and happy playing!
