Getting There!

I wish moving was as simple as lugging my crap from one house to another. Turns out, that was the easy part. Countless other tasks -- minor but often annoying -- have prevented me from getting back into my usual routine. A big part of that routine, of course, is gaming. However, last night, for the first time since we moved into the new house, I did something D&D-related: I cracked open my books and started mapping out the boys' next Shattered Realm adventure. It's a start!

Annnnnd...

...we're in the new house! Now comes the dreaded unpacking phase...

Farewell!

No, the blog isn't going on hiatus again. I'm instead saying farewell to the house where our family has lived for, lo, these past nine years. It wasn't a great house -- it was barely an adequate house -- but it's really the only home my boys have ever known. (Yikes!)

As we prepare to spend the weekend moving into our bigger, better, brand-spankin'-new house, I'm reflecting on all the fun we had in the old place. In addition to the countless board games we played there, it was the house where I introduced my kids to D&D -- and I suppose that fact alone will always make it kind of special.

For the record, the last gaming action to be played in our weird little pink house was a Skype-based, transcontinental Shattered Realm episode with Matt and his daughter. I look forward to seeing what our first adventure in the new house will be!

Idling

The boys looked at Idle Champions for about five seconds before they proclaimed it supremely lame. I'm inclined to agree...

Huzzah for Technology!

Thousands of miles apart? Living in different countries? No sweat! Thanks to the miracle of the interwebs, we have a new Shattered Realm campaign going -- and it's not just me and the boys! Using Skype, Matt and his daughter have joined the fun from their home in Canada!
