You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sorry, guys, I didn't realize we would start so soon and I've been out of town. I just got home and I haven't had a chance to read through the files yet (also it's 102 (feels like 101 with the wind chill!) and my brain is not entirely functional) so I'll get that character chosen tomorrow morning.
Woohoo, starting off holding everything up, awesome!

I will jump on the opportunity to play a Daybreak character: Doc Cottle. Someone hand me my smokes.

Got to play a little bit of Odin's Ravens while I was on vacation. Just reading the rules was a little daunting, but actually playing was very fun. We played as teams because there were four of us, and I think it was actually helpful to be able to discuss strategy and all the different possibilities for each turn, though if we knew what we were doing a little more I suppose overhearing the strategic discussions would have been more of a problem. We only played two races because we didn't get started until fairly late in the evening - our raven won the first race but by fewer spaces than the other team won for outplaying us on the Magic Way, and then they pulled out the second race and tied us on the Magic Way on their last turn, so they beat us soundly.
Definitely would play again.

I have everyone's character and starting draw. I need to put together a couple of things, so the game will get underway this afternoon (my time).
