Last night was session three of Family GURPS Night. We are playing a 2nd edition D&D adventure in which the heroes must find out why men are disappearing from a village, and put a stop to it. I decided to use the Dungeon Fantasy templates to make it easy. They're all n00bs, and a classic dungeon crawl adventure is just what they need. We have ranger, paladin (war), rogue, bard, barbarian (played by my six year old nephew), and fire mage. They're having fun, and I'm getting back into the swing of things.
It's fun learning a new system. Simple things turn into full research projects, like how to put together a wand that shoots balls of ice.

Newest baby pictures, including her first ride in the buggy at the store, and her first attempt at feeding herself with her hands. Notice I said "attempt," heh.
She's growing up so fast!

Last night we had some of the family over, including a six year old, for game night. I ran a GURPs fantasy game. It has been years since I've gamed, I've never played GURPs, and none of them had ever gamed at all. It went surprisingly well. It lasted far longer than the amount we accomplished would indicate, but all in all it was fun. They actually want to play again. We're playing fast and loose with the rules, as I doubt any of them have the patience or interest to commit full balls to the whole system.
Yesterday our little poop blossom turned seven months. She's so adorable. :)

Attention anyone who lives in Longmont:
The Jack in the Box on Main sucks rhino balls. The burgers were shriveled even more than the worst Wendy's I've ever had. The cheese sticks were freezer burned. One of the seasoned curly fries, which cost more than regular fries, we ordered was half regular fries, and soggy ones at that. We're never going to Jack in the Box again.

Also, I wish we had this when we were still playing D&D in IRC.

The 10:23 campaign had a positive effect in New Zealand. Hopefully the rest of the world will follow suit.
A public mass overdose of homeopathic remedies has forced the New Zealand Council of Homeopaths to admit openly that their products do not contain any "material substances". Council spokeswoman Mary Glaisyer admitted publicly that "there´s not one molecule of the original substance remaining" in the diluted remedies that form the basis of this multi-million-dollar industry.
The NZ Skeptics, in conjunction with 10:23, Skeptics in the Pub and other groups nationally and around the world, held the mass overdose in Christchurch on Saturday to highlight the fact that homeopathic products are simply very expensive water drops or sugar/lactose pills. A further aim was to question the ethical issues of pharmacies, in particular, stocking and promoting sham products and services.

I ask those of you who are familiar with Canadian television what else might I like if I also like Corner Gas?
