When Summer Came for a One-Day Visit

[johan]

Marvellous weather yesterday. My diligent and never-ceasing production of carbon dioxide during 43 years paid off, and it was the hottest April day since they started keeping track. I was able to take the bike to work. It's a ten-mile (16 km) ride, so I don't like to do that when it's too cold or rainy. If it's cold I have to dress so that I won't freeze to death, and that will make me too hot during the ride, and I don't want to start my day in the office with a second shower.

But yesterday was perfect for this year's first bike ride to work. It takes about the same time as taking the bus, too, so the only drawback is I can't read. And today I will get the 6th edition Call of Cthulhu rules that darnia bought on my behalf, so I can start planning the roleplaying campaign I'm going to launch in a couple of months. I have lots of ideas for it, let's hope I will manage to make something of them as well.

And I got my sf news blog Fanspan started again. Gosh, ain't I industrious?

Yours too?

Oh, yes. I found the blue booklet (http://www.rpgnow.com/products/WOTC/tsr2001.jpg) version of the basic rules in a shop - the only one in Sweden that sold that kind of game in 1980 - and introduced it to a couple of friends, but we quickly upgraded to AD&D after a couple of months.

Alas, dmw is not fond of AD&D

Well, to be honest I'm not either, not any longer. Too clunky, too disorganised. I think it was Aldiss who wrote something like -"favourites in literature, just like the taking of lovers, rarely begins in exalted taste"-, and the same goes for roleplaying games, I suppose.
