Who’s doing what
It suddenly occurs to me that I haven’t talked about my games in a while. Can’t have that. I’ll lose all my geek cred.
Ruth Green in Galactic Renaissance rescued an infant noble from kidnapping, has been tapped as the infant’s mother’s new bodyguard, and has gotten her family’s permission to accept the role, which was harder than it might at first sound. Ruth is (by design) profoundly plebeian; she should shake up the palace quite nicely. And, of course, she can rebuild it when she’s done. She’s handy that way.
We just finished the Dragonhunt prologue for Renate’s new brother-in-arms Aryk Lazarus. I pitched in to play Sabra Congreve, a brusque but conscientious young archer, and much fun was had by all—especially over my string of unbelievably hideously bad die rolls in the climactic fight. (Like, five twos in a row on a d20. The Fates were just not my friends.) The third prologue, for the ever-so-enigmatic Rien, is scheduled to begin shortly.
Ex-mermaid Delphine of Enclaves is learning to walk, getting into and out of fights with her lover, and establishing quite clearly that while she will sacrifice many things for those she cares for, her pride is not one of them. In the associated Green Room (for out-of-setting character chat), Delphine has just assisted with a lovely prank involving hanging a man’s lower garments from the stage lights—you wouldn’t believe it of me, would you?
I have also been invited to play in Murder at Christmas, a short murder-mystery game played during winter holidays. I shall be playing Mary St. Pierre MacKenzie-Brown, new wife of the new laird of Verrisay, Scotland. Expect mayhem, my best Wodehouse pastiche (guess which character! go on, guess! I’ll give you a hint: she’s from the Jeeves-and-Wooster cycle), and of course murder.
