Hurray, Friday!
Hurray Avalon!
We spent most of the evening talking about our pets and pet
histories. Is this what other couples do?
(Augh, I'm in a couple!)
The Fairest of Them All (Carolyn Turgeon) is a fairytale
mashup based on the idea that every bitter old fairytale queen or
stepmother was once the hot young fairytale maiden full of pantsfeelings
for inappropriate princes in her own story. It is written in a fairly
realistic style, not a huge amount of magic, which unfortunately means
fairly realistic unpleasantness.

I am now officially Technical Team Lead. I do not get more money and
probably don't get much more respect, but I do get more meetings!
...wait, that doesn't sound like what I wanted at all. But I suppose it
might be what I need.
No Avalon again, but at least this time it was scheduled. The cats
will console me.
I heard back from the lawyer I am trying to get to help me with passport
stuff. I jumped through the insurance hoops, but now she has to rate my
landing and then see whether it is even possible to do what I want.
I read some playtest bits from the upcoming
13th Age
supplement, which seemed interesting, and then some random 3rd-party
stuff for 13th Age, which was very unpolished, even
compared to playtest material.
Congratulations! by marith (Fri Jan 31 10:10:09 2014)
Too bad about not more money, but it's good they are recognizing your Clue!
Now if only you could convince them to let you make up your own title on business cards like my company does. You could be Speaker to Vertebrates!

Customers.
No Avalon-date tonight, she has a headache. (She's from Canada, you
probably wouldn't know her.)
The Gaean Reach (so
new it doesn't have an RPGGeek entry!) is
Robin Law's game of Vancian interstellar adventure in the setting of the
"Demon Princes" and "Alastor" books. Laws + Vance = a system that's a
combination of Dying
Earth RPG and GUMSHOE, with both
taglines and guaranteed clues. The clues are important, because without
them you cannot hope to track down Quandos Vorn and wreak a fitting revenge
for the terrible wrong he has done you in the past.
I am still very dubious about the idea of starting off at full resources
and only going downward, even though it apparently works for some people.
Laws makes clear that finite ability pools are supposed to represent screen
time rather than actual awesomeness, but since they do affect success and
failure, it doesn't work that way for me.
So many fuzzy paws!

Today I skipped out super-early to go to yet another doctor. I am not
doomed for that reason, perhaps (and if I am, it is treatable). But it
still seems unlikely to be very relevant to my life.
Now there are Avalonsnuggles! Also kittypaws! And too much Brogue.
Also, no progress on Changeling World.

It's Monday. Avalon has Internets. She has a date with one of her
other sweeties tonight. (The frogurt is also cursed.)
My physical copy of the English version of Golden
Sky Stories has arrived. I have already read it all in PDF, so I don't
think I will reread it immediately, but I can admire it!
The almost final PDF of the 13th Age Bestiary
is not too different from the beta version, but the samples of the
forthcoming physical book look pretty nice. I wonder if I will ever run or
play 13th Age? Maybe after Ta Baby can exist without constant adult
attention (so, ten more years?).
I read the Vast
& Starlit Omnibus a few days back but forgot to note down when, so
I guess I did not officially finish it until today. Yah, that's the
ticket.
V&S is pretty much diceless Farescape
in under 500 words (2000 with the supplements for aliens and
technology and romantic tension that are included in the omnibus).
The DVD that was stacked up behind El Cazador de la
Bruja was disc 2 of Otoboku. Meh.
So many paws!

Adam abandoned us (for SCIENCE!) but we gamed anyway. We mostly
finished Dave's "The Great Cabbage Drive" adventure and then hopped back
in time to follow Jeremy's adventure involving the Great Weapons and
Hyacinthe's family history to the point where it affected what we were
doing in the future. Also, it is now obvious to anyone aware of the
facts that all the Great Weapons are Hyacinthe's by right of
blood sap.
Avalon is still without Internets at home, but was able to chat from
a coffeeshop for a while until they threw her out because Toronto is
three hours later than here.
On a related note, I left voicemail for a lawyer allegedly covered by
insurance to work on getting a passport.
Volume 2 of Dictatorial Grimoire (Ayumi Kanou) introduces
what may be actual female Märchen demons! Also the female human lead
gets to display her awesomeness.
Finally, after many months of spending every evening either
brain-dead or with Avalon, I finished El Cazador de la
Bruja! It was not a super-amazing ending, but it was an ending to
the show.
Now I can keep some other DVD for months on end!

I almost did useful things today! Kinda. At least I refrained from
buying any more white chocolate chips.
Marith was so flat that even peanutbutter pie (preserved in cryogenic
suspension since Ayse's birthday) could not lure her over. We were
forced to divide her share of the pirogies among us.
- Wandering Son 5-6: They survived the play and Chiba
didn't even have to stab anyone! Although it might have been close a
few times.
- Toaru Majutsu no Index 18: I don't think that's really
very consistent characterization, although I suppose anyone can get
flustered outside of their comfort zone.
- Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood 33-35: Augh, the scary
thing under the northern border! And the even scarier thing above it!
The third omnibus (vol 6-7) of Zero's Familiar (Noboru
Yamaguchi, Nana Mochizuki) wraps things up at about the same place the
anime ended, although there is a small epilogue story. I still think he
should have gone for Kirche.
Paws and paws and paws!
but the most important question by marith (Wed Jan 29 09:43:42 2014)
Is there any peanutbutterpie left?

Still no announcement, but I verified that it involves nothing except
some wording that might someday look good on my resume, so not that big

Oh no! Avalon has no Internets until Monday! Except when she goes to
a coffeeshop to use their Wifi, but she can't do that all the time.
Having no Internets is very sad.

The work thing was not announced today either.
Avalon was not available and then suddenly available but slept
instead. I bought comics and cat food. It's all excitement all the time
around here.
Black Bard (Sazanami Ichiya) reminds me a lot of
Jing: King of Bandits: handsome and mysterious young man
travels a strange fantasy world, causing chaos that mostly discommodes
bad people and being oblivious to potential romantic interests. Also,
pirates.

I took off work in the morning to go to the doctor and then go to the
other doctor. The first doctor agreed that yep, those are some pretty
gnarly calluses on my locomotor appendages, and prescribed some slime to
rub on them and recommended some things to wrap around them while I
hibernate.
The second doctor bore a curious resemblence to Flit, only perkier
— Valley Flit, maybe? — and seemed to think that I am not
likely to keel over dead any time soon. She got me a referral to yet
another doctor, who I will not see today.
Then I ate some food and went home and worked very ineffectively from
there. The cats helped.
A thing happened at work, but it has not been announced so I probably
shouldn't talk about it.
No Avalon for me! She is busy with her work holiday party (rescheduled
from the holidays, when everyone was panicking).
Unquenchable Fire (Rachel Pollack) is a strange book. It's
like late-20th-century life (published in '88), after a religious (but
not at all Christian) revolution/memesplosion: there are cars and telephones
and New York City, but instead of movie stars, there are popular
shamanic storytellers; the main character works for the power company,
maintaining the enclosures for the spirits that keep electricity flowing
smoothly; there is a national registry of prophetic dreams. There are
also sections of myths interspersed throughout the book, which are
clearly from something like modern times (eg, the great hero bringing
trucks that hatched and filled the world with cars). However, there is
only one event that could not be in everyone's head, so is it actually
fantasy? I am tempted to recommend this to Ayse.

Today Avalon was feeling much better, better enough to be busy all
day, so I mostly sat home and read. With cats.
In volume 4 of Sankarea (Mitsuru Hattori), we find that
even late-blooming zombie girls eventually reach that certain awkward point
in their existence...
The thesis of The Secret Life of Pronouns (James W
Pennebaker) is that the words no one notices, pronouns and articles and
conjunctions, carry a lot of information that people provide without
realizing it, and even simple computer analysis can bring that into the
light. It seems to be correct, in that Pennebaker's software is
significantly better at humans in determining things like which poets
are more likely to commit suicide, which lawyers are lying, or which
national leaders are about to declare war, but that's still a very low
bar.
But, on the optimistic side, it seems clear AIs will have better social
skills than humans!
Shapeshifted (Cassie Alexander) is the sequel to
Nightshifted and Moonshifted, following the
continuing adventures of a nurse who has gotten mixed up in all the
supernatural doom ever and then kicked out of it and fired from her job.
With doom on top.
This is the second urban fantasy book I've read in the past couple of
months to feature Santa Muerte as a major plot element. I guess it's
steam engine creepy Catholic heresy time!
In the evening there was some date, although Avalon sensibly went to
bed early. Ish.
Marith's upstairs neighbor in her apartment building one block from
Monkeycat Towers is moving out. If I wanted to move there, this would
presumably be the perfect opportunity, except then I would live in the
pits of Carland. But, Marith's apartment is pretty nice. Why do people
have to be so difficult?

18 January 2014 - Saturday
For a change, no one was out of town or sick, so we brunched at
Monkeycat Towers on French toast and eggs with mushrooms (at Ja Baby's
request).
Ta Baby can now pick things up by palming them, and and knows to wait
for something rolling around in circles to come back to his hand before
trying to seize it! He is also very skilled at smiling and laughing.
Ja Baby saved up all her media time so she could play games on my
iPad when I came over, which is pretty good gratification delay for a
4-year-old.
Then fish! With shiitake and leeks! And chestnut-parsnip soup! With
bacon! Even Marith ate it instead of ordering pizza, which does not
happen often.
- Wandering Son 3-4: Ayse is right that Chiba is a lot
more ambiguous in this version.
- Cross Game 44: Initiate
Final Battle
Baseball Championship Sequence!
- Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood 32: What a cruel GM,
making them earn the points they got for DNPCs!
- Legend of Korra 10: It's not hard to see why
non-benders find benders scary.
- Toaru Majutsu no Index 16-17: The rest of the Angelfall
arc made slightly more sense than the beginning. Slightly.
Ack, Avalon is sick! It is not nearly as bad as initially reported by
someone, but it doesn't sound fun. :(
I came back, cats! Although I did not bring the fish with me, because
Ayse kept it all!

17 January 2014 - Friday
Yay! I made it to Friday! Boo! Friday is full of Webexes and
customers that don't follow up!
While waiting for customers to get back to me, I worked on Changeling
World some. I think I am going with the playbooks being based on what
kind of plaything you were for the gentry, and your role after that
being a compendium class ("If you do X in play, you can take
Special Move Y next time you level up, instead of one of the regular ones
from your playbook. If you have Special Move Y, add all these other
special moves to your list of options when levelling up.").
I thought at first that the potential for advancement in the playbooks
should be limited, since they are about the past, and most of the
advancement in the current roles, but even if you can't transform any
further, or practice dragontaming, there's still magic you can learn (in CtL, this
would be the Seeming-related Contracts). Now I'm not sure, which seems to
be my natural state as a game designer even though I know being sure and
wrong would be better.
I only had half of an Avalon tonight, but that is much better than
all of being alone!
Nisekoi (Naoshi Komi) is pretty standard shounen romance,
with yakuza, slapstick, and promises made to half-forgotten girls.
Although the two leads start off hating each other, I hold out little
hope that they will not end up together.
Did Japan always have the trope of "a man and woman hating each other
at the beginning of the story inevitably leads to them hooking up", or
is it something we fed them during the 40s and 50s?

I tried to work much more productively today, with limited success.
But, my head did not actually implode due to being filled with vacuum!

Meep, Avalon is all headachey. I am not in favor of my people feeling
poorly! Illness should be reserved for people I don't like!
The second and final volume of Girl Friends (Milk Morinaga)
is about as cute as I expected, but somewhat steamier.

Even though being on call was not very much work, I will complain
about Monday anyway!
Avalon's work laid off a bunch of people, so now there is drama and
confusion. Hmph.
The first omnibus volume of Girl Friends (Milk Morinaga) is
about as cute as I thought it would be. The main characters are not as
terrible about Using Their Words as a lot of manga romance characters, but
confusion still abounds, because yuri.
Wolf in Shadow (John Lambshead) is in most respects a
fairly standard book: modern fantasy, very British, civil servants vs
variant vampires, etc. However, the pacing or the amount of exposition or
something is weird, because it feels like the middle of a longer
book, or the second in a series, even though the Other Stuff By page
doesn't show anything. Maybe it was one of those books where the story
really started a hundred pages in and the editing process fixed that?

I got called for work at midnight. It only took an hour to resolve
(customer had dumped piles of stuff into a filesystem that they could see
was too small), which is about as good as you can hope for from a P1 at
midnight, but I could still have done without it.
Now we are back on the regular Immortal
Empire schedule with part two of Dave's Cabbage Drive adventure...
which we completely ignored in favor of annoying the most powerful
people around. Maybe at some point the PCs should face some consequences
for being so obnoxious, but I'm not sure it's that sort of campaign.
I am a terrible gamer, but I have great powers of
Triscuit-eating.

No customers have called me today. I will count this in the Win
column.
Apparently Marith and I completely disrupted Ja Baby's development by
showing up at Monkeycat Towers at the wrong time. :( But Ayse and
Ken gave me mushroom pasta anyway.
- Wandering Son 1-2: Wow, this is a very light-filled and
pastel show. I'm not sure why they started in about volume 4 or 5 of
the manga, but I guess that's why they only have 11 episodes.
- Cross Game 42-43: Mocking Daimon is always good. And
people are starting to actually admit who they like, so you can tell
we only have a dozen or so episodes to go.
- Legend of Korra 9: Yay flashback to Toph, who never
became less awesome! But boo mutant bender scum.
- Toaru Majutsu no Index 15: It's the beach episode, but
it makes no sense! At least they have an explanation for why it makes
no sense.
21st Century Science Fiction (ed David G Hartwell, Patrick
Neilsen Hayden) is an anthology of recent SF, like you might expect from
the title. Several of the pieces I had read before, which makes me feel
better about my engagement with the world of SF. None of the pieces were
stinkers, although naturally some were better than others.
Peter Watts rocks, although in a very uncheerful way.
Volume 6 of Wandering Son (Shimura Takako) continues to be
adorable! Hopefully the differences between manga and anime will not cause
me to go mad and become the thing that lurks in the basement. Because I
don't have a basement.
To say that I have been working on converting Changeling
to Apocalypse
World might be a bit strong, but I have at least been thinking about
it.
The stats and basic moves are pretty much like AW. I have mashed up
Clarity/Glamour/Wyrd with some
Don't Rest Your Head
and come up with something I like, and adding some Fate
and
Tenra Bansho Zero
to the damage system also pleases me. However, at some point I have to
decide what the playbooks are going to be, which is to say, what aspect
of the characters is most distinctive.
The first option I see is to do it by how you were transformed. This
is simple and iconic and tells you what your powers are: wolf-man can
run people down and tear out their throats, ogres are strong, someone
made out of flowers smells nice, etc. However, it's definitely the most
superficial option.
Option #2 is to create playbooks based on what your job in Arcadia
was: performer, thug, dragon-wrangler, gardener, ice sculptor, evil
clockwork mechanic, living candle, etc. This is not completely distinct
from #1, since presumably your transformation was related to your duties
(and in fact the original version divides up changelings by a
combination of #1 and #2), but is more about what you did and what was
done to you in Arcadia than what you look like or what your powers
are.
Option #3 is to classify characters by their role in changeling society
back in the Waking World: Spring Court broker, Summer Court duellist,
Spring Court seducer, Autumn Court occultist, etc. This is probably the
most Apocalyptic option, since it makes the playbooks about what you
actually do in play (they aren't called backgroundbooks!), but only
really works if the characters have stable roles in the world of
changelings, which may not be true for some or even most games.
I had been thinking that the playbook paradigm might not work for
characters who are in transition, but really it just means that the
playbooks have to be based on something that isn't changing. For a game
where the PCs are established in changeling society, #3 would be the way to
go, with #2 being just a choice of a couple of different background
packages as one of the starting moves. If the PCs are fresh out of the
Hedge, then it would be #2, with #3 implemented as (possibly fairly heavy)
compendium classes a la various Dungeon
World expansions.
I think.

Today I was handed another emergency as soon as I walked in the door,
but I was able to resolve it in about five minutes, because I am just

Avalon is also awesome, because the next stage of her plan to seize
control of the Canadian magazine publishing industry has come to
fruition and now she can rule the department she formerly labored in
with an iron fist! Er, not that she doesn't still have to labor, but she
can make sure other people labor correctly. Also, more money
and prestige!
Hurray for Avalon!

Dave is still back, so we made him run Immortal
Empire!
In pursuit of native cuisine to illegally import into the Empire, our
heroes bearers of hereditary privilege returned to their
ancestral homeland (specifically Valerie's family's estates) to get experts
willing to relocate along with the Great Escargot Drive, but found that the
local farmers had been plagued by a glowing, pumpkin-headed, vegetable
rustler. With some effort, they (mostly Hyacinthe and Benoit) tracked him
down and hit him with a secretly indelible stink bomb before being chansed
off by his goons, and then were able to track him to his lair in the city's
guardhouse and drag him away under guise of fighting Benoit over having
knocked up Hyacinthe. It turned out he was rustling vegetables for profit
(and maybe fun), but someone had put the idea in his head and promised him
immunity from prosecution based on a token from a well-respected judge of
the PCs' political faction. The plot thickens!
It was very sad to not have Marie Jack of Diamonds
there for the encounter with the other person based on Flashy; we obviously
need to get Adam to follow Carl's example of retiring so he can play in All
The Games. But hopefully he will make it next week.
Avalon sent me a picture of herself after getting her hair done, which I
almost showed to everyone at gaming, but it would have derailed us. (Also,
if anyone was insufficiently admiring, I would have had to call them out,
and I don't fancy my chances against any of the people I was gaming
with.)
Later, we experimented with FaceTime, since we both have iOS devices. It
turns out Avalon is even more adorable in video than in pictures!

Ah, back to sleeping in. So unhealthy, but so cozy.
While lying in, I read manga!
Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry Blossom Pink (Milk Morinaga) is a
collection of yuri short pieces all set at the same high schools, linked
by common characters. They are not super-astounding, but are definitely
cute. Yay cute!
Dictatorial Grimoire vol 1 (Ayumi Kanou) is sort of the
opposite, in that most of the characters are boys, even Cinderella and Snow
White, although to be fair they are pretty femmey. They are also Marchen
demons, which the descendent of the Brothers Grimm has foolishly let out of
the Magic Book of Binding. Wackiness ensues.
Grim World
is another
Dungeon World
sourcebook, this one for, well, grim stuff. There are a bunch of new
classes, like the necromancer, the guy who always a plan, and the
paladin variant who is all about the torture, but the major new idea is
death moves. When your character bites it, they get to do something
amazingly spectacular, like have an undead army rise from the ground and
wreak horrible vengeance, irradiate the entire area with elemental
magic, or kill anything that could possibly be killed with a spear cast.
I'm not sure this idea is appropriate for every DW game, but it's pretty
cool.
There are also stats for all of this in Fate Core,
although that's mostly just Aspect suggestions and a few Stunts, because
it's FATE.
I went to Monkeycat Towers to eat pasta with fennel and sausage, and
then we watched anime because Dave is back!
- Wandering Son: FAIL. Dave had downloaded it, but we had
not decided to watch it in place of Nurse Angel Ririka
until just now, so it turned out he had never gotten around to putting
it on the Hard Drive of Anime. Next week, for sure!
- Cross Game 41:
- Legend of Korra 8: Asami is clearly the most awesome of
the characters. And Councilman Slimebender is clearly up to
something even worse than it first appeared.
- Toaru Majutsu no Index 13-14: I'm not sure that was a
believable solution, but it seems to have ended the plot arc.
- Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood 30-31:

What, more work AGAIN? Well, at least after working TWO DAYS IN A
ROW, I get another twelve days off, right? Right?
Oh, bugger.
Weird Life (David Toomey) is a basic popular introduction
to the idea of life not descended from LUCA -- other abiogenesis events
on Earth, life on other planets, strange things like plasma creatures in
stars, etc. I gave it points off for being too snobbish about SF,
although perhaps that was uncharitable.
One, of the Kickstarters for Dungeon
World sourcebooks I backed, Inverse
World, has finally gotten to the stage of producing a rough draft.
It is pretty cool, and much more fantastical than the usual D&D
setting. The world is an immense spherical void surrounded by a ceiling of
rock, with the chained god Sola sitting down at the middle emitting
light and heat. Around Sola is the Cloud Sea, and around that are most
of the flying islands. And you know what flying islands mean: SKY
PIRATES! (I think this has been the International Decade of Sky Pirates,
but that's okay.) One of the playbooks is even Skyship Captain (who
technically doesn't have to be a pirate, but...). The others
are like The One Who Can Fly, the Sole Survivor, Has a Piece of the Sun,
and other setting-specific things, although I guess there's no reason
you couldn't bring in a Fighter or something.
Also, mysterious golems and giant monsters and tunnels dug into the
outside of the world!
