09/03 Saturday Storms and Game Night

The long-anticipated Main Arc session is today, readers! For a couple hours this evening, I’ll be at my desk and talking to players across the United States, giving them scenery, dialogue, and presenting challenges for them to overcome.

So of course, there were multiple heavy storms throughout the day!

The afternoon was a mini-hurricane. View from the truck.

I managed to dodge the majority of the rain during the first part of the day, but with Louisiana, the end of a storm brings hordes of mosquitoes out of the grass. At one point, I had to tell a customer I couldn’t stop to answer her questions because “there is a cloud of mosquitoes following me and you need to get inside before they sense you.”

But then 5PM rolled around and the bottom fell out of the sky.

When I decided I’d drive to the houses and drop off mail.

With it being such a sudden storm, I was caught off-guard and drenched. I ended the shift waterlogged and freezing, which was odd all by itself with the upper-80 degree heat. I made it home, changed, saw to the kids, and am making ready for the session.

Pictured: either a very worn out mailman, or Jesus’ Northern European cousin.

With the kids asleep, food eaten, it’s time to get my notes and dice together. The Field Group is assembling and they’ll be anxious to step into the session.

Wish them luck, readers! Stay safe!
