Day 12 little things


Weekends are to be enjoyed even more so than every other busy minute so hopefully I will be too busy to post at weekends.

This Saturday is a new adventure thats started only recently. I've been helping run a dungeons and dragons (d&d) game for a kids group for those on the Autism spectrum. I didn't care what they 'had' they just wanted to learn d&d. 

As the assistant I help create the story and maps, nudged players in the right direction, helped find things on character sheets even come up with names and help decide which door to go through etc. The first game was fantastic! Defeating a many headed hydra and a terrible maze to find the emblem of heroes. So fun was the game this time we had 10 players!!!! usually a game is around 5 players ideally 4 and a dm... dungeon master.

a map I made, to find out whats going on you'd have to join the game (if we run it again)


It was still a good if chaotic adventure. Congratulations to Tom the DM. 

Then Sunday was a day spent chilling together... mostly watching anime another new passtime. The latest which has kept my attention for 4 season is Hunter X Hunter. A great starter anime too. Take a look here for details. Another new thing, watching things through a console on netflix. Even paying for netflix is new. For anyone wondering if its worth it I say if you find yourself browsing nonsense tv for something to watch while you eat or chill with you're partner or family it is well worth it. My own personal view having tried Amazon too is that netflix is much more on the ball and amazons catalogue seems mostly z listed movies. Though the ydo have their own shows...

This weekend: New things include running d&d games for teens, map making, a new anime, and new technology use. I also tried a chocolate truffle but nothing exciting to write about for that. 

I am still wondering if these 99 days will uncover a properly themed blog....
