We finished a big fight with some corp-type security guards, and the group is set up for the finale confrontation next session.

Now I have two synopses to type up \ud83d\ude42 One pitfall which urban-fantasy GMs must always be aware of: while fantasy-game swords kill slowly, guns are instantly lethal, which can sometimes be a challenge to the game.<\/p>\n<p>Our players arrived to a less-than-spotless house. Starr and I had a rare weekend where neither of us worked or had any social commitments, so we spent a lot of personal time together, which meant I didn&#8217;t do any cleaning in the living room or kitchen over the weekend. Last night I had to get the place presentable in about 90 minutes time, which I think I managed sufficiently. Luckily my friends aren&#8217;t Better Homes and Gardens reps.<\/p>\n<p>Midori started the evening off fairly relaxed, but started panicking once the room filled up, and took a completely unprovoked swipe at Jesse&#8217;s face. Luckily, Jesse&#8217;s all right, but I&#8217;m pretty cheesed at our little evil bitch cat right now. MistyMina, on the other hand, cuddled on <a href=\"http:\/\/ptownhiker.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">ptownhiker<\/a>&#8216;s and <a href=\"http:\/\/lewisw.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">lewisw<\/a>&#8216;s laps all night, racking up cute points until time for all to leave.<\/p>\n<p>That, by the way, is indeed the new kitten&#8217;s name. We tried Matisse, which didn&#8217;t work, and then we tried Misty, which almost worked. Starr suggested Mina, the name of a friend, and about then the kitten knocked yet another something over. So we named her MistyMina, for her criminal behavior, and that stuck.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight will be Technicon travel prep. I feel like I know what I&#8217;m going to to be doing on Saturday night now, so my main jobs are laundry, repairing a prop, and picking costumes for the weekend. I have four candidates, and only two days of convention \ud83d\ude42 Really looking forward to seeing everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shadowrun went pretty decent last night.
