I found this at the mall in Chico. Pretty cool!

I didn’t play D&D this weekend again due to the Easter holiday.

Instead I went to Chico to visit one of my wife’s friends who was a bridesmaid in our wedding.

She recently got engaged to her boyfriend, now her fiance.

I’ve been hanging out with her boyfriend a lot via the internet.

We’ve been playing Diablo 3 a lot together. Fun game to play with other people!

We went to the mall while in Chico.

The girls went clothes-shopping while the boys went looking for track pants for me.

There’s a new regulation at my job that requires pants to be worn at all times in the lab (no shorts).

The pants are so if you spill a dangerous chemical it gets on your pants instead of your legs.

Heavy pants are awful in the summer, so I wanted the lightness of track pants.

We found two at Dick’s Sporting Goods and then bummed around the mall for awhile.

The picture above was taken in Spencer’s.

Spencer’s is a strange shop. It sells a lot of cool stuff like Pikachu hats, Adventure Time belts, and Zelda shirts.

Spencer’s also has a sex section. It’s dominated by freaky bondage stuff and lots of “pecker” candy themed for bachelorette parties.

We laughed at a lot of the stuff there. We were looking for the Newlyweds party game for the four of us to play, but they didn’t have it.

The only Easter themed thing I did this weekend was eat a chocolate bunny.

I feel like Easter for nonreligious people like me is something you celebrate with children.

I’m in the midpoint of my life where I’m too old to be a child with my parents anymore and too young to have kids of myself.

Maybe in a few years I’ll have children, but for now Easter will remain a smaller holiday.

That’s all for tonight!

Setting the Stage Podcast

75 – Masks, Capitalism, and Coming of Age (Joel and Critical Bits) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Joel tells us about his actual play podcast, Critical Bits! The campaign was a teen super hero story using the Powered by the Apocalypse system Masks. The Masks system is great for teen drama and coming of age stories for superheroes that still live with their parents, have school, and don't know who they want to be yet. Joel and the players did a great job of capturing those feelings in a world where superpowered individuals are under threat. The government attempts to register all teen superpowered people and there are tons of organizations looking to kidnap superpowered teens to enslave them. Does good win in the end? Well… probably. That's how these stories work, right?
