Holy crap. I'm a game designer. I mean, I know. You know. I know you know. But I mean.. I spent all of today, every last minute from waking up until writing these words before crashing out, doing a game design related thing.

I opened my eyes, sat up, popped open the laptop next to the bed, and started responding to kickstarter and boardgamegeek messages about my game. Along the way I noticed that James Raggi of Lamentations of the Flame Princess was calling for scenario submissions for his game - a re-imagining of 1st edition Dungeons and Dragons. That lead to an eMail exchange with ZakSabbath to see how he felt about my dusting off one of our discussions of a scenario for his I Hit It With My Axe campaign and getting it up to snuff for publication. I was a couple hours into writing that up to send to Raggi when another friend showed up with a prototype of his own. We played that for hours, tweaking it with a rules change or two after each iteration. He left and it was back to writing draft-0 notes for the roleplaying scenario.

OK, there was half an hour out where I went over to take care of another friend's dog while she was out of town. And I may have showered as some point. I forget.

In unrelated news:
My favorite quote in recent weeks: "That's the guest squid."
Which one of my friends said to me. Literally. As in, "That squid is for your use as a guest in our house."

And I haven't yet made time to watch the new, final Potter movie. That needs to change, and soon.
