Just a reminder that people are invited over for gaming this evening, starting at 7pm.  And, to make things a bit more comfortable I've now got a window AC on the main floor, which should take the edge off the heat.

AC is a good thing; I'm busy this evening, though.

What I want to play is something with which I can fall asleep but watch others be complicated. Maybe I should just heckle? Maybe I will be more awake by then.

It is tricky to find something asymetric like that.

You think? The market for such a game might be a little to niche.

There are asymetric games where one person has a far more complicated role than the rest of the players (RPGs come to mind), but I haven't seen the other way.

RPGs can work the other way too - when visiting people I have played a NPC so that they could play their game and I could play a character. As a temporary player with no stakes, I felt it rather important not to do anything too crazy :).


No fair. Now I have a craving.

Hm... I guess as a guest-player you can have even less knowledge/expertise than the rest of the players.

Hm... I so do not have time to run an RPG campaign of any sort.

Game system familiarity wasn't an issue - we played AD&D and GURPS so I knew both.

It's more that it was a way to quickly enter a game I wouldn't be repeating AND get to take part in a new gaming group (fun for me and them). I always hated it when people wanted a new character just for them in case they played more than one game session, it just took too long. At least in GURPS that was out of the question (unless they had a premade character, also yuck).

Really? Actually, I think it is that you have too much of an irregular travel schedule. I really don't want to play a regular game, myself. Of course, I really loved making new characters and seeing how they interacted with other people's characters. Once I did that, I wanted a new game, unless there was a good GM. But that was the truly hard part.

Hmmm. Gaming... I'm interested though I need to talk to buttongirl first.
