Last Geekend



I played Dungeons & Dragons for the first time. The other players called it "fast and easy D&D" because, apparently, it wasn't the full-on version. It only took about two hours. I had some beginners luck: rolled a 1 for the monster, and a 20 for my hero. Twice.

Before D&D, we played Magic the Gathering. I hadn't had a game with four people since fourth grade. It took longer than D&D, and it made me wish I'd brought my own, old deck. They've come out with some new, unfamiliar cards since 1994.

So yesterday I broke into my old deck. Tightened up my mana-to-spell-to-creature ratio. It's a fast red deck, so I'm ready to do some damage as soon as the next gathering happens.

Tad, do you play Magic?

Earlier today I looked up the prices of some cards that anchored my tragically lost/stolen black&blue deck, the loss of which basically ended my Magic career. I may rebuild it.

So I run www.oruntilgoldenbrown.com and I just discovered due to some google analytics reporting that you refer people to my blog! So thank you! I also played Magic for years, pretended I was Wolverine, and feel like we have a lot in common. Do you live in Philly? How did you happen upon my blog?

Hey Steve. Shawn Kelly here. Alix recommended your blog, though Erin may have mentioned it too. I found it especially relevant when I worked as a line cook at a bistro here in WIlliamsburg, VA (http://bluetalonbistro.com/). Keep it up!
