GameStorm 21 - March 28-31, 2019
Yea, I'm writing down my notes and getting some other things ready for the next time. I had a hell of a schedule the last couple months that kept impacting my prep work, but starting earlier will help. And thanks for playing in my game Chris & Tom!

The cranky thread
And on the medical front, blood tests perfectly normal, so today we go for an EKG. A slightly different issue is being checked by eliminating a lot of types of food for a bit. Though it's looking like I've gotten much worse on processing dairy recently.

Yikes. We had a cat that foamed and expelled noxious fluids everytime he was put in a carrier. We really limited his travel times... Shots can cause a reaction, though usually it's just lethargy and a possible low grade fever. (Out of > 1000 kittens i had experience with, two had reactions. One was fairly serious in that I had to give him fluids and cut out of the adoption event early.) And I need to read up on the latest going ons with flea meds. (Best thing about living at 5000' and a dry climate was cat/dog fleas didn't survive. So far, we haven't had any flea issues, but it's just a matter of time that one hitches a ride into the house)

But I did not swear!
For me, Frack, Feldercarb, [expletive deleted] in writing, and Hurm. My wife will sometimes say "Dear Lord of the Rings" (which I think is from someone on Project Runway)

Nothing like doctor tests that don't show anything abnormal, but you feel like crap. Definite imbalance of the humours.

Captain Marvel with spoilers
So, paint a mural at the edge of the solar system showing nothing here.

Captain Marvel with spoilers
Saw the film yesterday. I enjoyed it, though parts of the story didn't make as much sense after thinking about it. I didn't see Larson's acting as wooden; She was playing someone who was having her emotions tamped down for the last six years. In my own rankings, it's a solid in the middle of the pack of films for the MCU.

The cranky thread
Where we have our house parked, the main house needed to be repiped due to old decaying pipes. (And I got to point that out to the landlord since we were having some work done to make our house legal to park) During the results of inspections etc..., the plumber and inspector were quite fascinated in the water heater in the garage. It dates to sometime in the 80s according to them. It was still OK, but apparently the work nudged it out of whack, so the house people are mentioning very short hot water time. They're trying to get it replaced, but apparently that is being difficult. Doesn't really impact me since we have a tankless for the tiny house, but I seem to be the "responsible" person who can talk to plumbers/etc... while the landlord's son isn't around. (He lives there, but is on an extended trip)

How Many Focus Do Your Characters Use?
Single point of Body might be a good clarifier. And the text for Breakability between Champions 3e and Champions 6e are nearly identical in function. (I remembered a player writing up a Foci killer slot on his gun. Area Effect, Penetrating back in the mid-80s...) And yea, similar text for 4th & 5th. (1st & 2nd do mention how many defenses breakable foci have, but don't go into the details) Now, did most of the GMs and myself pay much attention to breakable foci? Not really

"Neat" Pictures
Looks like one of the beasties from Stranger Things in the lower right, though possibly it's what ST referenced? Looks like this might be a link to the original, plus other like: https://hcgart.com/

Lost Products: Looking For Unknown Eagles
Yea, that's odd. I'm going to double check my storage area, but I'm pretty sure I pulled all my data from any floppy disks I had from then. I wonder if it was an announced product, but not much follow thru? It was in the midst of the Fuzion release area.
