Crazy kind of Monday today. Early morning doctor’s appointment, van in for an oil change at Noon, employee performance review to give, various and sundry Stuff Vying For Attention.
Weekend was kind of odd, too, though it wrapped up nicely with conclusion of the first Spycraft serial. The group was far more willing to delve into the depths of an increasingly shallow module than it warrented, and I was usually willing to indulge them; in their shoes, I would likely have done the same. Still, I cut off and summaried various bits, for the sake of getting us out of there by 9ish (thus making the third session longer than the whole module was supposed to run), complete with a homebrewed denouement which had them both appropriately taken aback then laughing.
As usual, places that were loviingly detailed, Just In Case (e.g., an entire missile silo complex) were almost completely bypassed, while places that were brief sketches of an unprovided-by-the-module map (e.g., the environs of a distillery) were examined and debated in detail. There’s a lesson there, but it’s futile to learn it.
Though if I ever need to run things in a missile silo, I’ve got quite a bit of unused material I can draw on. Not to mention photos.
The good guys won. Huzzah. Now to start researching and fleshing out the next module.
