 Notes: Zig's first time DM-ing! A series of oneshots on a mysterious island. Getting to play with Alex again is fun. The characters escalate from session to session from level 3 to 6 to 9 etc. Have played two so far. Having a lot of fun playing and getting to make new characters all the time.
++**Update 2022-02-16**: Been continuing to play this and enjoy it. It's been nice watching Zigs come into his own as a DM. It's been just man and Jaybee playing lately. Miss playing with the others, but it's also fun with just the two of us. I've played a different character each time, slowly building out the sprawling family tree.

     So we started playing this one game and the the GM vanished, so I stepped in and turned it into So You've Been Thrown Down A Well, which was super fun. Highlight: the insectoid race who rules as written couldn't speak, so in play-by-post, the communicated exclusively via emoji.

     Pathfinder is everything I hate about ttrpgs. I only keep playing this because it's the only way this particular friend group continues to get together, so I'll probably keep playing it forever, hating the game and enjoying the company of my friends.

     Fun pick-up game from Melsonia discord. The game hilariously involves googling random Florida Man stories to create NPCs and encounters throughout the game. Could have honestly done without the whole police violence part in the middle. Good times overall though! I think this was my first time playing Troika in real time.

     Another more different ADF! Born of the APF server, but on another new server with Kunailby. Playing Gliftwirp, a sarong-fu master who is also basically the hamburglar
+**Update 2022-02-11**: this game fizzled out. The second ADF Troika game I've played to do so! Too bad. I enjoyed the brief time that I got to create some McDonalds cosmology. Just for fun, here's Gliftwirp expositing a little bit.
+> Gliftwirp bites into a burger that he swiped from somewhere, closes his eyes, and sighs happily.
+> "How grand that your falcon-headed god gave you his own sight as a boon! How grand that you can even know your god!"
+> "Sadly, my god grants no boons and answers no prayers. It is a long story with which I shall not tire you okay fine if you insist."
+> He settles in to tell a story.
+> "Long, long ago, my god (whose name I cannot say for reasons you will soon understand) was a member of high stature in the Court of the God King. And his best friend and closest confidante was the court jester, Rhahn Ald. But their friendship would end in tragedy! Just listen and you will know why."
+> "You see, Rhahn Ald, the trickster, had quietly and discreetly been stealing magical items from the king's coffers, slowly, over the years, accumulating glamour that he used to increase his influence in the court, to weaken the God King's mind and make him reliant on him. My god (whose name I cannot say) eventually found out and threatened to expose Rhahn Ald. So the mad jester framed his best friend, and easily convinced the God King of his guilt."
+> "So as punishment, everything was stolen from my god, including his name. The Court of the God King will only allow him to be referred to as the Evil Nemesis. (Bit dramatic don't you think?) He also had his handsome physique stolen from him: he now inhabits the form of a large, four-armed, purple worm. And he had his home and all his land stolen from him: he now resides in a damp cave. Most cruelly, he had his intellect stolen: he remains just barely aware of what he used to be, of what was taken from him. But his eloquence is gone. He is incapable of forming the words he needs to defend himself, or gather followers to his cause."
+> Gliftwirp sighs sadly and nods. "My god was cursed and exiled because of the evil trickster god Rhahn Ald."
+> "And in retribution for his wrongful suffering, his followers turn to holy acquisitions and righteous theft. Just as everything was taken from our beloved Evil Nemesis, so do we take and redistribute. And so we shall until he is redeemed and restored to his rightful place."
+> Gliftwirp continues quietly to himself, under his breath, "Robble robble, Amen," and takes another bite of his hamburger.
+> "I truly am happy that you get to know your falcon-headed god, Kiara. It is a gift I hope you won't take for granted!"

+**Update 2022-02-11**: Moving this to dead. Never could remember to go check rpg.net for updates. One of our players dropped, and it became not enough to keep the story going. sad! First time playing Risus, a game I've long wanted to try. Don't feel like I ever got to really get a handle on it.

     Kyle ran us a game of Cthulhu Dark! Played with Josh and Mike and wendi. Investigate Garret's Ranch in Fate, Texas. Everybody escaped intact and alive. A very simple but very flexible game. I liked how you can boost your roll with a cost with the insight die. And we did a good job of using the failure die once or twice. Occupation is really important and you can kind of cripple yourself if you pick something off like "uber driver" like josh did. Nobody took advantage of infinite rolls, and I think somebody suppressed insight only once. Which is all to say that for a rules light game, you kind of have to remember a lot. Anyway, it was fun!

+**Update 2022-02-11**: Moving this to dead. The story was really good. The system was surprisingly good. The gimmick is that you a special that you can invoke and it just happens. And then you flip a coin. Heads = you can continue to use your special. Tails = special is burned until recharged. Made for smoe really fun gameplay.

     super good! ran for z and j. the premise was 'Cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie for OSE' and I think they pulled it off really well. Players arranged for the best ending possible: get /everybody/ to meet up at the docks: dinaz and lucretia to steal the ship (desperate move by L to get on the naughty list) both bounty hunters, yvette and midge, to capture dinaz and lucretia + bitter; winter and loss there, snow to arrange a romantic sleigh ride with Z and Loss... it was a beautiful chaotic mess that was super fun. five thumbs up.

 that said, it was a great group. a real convergence of spheres.
