Dragonboat races

Today we did the Draonboat races with peaseblossom's mom and our friends M, J and B. J is the boy's age and they are very good friends. A good, but hot, time was had by all.

We're currently lying around the house in various states on undress. The starchild is napping and everyone else is rather tired. I don't expect a very exciting night today.

The boy just asked for supper, don't understand why he's hungry I feel like we've been eating all day. Maybe its the heat.

peaseblossom and I were discussing a poetry reading club. Everyone choose a poem for the next session and everyone read's it and then we discuss it. I'm thinking this might be a very good idea.

One-Shots

I don't think we've been doing enough one-shots in our circle lately, so here are two I want to run.

I’ve been reading The Perfect Red, and as a result I have this craving to run a Conquistador horror game -- lots of jungle madness, weird Aztec stuff, and maybe cannibalism. Not sure the system, though Wyrd does come to mind, I’d like to try that system again. The players would be a party of Conquistadors that horrible things happen to. Ideally I’d then like to jump ahead a period of time, maybe 150-200 years and tell the story of a bunch of rich Hispanic aristocrats who encounter a similar thing. And then tell the same story, but for a bunch of kids on spring break in a van. This I guess makes it a three-shot.

robotnik once asked for a “magic school” game, and after reading the latest Chrestomanci book I have a neat little scenario in mind involving kids at a summer camp for magic youth. Not the same thing probably, but its summer and I want to explore the idea. Plus I like the idea of everyone having a counselor and a camper. I also have an idea for a more traditional magic school game, with its major inspiration A Separate Peace. Don’t know the system, but I would appreciate it if someone would lend me their copy of Dreaming Cities. Oh, and GURPS Infinite Worlds, I want to reread it this time with a specific question in mind.
