It was lovely to meet
fjm and
chilperic this weekend, on their holiday visit to Cork.
sammywol and I enjoyed a very pleasant meal and excellent conversation at Isaac's, one of Cork's better restaurants and a favourite of our before the kids cramped our eating out habit.
My mother was down from Dublin too, bringing swag for the kids and providing much welcomed babysitting for our meal out on Saturday night.
In all a good weekend marred only by the onset of a cold. I need more ginseng!

I had a good day yesterday, in spite of insomnia the night before: our gaming group played Mr. Baker's latest, "Storming the Wizard's Tower." It has all the Vincent Baker hallmarks: a simple system with delightful ramifications in play, a fun background that's just fun to make stuff up for, and the immediate desire to adapt it to all sorts of cool other uses.
We spent about as much time trying to understand the very beta rules writeup as we did playing, but everyone still wanted to play more. Which we will, next week!

It does look very beta at the moment, but I'm intrigued.
