Arrgh Deadlines!

Yesterday was entertaining due to the (successful) attempt to hold a BBQ with Manchester's abnormally schizophrenic weather. I even inflicted some original Trek on my guests after they retreated to the living room. They may never forgive me...

The Maelstrom downtime deadline is tomorrow and I still haven't decided how I'm going to spend my downtime. To be honest downtime is one of things I find a double edged sword for a LRP system. Its nice to advance your characters with stuff but it does turn an essentially interactive role playing event into more of a play-by-mail experience with a lot of your IC discussion being based around resource management. Ho-hum, thank god for email!
