Extra Life Orange County Guild Kick Off Meeting

Last night I drove over to CHOC 

parked on the Third Floor

and instead of the Outpatient Infusion Center, I went to the main Hospital to meet with the ELOCG.

This was a meet and greet type meeting for the Extra Life charity event that was very well attended--around 40 people I would guess. 

A lot of them were from the OCC Gamers Guild, but there were also some pod-casters & gamers who were very connected to the community.

Last year, Jack & I participated in this with some friends, but we did not raise much money or get all that involved, so this year we plan to connect with other gamers in the area and try to participate in their events.

Also, after CHOC Walk this year, I know that Jack has a lot of friends who want to show him support and events like Extra Life provide an awesome opportunity for that. 

I have set up a Team Page and will update with more event information as it becomes available.

The Reaver Part 1 (Tome Book Club)

Another fun review of a Sundering Novel.

I am reading these books as part of the Goodreads Sundering Book Club where the conversation is generally light & it is great to hear people discuss the book in more detail.

I am very much looking forward to the next discussion which will include the author--this book is not up to his normal high quality--the book has a lot of problems. I am interested in how they will be addressed live in an interview.

Also, Sarah Darkmagic did not attend this week--which is disappointing, she really brings a lot of interesting insights into these discussions.

Free RPG Day Update 2

My Free RPG Day plans are still in flux--I will be going to Comic Quest in the morning to pick up the packets, but may not run until much later in the afternoon because my daughter has a dance recital that day.

Paizo has updated their site with more information, including this amazing image of a Goblin Pirate:

as well as new stat blocks for some of the villains-- MUMMIFIED CREATURE & ZOMBIE LORD -- the entire thing just looks too awesome to pass up

Krakens? On the night I miss!?!

Last night I could not make it to Comic Quest, so I missed D&D Encounters...and they fought KRAKENS!

That will teach me to go to  my daughters Dance Recitals! 

The Snow Whites look like they had a blast without me & appear to have rolled a crit or two.

Two Headed Giant Blue Artifact Deck

Bikes are in the driveway, again--must be time for Tuesday Magic!

Dylan was the first one here for the first time!

Matt continues to be on fire.

Evan and Alexander rode bikes over, which is also rare.

Chocolate Chip muffins were eaten quickly.

The boys all had fun playing Magic.

Derek was using my Sliver deck. 

Cassiday noted that we have a Dick on our bulletin board.
