The dear @ellen-lovebug.bsky.social gifted me Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons — Ravenloft. Once again, I didn’t want those monochrome miniatures to stay that way so I primer’d then painted them. #Horrified #Ravensburger #DungeonsAndDragons #Ravenloft #TabletopGames

With a little bit of extra time before I needed to turn in the lorry at U-Haul and head to the Las Vegas airport today, I went to a couple of local #ComicbookStores. At Red Hood Comics, I found two more issues for my “Same Cover Date As Me” project. @podcascadia.bsky.social #MarvelComics #DCComics

I bought this #Lego set used. It did turn out to be missing the three small pieces that make up Admiral Nelson’s statue. Oh, well. I started assembling it during dinner Friday evening and finished it while others were singing at karaoke.

I played #FinalGirlGame today and won. 🫣 There’s a lot to facing Freddy—I mean Dr. Fright—but I beat him without activating Shiela’s ultimate ability or the Terror Deck running out of cards. #FinalGirl #TabletopGames @vanrydergames.bsky.social

For awhile this year, I couldn’t ride my #CanAmSpyder, Ben, because of my left hand bone problem. Then I added a broken shoulder to that. Both are now fixed enough that Wednesday I reinstated the insurance & I took him out. It felt SO good emotionally and my body is only punishing me a little.

Pam and started playing #PandemicLegacySeason1 today. We won by the skin of our teeth. So far, there’s a lot less plot to this game than there was when I played Season 0. #Pandemic #PandemicGame #ZManGames #TabletopGames

Spoiler-free review of #SpiderManBrandNewDay. 10/10. Saw it in 3-D & that was used well. There was a lot of plot that I did NOT see coming. There is an after-the-credits bit that’s intriguing but may not be worth staying for unless you’re a big fan. #SpiderMan ##MCU #MarvelCinematicUniverse

I’m so tired of my shoulder being broken and hurting that I made a trip to Diagon Alley for some unconventional medicine. (She Who Must Not Be Named made no money from this purchase. I wouldn’t have bought it if it were an official product.)
