Each of our investigators had different skills that ended up being very complementary. The tension was good, and the turns felt quick, even though it took us nearly 3 hours. I loved the mechanisms around questioning passengers and investigating the suspects; it felt really good uncovering secrets.

This was my first play, with two friends who've played twice previously, so we think we were getting most of the rules correctly. The rule book seems to leave something to be desired. However, I enjoyed it; it felt very much like a board game version of the Call of Cthulhu RPG could feel. (cont.)

Arrived at the Silent Book Club (this month it's in Rowley at Willowdale Bookshop) and walked in determined to not buy a book. Then I saw this one. (There's also a sequel but I had the discipline to not also get that one.)

The board game version of The Horror on the Orient Express finally came in and wow, I need to clear more shelf space. I'm glad I'm getting better about letting games I'm no longer interested in, go.

Buying a few more inks for my small collection of fountain pens isn't at all like drugs, I'd like to think. But then, this morning, I witness what I left out to dry last night.
Several refillable fountain pen ink cartridges and a couple of 20-gauge needles (for refilling used ink cartridges) sitting on a paper towel stained with splotches of different colored inks.

Even though I was the same as a kid - I related to Spock so much - it was reading the Murderbot Diaries that finally made it click and prompted me to go get assessed. 😆

Important to understand that the purpose of these laws is to convert unhoused people into slave labor for the prison system. That's not a side effect, or an unintended consequence. It's the main reason these laws exist.
