Tonight, across the sea, forces are starting to gather with an eye on the Covenant Apano Meria, where the players have set their home. How long will the Tribunal stand for apprentices making this legendary site home?

I saw someone say they needed two weeks to prep for D&D sessions
People think they need to do a lot more than they do. Lonely fun is fun but there's so much wasted work. There are better procedures for making that easier, even if the game doesn't do much to help the GMs
7pm Central Tonight: Ars Magica!
While many of the Magi are away, Lir will find that the road the Covenant has domain over has become less safe.

Unknown Armies is a game that always invades my real life when I run it.
Small detail from last session yielded exactly what I needed with a bit of research. There's an organization I want to use. When I looked it up, not only was the biggest part of it in Illinois near me....
when I looked that up, I found someone I knew. Who I'd based a PC on for the Unknown Armies one shots I run.
Still have two slots available for that game on StartPlaying

The Leftovers REALLY makes me want to run a Smallville game that delves into some odd ideas about life, death, and trauma.
I had an idea about playing in the MCU pre and post Blip with regular people that's a possibility.
Leftovers S3, E1
God. Damn.
I'm keeping a week or so between episodes and waited a few months between seasons 2 and 3 because it's a show that deserves to simmer.
Oddly enough, I don't want to immediately jump to the next episode. I want to live in this WTF for awhile.

@scenefour.bsky.social inspired this.
I think a lot of people take the wrong lessons from APs for their home games. We don't experience a home game the same way we do watching an Actual Play or film. The pacing doesn't need to be kept at the same level
In a Dread scenario, I had players tell me about NPCs who were important to them that they had to rescue. I didn't have to do much at all to have them impart a strong emotional impact on the game. Our imaginations and the tension of the jenga tower did a lot of heavy liftting
