Uh, they're going okay, uh, given that there was, like, a precipitous drop of the number of them that I was doing.
Like, I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure the last time I was, I was on I talked about what I contracted to.
I did a really short, um, kind of four-shot game of, uh, Savage Worlds Werewolf: The Wild West, which actually worked fantastically, but we're then transitioning as soon as I'm done with my two-week vacation starting this weekend.
Once I, once I come back, we'll be doing Savage Worlds Japan, and over the last couple of weeks we actually did some watch-alongs of, uh, some, like, classic Japanese movies.
Um, like, uh, I- I streamed the movie to everybody, and we just kinda watched it.
That's the one game throughout all of this that has not discombobulated in some way.
So if you would've talked to me, like, three months ago, that's the one game that's still survived from then.
Friday I play in a game that's like a home brew 5E game, I think 5.5 actually, um, that is home brew but a little bit Avatar: The Last Airbender, a little bit Game of Thrones, like very, uh, focused on political maneuvering.
Uh, Saturday, nothing going on, although there's rumblings that someone wants to run a game, and I might play in it, so that might kick me up to five.
And then, uh, Sunday is the day that I will be running a game of Break!! With two exclamation marks at the end, um, because we had been doing Daggerheart and that kinda ran its course.
And, uh, that was always, that was always a day of the week in a group that was like, "Hey, we'll run a game while you're kind of getting yourself together, and if you wanna run a game then, um, you know, we'll, we'll suspend the dr- the, uh, Daggerheart game and do something you want." And, uh, I put out one of my famous, um, one of my famous, um, like, surveys, and they selected the Break game over everything, and I can kinda talk about that when we get to it.
I've only got three games that I'm running, one that I'm playing in, and potentially a second that I'm playing in if that gets off the ground.
But the Saturday slot has been cursed, because I've run a game and that didn't pan out.
Someone else was gonna run a mecha game, and he ended up getting just busy with life, and then now we're gonna try for a third game, and let's see if that pans out.
But we'll s- I'm, I'm not expecting necessarily anything to come out of it, but if something does it would be cool.
