Won't Get Foiled Again

So I'm running a PTA game! My first game mastering, not counting one InSpectres 1889 romp, since Battle Without Honor or Game Balance five years ago. It's going well; we played the pilot in February and the second episode ("Help Me, My Aquatic Friends!") last night.
The show is called T.H.E.M. (it doesn't stand for anything), and it's about a team of kinda-sorta supervillains in a city controlled by shiny corporate superheroes. Which means I'm finally in compliance with the ten mention rule I broke in 2002 or something, plus I can steal liberally from myself, the Tatro-verse, even my notes for
weirdotron (possibly my favorite never played game, although there's a lot of competition in that field). Not to mention a zillion comic books.
The players (
athenalindia,
theclevermonkey, and two guys who inexplicably don't have LJs) are great. I originally pitched the game as "Grant Morrison's Dr. Horrible" but it's turning out to be a bit more of a soapy superhero noir with X-Files-y elements. I may get an episode recap up, depending how long Eli naps for.

Now I don't even know where it went. And yes, 95% of my justification for this comment was a Dragonlance reference.

Good gaming makes me think, and thinking keeps me from sleeping, and then having to get up at 6:30 this morning to traumatize medical fellows all day is not a best case scenario. I will attempt to not have that particular conflict again :) )
