Frog Blog

I'm absolutely charmed by the lost frog meme, a child's poster for a lost frog that internet funsters have run with a la All Your Base. L & I have been telling one another, "I lost my frog!" "Him name Hopkin green frog!" and chortling over our deathless wit all week. I even posted my own modest contribution to the meme.

Last night we tried out an Akira-Kurosawa-meets-Reservoir-Dogs roleplaying game called The Mountain Witch, which I really liked, but I think I ended up in the minority on that subject. I did make one huge mistake in how I ran it, a rookie error that pretty much mystifies me. In the long run, I think my skin might be too sensitive to keep trying to sell these indie games to our Ad Hoc crew. I wrote a loooong post about the game and how it went on the Forge. I should write something about it for the 20'x20' Room, too, pitching it there not as feedback for the author, but for a more general audience. I feel bad about how derelict I've been at 20'x20' lately. I've still got a half-written post waiting around about my Paranoia game back in September. Say, isn't the 20'x20' Room's one year birthday like, tomorrow, or the next day? Maybe I can do something with that.

I also posted something today for Veterans/Remembrance Day on the newly unveiled www.robmacdougall.org, backdated to conceal my tardiness. Mucho blogging!

p.s. I'll find my frog. Who took my frog?

If you ever do want to try to run it again, you know I'm down (Kurosawa fanatic that I am). BTW- whatever happened with that wushu/Moorcock game we made characters for lo those many months ago? That sounded fun.

I got a good laugh reading your forge thread, connecting gender neutral pronoun to name of person you meant. I'm pretty sure I teased out how it all went. ;)

You would have been great for this game.

I'd still love to run that Chinese Sorcerer game, but I have my doubts about the likelihood of scheduling it.
