Ah summer is nearly here and with it a bit more free time for Anne and I.

 

I’m planning on trying out my Sunday Sabbath 2.0 for the summer. If you missed the original post the idea is to pick a day and to make sure you get a good bit of relaxation on that day of the week. I’m not sure if I’m doing it every week, but possibly every other week or every week there arn't special sunday plans.

 

So much like the religious Sabbath this one’s got some rules that I’ll be trying to follow

 

#1. No work or chores which are anything other than fun stuff you want to do

#2. No driving more than 5 miles and no going out to do errands

#3. Sleep in and go to bed early

#4. No schedules or alarms or timers of any kind, just ignore the clock (other than rule #3)

#5. Keep cooking to a minimum

Well, I’ve been busy so I haven’t dipped deep into any game but I try to go to game after 10pm for at least an hour and I’ve squeezed in a bit of gaming elsewhere so I’ve tried out some new stuff.

DDO: Looking forward to next module with monks, still haven’t hardly played much of the last one…

Age of Conan: Played a few hours. Looks pretty, neat story/setting, average game play for an MMO.

NeverWinterNights 2: Finished main story with Anne and just started sequel. Great game, playing solo with evil character as well and about 1/3 the way through.

Starcraft the Board game: Got to play this at a friends. Really well designed IMO and lots of fun. Manages intense combat and strategy in a game under 4 hours (with 3 players) by getting you right into the action from turn 1 and having a decisive game mechanic for winning.

D&D 4^th Edition: Got a bootleg copy and am reading the rules. It’s very different, almost more so than 3.0 was from 2.0.

D&D 3.5: Had a good session a couple weeks back, always fun for me.
