Castle, Castle and Firsts

Another enjoyable weekend that was really somewhat overbusy – like most of my other weekends recently. I wasn’t able to do anything with the “Weekend in the Realms” D&D event. I managed to completely forget it was on, and I was busy with my other gaming anyway. I think Mick may have run a session this afternoon, but perhaps not.

Thursday night was BattleTech night, and it saw us having two concurrent games of BattleTech going at once. It’s something that made Popey and Nash very happy; me too.
Friday afternoon after work, I managed to get a game of Descent in with Paul (his first game) along with a couple of games of Magic. My new sets of Descent dice have arrived, so, as I wrote before, I’m trying to get in quite a few games of Descent this month. I got in two games this weekend, the second on Saturday afternoon when that group actually managed to get through the first dungeon. 🙂
BattleLore, Formula Motor Racing and Magic made up Saturday’s gaming, and there was D&D on Friday night and Sunday afternoon.
Perhaps more interestingly, the new book by Richard Castle arrived on Friday: Heat Wave. It’s not that long (about 200 pages), but was suitably entertaining. 
Also arrived, book 4 of the Sharing Knife by Lois McMaster Bujold, which I read with great pleasure. It’s certainly a lighter series than her other books, but it does touch on deeper themes without actually solving them. It’s rather nice to see this approach – most fantasies I read tend to the epic.
