Feb. 27th, 2019 11:52 pmGood things: my skiing vacation last week was great! And today classes started again, and I look forward to them. Pretty much entirely civil law this semester, should be interesting. And I have a job interview on Friday, let's see how that goes. (I think I'm most nervous about what to wear. Bah, dress codes.)
I have to plan a bank heist for the next D&D session – I thought it would happen last session and I would just have to improvise it, but I forgot rule 4 of DMing: everything takes longer than you think it will (except when the party finds a shortcut you never thought of.)
(Rule 1: You make the rules.
Rule 2: Expect your party to do the unexpected.
Rule 3: Improvise improvise improvise.)
So now I actually have to plan out a bank heist. Uh. I'm tempted to just come up with security measures and let the party at it, they'd enjoy a battle with the security golem, but I should probably come up with possible escape routes too…
I didn't have my laptop at my grandparents' and I didn't download many fics, so I read a lot of books, which was great. I'm waiting for a few sequels to be available at the library, but I finished reading the The Gardener's Hand series by Felicia Davin and enjoyed it a lot. Interesting worldbuilding, a decent plot with some nice h/c moments, good characters that are also diverse (more mysteriously helpful librarians in wheelchairs please), and especially so many queer characters and relationships, wonderful. ( Spoilers ) The writing style wasn't my favorite, too, hm, blunt for my taste, but it didn't really bother me much either.
Next on my reading list: Finishing the Old Kingdom books, and then (when available) the Echoes of the Fall series.
