Busy day yesterday.

Between bouts of screaming about New Orleans, I actually got out of the house for a while.

I had an appointment to play Dr. Destroyer in a game at an acquaintance's house. That killed about two hours (and two heroes, plus one pizza.) Then while driving home, I saw a Triumph dealership. Out of curiosity, I pulled in.

They let me test ride a Bonneville. I am so getting this bike! I only rode it around their block, but even that short ride convinced me that this is the motorcycle for me. It just felt right.

After that, I went to my mom's for madelineusher's last night up here before returning to LA. isomeme and laurellady were up to pick up their darling kid. Bill and Ann brought Kylie the Wonder Infant over to be cooed over. Alas, Kylie was having a bad day and let everyone know that she was not happy with life at that moment. Dinner was something not Dougable, so I munched garlic bread and drank wine.

(note to sossity: Somehow your email landed in my junk filter, and I only saw it this morning when I did my weekly cleaning - sorry! They should be back up here this winter for the holidays, maybe we can arrange something then.)

After sitting around watching Family Guy (which my mom had never seen before) and chatting, I felt good enough to drive home. Good seeing everyone again, even if madelineusher did keep trying to steal my copy of Hero 5th Edition.

Today, I'm doing laundry, and chilling out.

Augh, the Doctor?!! He's my favorite Champions villain. His appearances are always epic moments in a campaign. How did it go?

I had a blast. Got to be menacing, cold, callous and cruel. In every combat sequence I never did more than a half-move. Dr. Destroyer does not run, he strides.

Exactly. If he doesn't stride across the field, it's because he's slowly hovering around the field, blasting from above. Did the heroes defeat him, or did he simply hang around long enough for some schedule of his to complete itself elsewhere, deciding to leave the battlefield at the moment of his choosing with a pithy comment about their ineffectiveness?

The so-called heroes defeated my minions, just as I had expected, and I had an escape portal prepared.
