Slept from ten to six without waking.
High of fifty-three and foggy today.
Goals:
- Play some Nintendo
Done.
- Walk, enjoy the warm weather
Done.
- Some D&D stuff?
Done.
Man, I forgot how much I love Legend of Zelda.
Despite some minor frustrations I've always had with the fiddly mechanics (hit box sizes), the design and world building are compelling.
Make me want to assign an RGB color pallet to each of my D&D dungeons.
Annoying that the Switch NES Online emulator doesn't' seem to have any way to hide the button select menu.
I've taken to playing with the TV in a zoomed video mode; not ideal.
Double Dragon is more fun than I remembered.
Idea: D&D adventure/micro-setting — a small forest that varies considerably in each of the four seasons.
A key challenge: making it interesting enough that the players would want to keep coming back, and/or cluing them into its seasonal nature.
Maybe printed as four physical books with season-colored covers?
Moved a few more posts from my old D&D blog to the new one.
Thirty-five-minute walk in the early afternoon.
Overcast and damp underfoot, but pleasantly warm and windy.
Detoured off path in Beverly Park to check out some strangely arranged wood (kids, probably) and slipped in the mud, caking my hands and knees.
No harm done.

Campaign idea: Mutant Future plus Realms of Crawling Chaos in an investigation-focused campaign.
Maybe in a preserved (theme-park-like?) city/region that got hit by a neutron bomb (killing everyone but leaving most property undamaged)?
Maybe what was a highly planned "future" city in the Middle East or China?
Maybe a national part in the US with the nearby towns?
Maybe an AI programmed to keep the place pristine (shades of _Paranoia_?).
Perhaps a Middle East city that _contains_ an Epcot-style world theme park?
Maybe the nature of the apocalypse was an all-out human strike (nucs, etc.) against an invasion of Lovecraftian horrors.
Elevator pitch: post-apocalyptic Mutant Future game set in a Middle Eastern "city of the future" that got hit by a neutron bomb, killing all the people but leaving buildings intact. That city contained an Epcot-style "cities of the world" theme part administered by an artificial intelligence. The player characters are investigators working for the AI to solve and punish serious crimes committed within the park.
Watched some of the new Netflix She-Ra cartoon.
Servings: grains 7/6, fruit 3/4, vegetables 3/4, dairy 7/2, meat 2/3, nuts 0/0.5
Breakfast: banana, coffee
Lunch: cucumber, flatbread with egg and tomato and cheese and a couple olives, orange, beer, apple, carrots
