The Doug Alone Taking a Nap for the Month of July [probably August]


The past two days have been a LOT of noise and fury and sound. After a week of lesser amounts of noise and fury and sound. As of right now, something like 90% of what I own is on a shipping container [with around 6% left to pack and move, though it's the big 6%] and 4% to be used in the final week here in the United States [or donated/recycled/etc].

The movers should be here in the next 10-20 minutes and then chaos will reign once more as I try to sit quietly in a corner and not bother anyone until they finish that big 6% [beds, furniture, some of the heavier boxes, the computer I am currently typing this on].

At one point, I was going to do a little showcase of my "solo set-up" for the next month+. Take photos. Don't quite have the time now, alas. So I'll just lay it out:

  • Dice box [which has, I think, 5 complete sets of polynomial dice]. 
  • Additional dice bag with 3 sets of Fate dice. 
  • ShadowDark
  • The new Gamemaster Apprentice Base Deck 2E
  • Fate Condensed
  • Loner's new-ish two-volume set. 
  • Mythic's main book. 
  • Knave 2e.
  • Tricube Tales Solo [though I need to print a better copy]
  • Arcane Agents one-sheet [though I might print a few more]

That should be more than enough for a month. I mean, Tricube Fate + Loner + Mythic + GMA Base 2 + ShadowDark is enough to likely play until I am tired of the concept of solo games. As much as I like variety, that should top me off until we see our stuff again sometime in mid(?)-August. 

There's also a clipboard, a couple of notebooks, some pencils.

That being said, time for this blog to go dark for at least a month and maybe two. I don't have a particular "will restart" moment just yet because there are so many tasks involving getting utilities turned on, stuff enrolled, finding new grocery stories, and all that. Jet lag. New schools. Two new languages. Finding out which foods I can eat in a whole new country.

I have played two (sort of three) sessions of Bleak + Pearl. I have played a bit of a different game that I won't spoil. My hope is to maybe play one more session of B+P this weekend before the flight. Then maybe play a couple of quicker sessions as I go through jet lag, etc. Somewhere around mid-ish-August to get back into playing more regularly [around unpacking and sorting] and then 

HOPEFULLY

Kick off around September 1, 2025 with a bit of  a stockpile. 

But we'll see.

Until we meet again, Space Pilgrims: I love you.

And if we never meet again for whatever reason, I still love you all.
