Day 6 Dice Tower
I always wanted a dice tower, not that my table cheats. I just like the sound of dice rolling.
This tower is made out of fun foam. It is the thicker 2mm. This is my first one. I am thinking of making one out of leather or bamboo and wanted to see the angles and size that was needed. Fun Foam is great for proto typing.
So today I did some cross-stitch, and spent time looking and older pieces I’ve done. I really do need to learn to do framing, I think, or I probably won’t ever get them all framed and on the wall.
Sam and I also gamed. In case anyone is wondering why that would count at all, we create stories together in a free-form roleplaying game. It’s a little like improvisational theater, but there’s no audience and we don’t move around.
As my thing for today, I ran a five-hour storytelling session (Ars Magica, for the gamers in the crowd) with my partner. He wrote about it here. Also group photo, minus the two people who were cleaning up pizza boxes at the time!
I mostly did webby stuff today, with a little writing/editing, too. Sam and I tried to game, but both of us were sleepyheads.
I mean face-to-face story gaming, not anything on a computer. I suppose some people would call it a “diceless tabletop RPG.”
If it does count, I was multiply creative on day two!
Whether gaming is creation or not, there was the webmistressing today, which does. I tweaked some WordPress templates to work better, and moved more stuff over from my old site format to WordPress. It may not seem like much, but I always rewrite and update as I do that, so I figure it counts. It’s interesting to look back at some of the old content, 13 years after I started the site.
Never think that I think I’m an artist. This was mostly a scene that amused me as a possibility in our Thursday Night Amber Game. We have a Prince and Princess in Exile who are threatening to bring werewolves into Amber. The Unicorn has not been seen in over five hundred years. Well, the obvious changes are one reason… and I like the “maddened red eyes.” Otherwise, I filled the paper up with pastel chalk things just to add colour, and I think I did a good job getting the feel of the night, but other than that, I only art to get away from the computer. (I “art around,” you see.)
