Roleplaying went well

Yesterday we continued with the chores, but in the afternoon I played a Call of Cthulhu roleplaying session with some dear friends on Roll20 and hopefully more are yet to come.

Some things and others

Yesterday we stayed home of course and played on the computer but also did some chores.

In the morning I quickly baked a cherry cake for breakfast.


In the afternoon there was an online roleplaying session planned, but body decided that it needs some rest, so my dear joined alone.

Later that evening I passively took part in two podcasts/online roleplaying session. The first one was by The Good Friends of Jackson Elias and the second one by Oscar Rios of Golden Goblin Press, who presented a brand new scenario for Cthulhu Invictus (Call of Cthulhu in Ancient Rome) for the first time.

Before we went to bed, we did watch some tv shows on the couch of course.

And finally the fitting black and white image of the day.

Staying home this day

Yesterday I stayed home all day and answered the work emails from there.

In between I did some chores and entertained the cats.

In the evening it was again time for couch and tv shows as usual.

Since the isolation of the people spawns interesting projects these days, I also join one which is about 10 day in 10 pictures in black and white, and here's my first contribution.

Some work has been done

Yesterday I went to the store to send some of the online ordered games and books. It was rather exhausting to pack them all up and then walk all the way to the nearest post office, which was of course crowded with people.


After that I also went to Alte Donau to prepare our hut for the upcoming summer season. Spring has already started there.


Finally I returned home and we went onto the couch for the usual tv shows.

In the evening it was tv shows on the couch as usual.

On a side note, our cruise in april has officially been cancelled and we can either rebook or get our money back. Right now we really long for a vacation (since after the stress from christmas), so we will rebook I think.

Staying home from now on

Since we now have basically a curfew, we went for a last walk yesterday and picked up pizza from Pause am Berg. They too see their business future very bleak and have a fear of losing their restaurant very soon.


In the afternoon my dear and I started playing Grim Dawn together to get into another mindset for now.

And in the evening it was time for tv shows agaim.

And it's getting worse

Yesterday (and today as well) the whole situation about the corona virus for self-employed people got worse. Right now the mere existence of many of those is hanging by a thread and I myself also doubt my decision to go self-employed more and more. Worst of all is the thing that it's not my own fault that it looks so bad and I have to hope that the politicians do the right thing to prevent the worst.

That's why our day was rather bleak, in the afternoon we went for a walk and in the evening it was tv show time on the couch.

Samstag, 14. März 2020

Businesswise it's bad

Yesterday was an average day at work. But starting next week we are not allowed to open and this will be some interesting times which might lead to some harsh business survival decisions.

In the evening I was home alone, since my dear was out roleplaying, and I took some comfort with our cats.

Freitag, 13. März 2020

Beyond the Vale again

Yesterday was another live performance of Beyond the Vale in which I also took part of sorts.

In the evening we just went onto the couch and watched tv shows to forget about the coronavirus and it's personal and business consequences which will be hitting us soon.

Donnerstag, 12. März 2020

Games, games, games

Yesterday I attended the annual games training from Pegasus, where the upcoming hits were presented and also gamed for a bit.


In the evening my dear and I went to Pause am Berg for a great dinner.


Afterwards we went home and spent the evening on the couch with tv shows as usual.

Mittwoch, 11. März 2020

Vacation?

Yesterday was another weak day at work and also in our private lifes the panic about the virus is affecting us, since our flights for the upcoming cruise in April have been cancelled twice already and right now we have no way to get to the ship in Mallorca.

In the evening we went back home and right onto the couch for the usual tv shows.

Filmreview: Onward

Yesterday we went to the movies again after a long time and watched the latest Pixar movie: Onward



It is about two teenage brothers, whoh want to bring back their dead father for one day and they want to do that with magic. Ah yes, the boys are elves and live in a fantasy world. It almost sounds like a horror movie, but it is of course made for childdren and teenagers.

The boys have a lot of adventures to live through, which looks a lot like a D&D adventure. In the end it is simple entertainment where neither roleplaying fans nor ordinary viewers get the perfect entertainment for their tastes.

Conclusion: it is ok, but for me too shallow entertainment

Montag, 9. März 2020

Finally finished a game

Yesterday we spent most of the sunday by doing the chores and entertaining the cats. In the afternoon we finally finished Divinity: Original Sin 2 - after a two year pause.

In the evening it was again couch and tv shows as usual.

After that we started boardgaming with Skull King and this was my hand in the final round.

Boardgaming weekend (part one)

We went to dear friends for boardgaming yesterday and played some very nice ones (Betrayal Legacy, The King's Dilemma and Die Crew), while also getting some nice desserts and an excellent bulgogi.

We came home very late and the cats already were starving to death (according to them) so we rescued them in time.
