I'm playing Storming the Wizard's tower with a couple of different GMs. It's a playtest, so it's fun but ... it's a playtest. The problem with playing a playtest with fans of Vincent's games is that they tend to blame mechanical problems on themselves, rather than the broken mechanics. Fun, just, you know.

I'm also playing Bliss Stage. It's fun. There's a lot of soap-opera. No sex yet, but I only once had to remind someone that you say what you do, not what you want to do.

I'm playing Race of the Galaxy a lot. It's a card game. It's a blast. It's basically like "what if Puerto Rico was faster moving, more difficult to plan, and lacked problematic racial elements?" It's by the same designer and in all ways excellent.

I'm playing Civilization 4, which is way too much fun. Beginning to get under the hood of the game, fiddling around with specialists and tweaking things.
