Busy Week

Whew! I know I'm still on holiday, but that was a busy week. It featured a quite pointless visit to the hospital, a Baby and You class, preparations for Kapcon, a Plunket visit and our last midwife visit, and then Kapcon itself. We also walked to a cafe on Friday, which was very nice, and probably did some other stuff too. Oh, we had a plumber come round and cut a hole in the deck to gain access to the 'gully', the kind of master drain for the house - it was blocked, and causing bad smells and minor flooding under the house. It's all good now, and the bathroom has gone back to smelling nice - especially so because of the delicious Lush soap that's in the shower at the moment. We're looking forward to seeing photos from Kapcon up on the web, and are already talking about the kinds of games we want to run for kids groups in five or six years. I think the idae of a roleplaying game which includes activities, like making paper hats so your characters can sneak onto a pirate ship, or doing a treasure hunt to get all the parts you need to build a machine would be cool. Gaming with movement and arts-and-crafts would be neat. I'm thinking about maybe writing and running such a game for adults in a couple of kapcons' time, as a way to practice for when the kids are old enough :-) I can think of a few gamers who'd be up for making newspaper costumes and completing physical challenges for sticker rewards to put on their character sheets...
