Hey all. So I'm writing a google + mixtape post commemorating some of the great, long-running campaign on G+. Hill Cantons is at the top of my list. I'm collecting reflections and reminiscences from folks, game ephemera, session write ups and the like. I've followed Chris' blog from the beginning, and played with y'all in a late Hill Cantons phase for about 6 months, and read the Hydra Cooperative products. So I know a lot. But I still need your help to do this right. This is kind of hard one, because I know how much this game means to everyone who plays in, and how long it's been going. But I'm going to ask you try to say something about what this game has meant to you. Chris Kutalik here are some questions for you as the DM, feel free to answer none, some, or all, or totally different questions that you think of: (1) What were you trying to do with the campaign when you started it?

Aw, roger that.
ReplyDeleteOK
ReplyDeleteSee you guys next week.

ReplyDeleteLife lesson #132 about mopery. So yesterday I was feeling pretty down about some career shit around the time I cancelled this yesterday. Robert knocked me out of some of that ruminating, but some of the blues kind of just rolled along all day.

Turns out that her step-father pulled off to the side of the road and had a heart attack and died right there on the spot in front of her. The kind of instant perspective thing that makes all your little in your head problems suddenly seem very small and fleeting.
Not sure why I'm telling you all this other than I consider y'all to be friends--and of course the show goes on again next week.
That's pretty sobering. Spend some quality time with the boys.
ReplyDelete(Also, happy to help.)
ReplyDeleteShit, I'm so sorry Chris.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, I wasn't close to the guy but it's not surprisingly pretty devastating to them. I am supposed to go pick up their kids in a bit, so they can get the details of the service down. It's more the perspective thing, you know. Don't get caught up in being in your headspace when you can be busy living (and playing too).
ReplyDeleteMortality, ugh, it gets you sometimes. Best wishes for you, your family and friends.
