Snow days are a wonderful time for teachers.  Usually it’s a day to check off some of those little things that have been piling up but are low on the priority list. 

Sometimes, however, its just nice to sit back and watch the snow fall and recharge the batteries.  Whether its reading a book, playing some video games or taking some time to colour some pictures with my daughter, there really isn’t anything like a snow day.

Today so far, I have had a chance to do a little exercise on the treadmill and catch some riveting episodes of Super Why with Rachel.  What do you do with your snow days?

In attempts to keep our campaign log more up to date and perhaps interest a few readers, I have created a Ptolus Campaign page.  This is where I will post the ’season two’ journal entries.  For those interested in ’season one’ you can check out the old version of the site by clicking HERE.

Tonight is gaming night.  It’s tough to game on Fridays sometimes just because the week can be long.  We even have had a player fall asleep during a session!  We try not to take offence (he swears its sleep apnea) as we have all been there.  Tonight we are continuing our Twilight 2000 game. 

A couple months ago we decided that before the release of 4th edition that we would take a break from the glut of d20 games and play something different – a palate cleanser if you will.    So far we have had two sessions and are slowly learning (or re-familiarizing ourselves with) the ruleset.  I must say I am enjoying the change of genre and system.

Does anyone else rotate their gaming systems and genres to keep things fresh?  What games are you playing out there when you track a break from the juggernaut that is d20?

ENWorld – Morrus 4th Edition D&D / d20 News and Reviews Site – General – Quick Sheets

A neat idea from ENWorld member, Firebeetle for those of you who are sticking with 3.x edition. Tent Cards for your character sheets.  One side faces the player and the other faces the GM so he/she can see relevant information without having to have check the notes.  Developed for a publisher before the market dropped out for 3.5 stuff Firebeetle is presenting the cards as donationware.  Basically, if you like them, please donate to Gary Gygax’s favourite charity, the Christian’s Children Fund.  If you don’t want to click through ENworld to get to the download, you can get there by clicking HERE.

I like them but then again I am a sucker for organizational thing for gaming.  I love my initiative tracker and used initiative tracker so I’ll give these a whirl when I start back on my Ptolus campaign.
