Me with free time? No....

So, today is the first Valentine's Day ever where I haven't been single.

In many ways, it's exactly the same as every other Valentine's Day.
But somehow, it's better. Hard to say. All the random lovey-dovey crap that's everywhere made me smile instead of cringe. It's just a change of attitude.

Ah well. I've been running my new campaign, and at two sessions in, it's going really well. I have lots of ideas, and different ways to make everything split off in multiple directions. Already, session 2 was a prime example of 'woah, I didn't expect you to do that'. Although there was a bit of rules hiccup, we got it settled, and we'll be ready to go again in two weeks (my brother is here this weekend, so I'm taking a session off from GMing to show him around CMU). I've started to write up session 3, and I've realized that in only two sessions, I'm already seeing the complexity level of the plot I want to foster increase. With what I have planned next, hopefully things will get less one-sided in terms of combat and player participation. I've also done some of the bookkeeping I want, so keeping track of ammo and damage is working out. I really want to figure out what the rule is regarding damaging armor, but with the blunt trauma rules, and other things, everything seems to be pretty balanced.
Moral of the story: You can't purchase skills with limitations.
