the girly who shall end all girls

a side-effect of the pandemic has been the perfect storm of boredom and acceptance of virtual meeting technology, which led to me participating in four different "tabletop" RP games across three groups. how's that going now?

in 2020, Friday game moved online. eventually we paused our kind of bleak Star Wars game and moved to playing Savage Worlds superheroes. then in 2021 we switched to a lethal D&D dungeon crawl when the GM got too busy, then picked up the Star Wars game again.

in 2020, the Friday group also started playing through Descent into Avernus on Tuesdays, via Roll20. I joined once I was done with school that November. we finished the complete campaign in late 2021.

in 2021 C and I started playing D&D on Saturdays via Roll20 with friends from college and others - a game played across four US time zones (and elevation from sea level to "high altitude" and corner to corner of the contiguous 48).

at approximately the same time in 2021 we started a FATE game (Trojan war era) with a completely different group of locals on Discord. near the end of the year we transitioned to D&D via Shard.

depending on how schedules lined up (tues and fri weekly, others every other weekish) I either had a steady 3 games a week or 2 a week alternating with 4.

in 2022: Tuesday transitioned to a game set in Savage Worlds' cyberpunk Interface Zero setting. my character for this is a blantant Murderbot rip-off and I love them and their seven itty bitty drones and their arm guns.

Friday Star Wars came to a natural close. the GM literally fulfilled my character bio that I had written in 2019: my character was an Empire war criminal, a True Believer weapons designer who was frozen in carbonite and thawed too late to join the rise of the First Order, looking for a way to Make the Galaxy Great Again... not that the party knew that. I'll remember this one for a long time; she was a full on support character (super badass at mechanics and computers) and hid or ran from combat unless it involved starship gunnery. her last scene was demoing the new technology she had developed to Admiral Thrawn. swoon (we may go back to these characters again someday, but I think she will have to be an NPC. others in the party have devoted themselves to the new republic, so yeah...)

some life stuff has happened to the Tues/Fri fam, so this week we played cyberpunk Tuesday and Friday and will be Friday-only going forward.

Wednesday game (gnome Wizard/Rogue librarian) is chugging along, as is Saturday game (Dwarf champion fighter using the Building Chatacter Gimli build). so three games, three groups, anywhere from 1 to 3 games a week.
