Sunday: Wild Beyond the Witchlight is a bust. The kids were gung-ho until the first session and a half, and then every week someone wouldn't want to or not be available. I'll refocus my efforts, but I think this would be a good one to try again if we can set up an in person play space to hold their attention. I want to eventually get a gaming table in the basement, roll real dice and try running games like that.
Monday: Van Richten's Unfinished Business. This tour of Ravenloft domains is currently the group's favorite night. It's slow going and driven by interpersonal drama, with the encounters and overall story arc as a backdrop. I have to delve a lot into old edition books to decide what's happening in each domain. Even with the new Ravenloft book out they give very little to go on to drive a full campaign story. I'm getting the hang of weaving content together - every level we meet a whole new cast of characters in a new setting and it's a lot of fun.
Tuesday: My day off while a fellow DM runs their Dragonlance campaign - I've reinstated game nights for my union siblings and there's talk of using the office for proper board games and TTRPG fun.
Wednesday: My wife is about to spin up her Crooked Moon campaign. I get to play as a main character, a skeletal ranger with San Citlanese roots. She's got Day of the Dead decorations and a coyote sidekick, and it'll be a big swing at trying to play a serious character invested in the story.
Thursday: The Phandalin campaign continues, missing some sessions as players are unavailable, but I get to tag along to run the soundboard and help with prep. It's fun watching my wife do her thing and mess with characters, and we have a great time brainstorming together as a team.
Friday: My paid game, Sword Coast Ramblers, is still my favorite project. Chopping up all the 5e hardcover adventures and throwing their chapters onto an open world map is admittedly an insane undertaking but the players are having a great time uncovering plots and weaving them together.
Saturday: We're about to run our finale for the 4th season of Adventurer's League with its ties to Curse of Strahd, and move on to the 5th season themed around Storm King's Thunder. The players are coming up with characters and I look forward to leveraging some of the new backgrounds and faction details from the Heroes of Faerun book.
So that's where the dice are at! Let's keep rolling and enjoying good times and stories with people we love.
