Christmas swag, round 1 |  |
Last night we had a sort of pre-Christmas Eve party, complete with gift exchange. I got some really cool stuff, some of it very, very geeky.
- I got a wine corkscrew set, which looks startlingly like a spaceship of some sort. A wine-opening spaceship. Very cool.
- Apples to Apples. This is, quite possibly, the most fun you can have while you’re drinking. It’s pretty darn fun while you’re sober, too. Score.
- Werewolf: The Forsaken. I liked the WoD rulebook, and I liked Vampire: The Requiem a lot. It stands to reason that I’ll like the new Werewolf game just as much. Expect a review of this at some point.
- Russian Imperial Stout. I got a bottle of this, a full pint, and drank the whole thing last night. It’s dark, dark stuff, like drinking chocolate. I managed to get two full glasses out of this bottle, and after the first one I was pretty tipsy. I found out why a little while later, when I discovered that this stuff was 9.5% alcohol, almost as potent as wine (except that I was drinking a whole bottle by myself). Good stuff.
- Ptolus. That’s right, Ptolus. Monte Cook’s ginormous, 700-page magnum opus of D&D goodness is now in my possession, and it’s mighty impressive. Expect a review, but not for a while; it’ll take me a long time to read this magnificent tome.
And that’s just pre-Christmas Eve. I’ve still got tonight and tomorrow to get through!
Happy Holidays, everyone.
