Lotsa good news lately... how... WEIRD

[svensson]

Been a week full of good news for a pleasant change of pace.

- My niece, the one I'm teaching RuneQuest, has gone back to school... First quarter carrying a full load of 12 credits, got all A's! VERY proud of her.

- I referee a Traveller game every week and one of my players, the very first Active Duty officer I've ever met who was a gamer, just got promoted to Captain!

- My wife's job is really appreciating her work and they just proved it the best way possible 😉😉

- And this will allow us to help a couple friends who need it... something we try and do every year.

I dunno what I did right to be surrounded by good news and happy people, but I'm sure it was an accident...

What spell might one learn from it if defeating it in spirit combat?

Baron 'Ebeneezer' Wulfraed, I presume? 😆😅

Army captain, or real-money captain? 🙂

(Sorry, but inter-service nonsense seemed especially on-brand for Traveller!)

Well, according to the 2021 pay scale, she'll be pulling in $5523 or 6023 per month. Which is a pretty good slice of pie no matter which shugilli cooked it 😆

How to give presents.

My mind was on the incongruity of getting a "friendship" oriented spell by using combat...

Hoist by my own obscure-reference petard!  Had to google what a shugilli is!  (Other than Scots for a wee bit wobbly.)

Funnily enough I was just watching the TV version of Catch-22.  Even more captain-inflation than the 'proper' army, if such a thing can be imagined! 🙂

Well, I'm a certified Traveller Old Geek and Grognard, just as I am with RQ. Let's just say that my gaming shelves have ALL my RQ and Traveller stuff out on the shelf. The rest of the games can live [well cared for] in boxes. 😆

Nah, keeping your eyes, ears, and heart open is no accident.  We approve, comrade.
