    None of them have stumbled upon the 'buy up any property and all the houses' strategy yet?

    That was everyone's strategy. But Coop was the first one lucky enough to get houses on all his property and as he was converting to hotels Abby went bankrupt. She had bankrupted her mom earlier.

    I should have been more clear... I was talking about the one where you buy up housesand dump them on any property you can, but purposely don't upgrade to hotels. It's apparently supposed to prevent other players from developing their properties much at all since there's only 24 houses or something. Haven't played in ages, but I have seen this strategy repeatedly posted as clickbait.

    Ahhh...against the spirit of the rules I think. I'd issue more houses.

    Is it? Seems like monopolizing the houses would be very much in the spirit of dickery. We should discuss over lunch tomorrow or Friday.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

Life is short and unfair.

Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
