Grinder happened.

Holy crap was that fun. Holy CRAP was that a lot of work.

A full write-up is still forthcoming (we didn't get audio/video for those playing along at home, but there are transcripts of a sort, coming as soon as we fill in the blanks where we were laughing too hard/moving too fast to write).

The highlights, though:

• Saturday Morning Cartoons are infinitely better without the fun-squishing influence of Standards & Practices.
  
• Too many episodes, especially if they're going to be that combat-heavy. Next time, maybe fewer episodes with longer time frames (an hour and a half was probably unrealistic, at least for 3.x).
  
• Yes, I did say next time. But not soon; Jaysus Christo Jones that was a lot of work to put together.
  
• Moral ambiguities/branching points have no real place in Saturday Morning Cartoons.
  
• Six laptops + 15 people = at least a 10° temperature differential between the main room and the thermostat. I'm surprised we didn't develop any weather patterns...
  
• We still have Mountain Dew left over. How is that even possible?
  
• The unicorn lived, amazingly (though that may be because he scarpered on several episodes entirely).
  
• Best. Death Scenes. Evar.
  
• Tiamat Piñata at 1AM, in the yard, with swords. Brilliant!
  

Now, shower, lunch, church, and the rest of my life back.

Thanks everyone for playing along!

*grin* Always glad to help, man. :)

Pirates went rather well, considering grmrefr and Mr. Melodrama were the only two players that showed. *sigh* We still had a lot of fun though, and Mr. Melodrama, even though he lost, gave grmrefr a real run for his money - and if it hadn't been for some sucktacular d6 rolls, he would have beaten grmrefr!!! I continue to be impressed with the playing strategies and techniques and skills that both have...

Ya'll should come out sometime, if you have any interest in playing. :)
