I am going set up my post for it today. I am hoping that will make it clearer because I will have to dissect it a bit better.

Oh I love Black Velvet :)

Yeah I think I will fumble my through it until I pick up the rules. I think it will be a lot of fun once I understand how it works better.

Looking forward to hearing what you think of it Justin - it took me a little while to get used to the writing style, but I am really enjoying it now.

Has anyone tried the Role-playing Game Challenge before?. I've signed up for this year's because it looks like a lot if fun, but it all seems very complicated.

Emma it is fun, but I'm hosting it, so it's going to be an evening of drunken idiots singing out of tune, and pretending to like it lol"

You must see some hilarious things on occasion though. Plenty of people making fools of themselves I would expect :)

The Colour of Magic: chapter - the Sending of Eight

After a quick break over Xmas I finally managed to get back to The Colour of Magic. I have to say I much preferred this next section of the book as the humour seemed to have ramped up a bit. I absolutely love Twoflower's picture box demon and Hrun's sword Kring. (view spoiler)[ I also love the idea of the characters lives being determined by the role of a dice during a game being played by the Gods (hide spoiler)]

Karaoke sounds fun though :)

Would anyone be interested in the any of the following for a buddy read:


YA


Adult

Ok, it's the 1st January, so time for me to get started :)
