Hogwarts game

[cmdr_zoom]

I'll echo what naudiz and miladycarol have already said: tonight's session was amazing and epic. Not least because my character, who's been overwhelmed and/or miserable ever since coming to Hogwarts, finally had his long-anticipated breakdown and got to come back from it in a righteous and unexpected fashion, confronting and defeating his demons (quite literally). I'm so proud of him. Thanks also to Portia - he couldn't have done it without her at his back. That's two he owes her.

(Oh, and those other guys helped too. ;)

Props to sbloss once again for a great game.

*grins* I'm learning that that is what I do, or will do, when I learn what it is that I know how to do. *looks confused for a moment, shakes it off and smiles pleasantly* Oh, and I'm not counting. Maybe our almighty GM is, but I'm not.

I was thinking of Han's playful line to Luke in Echo Base's infirmary. :) Though now another scene comes to mind:

INT. HOGWARTS - DAY

The stairs at the foot of the Ravenclaw tower. As the crowd of students in their robes and vests and blue ties spills out into the corridor on their way to morning classes, Jason - looking weary, but not as beaten down - catches sight of Portia waiting for him.

Jason stops in front of Portia, suddenly awkward; he hesitates and fidgets like the 11-year-old boy he is. Portia smiles faintly and leans forward to gather him into a hug. Jason winces - he still hurts all over - then relaxes into it a little.

JASON: (shyly) That's two I owe you now.

PORTIA: (serenely) I'm not counting.

Pull back as the stream of Ravenclaw students flows around the two friends like an island of calm. An older boy pauses to give them an odd glance, then shrugs and continues on.

(and cut to Desdemona conversing with Lupin, I suppose :)

How sweet! Yes, that's it! Whatever happens, we will be fine. It doesn't matter what the fates toss at us, here we have each other. Portia's never had friends before that weren't characters in some book. Hogwarts is a special place. A zany, madcap, special place.

Now I'm jealous...

... I'd love to play in a Hogwarts game. I'm currently running my son and his cousin in a game using similar elements ("Adventurer's Academy" is my name for the setup; based on my own world of Zarathan)
