Not a big deal, no apology needed. It may be just as well...what I had planned was going to be largely centered on Luminii intrigue and politics, which kind of gets away from the point of Tivili celebrations in Dreven.

I might save it for another time, make an event out of it.

Perhaps we ought to postpone a week. Unless Luminii does have something she put time and effort into planning that can be used tonight...? Though I didn't get that impression from any posts that something was ready to go, from anyone, actually.

It looked to me as though we have several folks UNABLE to attend. Maybe in another week or so, Bliss and Ami and Kai's players will all be able to actually be around for the celebration.

What's a little in-character date fudging amonst friends?

I'm all for postponement. It's not like we haven't done it before.

Let's go with next Tuesday.

I think postponement sounds like a good idea at this point. Tonight's shift will be a regular one, in the tavern.

Is there a dice command for the chatzy room if we have to use it?

Willing (if not completely ready) to run the foot-race!

Pie eating contest rules!

There will be three rounds: Meat pies, winter apple pies, and pies made of dried cranberries with nuts and honey.

Roll on d 6
1 - The whole pie is eaten without complication
2 or 3 - The whole pie is eaten, but with minor difficulty
4 - 3/4 eaten with no problem, the rest is harder.
5 - Half the pie eaten, the other half may or may not be eaten
6 - Can't eat more than half, likely get ill from overstuffing!

Lowest total score will win the contest!

Rules for the Footrace!

This is a simple contest: the RACERS line up at the green banner with the white hawthorn blooms and red trim. They will race three laps around the Market Square, banners marking the turns to complete the circuit. They will be challenged by the other Racers as well as a treacherous JUMP: a wooden wicket gate! The FIRST Racer to complete THREE LAPS WINS.

A D-20 is rolled by each Player. A roll of 6 or better means the Racer cleared the jump cleanly. A roll of 5 or lower means the jump was botched. Subtract 5 points from that Racer's LENGTH LEAD (see next paragraph).

Each player then rolls a D-20 to complete the FIRST LAP-this number represents the lengths that Racer leads by. That is that Racer's LENGTH LEAD.

In laps two and three the jump is considered harder because the racers are winded. A roll of 9 or better means the racer has cleared the wicket easily. 8 or lower means a botched jump.

Each player then rolls a D-20 to complete the SECOND LAP. Add the number rolled to the Racer's LENGTH LEAD.

On to the final lap… and the FINAL JUMP! And of course, clearing the wicket gate is harder yet for all the running! Each player rolls a D-20. A roll of 12 or better clears the jump successfully. A 11 or lower is a botch-that player subtracts 5 points from their LENGTH LEAD.

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME!

Each Player rolls a D-20 for their Racer's final LENGTH LEAD. Add that to the previous number… and mothers kiss your babies, we should have our VICTOR!

The pie eating contest is postponed until Thursday.

Big thanks to those who ran the games! Cool change of pace.
