You'd expect when playing a game about mages, that when you investigate a haunted house, you are going to run into spirits and the like. What you don't expect is running into an old woman with a guilty conscience, a medication problem, and a drafty house with lots of loose boards and leaky pipes. Welcome to the last chapter of our Mage game. Our storyteller spun up an adventure that had zero combat, zero supernatural beasties, just a good old fashioned role playing mystery. In fact, nothing out of the ordinary would have happened at all if one of the players and NPC's botched a magic roll and fell into the spirit world! Their accident led us to another much more supernatural hook, and only cost them a very upset stomach.

Congratulations to Couplingchaos for tackling complicated stories like a veteran on your maiden flight as Storyteller.

I went to the Royal BC Museum in Victoria this week, and they've got a replica of part of Captain Cook's sailing ship in one section. It's pretty dim in there, with a sound track of breaking waves and sea birds, and as I stepped into the main room I thought I saw a ghost - a woman was standing there, perfectly still, in a long oldifashioned dress. It turned out that there was a Mennonite or Amish group in that section, and she was a real live person, but I still edged around her, just in case. :)
