The final session of The Watch was anticlimactic in something of a good way. I don't think any of us doubted that we'd succeed in the final battle, so it was more about tying up narrative loose ends: We knew Lufu wanted to die dramatically, and she did. Dalu had already declared her love for Pylldu so more than anything it was a question of what sort of arrangement they'd end up with at the end. And Corporal Grandma, well, I guess we all just hoped she'd stay out of the way but she actually proved of some worth in the fight, so yay.

I just started looking at the materials for Nahual in earnest yesterday and I'm feeling a surge of enthusiasm I haven't felt in forever. I'm realising just how very much I've missed playing with rich real-world settings instead of cities and countries we just cobble together on the fly and I plan to stretch everyone's limited patience with my pedantry until it frays. I know what neighbourhood I want our changarro to be in, I know what I want it to be called, I know what pictures are on the wall, I know what our specialty is--and I don't care if you don't care about any of this.

When JB chose the incredibly promising setting of the Castro in the 70s, I held back and waited to see what he would make of it. The answer was, "Not much." So I'm not waiting; I'm insisting. We're capping the campaign at only three sessions so I figure everyone will be able to simply grit their teeth for a while. Plus there'll be a new player so I expect everyone to be on their best behaviour. What's the worst that could happen?
