On Sunday, I had some friends over, and we played Heat. It was my first time with the game, and I found it to be a lot of fun.

There's just enough strategy in managing your car's "heat" level. Take on too much, and you'll stall out. Don't take enough risk, and the other players will pull ahead. I accurately captured the tension of racing video games. "Do I floor it and come into the turn quickly, risking spinning out? Or do I brake and take it safely but lose my place?"

My Swords of the Serpentine have become absence-cursed. We have had a few weeks now where we haven't been able to play. Bit sad as it sucks energy and I really want to give a GUMSHOE system a good run for its money.

The ICON game I'm in is marching slowly ahead. Emphasis slowly. We are so very new to it that combats takes just so much time. On the other hand fighting is what it has going for it. And the combat is good, really good. So not complaining too much.

Also playing in a Burning Wheel game where things are marching on. Good group and good play but sometimes wish we would have less roleplay and more rolls to close out scenes. Next session we do start with a Duel of Wits, possibly a three way duel of wits.
