all right welcome to Anna in the air under the sky by the fire and around
0:06
Baltimore your daily podcast briefing of all the goings-on ins and rounds arts
0:09
and ideas Sudbury school so today it was another cold day slightly less cold than
0:18
yesterday so that was nice it's cloudy which was not so nice I do believe there
0:25
might be a fire going to be started soon we got our big inflatable projector
0:31
screen today and we put it up to test that it works and I guess it does we're
0:40
not sure about the wind for that it could catch a lot of wind and that's not
0:47
very heavy but otherwise looks looks nice and good um so yeah we can we can
0:53
do movie night whatever you want so that's cool now we had JC today it was
0:59
actually kind of a bit of a long one we had four cases all kind of varied and so
1:07
that was that was interesting again you know like those who have been here for a
1:16
while you know they're just really good about saying yeah you know that's what
1:22
happened this and that and then gone along with rules and actions debating it
1:27
you know whether it really makes sense or not and you know and accepting it
1:32
when it happens so that's that I also did some role-playing day we've been
1:41
doing role-playing for past few months and today the group started exploring
1:52
this new city where the treasure is this bucket of infinite water though comes
1:58
with the cost drinking from the the bucket starts to turn someone into a
2:05
wraith so don't want to do that too much and pouring the water out well
2:11
priors a sacrifice of life this was all kind of just generated in the game by
2:17
the players that was really fun and so then we had a little adventure around it
2:21
and we'll see what happens next week but yeah it's fun we play a little
2:29
role-playing game called chasing adventures it's based on another game
2:33
called dungeon world which itself is based on apocalypse world game and it is
2:42
a game that kind of still uses dice to determine outcomes but it's much more
2:48
narrative it's much more not necessarily like you succeed you fail and the GM
2:55
kind of drives it it's more like okay you know here's an idea what's the kind
3:03
of background and letting you know players collaboratively create a world
3:08
to make it interesting and then as things happen with the dice you can you
3:22
know like you have partial successes most the time that's what happens you
3:28
have failures where something bad happens not necessarily related to that
3:33
failure you can still kind of succeed and actually have but still lots of bad
3:37
outcomes and of course you can have the successes but it's all supposed to be
3:42
very narratively talked about much more more about that than it's yeah it's it's
3:53
an interesting thing it's kind of like when you watch a show and you know there
3:58
are times when the character succeeds so that leads to something else there are
4:02
the times when they just fail but always leads to something else right it's not a
4:05
dead end it's always kind of narratively going on it just feels very appropriate
4:10
for this kind of school because you know that's what the day is like people doing
4:16
lots of stuff and success and failure are not just you know right and wrong on
4:27
a test it's you know it's it's it's messy and full of story ideas and I mean
4:38
that's just what it is around here right that that's living life and so it's been
4:42
really fun playing that I've been enjoying it and I think the players have
4:46
too so hopefully I can play a story this year and you know we'll see if there'll
4:56
be any appetite for it in the future all right so I think that's pretty much cap
5:03
of the day lots of people out right now two three four five six seven eight like
5:13
fifteen to twenty people out here in the parking lot field area so that's cool
5:19
lots of running and excitement and I know it's always such a delight to see
5:25
this that's good um anyway that's it for today I'll see you when I see you oh
5:34
maybe I failed to mention I did a wondrous Wednesday today and it was on
5:39
cicadas and I was talking random stuff it was kind of cool but I don't really
5:44
know so much look it up skaters cool thanks we're gonna be seeing real soon
5:50
in two months bye bye
