After two weeks of nothing, I have a week with three games! Assuming that nothing happens to Exia, that is. Our GM apparently had a date with a hot massage therapist last night and hasn't been heard from since ;)
Still, both Legacy of the Ancients and Five Kingdoms both had really great dramatic endings, which had some sort of strange parallels. In both games we're going off to stop evil cultists, and we just turned level 6 at the end of both sessions. In LotA, the evil cultists are baby thieves who ripped the unborn child from one of the PC's wombs and implanted it in another woman so they can use it to birth their evil Goddess - the Dark Temptress- back into the world. We are under impetus to stop this on a number of levels, personal and religious. meanwhile, NPCs will be having a big wizard fight! In FK, the Elder Gods (yes, those Elder Gods) are trying to wake back into the world, and they, or their servants (it isn't quite clear) have woken *something* under the fresh earthquake-y ruins of Friestadt, capital city of the empire. We've been mandated by the gods to go and stop it, "with faith and steel." Exciting!
So both stories ended on a dramatic note, and of course I now have character leveling to do, including picking feats (both are D&D system, although both have a lot of home rules to make the setting more unique, and of course FK has the Mythos in there). So basically what this all boils down to is that even without Exia tonight yet my brain is full of gaming, which will make it hard for me to concentrate on finishing my paper!
