You know what's really 'unfathomable'? That it's the third time I play this game and I ALWAYS get turned evil halfway through I just want one full round of self-righteous "good person" fun, please
It's been a good day for boardgames! Played 6 games today with a bunch of lovely people and had a blast :D
Finished varnishing my little medieval coasters I've been working on as I'm learning pyrography 😁 It's been fun to make them, and I'm getting a sense of what level of detail I can get done on crappy wood like this.

"I'm going to quickly repaint the dining room" turned into a bigger project (surprise, surprise) - but it's livable again now. Just need to sort out pictures for the wall (aka match the many antique maps around the house to the many frames I keep buying)
