Andrew Pontious<p>And that’s the end of my FIVE WEEK RUN of playing a gaming session every Saturday.</p><p>Two Saturdays of a <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Stargate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Stargate</span></a> SG-1 RPG one-shot — was only supposed to be one, but we needed two sessions to finish.</p><p>Then both a <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Vaesen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vaesen</span></a> one-shot and a <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/CypherSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CypherSystem</span></a> one-shot the same day!</p><p>Then a <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/MasksTheNextGeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MasksTheNextGeneration</span></a> one-shot.</p><p>And finally, today, a <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Dive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dive</span></a> RPG one-shot.</p><p>All the while still running my weekly Sunday <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/CandelaObscura" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CandelaObscura</span></a> and Monday <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Vaesen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vaesen</span></a> campaigns!</p><p>A *bit* much! 😂😂😂</p><p> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/AndrewsTTRPGSchedule" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AndrewsTTRPGSchedule</span></a></p>

One of the most fun sessions I've ever run.</p><p>It was *very* tiring and stressful, I'm glad it's over, but I'm glad I did it!</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/AndrewsTTRPGSchedule" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AndrewsTTRPGSchedule</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/AndrewsTTRPGCampaigns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AndrewsTTRPGCampaigns</span></a></p>
Andrew Pontious<p>Did I mention that I ran this too.
