    I love these. Thanks for doing this, Will!

    What did the second guy (Albert?) say, though. I heard 'Crazy Kurtz Castle out up on that hill'.

    I wasn't there, but I assume that based on where Nerdly Beach Party took place that he is saying "Hearst Castle".

    That was great. I hope more people start to do this!

    Note to self: Montsegur + actual fire = win.

    Maybe they were playing a game of The Mountain Witch where the characters were reporters trying to make it up the hill and through the castle to interview the elusive Randolph Hearst. Do you trust the others not to file their story before you?

    Albert was talking about the Hearst Castle, the actual place an appearance of it in a game.

    I will run this at Nerdly Beach Party V.

    I'm sad I didn't get to make it this time around, but it looks like folks had a good time!

    I totally want to play the campfire version of Montsegur.

    I wanted to make the trip down the coast so badly... maybe next time. Every time I see one of these "One Cool Thing"s, it tugs at me a little harder.

    "Montsegur Beach Party!"

    ...unwholesome.

    I wouldn't call it the best NBP we've had yet. The wind was harsh, and we had fewer people than usual who Brought Game as opposed to just wanting to join game. But it was still a good time, and I'm looking forward to the next one in late September.

    Yeah, I went up to Hearst Castle on Saturday morning. That place is insane. Imagine you've got an art history degree, a good architect, an unlimited budget, and lived in an era where people were much more cavalier about selling their cultural heritage. Now go build your dream house.

    There's another NBP in September? That is awesome. Short of U.F.O. abduction, I will be there.

    After 20+ minutes, we mutually decided to break off the staring contest when a large, noisy group of people came down the path.

    The funny thing was that every so often one of the deer would start to relax and do something else, only to realize that the other deer was still staring. That chastened the first deer back into watching me. Then a few minutes later the other deer would start to get bored and do exactly the same thing.

    Yep. Probably 2-3 weekends after labor day. We usually set the date a couple of months in advance, so keep an eye out around here, or go ahead and join the NBPIV google group to get the update when it comes.
