Sleep 0430 to 1100 (6-1/2 hours)
- Gloomhaven with all four players. My Mindthief is now setup as a controller but I only have 2 (of 10?) controller cards in my deck: One with make enemy our ally for a turn (range 3); a second with the same (range 5) OR let adjacent ally attack 4 (with any bonuses I have which is usually +2 attack so effectively attack 6). Turn enemy for a turn is burn and ally attacks is reusable and I managed to use it twice but my play style I'm usually not near allies who are also near enemies.

Sleep 0515 to 1315 (8 hours)
- Received my Braun 8577cc shaver. The user manual is crap. Only drawings showing how everything works and no text. I looked to see if there any other Braun manuals but nope other versions are also all drawings. Mostly miffed because some of the drawings don't make sense to me. Oh and the power connector did change so good thing I didn't go with buying a replacement power supply.

- Worked on updating operating budget and sent it and reserve study to board with some explanations so they can look at it before Thursday's HOA meeting. Now I need to work on the cover letter.

Sleep 0015 to 0115, 0715 to 1315 (7 hours)
- Received my copy of Warlock Knight (a Dungeon Fantasy solo adventure). The adventure is 56 pages (8"x10" booklet) with a 56-page monster book with all the monsters you fight. This reminds me that Douglas Cole of Gaming Ballistic said he has to revert the company back to a part-time effort. Tough to make it a go as a real company with three obscure product lines: a D&D 5E setting, TFT adventures, Dungeon Fantasy supplements. It's also high quality products which must not help his margin.

Sleep 0030 to 0200, 0730 to 1415 (8-1/4 hours)
- There's a Humble Bundle for 7th Sea RPG but after reading this rpg.net thread I decided not to even consider buying it.

Sleep 2330 to 0245, 0830 to 1300 (7-3/4 hours)
- After a night working on some Reserve Study changes I backed Ars Magica Definitive Edition (physical copy for $150). BackerKit ends later today.
- Amazon shutting down Freevee. Not sure how this affects me. I watch Freevee using Amazon Prime Video app and I guess those shows will still be available in for free without Freevee branding and maybe with more commercials.

Sleep 0100 to 0630, 1200 to 1415 (7-3/4 hours)
- I bought the Mutants & Masterminds 3E bundle which is a coupon for all the books on DriveThruRPG. One thing I realized is that the order page which shows all the items you can download... For any given product only the first thirty items are listed. Luckily you can go to the product page itself which lists all the items and you can download them individually. Matters because Emerald City and Hero High both have lots of Hero Lab (I assume) individual files whereas other products zips them up into one file.
