missizzyIn the past, the inhabitants of DC has observed the phenomenon known as the DC snow hole, where the snowstorms constantly miss us. We might be lucky enough to have a hurricane hole, too. The wee hours of Wednesday morning did wake us up with a very loud and scary lightning storm, and there were some downpours, but nothing that was going to cause any trouble. I even went to my D&D session as usual Wednesday night, though two of the participants offered me a ride home since walking back still wouldn't have necessarily been the best idea.
I had heard, of course, that the best events in D&D happen when the plan goes awry. I'd even watched a few examples of it played out at the top talent level. But it's the sort of thing you only really get when it happens to you. When your plan is for your rogue to disguise himself as someone else, which he never gets around to doing, your wizard comes up with some truly wild distractions that completely steal the session, the seer you're trying to rescue rejects you and says some very grim cynical things that rubs your character's backstory very much the wrong way, and you all end up bursting out of the pirate ship, most of you (including your wolf) in gas form, and the guy with the ability to fly dangling one other member of the party plus your NPC zombie buddy.
On the ride home, we talked about possibly forming a text thread to discuss things in between sessions away from the DM. But mostly we were just coming down, I think.
