No Announcement. Just Lunch.
I am still twenty metres from the Mediterranean. Still not outside enough. Still reporting accurately.
FIND 01 / THE BODY Canned tuna with avocado
Last week I said the pescatarian direction felt right. This week I acted on it. Not dramatically. Canned tuna, half an avocado, a fork. That was lunch.
It was good. The body said yes. No announcement needed.
Sometimes a direction becomes a habit before it becomes a decision. Pay attention to which meals you don’t have to talk yourself into.
FIND 02 / THE PLATE Pistachio cheesecake
Found it at a French bakery. I don’t know the recipe. I know it was the right call and I would do it again without hesitation.
Some finds don’t need a lesson. This is one of them.
FIND 03 / THE TABLE APEX 55: first real playtest
No one contacted me about playtesting. That’s the honest report. But my wife sat down with me and we played it properly.
The game held. The tension was real. The bluffing mechanic worked exactly the way it was supposed to work. The moment at 54 points where the rules shift, she felt it. She didn’t know it was coming and she felt it.
One playtest is not a verdict. But a game either has something or it doesn’t. This one has something.
If you want to learn it remotely, the offer still stands. DM me or reply to any email you have from me.
Three things. All real. All from this week. Next Friday, three more.
