Every time I’m writing the Queue, it’s either late at night or early in the morning so I can get it done before the day gets going, and I often would rather be napping. Fridays, after all, are the slide into the weekend where you can catch up with all the sleep you’ve missed out on over the week. So it should be nap time… but I have to get get this done first.

So let’s answer some questions, and then we can all have a nice Friday nap. Yeah! Let’s Queue!

Okay. I admit, I may have panicked about Chaddius a little too quickly. Chaddius only takes a break up by the lake when he’s Steward of the Day, which can only happen when there’s a calling in Bastion. So Chaddius was never exactly missing — it just wasn’t his day off to chill with a box of wine.

Because, really, that’s the kind of day off that we all want.

But I haven’t seen him since I started my quest. Which either means I managed to miss his day even though I thought I was paying attention, or he’s having a really long workweek. So I hope Chaddius gets a break soon so I can go say hi.

But while we wait for Chaddius, let’s get to the Queue.

It’s grand theft Chaddius over here, but Team Blizzard Watch is on the case. We’re going to rebrand the site into Chaddius Watch and post wall-to-wall coverage of this tragedy. We’re going to post missing persons fliers all over Bastion. We’re going to put Chaddius’ face on milk cartons. We’re going to make sad tribute videos that force the world to take notice. We aren’t going to stop until this Steward is safely brought back home.

Another week passes and another Friday arrives, just like every Friday before it.

But let’s not get bogged down in the little monopolies of life. Let’s answer some questions.

We’ve been in the hero business for a while now… but maybe it’s time to stop, take a break, and grow some pumpkins.

…no? Well, we can still dream.

It’s so cold outside that even my eyeballs feel cold, which is pretty gosh-darned cold. And I know this because Abby refuses to go outside alone, so I have to walk with her, even the many times she wants to walk outside for long enough to decide she doesn’t want to be outside, then turn around and come back inside, then repeat again when she’s forgotten she didn’t want to go out in the cold. In short, I’m spending an above average amount of time walking around outside, so I can say without a doubt that it is very cold.

But enough about that. Let’s answer some questions.

Hm… I’m sure something comes after that. Well, anyway, it’s probably not important. Let’s talk about games.

Come one, come all this weekend's D&D game, streaming this Saturday on Twitch at 2:30PM Central, where we'll be playing our third session of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, where the party is exploring a mysterious Fey carnival.

Friday, where do you come from? Where do you go? It sneaks up like a flash, and then it vanishes without a trace. Weird how that seems to happen every week.

It’s the first Friday of 2022, and I hope you are all having a good one. I plan to celebrate the day with a nice nap in a sunbeam, like a cat. Except it’s supposed to be overcast, so there might not be any sunbeams. So maybe just a nap under a nice blanket. Naps are great, and I hope all of us have had a nice nap in 2022.

But let’s take a break from napping to answer some questions.
