TFT Death Test 2, or, Dead Again

Our 2nd run through this programmed adventure left us dead in the 2nd room. Again. And we even had 6 characters, 3 each. One got killed in the Black Room with the skeletons - they had a couple lucky hits, we did not. The next room we rolled up the mercenaries, and unfortunately for us they got 2 big bruisers with really good dexterity (which hindsight, I just realized when we rolled up the armor, we forgot to adjust their dexterity for attacks!) We died in that room. Next time we try this, I'm getting some 36- or 38-point characters with more armor. We just picked random character cards from the card deck I backed years ago. See - using my toys!

Skeletons attack!

On the bright side, I do have a lot of skeleton minis - a whole bunch of metal ones from the 80s as well as a lot of plastic ones from various Kickstarters. I can field a small army of them.

I am still looking for a job, 2 months on. Being 62 in the IT world, and all the crazy things that is happening in this field now, means it is a lot harder than it used to be. 176 applications out, 30 or so actual rejections, and at a guess, 20% of those jobs are "ghost" jobs: not real but put out there for any number of reasons. And I've been almost scammed twice - a few people ruin it for everyone else. And preying on vulnerable people is just so wrong. But I'll give it another month, then see about some job at a WalMart, Lowes or something. I can put boxes on shelves! But I've been lucky in many ways: the 1st time I got laid off about 15, 20 years ago I learned several valuable lessons about always being prepared. I am not in any sort of dire financial straits, and technically I could retire now. But I am just not ready to retire. I actually like working. Guess technically being a baby boomer does that for you - it has been engrained upon us that working hard pays off. Sadly, I feel that is no longer the case, but now we are getting maudlin and potentially veering into political stuff, so, distraction: spaceships!

Even unemployed, I did back for more little spaceships. One of these days we'll play something where we can use them! I no longer back at the posters unless it is something really different - at this point I have probably 100 or so posters and have only used 4 or so!
