Random Distractions

The Wandering Distraction Table, for things to interrupt your gaming session. All these are (allegedly) real incidents.

Some highlights:

18: Cat throws up on game supplies. 19: Cat scatters books, papers, dice, miniatures, etc. while being chased by other cat/room-mate/room-mate's-boyfriend/phantom mice.

and this trio of related events

21: Host's room-mate (who's bedroom shares a thin wall with the gaming area) has loud and rowdy sex. 22: Room-mate's-boyfriend crosses game space to bathroom while completely naked. 23: Room-mate crosses game space to bathroom wearing only a towel.

and finally:

40: Player who has left the table to get a drink decides to play with the Victorian hand-cranked centrifuge on the mantelpiece and gets hit by one of the rotating tube holders.
