This Sunday I’m thankful for mysteries. Three in particular.
The first mystery I’m currently interested in is a technical one. I’ve used a reMarkable tablet for years and never had a problem. I love it. Recently my marker has started writing when it is still about a quarter inch from the surface of the tablet. It’s very strange. Neither component has been dropped or banged about.
I have access to another tablet and marker just like mine. I was able to confirm that it isn’t the tablet itself, which is a relief. It’s the marker that is acting up. At least if I have to replace it, it’s the less expensive part of the pair.
The problem is intermittent too, so I’m still able to get work done; and reMarkable is being very helpful with technical support. I hope to soon have an answer and solution. But for now, it is a mystery.
The second mystery is a playable one.
I just discovered this on The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society website. Eternity at Sea is a 1920s Call of Cthulhu adventure that comes in a box full of physical — and audio! — props. It is set in and around Astoria, Oregon. You know, the adventure land of The Goonies! I haven’t played this yet, but I am very intrigued. So, in a sense, this one is in fact two mysteries.
And the third mystery I’m caught up in is trying to find out who made these Crabman figs:
They are straight out of the 1st edition Fiend Folio, pages 20 and 21. They’re perfect actually.
I’m hoping this thread on Lead Adventure Forum can lead me to their lair. So far though, we’re really more filling in who didn’t sculpt or cast them. Ah well. That’s helpful too I guess, in narrowing down the field.
So there you are. This trio of mysteries for which I am thankful is keeping my mind abuzz with what-nows and if-thens.
