Being old means being tired all the time

it speaks volumes. When you come to understand your perspective of your parents and why they are that way when your married and settled in. When once you were full of energy and now you conserve it for the priorities we may not really want to do (or is very hard to do).

Resting Day. Sat and Sun are resting days and are best spent at home taking a break from the stress that will come on the weekdays. Right now I'm just writing my GURPS player material. Mount and Blade has just made me craving for a George R.R. Martin style medieval game.

I'm hoping to be able to lay it out into a 100 page booklet with a lot of art. Some RPG in your Art Book. A heavily illustrated RPG is something the Game publishers should consider when the cost of outsourcing artists is having more bang for buck. A book where every concept comes with an Illustration is nothing new, its just the cost and deadlines that can be a problem.

Reviving EAS as a realistic dark age setting with no magic or no supernatural aspect is quite exciting for me. My better grasp of history has allowed me to appreciate how distorted or interesting those times were. Thanks for GRRM to allow me to appreciate aspects i thought i was as a pedestrian wouldn't understand or appreciate.

Anyway its going to be a long time before the booklet is done. However more and more of it will be visible since i will be posting the art on my deviant account. I've tried to figure out the numbers and i think 1/3 to 1/2 the booklet is art. Art from the Maps (setting map, lands, and typical locations; Portraits of NPCs, archetypes, occupations, peoples, cultures etc..; the Technical art: arms, armor, heraldry, horses, animals, etc.).

Some people assemble models, i guess i assemble a portfolio/ rpg booklet.

Thanks for Diggnation, i know there is a program called rastorbator that allows large images to be broken down smaller printable pages. Maps is my current focus given this little project (EAS). After the map momentum should be up and running.

I can color well now. Well... pretty competently. I recently learned how to do the semi-transparency and remember how to do skies now. Landscapes are down the line.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
