Game Inpired

Inspiration. I'm sure everyone would be sick by now of me raving about mount and blade. Anyway here goes another one.

One of my favorite moments in the game is when I'm facing impossible odds and when i'm on the rescue. Dark Knights are master horsemen (in GURPS terms Ride-17!) all armed with the games best armor. Each knight is worth a squadron of other knights to support (1 knight would be paid around 30s these guys cost 150+ each).

I saved the game (in realistic mode, there is no take backs, thus its auto saves even when you make mistakes, this is a hard game). I am right now the only force facing 68 of them. All my men are wounded and down. but thanks to Spirited Charger these horsemen are scrambling to get me. The peasants i'm rescuing may have some use, I keep the main force occupied the peasants will try to ambush a knight or two every engagement.

While they chased me, I would fire into the fray of steel and earth shaking hooves, and make (this is at night with no artificial lighting) a head shot or two, only to bring the knight to an inch of his life thanks to his incredibly expensive armor. Trying to out maneuver and shoot them on horseback is crazy. No mistakes or they capture kayleen and as a woman, who knows what they will do to her if that happens.

Horses charging at night, navigating her way by moonlight and avoiding the deep shadows of the tree line. Now and then, Kayleen would turn around, and release a shot from her strong bow. She didn't need to look, she didn't have to. They all followed her stupidly, crowding together into an easy target. She just hugs her mount with her legs and uses the horses keen senses to feel the shape of the terrain avoiding inclines that would slow her down and give them a chance to couche a lance at her mount. As ground would plateau she would fire into knights which make up wall of steel and flesh. She would wait to hear that satisfying "thunk" and "squish" before as she spurs her charger to veer in directions, their horses can't. Even if they did manage to cut her off, she would spur her horse forward leaping over the other horses while she brings her lance up to the knights head. Thats a woman, a man's weight in steel and a ton of horse rising over the height of another man on horseback.

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.
