Power's Out

No power in the condo. So i'm forced to do my work in public-ish. Planning to draw in the mall instead. Ugg... maybe just find a corner where no one will bother me.
what i have to say about magical items in DnD.
"...And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that *everyone* can have powers. *Everyone* can be Super! And when everyone's Super... no one will be." -Syndrome from the Incredibles
Its just being decked out in magical finery, can make magic a bit over rated. In fact, why not just play a Modern Game?!? Chainmail shirt +4, thats the new Dragonscale armor being developed. Mithril? that titanium. Spider Silk, Thats Kevlar!

Forget Swords and Sorcery. Want the power to level buildings, be a demo expert. Want the power to rain down "fire" on your foes, be an artillerist. Want all the power to command all these various powers, be a Politician with a Propaganda. All it really takes, is just spinning it differently. Seeing the qualities that make it EPIC, Heroic or larger than life. Moments that happen everyday and in every trial in life.

Wanna play sword and sorcery, where swords were the best weapon! then play Roman Era. Swords greater than the length of the gladius was hella'spensive and the best weapons around. Magical armor, The romans had the best armor around, near magical to the eyes of uncivilized barbarians.

Special forging techniques? There was no science to anything. It was all trial and error. Something that worked was already magical.

Trued20. Nice and elegant. Although, it needs a lot more converted material, but still its better then the current system. Its more streamlined. and for guys like me who wants realism, its great. Plan to give it to my cousins.
DnD demographics. 1sp in DnD = $35 in gurps. Levels could have Station attached to it, if not station a demographic ratio to determine how rare it is (made a table for this already).

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.
