Why so long?

Getting Into Settings. I think I have the merit to be called curious. Anyway, I have so many things distracting me. I've gotten a bit into Warhammer 40k, Then there is D20 Modern, Kindling my old Ravenloft flame, Drawing several comics, and my usual pursuits.

Ravenloft. Makes a great GURPS game, especially since the setting is Low Powered and the focus is very different compared to your usual DnD. As a horror setting, there is a tendency to be gritty and realistic. Right now I've begun some work on detailing the setting. My interest peaked especially since this Setting Parallels with alot of elements in Berserk.

Warhammer 40k, Traveler: Interstellar Wars, Fading Suns. Notice something in common? Basically the same elements but done with different flavor. Two are Gothic and leans on Fantasy and the other Sci Fi. I'm resigned not to use GURPS for Sci-Fi settings. Too much to keep track of. Its just a big head ache and escalating.

GURPS Byzantine. Finished the basic sketches on the intro. I've begun on the 1st page but I really have a hard time with background. I'm not a good background artist but I won't stop till it looks like I am. Anyway, the next comic is a 12 page intro to GURPS combat.

I have a little problem with my favorite system. Its complicated and detailed, but it doesn't make enough of an effort to make its concepts more easily understood. I am determined to make it illustrated as much as possible. So I ended up making several templates, illustrating them, a comic to explain certain things and draw in visual interest, and focusing giving a hand to the GM and Player in making character creation as easy as possible..

I know it may be a worthless effort, especially since the forums and the opinions of the people who run it don't see it that way. Still its a great opportunity to learn to make a subject matter interesting to those who wouldn't normally be interested. Its a real challenge a something that can hopefully impress other game publishers.

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.
