A Game, At Last

Bottom line: Had fun. and felt very much appreciated, especially when the resident history expert grilled me while I GMed. I have to say, Nikos can get a Phd in history if he wanted to (he's that good). And I'm surprised to pass many of his questions. Feel pretty good about myself.
Details. Too bad the guys didn't aid the Ventian ship, it would have certainly to their favor it they did. War with Milan has been difficult for the Ventians, even when Florence has allied with them. Much needed supplies or crucial aid when they needed goes a long way. Even if they were on a genoes fleet, a Greek Admiral commanded it, and PCs arguing over piracy in front of a man who was about to lose his homeland was pretty insensitive of the crew.

Other than that, they captured the galleys as they were rowed by slaves happy enough to aid the PCs once the crew jumped ship. They even capture Batahglu Pasha (the Blockade admiral). Eliminating Him would have diminished the number of capable Leaders by One. Capturing him would have given a chance for the byzantines to extract the sultan's plan.

Something I realized that few people didn't in the history books I read. Copying the Crusaders the Mehmet had to move his fleet far from view as he prepared them to modify them for a siege against the sea side wall. Thats why, mysteriously, the last aid the city received was able to run it. There werent enough ships to stop the larger and well armed Genoes ships.

The PCs arrived Just in time, as at April 22 a double siege was attempted as Both the Sea and Land walls were attacked.

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.
