Expectations.



Sci Fi. I know what you mean about artificial gravity, I meant the thing they use in interstellar hard science ships. Traveller is pretty hard sci but the gravity plates and the myriad reactionless thrusters just get to me. Its like me playing fantasy or watching starwars, there are a bunch of BLEEPS that flash "WRONG" when I see it.

Like in Starwars episode 2 where the Jedi storm in to save Anakin etc. for beings with INCREDIBLE forsighte they're DUMB as bricks. Modern military tactics and wisdom just marks alot of decisions in red (Not just the creative ones). CLone ARMIES, why not RAT armies. Why clone a HUMAN when a race similar to rats would be more effective as Grunts. And the losses to the Jedi, the cost to train a Jedi compared to a simple soldier stretches my suspenders of disbelief. Its like a kid plugging 110 into 220, its all the same to a kid but its going to screw with his hard ware plenty.


Hindsight. B171 your base skill measures your odds of success at an "average" in a stressful situation where the consequences of failure are significant. Eg. Battles and chase scenes, Races against the clock, situations where your health, freedom, finances, or equipment is at risk.

Its a quote right under my nose. Just at the beginning of the skills chapter.

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.
