Slowly getting ready

A game is a far priority for me. Especially since I have no players. Actually I'm planning to buy the Torque Game Engine when I find the time to tinker with it and immerse myself in game design proper. So far I'm trying to make an effort to get into the game mindset.

When I prep the game, I don't really have any players but I know do want to run a game (for old times sake). I want to run Dark Age medieval, either the Crusades with Alexius/Alexoi. I've read up enough about the crusades, thanks to Thomas' gift of a whole book that details it and I have a huge reserve of material and sources of extras.

The audio books I've been listening to has helped maintain some of my narration skills. In terms of organizational skills and story, my knowledge of the matter has not changed much but is way more than sufficient. I have to admit that the preparation I make borders on true passion and I have to say only few other GMs I know study so hard and they are scattered in europe, australia and the midwest. Specifically in organization, I've improved much. the DnD4e books Gaspar got me, helped reinforce priorities as understand more about player expectation. Truth be told, it is ALL about Expectations and understanding that has helped me both in the career I am striving for and my games in the future.

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.
