Family is Sick

Got sick on Friday with a High Fever, 38.6C Aug 10 and now chat's sore throat has gotten worse. It appears niko is the vector since had this bacterial infection a while. I had sorethroat friday and could not go to work incapacitated but got better after I slept at around 2pm-6pm around the time Chat brought home some Korean Stew which caused me to sweat, cool, and my fever lapsed. Prior to that I had to take a Biogesic to keep the fever down and allow me to move around. Every time I moved and got back to rest my head was throbbing with pain.

I bought GURPS Hot Spots: Constantinople 500-1200AD. I'm considering buying GCA but I'm checking if it works in my ubuntu's (laptop and desktop) and what I plan to do with it.

Niko is doing better and I have found a way so that he would like to kiss daddy's cheek. Basicaly I do weird things that make him laugh when he does that makes a feedback loop that causes him to want to see more and tries to kiss me again. It sometimes works. :P

I have some good opportunities in work these days but i got too sick and the flood did a number on them. I still have a bad and phlemmy cough. I feel like I can relapse into sore throat if I'm not careful. So I'm keeping a lot of vitamins and carefull about over-exertion and dehydration.


So I have a bunch of Projects. Right now I don't have the time to game, so I spend my time building up GM material. There has been a lot of obstacles lately; one big obstacle is my health. I get sick easily. This year I'm on my 6th episode of getting sick. Sick meaning incapacitating sickness. Yesterday it was a fever of 38.6C with a strong pulsating headache, the week before that my wife and I just recovered from measles, and couple of weeks before that gastroenteritis/aka stomach flu.

My projects are varied

Ancient Era: The First Crusade Introduction - Introduction to the First Crusade. 30+ pages at about 30k words since there is no art.
Ancient Era: The First Crusade Game Rules - Rules most relevant for the Setting. 30+ pages at about 30k words same as above.
Ancient Era: The First Crusade Adventure - Adventure written for Newbie GMs, in the style of explicit directions. 30+ pages
Ancient Era: The First Crusade Grand Scale Adventure - Adventure written with stats that allow for a campaign with Controlling Armies, Court Maneuvering and Some Strategy and Economics. 30+ pages
Map of for the First Crusade: 11C Byzantine Empire and the Levant 41 US letter sized hex map in 32km per hex scale. Usable for. 41+ pages.

I use a formatting and style similar to Libre Office's Operations Manual, because its Creative Commons.

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.
