Well, it finally happened. I suffered a depression attack at the same time as players in my online DnD game were getting uppity. The campaign is over, if not in the graceful and triumphant method of past games. Honestly, the rules were interfering with the game. So I changed the rules, posted the changes, and trusted the players to read them. Silly me. Even mechanics they'd used before were alien...
...steady availablilty of Experience out there. I do like that I can go out w/o having to get a party and get away from bard for a bit as well In other FFXI News, I am now 2/3 on Khroma ore Runs. /joy DND: I forgot the being an PC character could be so much fun. Druid is a really solid class that really does not need any prestige class to make it better. Being neutral for the class makes me fell great...
I had a discussion with some FiranMUX players about reward systems in gaming. There's also a Story Games thread brilliantly titled " The reward cycle - who else doesn't give a shit? " that addresses...what everyone else does. Think about the function of each mechanic. Maybe it belongs; maybe it doesn't. The only way to know will be to consider its purpose in the overall design and to playtest it.
Seen in the dnd3e community : When Players Fail Diplomacy Checks You know, a good way to get a DM to work out problems you have with a character build is to insult him at the game table in front...this kind of crap go away.

If that sounds like something you, your kids, your students, or your neighbor Jim would be into, send 'em on over: webcomics.com .
journal 1: lectures and tutes written up. readings started. listening cbf journal 2: yeah, right- not due til after exams lesson plans: almost. i just need to do examples and stuff what i did last night: played dnd. maybe there's a reason i'm so fucked right now!
it's been awhile since I've written things lately have been boring. I have nothing going on in my life. Class bores me to shit. I have tests every week. I hate DnD even though its the best class ever. I hate tests. I'm so sick of studying. That's all that I ever do, and then argh i don't have time for myself really. I barely do. My house is so damn cold. we haven't had time to take the air conditioners...
One of our reading were parts of Sweet Tea , a collection of oral histories of gay black men in the south. The writer talks about how many openly gay black men remain in the South, because they have...he waved at me. Even if I never game with him, I know he's one of my people and he knows I'm one of his people. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I need to start going to the Gaming Guild again.

...off some of the stress of not having money coming in. on another note, I found the gamers in this town, or at least where they hang out and play. Little shop called mind games, hidden back behind Bank of America. one of the people who works there is starting a dnd 4.0 game on sunday. I might go and see whats up with that. I'm not familiar with 4.0, but hey, its gaming and I can always learn.
