*glares at the sky*
Look, you. I very rarely have weather requests. I am usually just grateful that flaming meteors and/or livestock are not falling from the sky on a regular basis. That being said, I really, really do NOT want to camp in the mud and rain this weekend. Oh, I will if I have to. Its just my preference that it not be a re-enactment of any of the Flood mythos this weekend, mmkay?

Thanks!

Last night’s game was productive if not terribly exciting. I wish people would pull their collective heads out of their asses, stop contantly whining about what they want and how if we would just do what they want, the game would be so much more uber, etc. etc. Its annoying. Hopefully, with the meeting we had there will be more of a consensus and less stupidity happening. We shall see. I really love gaming with the majority of this group. There are one or two players that make me want to smack ’em, but that’s pretty much the norm in *any* gaming group.

*geek alert, unless you’ve played in this setting, this may not make sense*

Its a RiFtS game — totally fun; mercenary type setting in an apocolyptic world. I’m playing “Hal’oween”. She’s a true Atlantean Crazy. Her particular psychosis is that she believes that she is an Undead Slayer (hero complex). So she tends to walk around with her one arm canted over her breast and the other trailing behind. Think old, serial comic-book hero walking around like he’s got theme music and you’ll get the idea. Of course, she *does* have theme music. The mods in her head – the things that make her Crazy – are fully capable MP3 type players. EVERYthing she does has its own theme music, setup by the mad docs who put the enhancements in, in the first place. She didn’t sign up for the mods like most do. Oh, no. She was experiemented upon by body-shop docs working for the Splugies. She doesn’t even *know* that she’s been modified.
Oh, and her name? Yeah, she took it from the battered card she found when she woke up. It read “Happy Hal’oween”. Since she was happy – albeit a trifle sore – she figured it was describing her and therefore that was her name. The details…*big non-blinky eyes* …the details are NOT important.
Gotta love being an insane hero.

Tonight must accomplish:

Laundry — all washed, dried, folded and put away
Bags pulled out and sorted
>>>> Clothing bag
>>>> Toiletries bag
>>>> Misc. bag (cards, pens, paper, books, lamps/flashlights, etc.)
Music CD’s made
Floors swept/mopped, vacuumed

Ok, there’s not much to do here. Let’s try to get this done, mmmkay?

  1. ugh.. god.. I love Rifts, but I must be a really strict GM because I don’t allow giganto-superpowered ZOMG your skin is MDC ARMOR LOLZ! kind of stuff.

    I know that’s how the game is set-up, but I like my Rifts to be gritty, dirty, and deadly.

    1. the GM is actually pretty good. Some of the players are into the ZOMG, I am zee most powerful crittter on the face of the plant.
      Which I actually don’t have a problem with. You wanna be powerful? Grand. Just realize that the rules of escalation do follow. And *don’t* deny that you’re a min-maxing twinkster. Telling me that you are a serious role player and then whining cause ohnoes, the bad guy is more uber than you…well, that’s just gonna get you thumped in teh head.

  2. One cold winter’s day, I came to the realisation that I was humming various bits from Buffy: The Musical Episode under my breath – and couldn’t figure out why. As I pulled another gardening stake from my apron, flipped/twirled/slammed it into the ground, I said aloud – “Ah-HA!”. And then had to explain my enlightenment to co-workers.

  3. I agree about the whining. I just want us to be organized so we can play, relax, and have fun. With a side of stupid jokes that make people squee in various measures.

  4. Man I’m aching for a good Role Play, not hack and slash, RPG.

    I love playing characters who do the right things for the wrong reasons.
