Working on my game. So much left to do. So much I want to do. Feeling overwhelmed, but this time it may be in a good way.

I know how you feel. After about 3 weeks of puzzling about, I finally got my core mechanic whittled down to something workable with statistics that don't make my brain try to leap out my nostrils. Suddenly I'm back in content generation and it's like "Holy shit man." I actually get to write things worth reading, instead of just fiddling with the machinery behind the scenes, and I love it. I now have a 6 page character creation document, complete with extensive examples, small jokes, and explanations of every facet (most of which are non-mechanical, besides specifying how much of each thing you can choose from during creation). I still need to revise and/or write in the first place some of the sections referenced, but I'm well on my way to being done with the framework and getting on to purely creative thought within existing bounds.

This actually makes me extremely happy, especially because I'm still proud of my Morality system, about 6 months after I wrote the rough draft, and there are big chunks of the Sanity and Background systems that I'm still happy with (those are largely conceptual, if not mechanical, ripoffs of Unknown Armies and World of Darkness, respectively, though). Good vs Evil? How quaint.

I fucking love my biweekly caffeine binges.

Grats, man. It's a lovely feeling when it all comes together. I'm just chiseling away at writing the fluff and getting all my shit in one file. I've just got to remind myself that I don't have to do it all at once. If all I write is a couple of sentences or flesh out one weapon, I'm still farther along than I was. ^_^

Playing Dwarf Fortress adventure mode. Created a human on a small world. Unfortunately, the human civilization was pretty weak, and only had 1 town large enough to support shops; and that 1 town was the capital city. So, I decided to head over to the capital to buy some decent armor and weapons. When I arrived, I noticed something quite peculiar. The city was all but deserted. Every building in the city was abandoned; no shops, not a person in sight. So I headed to the city's keep. Once there, I witnessed an odd scene: about a dozen or so soldiers/guards, one of whom was injured. At this point I began to suspect something odd was at play, but I figured since the town was empty, I would go hunt night creatures.

So I talked to the leader, a human lawmaker. He didn't have a task for me (I wasn't famous enough quite yet), so I asked him some of the other questions, including inquiring about his family. He mentioned he had a daughter, who had married in the year 137. The current year was 250. This man was, at the very least, 140 years old. At which point it was pretty obvious he wasn't mortal. Turns out he was a vampire; and my guess is he is solely responsible for the nearly complete depopulation of the entire human capital city over the course of his multiple century lifetime.

Also, watching CHKilroy's videos. Makes me want ArmA II so much ;_;
He's down.
BUT IS HE DEAD?
He's dead.
NOOOOOOO
From the same video: "I told them they had parachutes, they bailed out. They didn't have parachutes." -Dslyexci (sp?)

Personally I find the Dark Business games to be fascinating.  It's like a game of mafia but with armed factions and hostages.
This game is particular.  Make sure to watch the related video afterwards.  It's AMAZING

I think after some thought. Some more Ham, and copious amounts of Sun drop soda... Yeah. Time to forgive and forget. What am I without my friends? Even if I do get hurt a few times.

It sounded like a big deal yesterday, so I hope he's regretful too.

Nostalgia is a heady draught. It tastes like... old boot and cheap booze. And also of awesome.

Perhaps your beard/mustache/goatee was cursed by a cosmic horror? Like, Cthulustache or something.

[Darvi]

So that's where my 'stache goes after I shave it.
