This Friday appears to be slow. Not sure if I'm cool with that or not.

I've managed to get a few things done so far. Some bboard posts I wanted to do, as well as finishing a character for a game beginning tomorrow. It's not my usual level of work, but I know the group: on the average, me putting as much energy into characters for RL as I put in online is a wasted effort. The last character I made as such is in a game I am going to drop. This is because most of the players are unwashed, common assholes (note to [livejournal.com profile] usagi_k1: Eric is not one of those. I enjoy his company in any game I play very much. But the rest of them in John's 2nd week game? You know who I mean.). Hell, I'm scared about tonight's game. I know some of the players are jumping to another game, and there's still a few folks-without-games-that-week creeping about, and...well, it's folks I want to not deal with.

Besides, I got a better offer: Chris is, in OCtober, starting up a Storyteller System Aberrant game. I *heart* Aberrant, despite the 'it's kewl to be teh evil' vibes the system gives off. (This can be fixed. All it needs is a little guidance from yours truly.) He e-mailed me last week telling me about running the game. Once I got the confirm it was Storyteller/D10 and not the D20 Aberrant that just came out (Hey, if there's a d20 Aberrant, fine. I like d20, but sometimes I do wanna play different systems. Still waiting to see if someone starts a Big Eyes, Small Mouth Tri-stat game), I found my Aberrant main book, and I've been re-learning it. That was one e-mail. The other came yesterday from Ami, where he said they knew I was having troubles with the other game (bigoted assholes. Yeah, you /think?/), and they would love to have me there. It's nice to feel wanted, yo.

I'm rambling, and I know a few folks won't be able to make heads or tails of this. Sorry about that; gaming does become a code, after a while.

I also can't feel sympathy for John when he gripes about how fast the k.d.m.'s fall over when he refuses to adjust anything on the fly. I don't even think he is doing it out of spite, he just hasn't made the mental leap that the players a) cannot read his mind and b) will naturally follow the one trail you give them that leads directly to their demise. It's a lesson Dwight hasn't grasped either, but he's at least learned to plug the dyke when the dice decide to take their vengeance upon us.

As for your other complaint, one of the few perks of being an officer is that I can't sign. So you can't blame me. :)

E-mail me about Aberrant if you'd like. I'd rather not heap the insult of RPG mechanics on to your audience along with our healthy dose of boring interpersonal politics.
