Vanguard00 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Why isn't "palindrome" spelled the same way backwards? Same reason there really isn't another word for "thesaurus". And that there's an 's' in "lisp". And "phonetic" isn't spelled with an 'f'.

lemming Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER The problem with this thread, is we haven't had a good discussion going on it lately. Lemming, you and zornwil used to game together. Do you still meet for games? How is that weird game you were designing going? I've been a lazy bastard and not done any game design work even with the copious free time of unemployement. I'm not sure why my motivation is being such a low point lately. Zornwil on the other hand is running his Justice Squad game monthly with occasional other games. This week we're going for finishing up the Disavowed. You can check out some of his stuff at http://realschluss.org He does a nice job of writing up game summaries and various other bits. Though a couple of the other players contribute quite a bit. (Lamrok & Chromatic) We're pretty lucky in that we have a great gaming group. The only problem is that our schedules don't mesh well. Other games that are happening are a pulp game that another one is running (Does Kirk even have a login here?) and Shelley is testing out her Regency Hero game. And I better send both of them my character writeups. One is an escape artist and the other a volatile navy captain on half-pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zornwil Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER (snip) Other games that are happening are a pulp game that another one is running (Does Kirk even have a login here?) and Shelley is testing out her Regency Hero game. And I better send both of them my character writeups. One is an escape artist and the other a volatile navy captain on half-pay. Oh, I snipped it, but as to gaming work, I suspect that not just unemployment but going back into contracting days, the uncertainty of employment has detracted from creative energy, understandably. Plus I haven't been getting with you on the cyber-ninja-pirates-in-space game, either, so definitely two sides to that. I don't think Kirk has a login, IIRC, I asked him and he's not a boards browser. BTW, my character for Shelley's game is another Navy captain. And a natural antagonist for the Comte, as while he has no actual interest in fashion, he just always looks good in whatever he picks out and tends to mix and match on his own, so is a Trendsetter (note the capital "T", i.e., I paid points), and he, not surprisingly of course given the wars and ongoing rivalry, dislikes the French (though not to the level of a disad - though one of his favorite sayings is "The best a Frenchman can aspire to in life is to be beaten by an Englishman"). To be fair, given the times, there's plenty of races he wouldn't even consider to have that much credit! I didn't realize about the Comte until after I had designed all this. The character is actually inspired by an idea I had as a kid well before RPGing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why my motivation is being such a low point lately. Unemployment has that effect on people. Being out of work is not the same as having a day off or being on vacation. Your mind is always occupied with worry about finding work, paying the bills, and all that other unfun crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point, I showered once a week, and changed clothes at the same time. I slept until noon. I became insane - a slug that lived in a curled up, hard shell that it couldn't move around, so it never qualified as a snail. I sat with the laptop by my bed and was too lazy even to put DVD's in my DVD player, just popping them into the laptop and watching Red Dwarf over and over again... Now, I at least have created an office downstairs, where I work a few hours every day. I shower every other day, change my clothes regularly. And I even took up shaving with a razor. I've also stopped staying up past three in the morning and after-dinner naps. Unemployment sucks, but not as much as feeling unemployed when you're under contract for novels.

lemming Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER And why is the captain on half pay? No ships to command. He is rather volatile and prone to violence, but has a patron rather high up and also some highly placed enemies. I forsee a violent death for him He's a captain, but was promoted in his last engagement after giving some frenchies the what for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
