    Man, saw Captain America today. I am excited for The Avengers. It was a really good movie. Then after dinner Iron Man 1 was on FX. Oh so good. Also I am doing my best to roast Tarranon while he is here. So far 14,000 feet to bars to a walk up red rocks in the evening.

    The important thing about Captain America is that Bucky is the best and needed to be the star

    The man looks like a well-worn couch.

    @simonwolf

    EJO is sexy! When I met him at comic con (along with Michael Hogan for which I have a photo of myself with him, and I look positively ecstatic) he told me he loved me, and I called my boyfriend up afterward and told him I had to leave him because Admiral Adama loved me.

    Man I tell girls I love them all the time and they just call the fuzz

    women

    You gotta have that deep sultry voice, man. And you gotta give speeches that make the spine tingle.

    Part of why I am always skeptical of "intrigue" focused games is that they seem to encourage a "fresh fish" mentality toward newcomers.

    I'm pretty sure that many laptop ads mention an integrated chip that shares RAM as "up to 256mb" and such, so be careful with that. I'd just really look for Nvidia / Radeon names, and then look at a site for the stats.

    Are you in any of them? I always end up with hundreds of pictures, but not a single one of me or anyone I am with, just objects.

    I prefer not to be since I favor candid shots over poses every time. So I'll take pics of other people but I dislike asking people to take pics of me.

    That being said! I make it a point to have at least one or two pics of myself, partly for my parents' sake, partly so I can look back at them years later.

    Yeah, candid pictures are so much better. People only take them of me when I'm shitfaced though, so I look terrible.

    My last vacation, I took hundreds of pictures of tanks, planes, and battlfields, but not a single one of people. :P

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Any pen and paper rpg that seems to encourage new players to get killed early to the amusement of older players immediately turns me off. This was also how the rifts group I played with acted, I think if I died early in that game I could have saved myself some really boring rp sessions.

    I've only really had a chance to play D&D. 4e and 3.5. I really want to play Mutants & Masterminds, but there's only two guys in our group who I think we'd all trust to run a game (me and another guy) and I don't think the other guy would want to run a superhero game, so I probably won't get a chance to play it as a player.

    Well, that too...but I meant, like, the mechanics and conversions you're doing. I'm curious how it looks.

    White Wolf released a book called the "Vampire Translation Guide" which is like $3 on DrivethruRPG, and tells you how to convert the old Clans and Disciplines to the new rules, and converts Disciplines that have no equivalent in nWoD (like Thaumaturgy, Viccisitude, and Dementation)

    it also tells you how to convert the new stuff to oWoD rules, if you really liked that rules-set for some godawful reason.

    I've seen people say that the new edition of D&D is "for pussies" because it suggests letting new players and people who've had a character die roll up a dude at the party's level instead of starting at 1 or whatever. I'm really glad I don't play with anyone like that.

    As sort of a weird mystery cult that is officially not acknowledged by the Camarilla and hated by the Sabbat, but popular amongst various clans (Tremere dudes especially). Same way I am integrating the Lancea Sanctum.

    I'm also taking the factions of Hunter: The Vigil, like Task Force Valkyrie, the Malleus Malificarum, the Cheiron Group, etc.

    because they're boss.

    I'm basically taking what elements of both game worlds I like and mushing them together, which is also why the players kinda have to be neonates and fledglings who don't know a fuck.

    famous in SE++ for when someone dug up a webpage detailing the ridiculous and (if I recall correctly) somewhat pornographic exploits of "Cronyx," a furry dude with really bad accompanying drawings, and he replied "technically, that's my LARP character"
