Character development is slow. The PCs are gaining a couple of skill points per session, and that slows down even more as the skills get better. Heroic abilities are mostly in the GM's hands. So I don't have to worry about overpowered characters and can just use whatever monsters seem fun. It works.
You are technically correct. The best kind of correct. Although I find that after a certain amount of time, some of those reasonable people start to turn into friends.
The problem with autumn is we all get sick. Last week I was too ill to play, and since I'm the GM we had to cancel. This week I'm just well enough so thought I'd better show up. Then two players were sick, one was away, and one didn't show up. Turns out you can run Dragonbane for two players.
I just got home from running a game. :)
Fantastic thread on how a team of Wrens used war games to fight a real war.
Off to Otari again, having finally dealt with the Menace Under. Will I make it to the end of the session in my current post-vaccine haze? www.twitch.tv/chambersofro...
Birthday Stream: CORP: Pathfinder Abomination Vaults Session 1: Beach Side Property!
I can't remember who recommended Death and Other Details, but whoever you were, thanks. It's been excellent for binge watching with a bad cold. It wears its Agatha Christie influence proudly.
I've played a paid charity game once, because I was free at the time. I think the issue is that if it's a GM I want to play with, it's probably a GM I can play with at conventions anyway and probably already have. Other than a few D&D professionals, our 'celebrity' GMs are just too accessible.
I have a long list of cases for Matrons of Mystery, some of which I will eventually get round to writing.
There's no way I'm going to do the full 31 days of the October Horror Movie Challenge, but I'm going to aim for 4. Kicked off with Freddy Vs. Jason (2003). It...met expectations. 20 minutes with jerks, final girl, lots of blood. Basic slasher. Robert Englund is bloody brilliant though, isn't he?
