I am considering running a M&M oneshot or so with my group, but I haven't made any final plans yet
I really enjoy D&D 4, but I don't want to "limit" myself to one game and one genre. Mutants & Masterminds looks like a nice change of pace...
The three things you have to know about M&M are: 1) It is possible to one shot people in M&M. 2) "Debuffers" tend to suck when put up against min/maxers. 3) Combats can go long if people roll well.
You have a girlfriend thus you should already get to do that. I on the other hand have been trying with little success. I think I'll need to find something else I don't do.
Maybe I'll start kicking old people and biting children.

Sounds like a plan.
Not a good one, and I am not sure that's what Phaezen imagined would happen, but hey, nothing is perfect.

I personally wish that True20 was loved by more people since True20 would be a nice substitute for standard d20, but alas, True20 is not even a blip on
EnWorld. Thankfully, GR created enough material for M&M that I think it now could easily be used to do anything that True20 and DnD was able to do (save for Monty Haul adventuring).
I'm happy enough to believe any system can be adjusted to fit any setting

What has really been annoying me the past few days is people sniping with edition war comments in response to Dave Arneson Memorial Threads and Blogs.
As a side note, I play & DM4e, I play 3.5, I play C&C, I will play Pathfinder, I am running a Red Box game this afternoon. I also play & run CoC, Shadowrun, WoD, nWoD, any other system that looks interesting.
/Rant
So, now that that is over, how is everyone doing this Easter weekend?
yupyup
I'm feeling even better today after another nights sleep!!

The only bugger I find about M&M is the character creation

I have to explain to my boss why I've been on the internet over 11 hours this week.
how do I explain that the job is boring and I need something to keep me from going insane? Or how the job can be stressful at times and I need a break without leaving my desk?(which I do when I can.)
I'm nervous about this.

Hey Houston EN Worlders! Interested in Getting together? Let's meet up and have lunch or something!

Hmm just glad they haven't checked mine though I have cut down a lot, hmm you might be lucky they've only checked the week with 11 hours, can't you blag you left the window open.
It might be bad to lie but say you were waiting for a message about a friend/relative you were really stressed about so you checked in every now and then just changing windows.
Depends how deep they are checking whether they'd bite on that or not.
Worst comes to the worst tell the truth, the problem should only come if its been affecting your work.

I'm sure they can tell what I'm looking at as well as how long. While some of my time is spent on news and wikipedia not all of it is.
I don't have enough work to keep me busy the whole night. I've even thought of asking if I could help the associate support team to have more things to do.
I think this is a warning that I'll need to cut my usage but I'm still worried that I can lose my job. This is the best job I've had and I don't want to lose it for something like this. It does NOT impact my productivity. I do NOT let it interfere with getting my job done.

In his email he mentioned that some times we might leave the browser open and it looks like we've been on when we actually haven't. He's giving me an excuse in his email. Some times that is true.
Waiting to hear from friends that I can only talk to online is what I do sometimes. I just don't think that will be enough of a reason.

Well it seems like he's decided conciously or sub-conciously to give you a life line, it looks like a typical management slap on the wrist now when you're in there your plan is to say you left the browser on and then try and change the focus of the conversation into wanting to attain more responsibility at work, could actually work out well for you, not that in any way shape or form I'd like to be in that situation myself but still.

Hmm chinese curry and chips maybe hmmmm

I hope that they do not get mad at you Aeson. I really do not know what advice I can give you though.

Then should I admit to how little work I have to do?
I do see the weirdness in turning to folks on the internet about my internet use. This fact has not gone unnoticed.

It's keeping me up. I should be in bed asleep but I can't stop worrying about this. I won't be able to sleep.
I would try and go to sleep if I were you. Being tired is not going to help when you have to go to work.
If you have to cut back on time spent online at work, then maybe you could find a book series you like to read. So you could read at work instead of being online. I like having you here, but I do not want you to lose your job.
