ARGHHH! Who put this HIVE here?!

Meaning that they should have already taken the class?

Yup, since we're so far along at the school that after we finish portfolio we have to start getting ready for portfolio 2 (the final class you have to take at AI).

I am a Junior and I still need to pass College Algebra...my record with it has been less than stellar.

Another thing about playing in an established setting, say The Wheel of Time for example. I would ideally like to have it so the PCs do not play second fiddle to the protagonists of the novels. So, I would have it turn out that the Big Bad of the novels is REALLY being manipulated by someone else, so the PCs are dealing with The Man Behind The Man - Television Tropes & Idioms. Or in The Wheel of Time's case, The Man behind the Dark One.

That's why I never liked Dragon Lance or Forgotten Realms. Every time I played in Dragon Lance our characters were basically supporting character to the heroes of the lance. Then in Forgotten Realms there is the disconnect of having powerful NPCs around and wondering, WTF does Eliminster need us to do this adventure when all he has to do is Scry ----> ------>Haste-----> Teliport-----> Epic Fireball ----> Teliport his way out of the situation?

For me, I've become an M&M player. I love the freedom that M&M gives. I love how it streamlines the D20 system and adds the point based gaming onto it successfully (as much as I loved GoO, BESM d20 and SaS d20 sucked).

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 like 3.5, because despite what some people here say, I find it very easy to modify on the fly, and I like all of the crunch. Pathfinder is looking like it is going to be like 3.5, but even better, so I might pick it up when it comes out.

I have a class like that. It's Digital Identity Design. In that class we have to make a new logo for a business do rudimentary marketing research on it then set up a style guide website. Layout/design is my weak point so unfortunately the last part of the class is where i usually vanish.

I like DL, because in the current time all of the major NPCs from the original novels are gone and there is a whole new world to adventure in. It is very easy to make up an epic adventure and not have to worry about your characters playing second best.

Yeah, it really sucks having to take a class multiple times. I have dropped College Algebra twice, and failed it once. Math is not my strongest subject.

I am also not too great at Foreign Languages. I took Japanese in High School, it was fun, and I can still read Hiragana and Katakana, and understand a few words, but Kanji have completely faded from my memory. I tried taking Sign Language last semester, but I do not have the dexterity for it. I am going to take Spanish next semester, but that will probably be difficult too. I just can not wrap my head around other languages.

I am also bad at writing papers, I can not write a good essay at all.

There is not much I am good at. Oh well.

I can't wait to play D&D again!

Me either, as long as it is 3.5.
