I played a short game of it with my GM. We try all sorts of systems. The new RQ does have a neat advancement system. It encourages a creative use of all sorts of skills to better yourself and become more well rounded. It can be a tad difficult on survivability, partially because at low levels...

Are you just going to small local cons that usually only draw in the 'off' kind of gamers? If so, then that there might be part of the problem. I pretty much stopped going to local cons, and save up to go to big ones. Meeting up with friends you don't normally get to see, and gaming on a very...

I may make a an appearance. See faces I haven't seen in a while, and new ones if I don't see them some other point during the con. I will likely have my better half in tow. :)

Since a certain someone has yet to create a logon, I will lobby a spot in his name. He doesn't understand the importance of timeliness in this sort of thing. :P

The last D & D character I had was a warlock, and at 12th level, I could certainly hold my own in the group, and at times was the only one who could do real damage. There are lot of things that help a warlock. In using the right combination of invocations, it can do a lot of damage. There is an...

Thank you for this link. Someone at work, today even, mentioned this to me. I will check it out. :) I know about this to a degree. I am an auto insurance agent for one of the larger companies, and they have a line dedicated to trying to 'save' customers. Right now the only thing I have that...

These are good suggestions. A lot of them we are already adhearing to. Part of the problem is that Austin is horrible on rent...and we already pay pretty low at around 700, and as for finding a house we can afford, I can't get anything on credit until my credit improves in December. We are...

That is with car payment AND car insurance. I would drop the insurance if I got rid of the car. (insuarnce was high because of credit as well, depsite my perfect driving record) I have a '06 Toyota Corolla. Certainly not a fancy car, but I got screwed big time! I have a buyer interested, we...

Right now I pay child support, car payment, car insurance, and rent. My other half pays other bills, but he only has a part time job and goes to school full time. I am trying to sell my car, getting rid of it would free up 600 a month (bad credit = really really high payment). I have the option...

Does anyone know of a way to make money that doesn't take a lot of investment? I am currently in high financial stress. I don't spend money beyond my bills, and I am trying to sell my car so I don't have that payment any longer. I don't have hours at work that are condusive to getting a second...

I couldn't file because my stupid ex did not provide me with the form I needed to claim my daughter, and since I can't claim her without it, I was sort of screwed. I didn't even file and extension. I will be penalized. I have had them done for over 2 months now. :(

I've played it. I thought some of the ideas were good, but I wasn't too impressed with how it was executed. I also don't think the GM I had to run it was really into it. I met him on the Browncoats site before it closed down. Point aside, the game relies heavily on a well thought out campaign...

This is a good idea. I don't have to worry about putting my name on my tag and wonder if anyone would notice....even though I am not a super frequent poster around here. I like the various shirt selections as well, style is always important. :P

You must be a GM. :) I think I am going to keep it, but for some reason feel guilty about it. My GM is great at using things like this as plot devices though. My actions were completely unexpected, but he will use it in the future. I think I will have a new purpose in game. Probably likely to...

Last night was my bi-weekly 4th edition Shadowrun game. It isn't typical Shadowrun in that my GM customized the world a bit so it is a very unique, but very fun game. I am playing a pansy, corporate boy technomancer who hired a bodyguard to keep him safe since his wife doesn't know what he does...
