Oak leaves probably taste better.

I'm trying something different. Instead of normal XP I am having PCs level up once per three adventures. Makes it easier for planning adventures out and for them to "build" as we go.

Yeah, our group tends to do this more than anything. The DM of our last game [Shattered Star] tracked XP for completing quests and killing monsters and by the middle of the third book we were 2 levels behind. Which led to the inevitable near TPK which led to the inevitable massively minmaxing our characters only for combat which is what led to the inevitable explosion and my current preparations of a Shadowrun Campaign.

[Although to be fair, that wasn't the only thing that led to the explosion of the campaign, as you've seen if you'd read any of my previous posts]

In other wonderous news.... the IRS wants my backend. they say not everything was declared. Looking at it, the preparer screwed it up. So tomorrow I find out if H&R Block backs up their work and pays for the money owed that they either missed or never entered.

I haven't had the IRS come after me, but apparently Unemployment wants money from me.

I've applied for Unemployment 3 times in my life.

1) Didn't get it. My bosses were being s and I could tell they were trying to get around to firing me but didn't have the balls to do it. One of my finest moments, I always thought. In the meeting they sort of stopped as if they didn't know how to continue. I said "Are you done? Good, then I quit. I still worked one week, so I'll be back this Friday to pick up my check. Good bye." I guess I kinda understand why Unemployment didn't pay me anything, but I wasn't expecting to quit, so it REALLY sucked.

2) I got Unemployment. Woohoo!

3) I failed to get Unemployment. I was let go from work because I ended up not showing up due to circumstances beyond my control. Unfortunately not only did work not take me back even after I explained, but apparently those circumstances weren't good enough for Unemployment. And then for some reason not only did they not give me Unemployment but because of a mistake I had made somewhere, they decided I didn't deserve the Unemployment that I got on try 2).

So now they are claiming I owe them like $7,000. Which is utterly ridiculous. The worst part is that I haven't worked since December of last year and Unemployment keeps sending me random notices for $7,000. Crappy thing is that I tried to appeal, but apparently I missed the deadline by like 1 day, so they refused to listen to my appeal.

So yeah, they aren't being as ruthless as the IRS likely would be, but I totally understand about government agencies being annoying and demanding money.

Game postponed here too. Wife got flu, and I don't want to run the game without her, so this weeks 40k adventure got postponed. On plus note, we got date set for the start of the 3.5 D&D game.

*Sigh* I haven't had a table top game since January of 2013. *sob**whimper*

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Had two sessions since Oct. 28, 2013.

Played other great games- board games, card games, etc.- in that period, but not RPGs.

I don't even have board games to play. pbp is all I have. I have one friend and his wife who are gamers, but we don't play the same edition and neither will bend. He is a bit of a broney, and that ain't my gig at all, not to mention he is fifth ed, I am 3.5 / pathfinder.
