Good evening, I’m John, and you’re not.
On Friday, at the drop of a hat, ran 7th Sea. I had a blast. Forgot how much I love Fate Magic. (The thought of d20 Sorte Strega throwing fireballs and lightning bolts makes my stomach churn.) always tells me what a great GM I am. Well, sir, it takes one to know one. I can’t wait to play again.
On Saturday, ran City of the Spider Queen. I love my friends. I love gaming with my friends. But, I swear to Bashthraka, D&D makes people dumb. DUMB. I feel my intelligence drain away when I play it. It’s because the game system offers you no option other than kill-kill-kill. It forbids you to think outside the box. What other RPG rules do the players consider “canon?” Isn’t every other RPG designed with the thought, “The players are gonna screw around with the rules?” Yes. Does D&D create that mentality? No. A strange, mutant game.
On Sunday, I tried moving boxes. The 405 thwarted me. Took me 3 hours to get to and from the new apartment. With me carrying 5 boxes at a time, it wasn’t worth it. I’ll have to rent a truck on Saturday and move it all then.
