Super-Scion

It seemed like such a good idea at the time. And now my brain is most probably oing to explode. But anyway, to the point.

It occurred to me that however much I like Mutants and Masterminds, and the way the rules and things let you make basically any kind of super you want, I was reminded of something Al said to me, regarding not seeing the superhero medium as one in which he could tell a story. OR something along those lines, I'm fairly sure we were drinking.

ANYWAY, this made me think of the main problem with high powered games in general, which is, in my opinion, that everyone can do too much, which distances players from characters. This is particularly obvious in games which start out highpowered, whereas starting low and developing to awesome power'n'such like can work much better. Not that it has to, obviously.

Then I thought of the generic power stat stuff in WoD (Blood Potency, Primal Urge, Gnosis, Azoth, Wyrd) and how the higher power, the less ... well, human characters become. High BP vampires start having to feed on other vampires, and eventually go into torpor or get shivved by other vampires; high gnosis mages Ascend, and such like. This got me thinking about Watchmen, and Doc Manhattan's speech on how little humanity matters, which then got me thinking of some sort of WoD superheroes thing.

And then, during a conversation with Mike, we got thinking about Scion. And it's progression from awesome heroic figures to godlike beings.

Hmmm.

So, yes, I'm doomed. And would appreciate any ideas!

Arse

Still jobless, and everything else seems to be collapsing. I got all ... irrational and angry for the first time in ages.

Need to get back into exercising and martial arts. Need money for that, though.

Huzzah.

Objecting mildly to the world

I need a freaking job.

I'm going to have to go home again, if I don't get one soon. Nothing against the people back home, but Farnborough is a shithole. And there is no gaming whatsoever, nor are there any decent pubs or bars. Or, more importantly, Southampton people.

On the bright side, my Mage is now 21st level! And looks fairly kick arse.

So, on the jobfront, what can I do? ...I like gaming, and drinking. So it's unlikely I'll enjoy whatever it is. Which pretty much means I will spend the summer once again wishing I had some sort of talent, and getting stupidly angry.

I miss Lou. Stupid distances.

Even if it's only an hour or two on the train; when you have no money, an hour or two on the train may as well be freakin' Timbuctoo.

To any rich billionaires out there who are wondering what to do with their filthy lucre; I'm sure I could take some of it off your hands. And I could almost definitely be worse, morally speaking; I hardly ever kill puppies for Satan. Or my own perverse pleasure, for that matter.

If I had superpowers, I wouldn't have ANY of these problems. I'd obviously have a whole set of different ones, but superheroes tend to be able to solve them by kicking people in the face. It's how the world should work.

So, any mad scientists looking for super soldier test subjects, or volunteers for prototype dimensional/galactic travel, drop me a line.

Particularly if you're also one of the aforementioned billionaires.

World of Warcrack

Being offered drugs whilst on drugs (including alcohol, for those of you who don't) is unfair. Warcrack is a drug. Which I am TOTALLY not playing at the moment.

Because I'm blogging.

Oh crap.

Orfeo, Emerald Dream, EU.

I wish I was on fire...

And yes, I am a bit drunk.
