What you don't want to forget when going on a night shift? Why, the energy drinks & tea, of course!

Today is the day when I first parried a car

I've got no injuries, not even a bruise, so I guess my parry was successful

"(E)xercise began in ancient times to train soldiers to fight and also became the privilege of elites, its popularity exploded during the industrial revolution to help growing legions of clerks, bankers, administrators and other white-collar workers who needed to find new ways to move." - David E.

I just ordered a print copy of Fight! 2nd Edition!
Turns out it was part of my KS pledge...
And I'd received the pledge code (printed by Drivethru) in May. I just never noticed it, until I got to cleaning up my e-mail (a Deed worthy of Herakles)!
I'm just glad the code wasn't set to expire. That's all I'm saying.
I'm now looking for a basic mechanic that allows me to express physical qualities, skill, experience and self-confidence different ways. Synergy is close, but not quite there...
Been running Art of Wuxia (by DwD). And now I'm writing up the adventure...
Funny how those things happen.
I don't know what amazes me more: that GMing poetry exists now, or that I participated in its creation!
The only thing I understand here is "CoC7", but I'll take it as a sign that CoC is (starting to become) popular in Korea, too...

I'm starting to like Roman-era games more and more. Should I make this my next Refereeing Trademark? The current ones are Wuxia/Kung-fu/Martial Arts, Swashbuckling, S&S, Cyberpunk and Mysteries. And I'm trying to add SF as well, but I need more work.
As a bonus, there's some great d100-based Roman games: Mythras Rome and Maelstrom Rome!
I persuaded our GM to run another CoC adventure for me. It turned out to be a tournament module! Huh, didn't know there were CoC tournament modules.
Name was something like "something weird in LA".
I lost all of 3 SAN and no HP soloing it. Yeah, everybody dies in CoC, sure!
My PC, however, ended up in good health, and exactly 400 times as rich as when he started.
How would I have rated?
Discovered recently: I can actually do the "pistol squat" on one of my legs (but I need something to support me on one side). The other leg needs to build just a bit more strength before that (and obviously I need more balance on both, because I need the side support to avoid toppling).
Life with kids teaches you a lot.
What do you do when you create your own NPC Enemy and realize that he can easily take on anyone one level of experience above you (and win)?
Personally, I prepare for fun times ahead.
Planning to play Fractured Kingdom with a solo engine (houseruled by me, but including parts from the WoD Solo engine, Mythic and CRGE). The first PC is going to be a Verdant guy with a knack for languages. Still now sure what the second PC is going to be.
...how "dead" is a Grave Lucid's body? Rotting? Fully functional except it feels less pain? Something in-between?

First Daughter got her first sword/saber lesson today. It was nice, she's taking well to the steps and almost didn't hit the floor with the downwards strikes!
First Son got his first sword/saber lesson as well. He only hit himself once, so it's good for him as well!
Of course, they're 7 and 3, so I wasn't hard on them. And they were using adult-sized bokken.
We needed a warm-up before MA practice.

It seems that the first supplement I buy for any game is always the martial arts/fencing one. Bought Trinity when it was discounted, got Fists of Flux to go with it!
Are there others like me?
Amusingly, I don't consider martial arts to a mystical thing (unless it's part of a setting where it's true). It's just "advanced fighting techniques for people willing to spend lots of time on them".
Tonight, I found something that I've been taught as "a secret technique". Turns out, it's on YouTube already...
Granted, the really secret part is the follow-up, which is missing. But I guess the reason is that it's forbidden by MT rules
?
Or might that be because applying it outside of a life-and-death situation would lead to doing hard time? Though questions!
Reading the Witchcraft/AFMBE RPG. Still wondering why this game isn't more popular. Stuff like that's objectively worse has more traction

My son is playing Dead or Alive 6.
The difficulty is equal to his age (rounding down).

I just found an AMA with Kevin Crawford. My respect for the guy only grew (along with my self-respect, because I've been trying to convince people of some of his points for literally years....but that's another topic)!
And he even mentioned ME! "People are buying my games without any intention to use the system, because of the sandbox tools"... that's me, right?
I just changed the names of the FASERIP stats which we're using for a one-shot. Now we have Force, Agility, Combat, Endurance, Reason, Intelligence, Psyche.
Because I like the new abbreviation better.

First time trying to get to an online FB event. And now it turns out it's too complicated for me?
I knew FB cannot be trusted!
Heh. The description of the Brazilian judo club reminds me of the Bulgarian ones. Chats and "no politics" rules included. Alas, the notes about corruption and slow justice are also familiar...
“Arigato gozaimasu, Brazil”
"This is the story of how, in order to grasp what makes Brazilians tick, I first had to learn Japanese," writes journalist Sebastian Smith at the end of a three-year posting to Brazil. "And how in the process I broke a toe, dislocated a finger, sprained most things, bruised the others, made...correspondent.afp.com
OTOH, we've got less trainees from a non-Bulgarian ethnicity, but then we've got no death squads and automatic shootings, either.
And there's a new RPG being published in Bulgaria. I hope to have it by the next weekend!
Keeping the alliteration, the title would translate as "Courageous Cronicles".
Reworking the damage system in Strange Tales of Songling now... calling

"Roll the Damage Dice vs. Hardiness. A 10 on the dice is always a SuccessUnless Hardiness<10, it also counts as 1 Extra Success"
Damage vs. Hardiness Results:
No successes: Scratched
1 Succ.: Wounded
2 Succ: Crippled
3 Succ: Incapacitated
4 Succ: Dying
5 Succ: Dead.
6 Succ: Overkilled. "
Self-explanatory.
I just found there's lots of youtube videos explaining "how to play tabletop RPGs". Probably not news to many people, but it was news to me.
Eldest is watching Vampirina and all I see is a bunch of walking XP!
The Search engine is kicking my ass...who had recommended the Agents of P.U.N.C.H. RPG in a recent post?
Running Maelstrom Rome... How often do you hear me saying that I like a magic system?
Just in order to preserve the link:
*Don't read this! It's me having a downer!*
Today, I got to a new level of understanding of the phrase "feeling down like an abused doggie"...yes, made up by the yours truly.
Tl;dr - there are times when life sucks.
OK, that's enough misery tourism for today! Now let's talk about RPGs instead!
Is anyone else considering to drop the dice for good?
...I don't think that trying to be upbeat worked as planned^^!
...A second locked thread in a month. Same pattern of a couple of entitled users (nobody can guess which two I am thinking about) feeling their precious feelings were offended.
I'm almost starting to understand Pundit, despite his lack of taste when it comes to basic mechanics!
I'm spending more and more time on the BG gamebook forum...as opposed to the RPG forums. I'm even discussing RPGs there.
Why? The community is better.
...And I guess that kinda explains why I'm at the Pub, too, instead of at some bigger forums that shall remain unnamed?
Writing my own gamebook began a couple hours ago.
My plans to start with a short, simple story suffered a crucial setback less than 10 minutes later. Maybe I should write the short story separately?
It's a wuxia game, BTW, I guess nobody's surprised. For starters, I'm planning to make it a "pick your character" game.
I'm reading the (unpublished) system "Cathay's Art of Roleplaying". Hmm...if there's a precursor to LotW, that was probably it!

That was among the Top 5 Worst Days Of My Life.
But tomorrow might well top it.
And I'm still planning to run a session!
I'll probably be unavailable for PbP until tomorrow. Sorry! -
