Now a part of me wants to find you and consume your heart, so I can steal your power.

Of having awesome books.

Also, Costume Fairy Adventures just sent out the playtest copy of Tomb of Follies*. So damn pumped.

*Imagine the Tomb of Horrors being run through by what boil down to Looney Toons characters. It is amazing.

There's a YouTube channel where the guy just heats up a large nickle ball to white hot and drops it on/in stuff.  Like jello.

So, the local library had its book sale on Saturday. I might have been a touch excessive.

I did that, once. Never read any of the things I got, pretty much. :lmao

Managed five, so far. Well, 4.5. A couple hours and it'll be five. And I do this every year, more or less. There's probably about 4,000 books scattered around my house by now. I do like to read a lot, and I'm impatient when I want another book.

I have trouble focusing on books long enough to finish them if I have multiple things that I could be doing.

I finally figured out how to rotate an object about a certain point not on the object in Illustrator, and of course it was right there in the Help documentation that I'd never thought to go to until tonight.   :banghead

The Vampires were right! Young blood may be the secret to (eternal?) youth. :D

If i can get some interest in the VtM/Werewolf campaign, it just might be that i cram that in it somewhat.

You've got my interest, though there you're likely to end up with weird characters. :lmao

Oh, i would absolutely love weird characters. I always played those. I think  VtM, especially, rather than Werewolf or Mages/Technocrats, and of course, Hunters (which are basically what you'll see in my campaigns, simply because it's the material i've already know and played/dm'd, and because i feel like overcrowding the world with growing numbers of supertitious entities breaks immersion, because, really, how the f*** can you justify humans not knowing about everything when in a crowd there's basically always something that isn't what you think it is?).

In my Campaigns i tend to vastly diminish the degree in which the world is basically controlled by powers beyond human comprehension, and highlight the fact that living in a human-filled world is HARD for a supernatural being. There's not only the dire consequences of breaking the Masquerade, you actually have to hide, have a life beyond being kin, a beliavable one. I make the world so that even Sabbat try to at least fake their wanton slaughter as being the work of serial killers, and that even Anarchs who won't bend to either aren't completely free from bonds, as there are consequences for being stupid. I also dislike the strong judeo-christian origin on Vampires so i hold onto the Book of Nod not as scripture but as legend, and the Hunters are not necessarily of judeo-christian tradition - in fact - they can be of any faith and come in any form. Just generally, i try to tone down the amount of supernatural and of infiltration of vampires in the higher hierarchies of government. Sure, there are many, but there are also many hunters that are also very high up the hierarchy and always on the lookout for possible vampires in the chain of command. Subtlety is the name of the game in my WoD games. Don't be subtle, don't blame me when a blood hunt is declared, or the entire police force are posting your face as most-wanted, werewolves are alerted as to who you are and that you are alone, and your only option is to go to a Tzimisce and do whatever he wants you to in exchange to changing your characters appearance. :D

I hope that face is a police sketch, because I've heard that taking photos of Vampires is... difficult.

Well, for one, it's 'vampire child'. Possibly even Tremere, because who doesn't want an excessively wordy child vampire mage wandering around? :rolleyes

You know, my one Masquerade character ate a Tremere.

To get the ability to light people on fire.

Needless to say, the ST then decided to run a game where the Tremere were the main opposition.

No leaving the Haven for me!

Y'know, I haven't played old Storyteller in a while.

Can I be a Demon? Or are we going strictly for Vampire?  :P
