T2k Exemplary Campaign: Character, Step 3: Life Path (Redux!)
So now we have Bob, funny fat kid who turned into part of an Offspring song after high school. It really looks like he's going to be a stand-up comic. That would be the Entertainment life path, which has Prerequisites: Personality 9+ and 6+ points in either Deception or a Performance cascade. Bob just needs 1 more point in Performance, but he could ( Read more... ) -

T2k Exemplary Campaign: Character, Step 1: Attributes
I'm going to start with a new example character. His name will be Bob. I have no idea what Bob is going to be besides an American male, and to keep it completely off-the-cuff I'm going to use the random attribute generation--and assign in rolled order. You can normally assign in any order, or use a pool of points, but Bob is just an example. So we ( Read more... ) -
T2k Exemplary Campaign: Intro

T2k is an RPG written originally in 1984 by a company who specialized in strategic wargames, especially of the Cold-War-Heats-Up variety.

T2kravings
So I joined a few Meetup.com groups, trolled the Pen and Paper Games site for a bit, but nobody's playing T2k. Few people have even heard of it. It's all D&D, Pathfinder, WoD, or SR. Or boffo groups. x.x ( Read more... ) -

I MUSH and tonight I'm so thoroughly over... the Staff OCD Martyr. We all know this guy. He's the admin who has to have everything just so. Slave to bureaucracy that would make a Byzantine period, when he lets others do some of the work he finds fault with the result and cries, "Now I have to go back through and do it ALL OVER MYSELF! THIS is why I ( Read more... ) -
The Question
So a friend posted this to her FB:
If a man admits to liking a woman but then tells her that he is ashamed of himself for doing so, what would that woman do?
When asked to clarify why the man's ashamed, she added:
It's because of status and background. For someone with perceived higher social status and pedigree to like a person with no future ( Read more... )
