This makes me hypersensitive to feelings that I'm failing to uphold my end of things, even when I'm the only one who feels that way. It's quirk of mine and certainly not the worst one to have.Michael Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217338828086458862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-11509084766794812572009-07-31T21:03:41.991-04:002009-07-31T21:03:41.991-04:00what with hanging out at the country club, taking ...<i>what with hanging out at the country club, taking trips to Cancun and Monte-Carlo and Vegas and all the big Hollywood premieres</i>!<br /><br />Shush!

Of course you won't have so much time for blogging, what with hanging out at the country club, taking trips to Cancun and Monte-Carlo and Vegas and all the big Hollywood premieres!<br /><br />Take your time and sleep off that 72-hour coke binge (tax deductible for artistic endeavors, I should remind you).

Seems to me that you've been very fortunate with creative, collaborative players</i>.<br /><br />In this regard, I do indeed feel as I've been blessed in the past. But I'm not convinced that I've just been lucky. It is my heartfelt belief that "like attracts like" and I make it a point to be accessible and willing to collaborate and share the game with all my players. Once they see that I enjoy this hobby because I use it as a creative outlet and not an excuse to indulge in some God complex, they usually take the same attitude.<br /><br />I think that the pools from which I tend to draw players from also has a big impact on my games. I usually extend an offer to join in on a session to people who are by second-nature creative. I've recruited players from the theatre departments in college, musicians and music afficianados, iconclasts, dancers, artists, writers, etc. A sure way to get me NOT to ask you to come and play is to start telling me about your uber character you played back in high school and all the cool adventures you had. While it's a valid reason to like this hobby, power-gaming and munchkinism is not what I here for, nor is it what I want to encourage.Michael Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217338828086458862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-90817164677003000612009-07-30T22:35:18.094-04:002009-07-30T22:35:18.094-04:00like Herb said, and also the weird woods with tele...like Herb said, and also the weird woods with teleporter game fragment. <br /><br />I've got to ask you a question that's been on my mind since your posts on characters creating spells and generally influencing the gameworld (a month or two ago) - Who the heck do you play with? Seems to me that you've been very fortunate with creative, collaborative players.<br /><br />(I hope you don't have to go to New York to see Fear, that's where the saxophones are if I remember correctly.<br />Maybe Belushi will show up!)Ragnorakkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812860633134547618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-64098626586225985422009-07-30T22:19:58.573-04:002009-07-30T22:19:58.573-04:00Have a Beer with Fear!
