@erwin: Get a girlfriend, dude. And I don't mean a good-times girl. In the vein of d_a's

I'll get a girlfriend, but not now, and not because I need to.

I agree with that.

Christmas party karaoke again? Very Happy

Rant: I really need to get my books in order now that we have a puppy running around gnawing on furniture and leaving landmines and puddles everywhere.

I suggest RedBox instead of Pork Barrel this year. Razz

I can't take a leave on December, and I have work Christmas day =/

But if you guys would like to schedule it the nearest Saturday before Christmas, I'm game for that XD

For some weird reason... I want to play d20 modern.

Videoke sounds great, but the thought of the things we're to be doing seems exhausting. Charming night with good food sounds awesome, too... Hard to choose on my part, damn it. I'm feeling a little more sentimental again... Laughing

It is indeed with me, but I don't agree with your assessment that it's the WCS. If the goderator wants to play d20 modern, let him play d20 modern. XD

All things considered, I want to use SWSE to play Star Wars. And NWoD just does something entirely different from d20.

I have never played any game system you have mention, Revs, so I do not know how the gameplay-feel so I do not know if they would satiate my desire to play d20 modern.

True. Well, the thing that sorta bugs me about d20 modern is the leveling mechanic making characters significantly harder to kill or effect past around level 5+, unless you match them with increasingly bigger stuff. WoD impressed me in our last game with its ability to reduce even skilled characters to bloody pulp if they misplay against even comparatively weaker mooks.

On SWSE, BJ is right, it's better for Star Wars, but the level and class mechanics are very similar to d20 modern, so it works relatively nice. That said, you'd have to port over stuff.

WoD is point rather than level based, with you spending xp to improve stats and skills. Intended for modern horror, but that depends entirely on how the Storyteller and players maintain the mood.

Or just play D&D 4E already! (Or perhaps Pathfinder. I hear a lot of good things about the system, but I haven't read the rules yet.)

RANT:
-Work means you can by neat stuff.
-Work never leaves you the time to enjoy neat stuff.
-I sort of hoped that my new room would end up neat and clear. I actually wanted to enjoy that old beanbag once we cleared all the stuff out. But as usual, it's turned into the default dumping spot of choice for assorted crap. I have absolutely zero personal perimeter back here.
-I love sourcebooks. Absolutely love them. But every game day, I find myself lugging around 20+ lbs of books with me, and neither my bags or my back can keep on taking this strain. demmit.

Crap, I think I broke my dvd player/ writer on my laptop. =/

@Revan&Xtian: If you're interested in purchasing Pathfinder (pdf or hardcopy), you can check out the system first at the Pathfinder SRD. IMO, it's the best 3.x incarnation to date.

My rant: My DDi is experiencing problems. I bought a new subscription, but my old one is still there registered as expired. Somehow, that prevents me from using the old one.

All is well if I could only contact DDi... But I can't. Their email link sends me to a temporary infinite loop page.

*sigh* I'll work on this when I get home from class later. At least Globe's back... >.>

I'm still unemployed. CURSES!!!!!

Wait... what did you do to your high school love?

I want a sniper rifle so that I can go assassinate people in my "To kill list."

There's always a gun for hire.
