PP... What. The. Fuck. Seriously. PP : Bullshit storm related to my internship... "You see, this 25-page report you just finished ? DO IT ALL OVER, DUE IN ONE WEEK. The electric schemes you made with passion ? DEAD. The diagrams you made with Word ? SLEEPIN' WITH THE FISHES."
Because of course, an internship report is not allowed to explain the scientific background around the internship (even if the title of the report contains these words) because "well duh its boring and we don't care talk about the analysis"... what the fuck, seriously ?
These analysis were a TOTAL (but highly predictable) FAILURE, I'm don't see myself writing 25 pages of "FAILFAILFAILFAILFAIL"...
What really worries me is that I put a lot of effort in this internship, effort I didn't put in my mathematic courses, and may ruin my semester in the worst case scenario... ...but on the brighter side, if all goes "for the best" (that is to say that the professors don't burn me alive during the presentation and I get my semester), I will have some contacts in a lab for a future application (especially my internship responsible, who made good comments at my professors about my hard work) The internship responsible at the lab was great, but I'm kinda frustrated by his lack of grasp on the reality and heavily frustrated by the lab's extreme lack of funding... |

Failing as hard as I can at Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. - Made a Kobold Charlatan (Artificer), which I consider to be a balanced stealth-based character. Found the almost-perfect spellbook for my character : the Burglar's Magical Assistant. But of course, despite being descripted as a class with a certain affinity for magic, the Artificer can't learn a single spell... wtf ?
- Made a Human Preacher (Priest, follower of Zin) for the lulz : found 3 freakings spellbooks but always same problem, this class can't learn any spells. Whatever. I kept preaching at kobolds, goblins until an Orc Priest came up with his folks and owned me.
- Made a Mummy Priest (a follower of the god of death) still for the lulz : raising armies of undead rats, newt and goblins is cool until a real monsters comes up and owns you.

When he returns in the Wastelands with the Zombie Hunters, Charlie throws a party with his old 'Zerker friends, after some time, Milo joins them, they all pass out sooner or later and when Charlie's friends wake up, they eat Milo because they are hungry and berzerkers so that's why Jenny hates Charlie.

Is there an evil version of a Paladin? If I recall well the paladin can be either Lawful Good or Lawful Evil... but since he converted, he should have lost all his previous Paladin spells, so you should give him the skill tree of a warrior-like (or spellblade-like) class. Also an unrelated question- I've been wanting to start a game for quite some time now. I've seen an RP system that I like the look of, but have never played it. There are no games of it running that I know of. Do you guys think it'd be a good idea to try running it, or would sheer unfamiliarity with the rules ruin it? It depends of the length of the game and the complexity of the system. I suggest you to run a "blank" game first, that is to say a very short game (can be completed in a few hours), with a basic plot, just to see if you and your players enjoy the system, to grasp the basics of the system and to introduce this system to your regular/most experienced players. |
