Two Neat Things

HDA at My Terrible Sorcery Is Without Equal In The West gives us this Secret Santicore post about RPG drugs.  Try it, you'll like it.

Also, I told you to read E. M. Lamb's Role-Player Hater for stuff like this.

One final note: E. M. Lamb did a post about character generation for our upcoming Traveller game (hint: it was awesome).  If playing Traveller is half as fun as making a character, it'll be a great game.

For the record, I'm happy with how my character's backstory ended.  My stats were basically unchanged, but as I aged, my mental and physical statistics switched (he started out with high physical statistics and roughly average mental statistics).  Quite frankly, I'm happy with the arrangement, as it pretty accurately reflects a wise, old, ex-military commander with a war wound who went a little soft in retirement.

I still haven't decided if I want to play my retired Space Marine as Hunter Thompson or if he is more subdued in retirement, but we'll see.  Either would be entertaining.
