gaming, yo
alright, i'm pretty ashamed to say that i'm part of a game that uses the buffy the vampire slayer system. i'm in this game solely because i was assured that the game itself would have nothing to do with buffy -- i've never seen the show and have no intention of doing so, but the system is actually pretty alright. very straightforward and easy to use, a really good one if you're running/playing a game with beginners. but anyway, the set up is sort of like a television show in that we do it in seasons. so our season is about over, we've got like two more sessions in it, and then we may be waiting till next spring (it is a distinct possibility) for the new one. x_x

so my character is the only one in our party who is a hero (as opposed to a whitehat, the sort of classes... basically i started out with more points to spend but less plot points to use), and that's always fun. this is the first time i've actually played anyone who was central to the story in such a way. which is great, because i've put so much work into my character that he has a bunch of side-story junk going on that has actually integrated itself into the main story. the bad part is that this means my character is always running off doing his own stuff and leaving everyone else more or less completely defenseless.

...yea, he doesn't think about others much.

but anyway, i was really excited last night when i got home. after our session ended, we talked a little bit about what we're gonna do while we're waiting for the next season, and our gm mentioned that he would be interested in running a new game with another system, if we'd like to keep meeting. looks like that's what we're gonna do, but i finally realized my character type.

for those who aren't rpg-ers, what i mean is... well, each person i know has a type of character. for example... one of my friends always plays someone who is both mentally and physically weak and relies almost exclusively on magic. another of my friends always plays someone who is a complete tank, deals massive physical damage and is pretty okay at weapons use.

this is the first game i've done well in because i have stumbled across my type. my type is a hunter. this is good, because they're usually pretty well-rounded and i strive for that. generally they will be physically focused, but mostly in dexterity and secondarily will have a high strength. the mental stats are still generally average or above average, which is good, cause i don't have to play someone dumb.

i'm still massively excited about the game i'm in now. i want to know what will happen~ >_<

yea, that's right -- i listen to soft cell. so you see, it's not exclusively metal. XD
