Houston, we have a problem

[thessalian]

My right hand is having intermittent stabs of pain. My left hand is throbbing slightly. Yet I have Dr Propper's clinic tape and 4996 words to go on the NaNoWriMo. Maybe cholten99 was right -- I finish this, and then my hands fall off.

Ow.

In other news, I am going to try to track down a roll & keep version of the bloody Explorers' Society book (because God help me I cannot read the d20 rules without my head blowing up). Also the Vendel/Vesten book. I'd ideally love to play a sorcerer (though I am getting a little sick of cholten99 telling me that the rules are broken for any magic but the Bargainer's Arts) but I can't play a Strega because that's stepping on Andy P's toes, I can't play Porte mage because a) that's cholten99's thing and b) it's boring, I can't play Zerstorung because I can't think of a good enough excuse and I can't play El Fuego Adentro because no one will let me (though I can actually think of a halfway decent reason that an El Fuego Adentro mage would want to be a member of the Explorers' Society). This leaves me with Glamour, Pyreym or Laerdom, and Christ am I fed up with playing Avalons. Or pseudo-Avalons. So, since I can't play the El Fuego Explorer I would ideally love to try out, I figure I'll at least take a stab at rolling up a rune mage. It probably won't work out -- I really haven't got the time to roll up yet another character anyway -- and I'll wind up playing my poor weedy scholar again. Whoopee.

Then sushi. All on my lonesome. Bwah. Then home to get at least another 2000 words down.

What's wrong with D20 rules? (Not that I know 7th Sea and whether they've butchered the rules there).

I never actually played straight D&D, so I don't know if the rules system works okay there, or even if the Swashbuckling Adventures (7th Sea D20) system works when applied across the board. It's just that when you're trying to fish roll & keep rules, costs and miscellany out of a book designed for people playing the D20 system, it's not exactly like falling off a log.
