Well, I had a 2/3 crappy day at the convention today. I want to be entirely accurate. One of my slots really was a lot of fun. The first Cthulhu slot I played a 63 year old woman who is a whole lot more that what she seems. You know, the surfing, boxing kind of grandma. The next slot was a really really long RP about this group of US army guys who go down in this cave and start encounter fantasy stuff. Three of the six people playing had a heavy amount of military experience and it wasn't long before the entire thing dissolved into a discussion of jargon and acronyms that I had no hope of knowing. That and my brain creaking to remember 3.5 D&D rules after having run WoD for the past couple of years, made the whole experience very painful. Not only that, but the combats eeked on like a minatures game and I had to get home to bring my dog in and feed her so that she wouldn't be stranded until the wee hours of the morning like now... when I'm writing. So I got home, got my dog game back and then there was slot 3.

Slot three is the player competition one, so you want to do good character roleplay. The thing was that I really didn't have much to do. Maybe I'm not creative enough, maybe I'm not a good enough roleplayer, but my character sheet basically said that things were bad in this place here and that I was ordered by the elders of my race to help out. It also specified that I didn't really care. Well shoot, that's great. I am a lizardperson with hella psionic skills and absolutely no reason to be there. Well damn. The best thing about all that is that was how most of the character were: completely divorced from context or motivation. I admit, many players made valiant attempts to make the game happen, but in the end I spent a lot of time just staring at the faces of the two people who actually did have any plot relevance and seraching frantically for a hook or at very least something to do. Squat. Absolutely squat. Even when the DM occasional turned his head around to recognize that I existed, there still wasn't much there. At the end my character got an up close and personal view of the mind of the "Wise One" who we were supposed to kill and I realized that the "Wise One" seems like the good guy and we seem like the bad guys. I was right. I tried to thwart the party. The DM thwarted me by killing me off. Deus Ex Machina. W007. Okay, so it turns out that part two relies on the fact that the "Wise One" has been obliterated by the idiot party of Part 1 and the fact that my character came to this realization was terribly inconvenient, but still, killing me off just because like that? That's a little low. So, going home today I felt really rotten. Not about what I did at the end because it was the only original thing I was able to do all night. I felt rotten because for the past 6 hours or so I felt like all I was doing was being ordered around and minimized by bad flipping DMing. GAHHHRLGGG

Having no background knowledge, this post is very confusing for me. But it's also strangely funny. :P
