I should be able to learn at least the most obvious things about Australian culture, history and geography - and fauna, of course - before friday. I'm perhaps a little late, as my Mage: The Ascencion campaign situated in Brisbane is starting the day after tomorrow, but hey, improvisation has always been my strong point. And even if it so happens I don't exactly remember all of the rules, well, as the GM I am the rules. The Paradox works exactly the way I tell you, regardless what it says in the book, and the metapsychical context of mine just might slighty differ from the original.
(Original metapsyshics of Mage being as vague as it is, it's quite possible to make almost anything of the world. I would yet like to write an adventure where a little colony in an alien planet [actually a constuct of technocrachy, althought none of the players knows that] meets dream-like horrors, as some lovecraftian space-entity with it's own, bizarre near-umbra approaches. Me and J already have a planet ready for this scenario.)
I trust upcoming campaign will get started quite smoothly. Me, my three friends, late night, something nice to eat and drink and (hopefully)a fine plot. However, I just wonder how actively we will be able to play when the autumn term begins, with all the other ongoing campaigns I'm taking part in. There is this two-year-old Praedor (a Finnish role-playing system) campaign, a detective game without a name, an attempt to get through Beyond the Mountains of Madness, a great Legend of the Five Rings campaign and, finally, a not-so-serious D&D campaign for the domination of the world. Also, I'm expecting some more experimental projects to turn up. I wonder if my Mage will live, but hope for the best.
Other things. After a month of delays and waiting, the elevator of our building was finally repaired. Consequently, notes that numerous angry students had left to the elevator door were also removed, which is a pity. "Please help! We repairmen have been stuck here at the bottom of the elevator shaft and have had nothing to eat for a week! And the elevator is still not repaired!", the first one, was my personal favorite. I haven't even lost any weight climbing eighty steps up and down few times a day, because most of the time I was going out to buy ice cream.
I've always been quite slim, though, so that hardly matters.
Okay, back to Australia. Koala is such a sympathetic animal.
