I shall make cash-register noises in honour of this month in Underland.

If you're going to do a new edition of T&J, do a new edition of T&J.

Also, frankly, I liked it better without all the extra jargon and structure that # added. I don't want a damn Forte, I just want to decide what I'm Good and Poor at.

[drivingblind]

You mean you want to decide what Qualities and Super-Qualities you're Good and Poor at. No fair comparing a whole apple to a slice of an apple.

True. It's been a while since I played with the system, so I forgot.

However, at no point in the T&J/regular PDQ process was I told, "Okay, now pick one of your Qualities or Super Qualities to be your Squamish, another to be your Bibble, and don't forget to select a Double Shyamalan, which must be a Super Quality, preferably from this list."

I wanted to create a Seven Skies character with qualities like "Dashing Swordsman" and "Laughing and Leaping" (cut down from Laughing with Hands on Hips and Leaping Off Of Things). I don't know which one is/should be his Forte and I don't scuppering care. When the rules get in the way of my fun, I pitch them. If they aren't my game or my rules, I don't play.

(cheap fake edit for afterthought)
Also? When you put exclamation marks after EVERYTHING, it doesn't make everything more awesome. Constant emphasis becomes meaningless, like painting everything the same color of day-glo orange.

I wouldn't have heard about this if it wasn't for LJ. Sheesh, and they say it's obsolete.
