Saturday Stuff
Jan. 30th, 2005 02:53 pmI went to Mikveh Israel yesterday and watched them do a Torah service. Then I went to Chinatown, which was nearby, and got some incense, a sparkly wall scroll, and some red bean buns for the Vampire game later that night. Chinatown has the coolest stuff!
I spent the rest of the afternoon transcribing the interview I had with the rabbi at Mishkan Shalom that I'd done for my thesis. I was very excited when it came time for the one-shot Vampire game![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drakonous was running, but a few things went wrong.
First, I'd taken some medication in the afternoon that made me feel ill, so I didn't get the character creation done as quickly as I would have otherwise. Second, our Storyteller had to fix a dorm housing problem that some total asshat had screwed up, so we didn't get to the game until late and it's become a two-shot instead of a one-shot.
My character did turn out quite well, though, and I found some merits to "shortcut" my needs in certain stats. I've kept her very in-character, too. The problem is, this seems to be a very combat-heavy game, and my character's forte is manipulation, not combat. Though her Dominate and Thaumaturgy abilities have proved useful, I feel kind of useless when I see other people using Celerity and Protean and the like. Still, I'm having fun.
drakonous says he will be running other one-shots this semester. I made up another Vampire character for a future game, and she's way different from anything I've ever played before.
