"Or, you know, artifact investigation from a team that knows how to end dangers quickly."
Kyle looks for an exit.

"What, they wouldn't have noticed the whole people-who-play-with-it-disappear thing? And wouldn't they have included documentation requesting we do so? And wouldn't they do basic investigation before giving it to a bunch of adolescents who happen to be able to use magic?"

I wouldn't be able to get to it, because I still can't get the base assault mission to work. Which lets me segue to...

Annoyed by that $20 I spent on a game that apparently overloads my video driver thingy, I decide to try something...interesting.
Who wants to take bets on how long I last on Impossible difficulty? (Also, all of the base Second Wave adjustments were enabled.)

There is a fix to the video card problem. It's actually an issue with Steam. There is a third party program which disables something called 'Steam CEG' or something like that, which will make the game run properly though it has to be run prior to starting the game every time you restart your computer.

I found the program again since Borderlands 2 is free for the weekend and is giving me the same BSOD that X-Com gives. It's called Orochi-CEG. In retrospect since reading that it has something to do with processors and not video card problems, I'm unsure if your problem is the same as mine, but I figured I would post about it regardless.

I hope you're not offended by this, but once more I'd like to ask for someone to confirm what Duuvian is saying here.

Not finished with my sheet yet, but I'm just wondering if the stats are okay.

I think you carried an extra 1.

GWG.
That only gets you to the OOC.
Which doesn't have a link to the IC.
Maybe you should try using it yourself first? 

Yes. I looked more than three results down.
(It's #5.)

god damnit, another plot wherein I only see the intro, but the action is at 1am. Being european in an america-centric game is suffering.

Given the number of times my zone has caused me to miss whole plots, it ain't much better for Americans.

Kay then, I guess I'm gonna have Nonoka run off and explore the human world.

She does so.

This will end well!
((I'm being sarcastic.))

Kyle nods.
"You say that like eldritch abomination means something to me about the person."

"They were lying to you. Definitely lying by omission about their nature, probably lying directly about their motives."

I'd say they have about as much in common with Biblical angels as pop-culture ones. They're a lot more normal than Biblical ones but weirder than PCAs.

What in the Warrens makes you think these are Biblical angels?

Still sounds sucky. I like Elf's system and dammit I'll defend it.

I'm behind a system that works.
Elf's system, maybe, but I'd reduce the die size to something like 20 or 30. Then, luck and attributes have roughly equal import.

Bah, luck should never have an equal share.

Currently, under Elf's share, it has the greater share.
