Summer School Worries

As counter-intuitive as it seems, my best shot for an online course over the Summer may be Microeconomics. I checked out the teacher on ratemyprofessor.com and he has high ratings, assigns little homework and seems to answer his students questions fairly.

Why not pursue a dream?

You know what? I need to learn how to script a comic book!

Well, frak.

Lead Manager: “You have to be paid on at least one app to start receiving leads and then submit at least 4  month to keep receiving them.”

Me: “Well great then. I submitted two BCBS, one Assurant Dental, and one CBL in April so that qualifies according to the rules, correct?”
Lead Manager: *crickets for three hours and counting*
*sigh* No reply. It’s official. My company has cut off my leads and seems to be fucking with me. Leads shut down, non-payment on issued business… time to look elsewhere.
Maybe it’s a miscommunication (or series thereof), but given my last experience I’m not waiting around to see.

Brilliant Ideas on the Backs of Mice

So a friend shared this link with me regarding the Mouse Guard RPG and it’s mechanic which tends to enforce role-playing:

http://penny-arcade.com/report/editorial-article/mouse-guard-is-a-tabletop-rpg-that-forces-you-to-become-your-character-if-y

This has given me a few great ideas I can swipe to enforce more role-playing in other games. The three points of belief, goal, and instinct are great; maybe instead of fate points I can use Hero points for re-rolls and die bonuses and instead of persona points I can award additional XP like it’s a quest award.

Any thoughts on this?
