I respond with this sentence.
Just as you finish typing those words, Kevin busts through the door behind you and shouts, "Haha, now the actions reported as occuring in this experiement no longer mirror the actions happening in real life!" Then, as you and Kevin stare at each other in bewilderment, you both realize that this IS the strange universe where the experiment DOES mirror real life, and to confirm this, you check the blog to find this entry. (PS> Your's and Kevin's brains then explode.)
A part of me was very disheartened when you didn't actually bust through the door in this universe. It would have kept the circle, and it also would have driven me totally insane.
Well now that we've broken away we might as well go ahead with an adventure about fighting, gallantry, and treasure...
Ok... so you're sitting in a seedy tavern. A one eyed man beckons you from a table in the corner.
Oh wait, I forgot that our brains exploded, so I guess you just sit there staring vacuously at the one eyed man. Too bad, because he was going to tell you a story of buried treasure and your long lost sister or something like that.
As it stands he sneaks up on you and, upon realizing you have no mental faculties, takes your +3 sword and your many gold pieces. But you gain 5 exp points for role-playing a brainless man so well.
Next adventure: MUTINY ON THE TCS DAUNTLESS (Hey man, wanna buy a Broadway card?), using modified Gurps Space/Battletech and Gurps Gay Marriage.
GURPS Gay Marriage Advantages/Disadvantages
No Gay-dar -10 or -20 Points
You cannot tell a gay person from a straight person. Any information you recieve about someones sexual orientation must be taken on faith. Only extreme acts of homoeroticism will reveal a persons 'gayness', though this by no means ensures that the person makeing the advances is in fact gay. Characters with the 'No Gay-dar' disadvantage are therefore open to 'Gay-ception' by imposters who may try to pass as gay. For straight characters, this is a 10 point disadvantage; for gay ones, 20 points. Please note that gay character with this disadvantage may have a difficult time finding a marriage partner.
Homophobia -10/-30 points
You hate gay people. Any interaction with an openly gay person requires a reaction role at -2. Critical failures result in a complete breakdown of communication. This is a 10 point disadvantage if you are straight, 30 if you are gay. If a gay character has this disadvantage, they must make a will check every day. Failure results in a bout a self-flagellation (5 rounds) and -1 HP for the day.
You walk in one day late to find two old friends dead on the floor from some sort of simultaneous cranial bomb explosion.
And you never told them that sometimes you read their blogs.
Make that five days late, and the smell is impressive.
Advantages/Disadvantages
------------------------
-10/-20 Pattern Seeker
While with a Party you must stop for 5+ minutes (determined by roll) to inexplicably stare at the innate detail of an item of nature, and innordinately describe its characteristics as they pertain to the meaning of the universe or else in a self-referential manner. Though this causes endless frustration to others - particularly so in getaway situations - you are helplessly bound to your fascinations and hapless quest to understand the meaning behind the existence of everything.
