Brief catchup: Adventure!

Last night's game of Adventure! was good, if slightly different from games I've played before.  There's a definite feel that the players and the GM are competing, and I'm get the impression it's been some time since anyone really read the basic rules - we seem to be using a mish-mash of Exalted (10s count as two successes) and 2nd Ed WOD (soak is rolled instead of subtracted from damage), and I'm not certain the multiple actions rules are working as intended.  But whether "as written" or not, the rules were certainly consistent; the game ran quick and smooth and everybody had a great time, which is after all the point.  The most important rule in the book is "if you don't like it, change it" so as long as everybody's happy it doesn't really matter.

Things were certainly within the pulp idiom; in the middle of a three-way fight my character got annoyed with trying to figure out who was on whose side and just started lamping anyone dressed in black (yes, I'm being boring and playing Dirk "Rock" Hardy again).  He may have accidentally done enough damage with a single blow to murder one of the poor three-health-level extras.  Certainly several of them will require some not inconsiderable time in the hospital.  Whoops!

Today's Interview

Interview in pub in Nantwich.  Company is not in fact Spanish; their office is only there because the MD decided he wanted to live in Spain.

The interviewer said I was perhaps too technical in experience for the position they were thinking of (which was odd since he basically described a technical position, I think maybe they're really looking for an extra pair of hands to take some of the workload).  He did, however, like the idea of my design skills and thought maybe there could be room for me in the company.  (Of course he could have just been saying that.)

He was the spitting image of wibblefish.

Finally: Separated at birth?
