Eighth Dimension: #96 An Authentic RPG

Posted Mon, 24th Jan '11 at 6:31pm by 8people (8 Tales)

After reading the article on The Authentic RPG and its Demise I feel a strange need to consolidate the genre.

More choice! More open ended! More player interaction with the characters and settings!

And I find myself wondering - how much choice is too much choice? A dark and brooding loner may be a compelling character to play but if the main storyline is about a happy chirpy group working together like a big happy family then the character is forced to evolve beyond...

Eighth Dimension: #95 Fun With Study Support

Posted Fri, 14th Jan '11 at 6:29pm by 8people (8 Tales)

Had a long meeting at university today.

I think the meeting was only meant to be half an hour but ended up taking almost two. As it turns out I *am* getting Disabled Students Allowance but the local council didn't think it was necessary to inform either me or my university about it. Why? Because I was assessed for it three years ago at a different university so there was no need for an update. Aside from the fact that when applying there were calls and requests for an update due to...

Cane and Able: #20 Standards

Posted Sat, 8th Jan '11 at 6:24pm by 8people (8 Tales)

It appears the Pain Clinic local to me has exceptional standards for allowing in the riff raff. I made an appointment in November for February (There are waiting lists for these exclusive clinics beyond reasonable) and it appears yesterday they sent a letter to inform me that I do not meet their criteria!

I'm sorry, but a clinic set up to deal with LONG TERM PAIN MANAGEMENT is rejecting someone who has had painful dislocations since she was nine months old and been on prescription...

Cane and Able: #19 Winter Warmth

Posted Tue, 21st Dec '10 at 10:43am by 8people (8 Tales)

The government makes payments if the weather is below a certain temperature for seven consecutive days for the elderly and disabled over winter.

That's nice of them.

Except if say, every sixth day the region you are allocated goes up to or a degree over the border the government has set.

Also the payment is a tenner which pays for roughly five or six days heating in a 10' by 10' room with adjoined bathroom and small kitchen area.
