MAX MCGEE'S PROFILE

Strongly tempted to dabble with some side project(s). Struggling against it but it feels like an unwinnable uphill struggle.

It's not even that I'm despairing of the possibility of Lionheart finding an audience--for once I'm actually not--my brain is just crying out with longing for something new and different to chew on.

Will there be a theme or anything or is it just "make games go nuts"?

I'm one of those people who actually finds a theme or some kind of artificial constraint to be actually liberating rather than restrictive...as long as the theme isn't like, so stupid it's actively toxic.

surely intent can't be *the most important* ingredient?? you can intend on doing something and still never get it done./

Adon, as someone who has studied Crowley and other magical traditions extensively in my life path as a gigantic nerd, he doesn't mean intent as in "intentions" as in "the noblest of intentions". He means intent as in "will" as in "will to power".

I.e. my intention is to finish games but I clearly lack intent i.e. will.

@PianoTM:

I was only being semi-facetious when I suggested that Red_Nova could have some negative magickal energy being channeled at him. Officially speaking, I don't believe in any system of magic any more than I believe in Leprechauns. But I have to say the sheer avalanche of seemingly random misfortune Red_Nova described facing seems like it defies any mundane explanation. It did remind me of the harmful sendings and magical "wars" alleged to have taken place between Crowley and his contemporaries during the rocky years of the O.T.O..

I would suggest Red do the white sage cleanse. While as mentioned I do not actually believe in this stuff (I just know a lot about it) I mean even if you put the chance of it having any effect at 1% or less, $5.00 is a bargain.

I'm mean I'll be honest I am down for this if some cool and/or unexpected person unexpectedly says they want to work with me out of the blue or if I get randomly paired with someone lame.

If it's the usual "make your own teams" thing and I do my usual "too shy to ask anyone" thing, or if it's random pairings and I get paired to someone...I don't want to say 'someone lame' because I don't want to be mean, but someone kind of random that I'm not that interested in working with, well in either of those cases I'm not so down with this.

I know that's probably pretty selfish but I figure it is probably best to be honest. If this is "opportunity to work with cool different people" I am very interested but if it is just "opportunity to stress out massively over making something non-embarrassing in 72 hrs or less" then I am less interested.

But while I'm being brutally honest: as someone who has tried to organize things in the past and been screwed over by people's unexpected flakiness, my own flakiness for the purposes of this event should be considered near maximum. These days I seldom have the energy to work on my own game, which I am basically socially obligated to complete, let alone anything more whimsical. So the chance of me evaporating is just unfortunately high. It's nothing personal just my health isn't awesome which means my energy isn't high which means it is hard to keep the fires of creative endeavor stoked. and let's be honest the amount of videogames available to goof off by playing is extraordinary right now

So I mean with all those asterisks for what they're worth, there is my sign up.

I'll echo that I don't think the tier idea is a very good one.

I have never played a Dragonquest.
