Hunter the Vigil by White Wolf is my personal latest RPG. It looks like a really good system. If you're familiar with the World of Darkness then hunter plays much like that - except with many different rules for making certain things cheaper. Merits like Status now confer other merits as bonuses for gaining them. Or there are powers such as Professional Training which is a specialized form of contacts that also slowly grows your ability to grow a small set of skills. It also gives a large set of rules for using Willpower in creative ways or going insane as your hunter goes down in morality. Or new powers based on the faith of the hunter. But other than that - the hunters are completely normal mortals. (OK - it looks like a long list - but in reality their powers are: the ability to Risk willpower to get some extra effects - small, the ability to spend merits on either making skills/merits cost less, and access to merits which are POWERS. The powers are REALLY strange - to the point it makes hunters in some way Supernatural - I'll get to that in a second).

Ya know, non-Christians have weird ideas of what it means to be Christians. I, of course, blame Christians. However, Christians also have a weirdass idea of what it means to be Christians. Hell, I am still gonna blame Christians.

Never forget which SQL database is which. Seriously. I accidentally deleted this one while playing around. GAH

So - this is simply pulled from a LiveJournal - but worth preserving in my mind.

My firm belief is that eventually people will talk about how Capitalism and Democracy look really good on paper but are really bad in practise. Even if the systems don't go away perhaps we can stop LYING about them.

I really hate this. We have fucking POP servers. We have fucking SMTP servers. THEY ARE GENERALIZED. Use them!

My Dearest Sagebrush

It has come to my attention that you have recently graduated from the Tempters' Training College for young demons and have recieved your first patient. Of course you must be very happy. You know of course that your father, and my nephew, failed on his own very first assignment and therefore I have decided to give you as much advice as befits an old hand to a young pup.
