Bloodlines are in and available. Thank you @Ganymede!
Thank you for putting them in and giving my ideas life.

I vote against Dead Wolves being Gangrel-only, but it is what it is. MAYBE ROME (where I'll pitch it now, whee)
I'll bite: why?
Tracking back a bit, let's not forget the wonderful games Naughty Dog and Guerilla put out.
I mean, Sony.

Dear sinuses. The high tomorrow will be 90.
The high Monday will be 76.
Wuss.
Here in Ohio, we have weeks that start with a high of 90 and fall to a low of 40.
You don't want to live in the Miami Valley. Ask Auspice.
For all of our dysfunction, the surviving merit that I generally see here is that the community generally likes seeing others get ahead.
Probably because we know what the converse is like.
What everyone else said.
You have code skills and excellent Photoshop skills. Market those. Data entry should be in your wheelhouse.
But it also depends on the job you want. Tailor your resume for that. Hell, even tailor the language of your resume and cover letter to meet the prospective employee’s mission statement.
MsPris is an excellent resource.

POLL: Do you want A Normal Freehold That's Always Been There But Nobody Really Ever RPed About It or do you want There Was A Scary Thing That Kept Changelings Away But Now It's Gone And That's Its Own Kind of Scary? Caveat: I may ignore what the responses are and do what I want anyway. I may also steal ideas here that are not those two and run with them if they're better than mine.
I like the second option.
Two armies squared off in the Near Dreaming. The local militia outnumbered 3 to 1. The invading army demands a parley. The PCs are the local nobility.
One pulls out a gun and fires a shot in response.
Which goes through the opposing commander’s head.
This ended the invasion and about six months of my planning.
Jennkryst’s perspective is one way to look at it, sure.
Another is that, as a spirit cop, you have to also prevent spirits from having a way in. That means eliminating people who cause the problem.
You are also hunted by your brethren (The Pure) who think you murdered Spirit Dad. You have to protect yourself against that while respecting the rule not to kill another brother or sister.
There’s a lot to unpack in the game, and you don’t need to be a wolf or wolf blooded to participate.
I will make a PC vampire once or if the bloodlines are written out and installed. I will make a wolf until then.
But I won’t do either until I move into my new house fully and work lets up a bit thereafter.

Uh. Are there any ones who aren't, you know... awful?
All and none. It is a matter of perspective.
On topic, sort of:
I concur. Habeas work does require an individualized approach.
Copy and paste, then edit to make it more applicable. Do not forget the editing part. As you do this repeatedly, you will hone the document until you need to edit it less and less. My eviction practice runs really smoothly after several years of doing this with my complaints.
Charge full time for your efforts.
@Arkandel said in The Basketball Thread:
He didn't have to speak at all. If he had done nothing I would have been fine with it - there's no reason or way for someone to champion all fights.
This is sort of clap-trap is frustratingly naive. Your silence can and will be used against you in the public court of opinion.
LeBron has other concerns than basketball that aren’t half as selfish as people presume. He’s demonstrated his philanthropy in a way that inspires other basketball players.
He had to say something and what he said was absolutely appropriate under the circumstances. Everyone has a right to criticize the Chinese; but everyone has a right to point out that actions have consequences. Or, as they say in America, if you don’t like it get the fuck out.
I concur. Some choice is nice, but not necessary. I played around with the idea, and made three other races for my own system (elves, dwarves, wildlings).
@SG said in The ethics of IC romance, TS, etc:
With the nature of mushes being what they are, I think it's reasonable to expect every relationship being poly unless it's explicitly exclusive.
If you say so, but there are outliers. Pretty much every meaningful IC relationship I have had has been monogamous, right down to Wes from Fear and Loathing (he was crazy).
I played one of your romantic leads long ago, and it was really a lot of fun.

Erin was always civil to Charlie.
This is how Trash Pandas show their love.
