Cold

These days I'm guessin' our characters are reflecting ourselves in a lot of ways, in KTDARPG.

Some characters are outgoing, expressive, friendly, helpful. They talk to you, laugh with you, cry with you. Through the players' work, you get to glimpse inside the mind of these guys 'n girls, see what they think, what makes them tick.

Other characters are ... well, might as well put it bluntly -- dickheads. Cold fish. Arrogant. Snide. Maybe just plain wary and unfriendly. I guess some people have a right to be that way. "Once burned, twice shy" and all that. It just makes it hard to play with, when characters shut down and take all they can from you but give nothing in return. Yeah, dickheads.

It could be winter burnout, I guess. We're all gettin' tired of it, being cold & cooped up & bored. That could be translating itself into our writing 'n how we move our characters around the game board. If that is indeed the case? Then HURRY SPRING!

It's one thing to be cold on the outside--grab a blanket or somebody to cuddle with, and this too shall pass.

But cold on the inside? Much, much scarier.
