I was just brainstorming with most of that post. When I brainstorm I come up with a lot of bad ideas and one or two good ones, at most. The trick is to recognise the good one if it's there.
I wouldn't seriously want to game evrey day or have a multi-genre game with evreybody playing something different, it was just an idea. If applied by a player making a character or by an ST the computer program I described could be useful. Example: Jim wants us to run into something weird at the bar tonight but isn't sure what he wants us to run into so he opens the random person generator, modifys the calculations to ignore the highly improbable results and the things he does not want them running into. For example, make a 'vampire only' algorithm, or a feature where you can set how many freebies or XP the program can use for traits so you can set whether they run into an antedeluvian or a 13th gen 7/5/3. Jim hits 'Run'. Out pops the weird and he puts it in the bar.
"Don't insult an ST who's game your currently in moron. It's a good way to die."
First of all, I did not want to insult him. If clumsy was a social trait I'd have it X2. Secondly, Jim simply does not play that way. He's too sportsmanlike. I could give specific examples of Jim being fair to people who disagree with him and insult him but I won't because I don't want to open old wounds and see flames evreywhere.
