Can't Win

We sort of had a session of Jeff's D20 Star Wars game last night. Stacey and David showed up late... David didn't do much except work on his character the whole time. Stacey's character, having finally achieved a sufficient level in 'priest of the way' to use dark side powers without going crazy, became our 'dark side bitch'.

There seems to be a pattern of unrelenting punishment for taking any action in this game. Anything we do not only doesn't work, but makes the overall situation worse. I don't think we've ever done anything that had a positive effect, except possibly on our own personal power.

It's pretty sad when being locked in prison feels like respite.
