>Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '16

shit would be amazing

>>8684210
Have any of you read Game Change or Double Down? I know they can't possibly live up to Fear and Loathing, but are they worth reading?

>implying American philosophy isn't just American political philosophy

Try again.

>>8683318
Read Hemingway and then Faulkner. Just to cement the fact that all American novels are the same.

unless its supposed to be super technical and contributive to discourse, you can easily knock that out over two nights, one spent on composition and the other on substantive revision/clarification.

you got this. youve already discovered the beautiful skeleton that is outline.

>print the calendar
"wah! no printer access"
>turn on some music
>copy the calendar on to some loose paper in your house.

#2 - DAILY WALKS.
>Walk around two blocks in your neighborhood every day. I know the prospect of other people seeing you outdoors is scary as fuck. Just get over it, and repeat.
>You don't need to run. You don't need to go for excessive time or distance. Just two blocks around your neighborhood in a big circle.

#3 - GET A REAL GOAL.
If your a writer dedicate your self to Nanowrimo.

Read the players handbook, get excited about creating a character, find a local game. Or do what I do and just read the books for inspiration. Dunno if many ppl play 3.5 anymore.

>>8683225
There is a starter set available for purchase that includes a campaign, dice, pre-made character sheets, and basic rulebook on Amazon. With that you can just gather up a few friends and meet regularly.
Don't have friends? Just look up whatever game store/college campus is near you and find out if they have weekly meetups.
Or, if you don't want to waste money on a starter set, just read the player's handbook to get an idea of how it plays.

If you want to be a writer convince a publisher to publish your work.

Nah you could just be a celebrity and write TRASH like Dmitri Martin.

>How do they write different sorts of characters then and not make them out to be some kind of twisted/evil/insane/unreasonable caricature meant only to pose as a soundboard for their own beliefs?

Hi, I'm not sure if you're familiar with the fantasy genre, but I recommend you read a few of the books before continuing.

Nobody in fantasy writes interesting characters. The good guys are cyphers for the author, and the bad guys are caricatures that represent everything the author doesn't like. Some writers mix things up by giving the bad guys different sexual perversions to hate, but the overall effect is the same: you root for the good guys (assuming your political beliefs are in line with the authors) and they crush and kill the bad guys.
