loser like me!
a real life rpg set in new york state, 2015!
( plot - rules - faces - apply - advertise )
I know what it’s like; you get out of high school and you think you’ve made it. Eighteen, and the whole freaking world is your oyster. Broadway dreams, becoming a doctor, or an author, running your own business...you forget about the hard work to get there. You forget about four years of college, studying some degree that you’ll never use again. You forget about medical school, or law school, about years of slogging away in the back row of the chorus where nobody knows who you are – and that’s for the lucky people who actually have some idea what they want to do with their lives. You forget about the fact that you’re not as big, or as grown up, as you think you are, and aside from those lucky few who surpass us all and get what they want straight away—it’s a lot harder to achieve our dreams than your eighteen year old self thought.
It’s not going to stop people trying, though; the new school year is well underway, holiday season is approaching, and in Albany, New York, the recruiters are out in force. If you have talent, this is the time to be seen. Whatever it is you do, whether you’re just starting out at college or nearing the end of your time, or even have passed that, and settled into a job that you hate (or maybe one you love), if you want to make it big and achieve those dreams, now is when you want to do it.
And in New York City itself—well, if you’re there, you’ve made it, right? Hah, you wish. It’s a little different to life where you may have grown up, faster paced, harder to really make your name heard, but it’s possible, if you try hard enough...and if you’re living here, you’re going to try. Even if you’ve got where you wanted to be, though, there is still more you could have, still things that you dream about – you might know what you’re doing with your life, good for you, but that doesn’t mean everything. Not if you’re doing it alone, not if you’re away from your family, not if you just feel as though something’s lacking.
I hope you find it soon. Otherwise you’re just going to be a LOSER LIKE ME.
