Groundhog Day & Immortality


The movie Groundhog Day always makes me think about the nature of immortality from the perspective of boredom. I have talked about this relatively recently on the Synapse blog as well. As much as I love Vampire the Masquerade, I feel like it is more likely that Vampires would be consumed by boredom more than by passion. Kind of like a Lich.

Maybe one day, I will figure out how I can represent this with an RPG mechanic. Maybe like a kind of hit point system where over time you lose interest in things and must be re-ignited in some way.

Oh well, that is a problem for the future. Maybe. Assuming I don't wake up and repeat this day again.
