The rules of Random Banter
(Please follow these to ensure a safe and pleasant journey)

1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.

2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".

3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.

4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.

5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."

6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."

7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.

8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.

9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.

10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.

11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.

12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.

13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.

14. Once you have made a Random Banter thread, you must wait 50 threads before making another one.

15. If you can avoid dibs calling on making the next thread, that will avoid people needing to wait if the thread hits 50 pages while the dibs-caller is asleep.



Now let the banter commence! :3

[MoonCat]

No saving the thread for TechnoScrabble, I take it.


Oh well, at least it wasn't all that permanent then. Kids do funny things sometimes. It's almost like they're permanently on a caffeine overload.

Well, considering she still had the hairline fractures in her teeth a decade later, it was pretty permanent.

[LaZodiac]

Let us dance the dance of fun times. *boogies*

Mmm, tic-tacs, so delicious. I hope everyone's had a good day today.

[Coidzor]

Almost every single person I've seen say this has impeccible english.

*Impeccable.


You learn fast.

At any rate, things are sorted out. If sister has one more misstep, she's being sent to someplace that can help her.

Considering this is a pregnancy and/or pregnancy scare.... :smallconfused::smalleek::smallsigh:

[LaZodiac]

*Impeccable.

Considering this is a pregnancy and/or pregnancy scare.... :smallconfused::smalleek::smallsigh:

Yup :smallbiggrin:

This is the third or fourth time she's claimed she might be pregnant so I don't put any stock in it.

[Rain Dragon]

Almost every single person I've seen say this has impeccible english.

Mine is certainly not impeccable at all... Also, I do a lot of editing. I'm sure in person I am a lot less coherent.

Ah, sorry about that. :smallfrown:

Indeed, but if it were her adult teeth which were hit that would've been worse. That said, having hairline fractures on one's teeth for a decade is very bad.

Mmm, tic-tacs, so delicious. I hope everyone's had a good day today.

Fun time dance? /Jion puts on his party pants

Tic-tacs are too good. I thought they were supposed to freshen my breath not make me want to eat the whole pack!

EDIT - See, I took so long to write this short post and there are three more posts already...

Not always. Sometimes they're insulting. Like December's Skymall. It called the ViewMaster vintage. I'm too young (19) for my childhood to be vintage!

[FinnLassie]

I almost exclusively play evil players. Actually, at the moment I've managed to get out of DMing this time and am playing a LN monk. ...This is going to be tricky for me... Evil is very fun, but for some people it is easy to be confused with 'being a bit of a meanie'.

Ouch. If I get into university, I am definitely going to try finding electronic versions of textbooks. I'm strong enough, but my back is not good.

I pretty much always go for the chaotic good, but as I'm a druid in my current campaign at the RPG club... I just decided to go full neutral. :smalltongue: It'll be a tough thing to play...

A lot of the books are available electronically, but I cant concentrate on the screen too well. Only use them when the library copies are all taken of said book or I'm getting too close to the deadline.

So, I've been thinking about how long it has been since I've actually sat down to play a videogame online with other people...and have concluded that the entire year, I might have...twice. :smallannoyed: Perhaps I will not be renewing my Xbox live account.

Alas. How is the folkses of Randomness? I haven't been in posting attendance as much as I'd have liked in the previous thread, my lurking ample and tangient.

[EmeraldRose]

Excellent! Chaos should indeed follow being super-caffeinated.

In the meantime, my caffeine levels are dangerously low. This must be remedied IMMEDIATELY!!

Happy Thursday Everybody!

[Feytalist]

Heheh. This morning, I made myself my customary wake-up coffee. I had juuuust enough left over for one cup. But when I poured in the milk, all that came out was a white sludge. The milk was sour! And so I destroyed my only cup of coffee.

Suffice to say, the first couple of hours in the day was not fun.

If you have any online games for Steam, you could add me and we could play at some point in the future.

I'm doing good myself, aside from being woken up at 2 and then 4 because of my sister just not sleeping. But she leaves today for Auntie's house so that's all good :smalltongue:

:eek:

That's terrible! You must find coffee immediately! Or maybe start drinking your coffee without milk, to avoid the whole chance that the milk has become corrupted and chooses to kill your coffee. :smallfrown:

[Asta Kask]

Emmy, what's the longest time you've gone without coffee as an adult?

[Cristo Meyers]

Ugh, I really need to do something to get my mood up. More caffeine is always an option, but that involves getting something from the cafeteria downstairs and I'm trying to not do that.

Shaping up to be a long day, and I need to be ready for getting back into the Dresden Files game tonight...


If you have any online games for Steam, you could add me and we could play at some point in the future.

That reminds me, I really should finish that playthrough of XCOM. But then I remember I just shot down a battleship and I'm going to have to go through it with my B-team.

Plus I keep getting caught up in re-watching Leverage with my wife.


I'm doing good myself, aside from being woken up at 2 and then 4 because of my sister just not sleeping. But she leaves today for Auntie's house so that's all good :smalltongue:

I really hope that whole mess starts to clear up for you soon. I can't even begin to imagine what it's got to be like.

[LaZodiac]

Hug her. It sounds like she needs it.

She kind of does, but then at the same time she's the definition of "requires tough loving" at this point in time, because despite being kicked out of Mom's house, she still has the GALL to DEMAND things from Mom. Not ask, but demand.

[Asta Kask]

She's 16. Being unreasonable comes with the territory.

But you know her, and I don't, and you seem like a reasonable girl.

ETA: Has she been to a psychologist?

[Cuthalion]

Almost every single person I've seen say this has impeccible english.
It's true, though. Native speakers actually tend to pay less attention to it than those who are at a high enough level of learning.

*Impeccable.

I find there are very few attitude problems that cannot be fixed by a good kick in the teeth followed by a 'this is why you suck' speech. Kick optional.

[LaZodiac]

But you know her, and I don't, and you seem like a reasonable girl.

ETA: Has she been to a psychologist?

Awe, thanks. And yes, she's 16, but this is way beyond what should be the norm. If this is the norm I'm surprised there isn't more murders from parents who care less about their kids.

She has not because all the times we've scheduled, she's just not gone. I believe that this time we're actually going to drag her in chains to do it (not literally, of course, but you know what I mean).

@HT: The problem is that that doesn't work with her. Words just go through her.

[EmeraldRose]

Emmy, what's the longest time you've gone without coffee as an adult?

Hmm...what stage of adult? Because the amount has increased over the years (and with not drinking so much soft drinks since college the first time). But unless something really unexpected happens, or I'm out running around or something or staying with family, generally I have my first cup of coffee ~7am and the last ~noon?

Unless I've made a second (or third) pot or I'm trying to stay up late to get homework done or something...

So, I'd say my coffee levels are fairly consistent 24 hours a day. :smallwink:

[Asta Kask]

Awe, thanks. And yes, she's 16, but this is way beyond what should be the norm. If this is the norm I'm surprised there isn't more murders from parents who care less about their kids.

Which is why I wonder if she might be something else. I have some guesses, but I'm not going to make an on-line diagnosis that I don't have the eduction or information for... :smallsmile:

But a psychologist might be a good idea.

[Feytalist]

:eek:

That's terrible! You must find coffee immediately! Or maybe start drinking your coffee without milk, to avoid the whole chance that the milk has become corrupted and chooses to kill your coffee. :smallfrown:

Yup, the first thing I did when I got to work was swing by the nearest coffee place :smallbiggrin:

And I'll drink coffee without milk, if there's no milk. But I like my milky coffee. And the milk's expiry date was still 3 days away! It caught me off guard.

And don't worry, I'm picking up more coffee (and milk) directly after work :smallbiggrin:

[HalfTangible]

Awe, thanks. And yes, she's 16, but this is way beyond what should be the norm. If this is the norm I'm surprised there isn't more murders from parents who care less about their kids.

... Have you considered having her arrested? :smallconfused: I mean, from the sounds of it she behaves this way because it works and she thinks there are no consequences.


@HT: The problem is that that doesn't work with her. Words just go through her.

Well, it IS hard to ignore someone who just kicked you in the teeth. Guess it's not an optional thing for you :smalltongue::smallwink:

[LaZodiac]

... Have you considered having her arrested? :smallconfused: I mean, from the sounds of it she behaves this way because it works and she thinks there are no consequences.


The general idea is that the next time she messes up, that's happening. Or we're putting her in a psyche ward. I don't know all the details.

Give me two hours and a bit, the test that's about to start will be over so I can explain.

Okay, explaining.
Firstly, the last unit we learned before midterms was electromagnetic fields. We rush through this in two classes. He tells everyone that it won't have its own test due to lack of time, but it will be on the midterm, so study accordingly. He hands out practice tests as a study aid. They show a roughly even distribution across all units.

Day of the actual test (Monday). We get the test. Nothing at all on rotational motion (probably what I studied most, as it was one of the harder ones. Everyone else agreed when we learned it that it was really hard - not just me - so they probably also studied it a lot.) Half of the test is on electromagnetic fields. Of course, nobody's ready for this, because there's a limited amount of time in which to study and everyone expected there would be a more even amount.

The midterm is twice the length of a normal test.

Yeah... so it's not that there's no test on it (but it'll be on the midterm). The midterm was the test on it, just with more review questions on previous units than normal.

I swear this guy gets off on having the "most difficult class".

Lala, this may be my inexperienced, celibate, 'haven't-been-kissed-since-kindergarten', 'dating-is-too-much-hassle', 'i-hate-most-forms-of-physical-contact-including-sex' side talking but um... your sister is - by your own description - a total nutcase whose selfishness is almost unbelievable!! How would she have gotten laid?!

Well, I think it all boils down to the fact that stupid crazy is seldom alone. For some reason, they seem to excert a strong magnetic pull on eachother, congregating them into their own small exosociety where doing stupid stuff is the norm.


Ergh. That's... unfun.
unfununfununfununfununfununfununfununfun.
That looks wierd weird.
So does "weird."

On the other hand, it sound fun to say... :smallwink:


My family always thought I was being unreasonable when I told them, "That water is not boiling. It won't do!" These are the type of people who have tea with half of the cup being milk though.

Not that there's anything wrong with milk, though. My tea requires it just because I make it so strong, but then it turns delicious! :3


'I' before 'E' except after C... And some of those very weird cases. English can't even follow its own rules. >.>

Tell that to my English teacher back in highschool. He was a true Englishman, and his name was Keith, and he told us just how many Brits couldn't pronounce his name properly... :smallwink:


Speaking of wood, there was the time I ran in to a tree chasing a friend down hill while playing capture the flag. Blood was all over my face. Friends thought I should go to the hospital, but I was fine. (I have a picture, if anyone wants to see me all wounded. :smalltongue:)

Well, we all could stand seeing Kneen all bruised up back after he'd been mugged, so I think we can handle it...

ION:
We got our circuit almost running perfectly now due to... black magic. And magic numbers. Seriously, when we set our maximum sampling frequency to 49 Hz, it works almost perfectly (fails to trigger on roughly 1-2‰ of the signals), but on 46 Hz, it samples a majority of the numbers to no signal at all. This is all very strange, but I don't think it's completely within our control either...

Hasn't that been the general idea the last few times she's pulled things?

How much worse than this does she have to get? :smallconfused:


Yeah, it's your inexperience. There are guys who will sleep with anything. Besides, for all we know she may be looker.

Well, she is ostensibly Lala's full-blooded sister, I suppose.

[LaZodiac]

Half sister. Also she's got a major natural duckface.

Whereas I tend to LG, because I am. And yes, I mean a real LG, not Lawful Stupid masquerading as Lawful Good.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Not always. Sometimes they're insulting. Like December's Skymall. It called the ViewMaster vintage. I'm too young (19) for my childhood to be vintage!

Hey, it's okay. I'm only 19 as well. And Skymall changed its name? :smallconfused::smallfrown::smalltongue:

[HalfTangible]

Yeah, it's your inexperience. There are guys who will sleep with anything. Besides, for all we know she may be looker.

I'm fully aware that guys are easy to get into the sack. I just thought it'd be harder for a deranged lunatic. :smallsigh: No amount of hot can make up for someone who blackmails and lies to her own family, screams because $100 isn't enough spending money, and is generally either stupid or a monster depending on the time of day.

Before getting to D&D... Hrm...

My first ever character though ... Oh man, I think she could've been either neutral evil or true neutral, I'm not sure. She was basically a bar wench with amazing suggestion, dancing and singing skills and weaponless battle. Was basically used to bargain with salespeople and interrogation. She also threw her magical alcohols at people. She was the only one alcoholic enough to drink them in the group. :smalleek:

Well, harder... yes. But not very hard. Although she may find it hard to access alcohol, which is of course a major catalyst in affairs of the groin.


Guysguysguysguysguys it RAINED RAINED RAAAAIIIIINNNNNEDDD SWEET SWEET WATER!!!!!!!1!!!

This is unusual? We had rain for three months. Now we have snow instead. We must have angered the sun god. Or made the rain god really, really love us. We'd sacrifice a virgin, but as long as there's alcohol and Valborgsmässoafton there are precious few (post-pubertal) virgins around.

[Asta Kask]

Given its etymology, is a capital offense the kind you get beheaded for?

Not exactly...


Meaning "principal" is early 15c. Of letters, "upper case," from late 14c. A capital crime (1520s) is one that affects the life or "head;" capital had a sense of "deadly, mortal" from late 14c. in English, a sense also found in Latin. The felt connection between "head" and "life, mortality" also existed in Old English: e.g. heafodgilt "deadly sin, capital offense," heafdes þolian "to forfeit life." Capital punishment was in Blackstone (1765) and classical Latin capitis poena.

It's actually very common to have either a full or half ginger beard, especially men who have dark hair. Pretty much all the dark haired guys I know here in Scotland have that, some English too. Apparently even if you don't get the fiery hair, the ginger beard gene lingers on strong.

As a wee lad I had my mother's ginger hair and my father's curly locks. As I aged, the hair became more wavy like my mother's and darkened rather dramatically to something like my father's.

The odd thing, to me, isn't that the beard comes in ginger, but that my dad, who is full blooded Italian, has ginger genes to give...

Well, some of them must have been her adult teeth, since she definitely had all her adult teeth when she was sixteen and still had the fractures.

Sage seeds look like smallish peppercorns. It's the only thing I can think of. Did you tickle the sprouts with horseshoes? Sage sprouts do not like that.

Off the top of my head, to be honest, I don't know any. I don't even know what the taxonomical difference between parakeets or parrots are! I specialize quite narrowly in budgie. I think when someone says parakeet in the US they just mean budgie.

As Rain Dragon has evinced with Storm, or as a co-worker of mine has with his two, cockatiels make very dear companions also. I have no experience with any other domestic birds.

Please post pictures of your friend's decision, possibly that give some clue to their location that I might the more expeditiously kidnap them for my own use.

Done it, though not for a whole campaign. It takes a lot of work to make it seem creative and interesting, and not just "oh look a bunch of fire-themed monsters." Very easy to come off as trite though.

I recommend themed hazards. Grabby roots work nicely, or sudden heavy winds. Stuff like that.

Well, I'm only crazy in two ways (that I can think of off the top of my head): My love of sour patch kids and my obsession with Pentatonix. I eat about *checks labels for first time ever*... wow, a POUND A WEEK. Of sour patch kids. I may need to reevaluate this. And my Pentaholicism is well known. But I don't think either of those things would really affect a relationship that much.



Yes... yes, please... I have to know...


Alright then. While in taste alone they are slightly inferior to the peanut, the cashew makes up for this in several other ways. The first of these is the texture. The cashew is ever so slightly softer than the average peanut, and so becomes a more pleasing mush between the molars. The taste of the cashew also synergizes more with salt than the peanut does, making them a delicious addition to any mix of nuts.

[WarKitty]

Ditto on the terminology. I do think it's best to avoid using terms that imply clinical diagnoses - not in the least because those with such are often tarnished unfairly by them.



Then by George, eat some cashews! At least one of us will be enjoying them!

Done it, though not for a whole campaign. It takes a lot of work to make it seem creative and interesting, and not just "oh look a bunch of fire-themed monsters." Very easy to come off as trite though.

I recommend themed hazards. Grabby roots work nicely, or sudden heavy winds. Stuff like that.

The idea was to have a plot where the BBEG's going around to all the elemental temples to harness the power of the elements and take over the world. (I just haven't figured out how) The theme dungeons would be:

*A Venice-inspired city with the water dungeon in the sewers.
*An underground dwarf city with a pyramid-shaped crypt-themed earth dungeon
*An active volcano for a potentially final dungeon
*An air dungeon high atop a mountain, inspired by the Eyrie from Game of Thrones. Probably most of that adventure would be the hike up. The dungeon itself would be fairly desolate. Just an air shrine.

Though that game has it's elemental dungeons be a lot more simple. And the earth dungeon was basically an undead dungeon.

How important are elements in general to your world? This works better if elemental magic is a big deal overall. I've had problems in D&D because elements tend not to be a big deal there, so an elemental dungeon can feel trite.

It'd be in Legend, so the elements are a bigger deal, even if just because of the smaller amount of spells available. Also, the system will make it easier to create a decent variety of element-themed traps and enemies, since so much of the fluff is up to you.

Come to think of it, the idea's similar to FFI. It's just that instead of the heroes collecting the gems to save the world, the villain's doing so to destroy it.

[Taet]

Give me a bit. In the meantime, what would people think if their DM themed all the dungeons around the elements?

EDIT: Does this work?

I agree with the early Order of the Stick comics about this idea not being a great idea.

That is the tangram answer for a short shape. I think her puzzle was the long shape and then the long sides of the biggest triangles have to be the top and the bottom of the shape and the other pieces are the left and the right.

Of course not. :smallsmile: I also have a tendency to make tea strong, but then also drink it without milk. (Unless it's a tea which is better with milk of course.)

Isn't that a common name in England? It is pronounced 'Keeth', right?

Whereas I tend to LG, because I am. And yes, I mean a real LG, not Lawful Stupid masquerading as Lawful Good.

Those types of people tend to be fairly rare. I have been told I am Evil. Some people think I am fairly LN, which is odd but they may view me as such because their own morality is grayer than the majority.

In fact, I've rarely been told I'm Lawful in alignment, which makes the whole 'LN' thing even weirder. On that particular scale I'm very definitely Neutral.

At the same time, the alignment system is well... Interesting. As a DM I find it hard to not have it break every session. :smallannoyed:

[Amidus Drexel]

Awesome. What sort of show if I may ask?

I almost exclusively play evil players. Actually, at the moment I've managed to get out of DMing this time and am playing a LN monk. ...This is going to be tricky for me... Evil is very fun, but for some people it is easy to be confused with 'being a bit of a meanie'.

Snarky Puppy - they're a jazz/fusion sort of group with some really cool stuff. Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPQeSvQr12M) one of my favorites.

Evil is fun. I've found that it's hard to maintain an evil feel for a character and not devolve into stupidly destructive stuff, though. It takes a lot of effort to play someone as distinctly evil that isn't a murder-hobo. I played a LE cleric a while back, although he probably would have been better described as NE.



Actually, I'm pretty sure the third is a requirement for the first in the long run, it's just that people are too cheap to realise it...

Oh, how come this weird occation? :smallconfused:


Technically it depends on the cost of the bus, but yes.

I was having some difficulty finding myself a ride back from the show I'm going to, and I'm not paying ~$80 for cab fare or ~$60 for a hotel if I can just stay up a few extra hours. That said, I've since found myself a ride (assuming he doesn't flake out - I don't think he will), and I'll gladly pay ~$20 to not stand out in the cold for several hours.


That sounds. Exactly like me. I tend to Chaotic Good, because I am quite chaotic as a person, and I find it's then easier to RP the character. But when I don't it's usually TN.

My characters tend towards TN or LN, I think, because that's about how I am as a person most of the time. I've had fun playing good and evil characters, and my good characters have tended to be more lawful, while my evil characters have tended to be more chaotic (although not all of them).


EXCELLENT, COLONEL. LET IT ALSO BE KNOWN THAT I FEEL STRONGLY ENOUGH TO HOLD SHIFT RATHER THAN MERELY USE CAPITALSLOCK.

You are also heavier, which makes one look older. It happens to everyone in their first year.

Okay, reviewing my post, I realize I may have consumed too much caffeine this day.

INDEED. SHIFT IS SUPERIOR. LET THAT DISTASTEFUL KEY BE AND SHIIIIIIIIIIFT.

MOAR CAPITALS!

I would trade you. I've had none today, and I'm feeling the effects already...

How fare ye, fine Budgie?



Clearly something has gone wrong here, since my beard's hairs appear to only be around 25-33% ginger with around 5-10% blond.

Eh, my dad's beard is similarly mixed (colour-wise), although it's got grey instead of blonde, so it's more like red/brown/black/grey.

Interesting. I find this idea much better than the original LoZ-esque elemental temples, while still preserving the mechanical feel of it. I'd be careful not to overplay the elementy-ness of it, unless you think your players will enjoy that.

It's a rather cool concept, though. I'd be interested in hearing how it goes.

Hrm... judging by what I've seen of you (posting here), I'd peg you at TN, but that might include a not-insignificant amount of personal bias.

The only alignment-behaviours I don't frequently display are CG and CE, so I don't ever really have people call me those. I get called LE and LN a lot, especially as a DM.

Playing nice evil characters (or evil characters that are genuinely being nice) always throws players for a loop. :smallamused:

The only one that would be overtly elemental is the fire dungeon, and maybe air. The idea for the world is that the four elements control everything. And with that theme, there are shrines around the world where the elemental power is centered. The BBEG's goal is to use those shrines to take over the world somehow. (I already know that magic gems will be involved) I also have a plot twist planned that:

Spirit is a fifth element, humans are spirit elementals, and the players' homeworld is actually the spirit temple.

I have decided that song is really awesome.

It takes me more effort to play someone who is Good without being boring Mr Goody Two Shoes all of the time. Though a solid character profile really helps with adding interest to the character.

The sample size is incredibly small, but online or among strangers I'm significantly nicer. It may also help that I do not wish to put an arrow between Random Banter's eyes every time they open their mouths. :smallcool: TN for the internet sounds about right.

One of my current players expects this, along with awesome plot hooks which I definitely cannot deliver. Oddly enough, even though the setting is a little macabre she's enjoying it. :smallconfused: Well, at least however poorly written it is not poorly executed which is always good news.

I'd like to vent about competitive gaming. It irritates me. Because there are so many people who pour money into TCGs, it makes it harder to win if you're a casual player who has a single deck that might not even be that good. Or anyone in a game like SSBB who knows all the awesome tricks, but doesn't know how to tone it down and go easy on casual gamers. It's not that I want to win; it's just that I want to feel like my losses aren't predetermined. I want a chance at winning.

Hmm. Magic players should be able to turn things down, but it really depends on how good they are. Someone may have sunk a lot of money in to their deck, but if they can't teach you how to play or make the game fun, what good are they really? (Although I guess that's a personal opinion.)

As for SSBB, I'm surprised. The items in that game generally make it so that even the most skilled players can be brought down with some luck. (There's a reason why they're banned from tourneys.) Hell, Kirby is banned. Give 'em a Ray Gun and you'll be ROFLstomping everyone.

Since this is random banter I'd like to ask does anyone else like to do they're own sort of commentary or come up with insane theories while watching a tv show or movie with friends? I do this a lot with a group or one other person. One of my favorite theories that my friend and I came up with was that Avatar the Last Airbender was a D&D game with lots of homebrew content. Then we made jokes like DM of the Rings about different things that happened on the show. Like we thought the reason that Sokka had so many funny yet horrible things happen to him was that he was the only member of the gaming group who didn't play a caster class. Instead he played a fighter and the DM was punishing him for that choice.

Then we made jokes like DM of the Rings about different things that happened on the show. Like we thought the reason that Sokka had so many funny yet horrible things happen to him was that he was the only member of the gaming group who didn't play a caster class. Instead he played a fighter and the DM was punishing him for that choice.

Tentacles are behind everything. Everything. :smallamused:

That is our commentary. Shoggoth on the Roof can be the soundtrack for anything.

Speaking of Eldritch Abominations that brings up my friend's theory on why Firelord Sozin started the war. Sozin's Comet is actually an evil spirit that corrupted the royal line hence Zuko's as well as his father and sister being so messed up.

No spoilers, but just telling you, the epilogue comics would break that theory.

Figured that, it was just a wild guess my friend threw out watching the show.

How would you respond if I told you I was a dormant carrier for a heat-resistant strain of salmonella?

That I'm glad we've never met in person, because that sounds rather awful and I wouldn't want to get it.

...Salmonella can't spread through methods other than ingestion, anyway. Or at least, this strain can't. It might and might not actually exist, hence my previous post being a question.

I just mixed up the onion powder and garlic powder when I was cooking the taco meat. It was too late so I ate it anyway. I cannot feel my tongue any more. :smallyuk: Tasted Ok though.

"Got it. If we end up stranded in a remote location without food for weeks, we eat you last."

Hi, Yung Crunk! How are you?

Umm, not really. Beer I guess and maybe a trip to Chinatown.


Ah, really? I will not tell a soul. Though... You have now placed it on the internet for all to see.
Gasp! You're right; now we have to stab peoples' eyes out.

There is no reservation of threads, it is first come, first serve.
We simply must make an exception!

And a happy Chinese New Year for you too. :smallsmile:

Personally, I prefer to leave my meat unspiced until it actually enters the taco shell, at which point I apply liberal amounts of tabasco sauce and cayenne pepper.

Yup! I believe they call it "outdoors".

In all seriousness, I bet you could find some kind of survivalist shop that sells animal meat, or find a local hunter who might have some. Local hunters might just be a thing up here though.

A little bit of orange in the marinade really sets off chicken before it's made into fajitas, I always thought. Decided to try a smidge splashed onto the beef like you splash on a smidge of worchestershire or soy or tabasco while it's browning.

Once I started spicing the ground beef while it was cooking I never could turn back, I must admit. Doesn't really *feel* right to me to add the cayenne pepper to something after it's cooked. May just be all in my head, but I think the flavor imparts better to the meat in the cooking process, incorporating it more fully.

Order? Like online? :smallconfused: Huh. No, can't say that I know of anywhere you can order bear meat.

No, we definitely have local hunters. But people don't really hunt snake, I think there are some pretty tight restrictions on bear hunting, and I've never heard of a Minnesotan pheasant hunt.

Well, to each their own, I guess. I just generally wouldn't mix fruit with meat. Except for jell-o burgers, of course, but I would never have an ORANGE one. :smalltongue:

Well, I'd agree, if imparting the flavor to the meat was my goal. I like being able to taste the cayenne as a separate thing, rather than as one of the flavors inherent in the meat.

Figured it couldn't hurt to ask. :smalltongue:

[Coidzor]

Well, to each their own, I guess. I just generally wouldn't mix fruit with meat. Except for jell-o burgers, of course, but I would never have an ORANGE one. :smalltongue:

Orange Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Lemon Pepper Chicken, Lemon Butter sauce for seafood, apple sauce with pork, pork roasted in/with apple products, cranberry sauce, cherry sauces, various other fruit sauces...

Pork's pretty much the meat that's most made for pairing with fruit, whether sauces, sides, or what it's cooked in/with.


Well, I'd agree, if imparting the flavor to the meat was my goal. I like being able to taste the cayenne as a separate thing, rather than as one of the flavors inherent in the meat.

Seems like you'd have to use enough cayenne that you'd be getting the gritty texture of having a whole bunch of cayenne pepper on top of your food though. :smallconfused:

Pork's pretty much the meat that's most made for pairing with fruit, whether sauces, sides, or what it's cooked in/with.

Mainly the trick is to match strengths. Delicate seafood flavors shouldn't go with anything stronger than fresh lemon. Orange beef can be good. Pork's a stronger flavor, and the cured versions are even stronger than that.

Depends on how you cook it. You can get some quite smooth sauces that are high in spice.

[Rain Dragon]

Well, yes. Running in to tree head on and all that. Luckily, I was able to turn my body some before I hit. Otherwise I'd probably have broken my nose or an arm or something.

The UK has so much better commercials than we do.

Looking at it, yes. A broken nose would have been likely were you to run into the tree head on. It is good you're ok.


I wonder how we can get that dragon to stay over the west coast for awhile.

How do you know the dragon is not linked to the land, guardian of this place? Though I find it more likely Rain Dragon is linked to me. C'mon, abduct me. Just make sure America can provide appropriate medical support for said while and I do not get shot. :smalltongue:

(Yes, I am aware shootings in America are a lot rarer than the media make them out to be.)


I know, right? *starts dreaming of a plan involving stakes, blackberry vines and a stuffed badger*

A... Wait, what? Stakes?

Wait, are you going to murder me with stakes and steal Rain Dragon? :smalleek: I will come back for you! I swear it! :smallamused:

Well, to each their own, I guess. I just generally wouldn't mix fruit with meat. Except for jell-o burgers, of course, but I would never have an ORANGE one. :smalltongue:

We've sometimes had squeezed orange in stews, and it was a while ago, but we sometimes use lingonberries on pork as well. And then we have the mandatory lingonberry jam to the meatballs, of course...

ION:
We got a lot of snow yesterday, so I spent all morning shoveling our front, as well as for our old neighbour. The temperature has risen to 0°C, so now all snow has turned into...
...
Hugsnow? I'd call it "kramsnö" in Swedish, which literally translates to "hugsnow", and my online dictionary says so as well, but Wiktionary doesn't agree about this word's existence. Wikipedia suggests "'packy' snow" in its entry on Snowball, but Wiktionary doesn't agree about that either. Bottom line, it's snow which isn't really thawing, but it's wet enough to turn shapeable, so you can make snowballs and snowmen and snowlanterns out of it. What would you call it?

Now, where was I?
...
Right, so we got "hugsnow", and that means it compacted into higher density, which combined with a bit more snow than usual means that I now am a bit mushy. But it was a nice workout nevertheless, and I'm really proud about how neat it looks now... :3

But we who've already seen it? And you can't even kill us, because the secret will go with our souls, and we may turn vengeful...

If one cannot attain true death, I will ensure we call Ghostbusters. They've saved the world from a giant marshmallow man and aggressive pink goop, I am sure they can save TaiLiu from vengeful souls! ...Maybe...

I will never share, were I to become immortal.

EDIT - I forgot to mention how incredibly cute hug snow sounds.

Kramsnö! Word of the Day! (The day is through in 47min, but... The word is still awesome.)

[Teddy]

I'm not sure if it's agains the Forum rules, but it's against the thread rules to call a thread for oneself or someone else (and not as much a rule as a "please don't do this" too). It's completely allowed to agree to not be the ones to create a new thread, but if someone from the outside decides to create the new thread him- or herself once 50+ rolls around, you're not in the right to berate her or him...

[LaZodiac]

So, I've made the executive decision to watch Warm Bodies, a romantic zombie comedy based on Romeo and Juliet, where the Romeo family side of things are zombies, and the Juliet side of things are the military trying to save the rest of humanity.

This movie is immediately worth the time watching it. The trailers present it as a stupid Twilight knock off. Instead it's a genuinely funny parody of that ****.

[Asta Kask]

Right. It's not forbidden as much as "eh... no one will care about your exception."

And pork's strength is in going with just about any fruit combination. XD

It was this time. I like spice that is tasty and then hurts me. The garlic just hurt. :smallannoyed:

Unspiced meat is good when you have many people to share with. I do not have that problem. I spice in the pan. And put in a spoon of water that soaks up the spice that got stuck to the pan and puts it back on the meat.

Does it have to be fresh meat or is preserved meat Ok?
:smallconfused:

Orange Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Lemon Pepper Chicken, Lemon Butter sauce for seafood, apple sauce with pork, pork roasted in/with apple products, cranberry sauce, cherry sauces, various other fruit sauces...

Now I want meat with mojo marinade even more. :smallfrown: Funny that no one at the farmer's market with oranges thought of making home made.


Chasing the dragon, eh?

No. The idea is to get the dragon to chase us.

This is why it is hard for the very lazy to have a drug habit. :smallwink:

And myself, well, I've been hanging around, done Signals and Embedded Systems labs where something out of our control keeps messing it up (usually handout software), but which are fun nevertheless once you get past the most of the frustration. And I've begun a course on Human-Computer Interactions as well, which is really interesting, since I'm interested in psychology and AI, and while we're not doing any AI in this course, just about everything said here can be tied into my expanding bank of AI premises. Plus, learning how to design interfaces and systems which don't make people go "RAAAAGE!" is always fun... :3

Hehe hi there Teddy. ^_^ *hugses* Sounds like you are having much fun in your classes. I'm glad you are enjoying them! Could you possibly explain Human-Computer interactions a bit? Because the most interaction I have had is either wanting to hug the computer for working beautifully or wanting to facepalm it at most other times. :smalltongue: I shall try to understand, psychology is something i haven't gotten yet. I am in my Transitional English class now, which is mostly stuff like essay writing, grammar, and peer critiquing but for college.

As for the gaming, alright so far. My primary game that I run with friends where I live has gone well, actually had my last boss challenge them fairly well. So next week it is on to the next adventure (couldn't make it over this week). The 5th Edition playtest was fun, and was going well, but we decided to take a break on it. We are taking up a totally different challenge now, going to try a campaign where they use the character of our last campaign, who are now deities. If it works, it will be great fun, but trying to make challenges for them will be insane. Also got a game I am running here, due to the same issues that kept me from bantering though I did not post in it for awhile. But now things are going well there, gestalt game with some interesting homebrew classes involved. And since I know that Deity game with my friends at home will take much preparation, we will also be trying this other game someone showed me, Don't Rest Your Head. It takes a lot less prep time, so it should be good fun on some weeks. :smalltongue: Oh, and in a game one of those friends is running, another gestalt game, things are going okay. Our group got nearly pulverized by a hydra but we managed to get away, make some preparations, and go back at it and win this time in relatively good shape. :smallbiggrin:

HCI (not to be confused with HCl, which is a strong acid :smalltongue:) is a course intended to make us better at designing computer systems which are usable, rather than merely in the way, but since the whole field is pretty wide and since we've got a full department researching it here in Uppsala, it's more of an introductory course to the whole field, meaning many lecturers with rather different topics.

Most of it so far (we've only had 4 lectures) has been about cognition psychology, which studies how the human mind goes from stimuli to action, through perception and memory. It's a lot about how we sort out relevant data from the overwhelming flow of information, how we memorise it and recall it, how we make decisions and how we reason about those decisions. It's much conscious versus subconscious thinking, grouping together items in patterns, keeping all needed information in sight all the time to not have to rely on our working memory and maintaining consistency both to not confuse ourselves and to make it easier to spot anomalies whenever they appear.

Hehehe, sounds like you've had fun with your games. And your (co-)players too! :3

And tell me more about Don't Rest Your Head! What type of game is it? :3

*hugs en masse*

[FinnLassie]

Speaking of D&D, Uigeadaily's bard is incredibly stupid. Rolling crits and being awesome. Pfft. Druids are the best. And badgers.

[Razanir]

So, I've made the executive decision to watch Warm Bodies, a romantic zombie comedy based on Romeo and Juliet, where the Romeo family side of things are zombies, and the Juliet side of things are the military trying to save the rest of humanity.

This movie is immediately worth the time watching it. The trailers present it as a stupid Twilight knock off. Instead it's a genuinely funny parody of that ****.

That actually was a pretty good movie. It also lead to me writing a 5-page essay for class on the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet, which contained, among other things, a quote from Beowulf. The best part- the quote from Beowulf made sense in context.

Oh you. That sounds awesome :smallbiggrin:

Hope I get some good DND based adventures.

A crit failing druid is more amusing than that darned thing! At least I spoke with snakes. :smallyuk: :smalltongue:

You're already having some!

Face-heel is a process normally only used for Wrestling. In the simplest terms, it's when a good (face) thing or person, becomes a bad (heel) thing or person. He's saying that you say the bard is dumb, but then that he did an awesome thing. So that's the face-heel. Or rather, since you went from "hate" to "like" it'd be a heel-face turn.

Yay! Jumping jumping jump jump jump!

[TaiLiu]

AAAH! MY PRECIOUS EYES!
I'm sorry, Dimonite, but it's for the Greater Good. You understand, right? :smallsmile:

I'm alright, Tai. Boy your new profile picture is going to get confusing, though.
That is my hope. :smalltongue:

How about you? What news from The Mark?
What is this Mark you speak of?

We have to wh...? Ah, well it sounds worthwhile. Where should I start?
/rifles through various painful looking tools.
Hm. I suppose we ought to begin with Random Banter posters and work our way out.

But we who've already seen it? And you can't even kill us, because the secret will go with our souls, and we may turn vengeful...
...
I think the easiest solution will just be to invent imortality. That way your ancestors never have to find out... ;3
Genius! Rain Dragon, we don't have to stab people any more!

If one cannot attain true death, I will ensure we call Ghostbusters. They've saved the world from a giant marshmallow man and aggressive pink goop, I am sure they can save TaiLiu from vengeful souls! ...Maybe...
Hm. How much [money] are they asking [for]?

I will never share, were I to become immortal.
Aw, not even with me?

EDIT - I forgot to mention how incredibly cute hug snow sounds.

Kramsnö! Word of the Day! (The day is through in 47min, but... The word is still awesome.)
Hug... Hug snow?

Right. It's not forbidden as much as "eh... no one will care about your exception."
Indeed...

*hops aboard the new chat*



Hello! Assuming this is D&D/Pathfinder? Go meta. Have your PC characters select mortal pawns to do their direct bidding and party up to do exactly what they did before, only to see how they treat their PC's "Pieces" without the risk of direct harm to themselves.


Or tell them all their loot and special gear has inexplicably ended up in Sigil. :smallbiggrin:

Well welcome here then! :smallbiggrin: Enjoy the banter.

This is indeed 3.5 D&D. And that is certainly a possibility, at least for some of it. But I do intend them to fully make and play these powerful characters, it's part of the appeal plus having strange callbacks to the last adventure of theirs. The cosmology/divinity of my setting is kinda strange and still being formed, so there will be actual challenges to them, other than just other deities. :smalltongue:


Yay, hugses! :3

HCI (not to be confused with HCl, which is a strong acid :smalltongue:) is a course intended to make us better at designing computer systems which are usable, rather than merely in the way, but since the whole field is pretty wide and since we've got a full department researching it here in Uppsala, it's more of an introductory course to the whole field, meaning many lecturers with rather different topics.

Most of it so far (we've only had 4 lectures) has been about cognition psychology, which studies how the human mind goes from stimuli to action, through perception and memory. It's a lot about how we sort out relevant data from the overwhelming flow of information, how we memorise it and recall it, how we make decisions and how we reason about those decisions. It's much conscious versus subconscious thinking, grouping together items in patterns, keeping all needed information in sight all the time to not have to rely on our working memory and maintaining consistency both to not confuse ourselves and to make it easier to spot anomalies whenever they appear.

That seems rather interesting! I want to be in a psychology class like this, might actually enjoy it. Formerly the idea of psychology just terrified me. But now...I could see some of that being in another class I might take here. But all that can really be applied to computers? Sound cool!


Hehehe, sounds like you've had fun with your games. And your (co-)players too! :3

And tell me more about Don't Rest Your Head! What type of game is it? :3

*hugs en masse*

The games have been very much fun. Haven't been having times like our first campaign, where I could rarely ever really challenge them. I have improved somewhat. :smalltongue:

Well, the cover describes it as "A Game of Insomnia in the Mad City". The whole point is the characters are driven to insomnia for some reason, and stay that way so long that they Awaken to this other world along ours, a world of madness, where they are chased by Nightmares and have to face their trials and demons to maybe be able to put themselves back together. Or just get horribly killed by a Nightmare, or go insane and turn into one themselves. :smallamused: It is played entirely with d6, the character creation is rather simple, and in some ways the story is driven and decided more by the players than by the DM, and there is a lot of debate and sometimes compromising on what a success or failure really does in this game. And our course one of the biggest things is do no, absolute do not, go to sleep. Don't rest your head. :smallbiggrin:

You can’t sleep. It started like that for all of us, back when we were garden variety insomniacs.
Maybe you had nightmares – gods know we all do now – or maybe you just had problems that wouldn’t let you get a good night’s rest. Hell – maybe you were just over-caffeinated. It doesn’t matter. Whatever it was, eventually you got to a point where sleep became a choice, rather than a mandate … and then it just dropped off the list.
And then, and only then, something clicked.
That’s when you started noticing the extras. An extra door here or there. An extra window looking out onto a city packed with surplus buildings, hodgepodge towers standing shoulder to shoulder, roofs angling into one another. Clocks chiming the thirteenth hour and unfamiliar stars twinkling in the too-clear sky. Streets and alleys that weren’t there before, leading to late-night markets that sold things like laughter and indecision.
When you took a long walk down the streets of the Mad City, you stopped being a Sleeper and started being Awake.
But that click you heard wasn’t from the secret world snapping into place. It was the sound of the Nightmares flicking off the safety and pointing a gun at your head. When you crossed over you became a target. They can smell you now, if they get close enough. The Paper Boys are closing in, and you’d better pray you don’t become a headline.
You’re chum in the water, my friend, and it’s time you got ready for it – before the clock chimes thirteen again. You’re going to get tired, more tired than you ever have before, but mark my words: sleep isn’t just off the list now, it’s an outright enemy that’ll strip away your vitality and leave you vulnerable. There’s no going back, and from here on out, there’s just one simple rule that must dominate your life.
Stay Awake.
Don’t rest your head.

And back to my regular clothing for me. By which I mean Avatar, of course :smalltongue:

[Uigeadaily]

Speaking of D&D, Uigeadaily's bard is incredibly stupid. Rolling crits and being awesome. Pfft. Druids are the best. And badgers.

No no, his Intelligence is fine. It's his complete lack of common sense that you're thinking of (Wisdom is dump stat).
I'd just like to say that our first session was probably like the pilot of a new series. Once we start the other 'episodes' and get beyond Lvl 1, my MVP bard will be demoted to comic relief/punching bag, just as 3.5 intended him to be ^^



Hehehe, seeing your face-heel turn on this is highly amusing... :smallwink::smallamused:


Really now? What was she saying before? :smallamused:

[LaZodiac]

So, a movie is on. It's been discussed on this forum before. Iron Skies.

It is literally every bit as amazing as you'd heard.

[FinnLassie]

The Finnish film Iron Sky about space nazis? Why yes, we Finns come up with the greatest ideas. :smallamused:


@Uigeadaily: Shame I won't be seeing your progression for the next three weeks. After that the druid shall come back and not die.

Can we at least keep the badger with us? He was more useful than the druid :smallwink:

All those poor animals :smalleek:

I especially like the UN-esque meeting scenes for their tingly Doctor Strangelove vibes :smallbiggrin:

[FinnLassie]

Hey! The badger is a she! Now that you have insulted Oksi's dear creature, there's no way you can keep it. It wouldn't listen to you folks' commands anyways. :smallyuk:

[Rain Dragon]

The garlic just hurt. :smallannoyed:

No. The idea is to get the dragon to chase us.

This is why it is hard for the very lazy to have a drug habit. :smallwink:

I am a wee bit lost now. Ah well.

I'm being 'egregiously laughed' at by AT and I'm only vaguely sure what that word means. Offensive laughter...? Things? (It doesn't matter as my initial quote was meant to be silly anyway.) Makes me more lost.

Is 'chasing the dragon' slang for something? Or 'dragon chasing us' or...?


So how does it go? I feel it is more polite to ask of others before speaking of my own happenings.

Ah, I didn't read through everything today, but skimmed. Instead of answering, I will just answer 'how does it go?' with 'well, how does it go for you?'


This...this greatly depresses me. :smallfrown: I have noticed the lack of rain for awhile now, but to see it has gotten so bad...it makes me really want to move away. :smallsigh:

Just do not move to Australia. There are droughts over there all of the time. I think someone somewhere I used to live recently mentioned there is a drought right now. In the rainy season! I hope the farmers are okay...


Speaking of D&D, Uigeadaily's bard is incredibly stupid. Rolling crits and being awesome. Pfft. Druids are the best. And badgers.

I had written an evil druid with a badger, but didn't play it because the 'save the badgers' thing started. I felt sorry for the badgers and decided said druid should be a neutral druid of badassery to save the badgers!


Hm. I suppose we ought to begin with Random Banter posters and work our way out.

Genius! Rain Dragon, we don't have to stab people any more!

Hm. How much [money] are they asking [for]?

Aw, not even with me?

Hug... Hug snow?

No? We... Don't? Aww...

Actually, I have no idea. But considering all of the stuff they built I'm sure either they have a lot of clients or charge a lot of money. Even with the fact that in both the movies they were only busy because lesser ghosts were drawn by larger supernatural phenomenon. (Or something to that effect.)

Well... I'd consider it at least.

Teddy was describing hug snow. It sounds like you could (with many layers of clothing on) sink right into it if you were to lie down. I imagine it would look like Teddy's cloud picture but with a lot of snow. Awww. (Cute)


Can we at least keep the badger with us? He was more useful than the druid :smallwink:

There was an awesome rat in the YoGScast (Ye Olde Goon Squad, if you were curious) who did stuff. He was the rat who raised an elvish druid and thus he was named 'Dad'. But the wizard accidentally blew up Dad. It was... So sad... :smallfrown:

[Coidzor]

I always wondered what YoGScast was supposed to stand for. XD And now I know. :smallsmile:

Glad to be of help I suppose. Originally, Ye Olde Goon Squad was the WoW guild formed by the Something Awful forums. So that is how I knew.

Yes! That was one of the better videos about it. There was a few of them on the teambadger website.

Right, wrong word order. And the fact that I forgot the ethymology and half the definition. But I'm actually thinking about how Finn said druid was a stupid choice a day ago, and now says her druid is awesome. ;3


That seems rather interesting! I want to be in a psychology class like this, might actually enjoy it. Formerly the idea of psychology just terrified me. But now...I could see some of that being in another class I might take here. But all that can really be applied to computers? Sound cool!

Well, it isn't a psychology class, it's a computer science class, and I suspect that if you went the full way to cognitive psychology you'd probably drop the computer aspect. Plus, cognitive psychology is borderline (natural) science anyway...

This sounds interesting. Would perhaps make for a good, creepy, setting-driven horror game... :3

Hmm, well, it shapes quite well after your body if you lie right down on it and refrain from squirming around. Hugsnow is better described in terms of packing a snowball (which is called "hugging the snow" in Swedish). Most subzero snow will just fall between your fingers, or at best let itself be packed into a ball which will shatter once you throw it. Hugsnow is snow which lets you hug it into a proper snowball which can be given good aerodynamical properties and maintain integrity through its whole flight. :3

Ah, I see. That's interesting. I should've paid more attention, sorry.

My own love for snow is perhaps because I grew up in a place that never snowed. Though honestly, snowy weather is still very cold to me because I grew up in a tropical area, so going outside to properly hug snow into a snowball is not something I would do often so I can't say I know a lot about it. I'd freeze!

[Teddy]

Ah, I see. That's interesting. I should've paid more attention, sorry.

Nah, it's okay, I didn't really put that much effort into explaining it the first time. And I think I might've dropped a sentence in my second description, which makes it look awkward, but at least it doesn't change the meaning...

Hehehe... :3

Have you tried thicker clothes? That's my trick, at least...

Then again, I'm weird when it comes to temperature resistance. I'm perpetually cold, which most people around me are well aware of since I wear thick fleece jackets well into the summer (and even all the way through last summer, but last summer was unusually cold) and since I'm always content on those summer days when they can't do anything but complain about the warmth. Yet I thrive in the winter, and usually want it to be colder than others do, which at a cursory glance would seem contrary to my nature.

Now, as I said, worse cold can pretty much always be countered by thick clothes, and I'm well prepared on this front. But what's more important is that since I'm always cold, my mental fortitude is stronger than the most, and thus, I can withstand colder temperatures since I'm just more used to being cold...

I think you may have some troubles with replicating that last part, though...

Hm.

Some of the bits of that description remind me of City of Angles.
(other bits less so)
(might be just that I was reading it recently)
Buildings next to buildings, askew or aligned. Buildings sometimes intersecting buildings, for that matter. Walk down a hallway, end up in a ballroom, double glass doors to a subway station, third exit on the left goes to a dentist's office. Probably wouldn't want your cavities filled there, mind you.

There's no rhyme or reason to any of it -- we've got streets which lead to dead ends, roads which criss-cross and loop back around, highways which go nowhere. Literally nowhere, as in "anybody going down that road is not coming back." This is not a good place to wander off unless you like wandering off forever...

Nobody knows where the city came from. Nobody knows how we got here. Nobody knows why any of this is happening. But it's happening. The city exists. We are here now. It's growing every day, and bringing new people with it.

We live a life amidst the twisted yet familiar.

If we're going to survive this, if we're going to stay alive and thrive, we need to learn to live in the City of Angles.

Looking into Don't Rest Your Head now.

EDIT: Looked into it a little. Decided I don't want to look any farther into it while it's still dark out.

[FinnLassie]

THE MOTHS HAVE RETURNED. >_>


AAAARHhgklf.

Honestly. Like. One and half days before I go to Finland for three weeks they start their stupid prancing about outside of the closet again. Go to hell, creatures. When I come back from Finland I'm finally gonna tell the letting agency that this place really needs fumigating. Harder to make them convince that the moths haven't come from me though, or, I dunno. Because they haven't. I told them last year that it was all handled, but clearly no...

[Amidus Drexel]

The only one that would be overtly elemental is the fire dungeon, and maybe air. The idea for the world is that the four elements control everything. And with that theme, there are shrines around the world where the elemental power is centered. The BBEG's goal is to use those shrines to take over the world somehow. (I already know that magic gems will be involved) I also have a plot twist planned that:

Spirit is a fifth element, humans are spirit elementals, and the players' homeworld is actually the spirit temple.

I love your twist. :smallbiggrin: A good, well-timed plot twist gives your players such perfect expressions. :smallbiggrin:



I have decided that song is really awesome.

It takes me more effort to play someone who is Good without being boring Mr Goody Two Shoes all of the time. Though a solid character profile really helps with adding interest to the character.

One of my current players expects this, along with awesome plot hooks which I definitely cannot deliver. Oddly enough, even though the setting is a little macabre she's enjoying it. :smallconfused: Well, at least however poorly written it is not poorly executed which is always good news.

They've got a whole bunch of good stuff. Hell, they didn't play a single song I knew at the show, but it was pure, undiluted awesomeness nonetheless. :smallcool:

Yeah, I think that if the most important part of your character's personality is their alignment, then they're just going to end up being a caricature. With some characters (wantonly destructive CE minions, for example), fitting a caricature is perfectly fine, but it's not so great for a PC. I have the hardest time playing chaotic good, honestly... It's difficult for me to define how a CG character would act in most scenarios.

Indeed. I've yet to run into a place where my players have called me out on my BS plots mid-game. I don't think any of the ones that haven't been a DM before ever really appreciated how little/poorly I plan some things, but they seem to enjoy themselves anyway. :smallamused:


Or anyone in a game like SSBB who knows all the awesome tricks, but doesn't know how to tone it down and go easy on casual gamers. It's not that I want to win; it's just that I want to feel like my losses aren't predetermined. I want a chance at winning.

Brawl is awesome. I've got two or three people on the hall who could probably play "professionally" if they had the opportunity/time, and I can still win against them in matches. Just play against good people a lot, and you'll get much better. Some tricks take a bit to pick up.

Like, for example, I used to be horrible at air dodging. But there's a guy on the hall who nearly always plays as Pikachu, and trust me, that's probably the easiest way to learn how to air dodge that I can think of.

Also, as someone who is occasionally in a position where I'm significantly better than someone at a game - toning it down for other people is no fun at all. Now, handicapping yourself in some way to give them a chance can be a fun challenge, but that's different entirely. If I'm going to purposefully throw the game, then there's no real point. Then again, I still have plenty of fun playing even when I'm horribly outmatched.


I confess, as a decent-to-good Smash player, the way I play with people who arern't as practiced is by using the characters I rarely use. Link, Bowser, Marth... If I still kill them easily, then i adjust my use of B moves. :smalltongue:

Heheheh, who do you normally play as? I tend to end up playing Pit, Ike, Ganondorf, and Bowser. (the use of Meta-Knight here is frowned upon with this group of friends because of some of the meta-game stats he has (speed, hit priority of moves, etc.), so I've fallen out of practice with him).


ION:
We got a lot of snow yesterday, so I spent all morning shoveling our front, as well as for our old neighbour. The temperature has risen to 0°C, so now all snow has turned into...
...
Hugsnow? I'd call it "kramsnö" in Swedish, which literally translates to "hugsnow", and my online dictionary says so as well, but Wiktionary doesn't agree about this word's existence. Wikipedia suggests "'packy' snow" in its entry on Snowball, but Wiktionary doesn't agree about that either. Bottom line, it's snow which isn't really thawing, but it's wet enough to turn shapeable, so you can make snowballs and snowmen and snowlanterns out of it. What would you call it?

Packable snow? I don't think there's a single English word for it, but I know what you're talking about.

[LaZodiac]

Jeez, the moth's came back! This seems like a major problem. Tell them that even though you thought they where gone, they returned!

[Taet]

You guys should ask the rest of America for all the snow they're getting.

In all seriousness, good luck :smalleek:

There is a problem in the way. Mountains.

My city has wells everywhere. I hope they are deep enough.


This...this greatly depresses me. :smallfrown: I have noticed the lack of rain for awhile now, but to see it has gotten so bad...it makes me really want to move away. :smallsigh:

The news article from the Bee (http://www.sacbee.com/2014/01/31/6119042/california-officials-forecast.html) gives better detail for us here.

And you would not be the only one moving. There will not be work for the farm people here or in the next few states. It will be the Dust Bowl going backwards. :smallfrown:


Hehehe, seeing your face-heel turn on this is highly amusing... :smallwink::smallamused:

I am not sure that is the word you wanted to use. But today has been nothing but the wrong word I wanted to use. Six of them! So I cannot help. :smallsigh:

[Haluesen]

Ah, I didn't read through everything today, but skimmed. Instead of answering, I will just answer 'how does it go?' with 'well, how does it go for you?'

There are 7 pages of things I should have read, but I was eager to jump into the banter. Well, generally pretty good. My mind is absolutely buzzing with gaming ideas, which is always fun. But I also had trouble over the last few weeks with some issues, hence my being gone. So, better is the best way to put it.


Just do not move to Australia. There are droughts over there all of the time. I think someone somewhere I used to live recently mentioned there is a drought right now. In the rainy season! I hope the farmers are okay...

Well, I have always wanted to travel to Australia, to visit friends at least, and I had considered moving there before were it possible, but even less brain makes me much less eager to be there for too long. :smalleek:

I had written an evil druid with a badger, but didn't play it because the 'save the badgers' thing started. I felt sorry for the badgers and decided said druid should be a neutral druid of badassery to save the badgers!



Well, it isn't a psychology class, it's a computer science class, and I suspect that if you went the full way to cognitive psychology you'd probably drop the computer aspect. Plus, cognitive psychology is borderline (natural) science anyway...

Right, you did say that it was a computer class, but still I find it interesting that all that stuff you said can be applied to working with computers. :smallsmile: Even though psychology in general bothers me.


This sounds interesting. Would perhaps make for a good, creepy, setting-driven horror game... :3

That is the point of it all, indeed. I mean, the main enemies are called Nightmares. :smalltongue: I may at some point in the future be planning to run a game on the boards.


Hm.

Some of the bits of that description remind me of City of Angles.
(other bits less so)
(might be just that I was reading it recently)
Buildings next to buildings, askew or aligned. Buildings sometimes intersecting buildings, for that matter. Walk down a hallway, end up in a ballroom, double glass doors to a subway station, third exit on the left goes to a dentist's office. Probably wouldn't want your cavities filled there, mind you.

There's no rhyme or reason to any of it -- we've got streets which lead to dead ends, roads which criss-cross and loop back around, highways which go nowhere. Literally nowhere, as in "anybody going down that road is not coming back." This is not a good place to wander off unless you like wandering off forever...

Nobody knows where the city came from. Nobody knows how we got here. Nobody knows why any of this is happening. But it's happening. The city exists. We are here now. It's growing every day, and bringing new people with it.

We live a life amidst the twisted yet familiar.

If we're going to survive this, if we're going to stay alive and thrive, we need to learn to live in the City of Angles.

Looking into Don't Rest Your Head now.

EDIT: Looked into it a little. Decided I don't want to look any farther into it while it's still dark out.

Hmm, all of that does sort of sound like the Mad City, most especially like the rooftops. Though yes, I do believe looking into it later may not be the greatest thing. :smallbiggrin: But still it is an interesting, different sort of game to what I usually play or run.


THE MOTHS HAVE RETURNED. >_>


AAAARHhgklf.

Honestly. Like. One and half days before I go to Finland for three weeks they start their stupid prancing about outside of the closet again. Go to hell, creatures. When I come back from Finland I'm finally gonna tell the letting agency that this place really needs fumigating. Harder to make them convince that the moths haven't come from me though, or, I dunno. Because they haven't. I told them last year that it was all handled, but clearly no...

Oh dear are you serious?? :smalleek: :smallannoyed: I thought those things were done with too! I am rather sorry for your situation Finny. I hope this agency can manage to handle them for you. Just horrid. :smallfrown:


@Taet: You posted while I was writing or I missed this or something, otherwise I would quote. It happens to all of us at some point. Anyway, yeah this is rather crappy. Just yesterday I was cheering the fact (cynically) that we had the smallest bit of rain for like 2 days. If this is really gonna keep up this way...no clue what I am gonna end up doing, or my grandma. :smallfrown: I mention moving, but doing so isn't really a possibility right now.

[Solse]

The only one that would be overtly elemental is the fire dungeon, and maybe air. The idea for the world is that the four elements control everything. And with that theme, there are shrines around the world where the elemental power is centered. The BBEG's goal is to use those shrines to take over the world somehow. (I already know that magic gems will be involved) I also have a plot twist planned that:

Spirit is a fifth element, humans are spirit elementals, and the players' homeworld is actually the spirit temple.

Ooh ... that's really good! Will the players have to have the final battle at the spirit temple? It would seem fitting.

[Rain Dragon]

Now, as I said, worse cold can pretty much always be countered by thick clothes, and I'm well prepared on this front. But what's more important is that since I'm always cold, my mental fortitude is stronger than the most, and thus, I can withstand colder temperatures since I'm just more used to being cold...

I think you may have some troubles with replicating that last part, though...

Yeah, I just have to get used to it more I think as well. As for summer though, it is fine because Australia is very hot.


THE MOTHS HAVE RETURNED. >_>

AAAARHhgklf.

Oh no! Just the thought of them near any of my clothes (let alone if they manage a way into my hat boxes) is frightening.

I hope the moths become banished for good! Awful, terrible, disgusting moths!


They've got a whole bunch of good stuff. Hell, they didn't play a single song I knew at the show, but it was pure, undiluted awesomeness nonetheless. :smallcool:

Yeah, I think that if the most important part of your character's personality is their alignment, then they're just going to end up being a caricature. With some characters (wantonly destructive CE minions, for example), fitting a caricature is perfectly fine, but it's not so great for a PC. I have the hardest time playing chaotic good, honestly... It's difficult for me to define how a CG character would act in most scenarios.

Indeed. I've yet to run into a place where my players have called me out on my BS plots mid-game. I don't think any of the ones that haven't been a DM before ever really appreciated how little/poorly I plan some things, but they seem to enjoy themselves anyway. :smallamused:

That is very good to hear!

That is very true. In fact, at one point I wrote plot things to develop one of my players' characters because the character was a caricature with little to no backstory. I didn't want to ask them to write a kickass backstory if they were not going to be able to. I have a bad tendency to think of chaotic as just 'inconsistent'. Which means as long as the good character is being good, but overall is inconsistent I won't mess with alignment changes. I'm probably wrong too, but it's been alright. I haven't played in... Five or six years so I can't remember if any of my own chaotic characters were any good or not.

Heh, one of my players writes stories as a hobby. She is nice about it, but often jokes about how often I miss an opportunity to insert cliches or tropes (she doesn't do this in her writing, she just thinks it's pretty hard to avoid using cliches.)


So, better is the best way to put it.

Better is good. Troubles are very troubling and often it is a relief to finally be rid of them.

It is a good country to visit. I'll be quiet about living there because some of my friends are a little patriotic. Teenagers aside though, I'm not sure that there is 'less brain' in Australia. It could be difficult to keep track of all of the slang though. (There's a lot of Australian slang. It's kinda cool.)

A game on these boards? I'm suddenly a little interested in this possibility.

[Razanir]

Ooh ... that's really good! Will the players have to have the final battle at the spirit temple? It would seem fitting.

Actually, I was currently considering the fire temple as the final showdown. But I could always relegate that to the last stop on his Shopping-Trip-o'-Doom, and have the actual final showdown be back home.

Indeed this is true. Some of my troubles are not so much gone though as lesser, but still that is greatly better. :smallbiggrin:

*face palm* I meant rain, indeed rain. :smalltongue: Darn typos!

Yes indeed these boards. :smallamused: It all depends on how my schedule is over the next month, if I have time to run another game. Fortunately Don't Rest Your Head takes much less to prepare for than what I usually do with D&D. That's a big benefit.

Ah. Well, even if you do not get to run your game I hope your schedule ends up being good (if that makes sense).

Oh. Oh! My own palm should connect with my face. I really should have noticed that one. Heh!

Well, some parts of Australia are wetter, like the southern parts of the east coast, but a lot of it is a dry country. I haven't heard of a major drought in the country for a couple of years at least either.

[TaiLiu]

Is 'chasing the dragon' slang for something? Or 'dragon chasing us' or...?
Your query is mine.

No? We... Don't? Aww...
I guess we could stab them in the knees a little...

Actually, I have no idea. But considering all of the stuff they built I'm sure either they have a lot of clients or charge a lot of money. Even with the fact that in both the movies they were only busy because lesser ghosts were drawn by larger supernatural phenomenon. (Or something to that effect.)
I don't know, myself; I've never watched the show, and only know of it through pop culture osmosis.

Well... I'd consider it at least.
Would some lucky money push it up to a 'probably?'

Teddy was describing hug snow. It sounds like you could (with many layers of clothing on) sink right into it if you were to lie down. I imagine it would look like Teddy's cloud picture but with a lot of snow. Awww. (Cute)
Ah!

[Rain Dragon]

Firstly, it seems more like senseless violence than stabbing for a cause so I'm less likely to be interested. Secondly, I'm not sure all of the 'I used to be a ____ once, until I took a dagger to the knee' would be tolerable.

Pop culture osmosis is amazing. It is how I went to a convention dressed as Ishida Uryuu and my friend managed to pull off only admitting they didn't know who he was after the convention!

Some lucky money might push it up to a probably.

EDIT - I messed up a meme. Shame on me.

[LaZodiac]

I love it when a game throws a cockney voice robot at me that gives me an hour long conversation about the subject of the soul.

Impressive! I wouldn't have the absorbing abilities to do that.

Excellent!

What game is this?

[Coidzor]

Fumigation does seem like the only option, yeah. Damned moths. I'm sorry, Finn Win. :smallfrown:

That sounds more like torture. :smalltongue:

[LaZodiac]

Virtue's Last Reward.



That sounds more like torture. :smalltongue:

You'd think, but it's really funny hearing a robot compare the Chinese Room test to how humans and robots process information.

[Dimonite]

It was this time. I like spice that is tasty and then hurts me. The garlic just hurt. :smallannoyed:


Aw, but garlic is the best, especially when you put WAY too much of it on something! Well, I'm sorry that yours hurt you. :smallfrown:



Does it have to be fresh meat or is preserved meat Ok?
:smallconfused:


I'd be fine either way, just so long as I could find the stuff. Turns out, googling "bear meat" does NOT give you commercial results.


I'm sorry, Dimonite, but it's for the Greater Good. You understand, right? :smallsmile:


EYE'm sorry, EYE just can't SEE how this would help anyone. :smalltongue:

ION: writing ideas sparking in my brain like crazy right now. Wonder how long this'll last?

[Coidzor]

Trying "Can you buy bear meat" yielded two "exotic meats" websites and a discussion of North Carolina hunting regulations about whether they could sell their excess meat or not. So I dunno.

[TaiLiu]

EYE'm sorry, EYE just can't SEE how this would help anyone. :smalltongue:
You may not be able to eye it now, but hindsight should kick in soon. Iris there was another way, but there is not - my deepest apologises, fellow pupil.

On the bright side, no physical damage is done to the brain, so you should be able to retina all memories of seeing.

Well played. :smalltongue:



Tell us about these ideas.

Well, I don't want to say too much (I may actually end up writing books at some point) but I can give you a couple highlights:
Pregnant lady with a sword flanked by two guys. One of then says "we've got you outnumbered." She just grins and says "But I'm fighting for two."

Same lady goes into labor while fighting a Lawful Evil type, and he gets her help and waits until she's all better before fighting her again, and he promises to care for her child as if it were his own, and she says "I make the same promise for your son" (because the villain's wife died in childbirth a couple of years back). She later ends up employing a dragon as a babysitter for the kids.

[TaiLiu]

I'd say, "I'll be here all night," but I wouldn't be. :smalltongue:

The key is that bear meat comes in cans. :smallwink:

A question for Taet and Tai. What even is your avatar of, exactly? It's some kind of pink cat thing with wings.

[Somensjev]

this. this has been my question ever since they changed, i just never asked

[WarKitty]

My insomnia says hello.

It also wonders if anyone has any ideas for fresh herbs that would pair well with cilantro? Preferably fairly easily available ones.

Also, I need a new avatar. What should I do with it?
