Heliomance's Everchanging Thread Title Random Banter #167

I suppose I'm not a naming kind of person. I don't even name my guitars, and those are the objects I'm closest to. Hell, the only named objects in the whole house are the computer-based things, because we need names for them for the network.

All our computer-based things have Discworld names. Like, the laptop is the Luggage. The iPad is the Dis-organizer.

Only electronics get names in my house. I used to name things in the network as WWII leaders. My mother was not amused that time. Afterwards I stick with Literary allusions that sometimes go over my parents heads and sometimes don't. My Wii is named [MyNAME] Jr. and that's about it. My Piano is Claudius Vivancus Poncelet I but that's just the mnemonic I have so that I remember its model.

Do plushies count toward named things or is that just expected?

What is the purpose of the goggles?

...whoa, I'm tired. It took me three tries to spell spoiler right for the tags.

It prevents your eyes from being plucked out.

They are just expected, yha.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Well, I don't name a lot of things because the right name never really presents itself. But Loafer's Glory is the ideal name for my home.

My door says 'Day-sleeper, please do not knock. No soliciting at any time.' There is a sign above it that says 'If you lived here, you'd be home by now.'

Sigh...I wish there was a Mecha table top RPG. I really, really like robots.

That'd be cool. I was wanting a sci-fi or mecha MMO for a while. Too many medieval fantasy ones on the market.

I'm sure there are plenty of those.
I'm sure they're also incredibly intricate and complex, and thus difficult to actually play.

Probably. I kinda wish there was one that had equal parts ease of play and customization so as to make me feel like I'm really building a mech.

[Worira]

Well, there's BattleTech/MechWarrior, although I don't really know much about either.

Not to sure on it myself, but that's not exactly what I'm thinking of.

[factotum]

Well, in England there are houses that have already been named, generally because they were owned by some noble or other amazingly rich dude.

There are smaller houses that are named by their occupants as well. I don't think there's any restriction on this, so long as the post office know the name!

[LaZodiac]

Before I go to bed, I just noticed something. The big footprint icon at the top of the website has a little foot next to it now. A small part of me wants to think our beloved Giant has a kid now, and he's hinting at the news with that. Or it's just a logo change. Either or.

Anyway, keep the discussion going about Mecha DND style games. I want to wake up to atleast two suggestions. Please and thank you, I'll be eternally grateful

[Pheehelm]

That's always been there. It's to put the "giant" footstep in perspective.

[Rawhide]

That's always been there. In fact, the file was last modified in 2006 (and then it was probably a server modification, not an art modification, making it even older).

That is way too cheap for the effect! Completely unbalanced!

[Teddy]

I mean, custom license plates are for fun as well (also, it tells you the person is a slightly more proficient driver since there are requirements for one).

Uh? From what I know about how it is here in Sweden, the only requirement is a 5000 kr (IIRC) thicker wallet (and that you own a car to put it on, but that's assumed).

...whoa, I'm tired. It took me three tries to spell spoiler right for the tags.

You realise that there is a spoiler-button, right?

ION:
I'm not especially ill any longer, but still far from well. I can feel hunger, and that is a good sign. I would prefer that that good sign didn't wake me up at half past five in the morning, though. I would also like all remaining viruses to leave my muscles ASAP. They currently have the contracting power of jelly, and that makes me sluggish. I don't like that.

[Heliomance]

I normally type the tags out. I type fast enough that most of the time it's faster than going to find the right button.

[The Succubus]

You mean a mech MMO like this one?

I think what you want is an MMO version of Mechwarrior. Gods know I do. No silly RPG stats and level ups - just pure skill. Adopt Eve's "once it's gone, it's gone" approach to mechs, add a mining and production side and then send me a cheque once the goldmine opens.

[Ranger Mattos]

Awww.... That's annoying.

Annoying? It's much worse than annoying. I want to take AP Computer Science one year before I'm supposed to be allowed to, dammit!

You can never have too many medieval fantasy MMOs! Except when they're all rip-offs of WoW.

Nice. A summoning card that prompts a player to actually summon a burger to the game.

Ah, ok. I just never noticed it

It's good you're starting to feel better Teddy *hugs*. Don't worry, they'll leave eventually. Here's hoping it will invigorate you!

ION: I am dissapoint. No examples of a table top Mecha game. I am dissapoint.

Tabletop mecha games exist. I've played one, but I've forgotten its name. Also, it lacked the element of customisation, from what I could tell from my brief contact with it.

Now, the RPG element you asked for earlier might be a bit more tricky to find, though...

Yha. That's unfortunate. Basically, if it helps, what I'm looking or is a not uber complex Mecha DND style game.

In the end it doesn't have to specificly be a role playing game, though that is a thing I would conisder a "bonus".

[Worira]

I'm not clear what's wrong with MechWarrior, then.

Play Eberron Warforged as if they were giant robots simply say their stats are for fighting against other warforgeds and just add in that they need to be piloted by teenagers with mental and emotional issues.

[LaZodiac]

I'm thinking more Gundam then Mobile Platform, honestly.

I was thinking of just fluffing the classes of 4E to be mechs, but I think it would just be a kind of pale substitute.

Also, not every mech anime is like that, you know

[super dark33]

2 days till school...
i wont be able to post as much as i post then.

Ok...
Give them drills.
And Wings of Flying.

[absolmorph]

No, don't give them drills.
Give them GAIANTO DORIRUSU!!!!!!!!
That provides a much more accurate impression of the setting.

[LaZodiac]

Doriru. Not Dorirusu. Doriru is singular and plural.

Anyway, although Super Robo's are awesome, I'd actually want a nice Real Robo series like the original Mobile Suit Gundam.

god, locker locks are really fricking annoying!
