Who hear has seen and remembers this video?
I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Re: I Can't Believe It's Not An Index CCXXXIII - Jasdoif's Random Banter #233
Dark Elf... huhh... well, I had this idea to run this underground-focused game of dwarven and dark elven politics...
Yeah, looking forward to getting my paws on it. However, it's still stuck somewhere between U.S. and Europe. No way to find out where exactly.
Also, my first game would be quite limited in scope - I'll stick to the basics and then start adding stuff as I get some experience.
I have successfully used Charred as basis. Burned just one character using book & paper approach - it's time consuming, but I had lots of fun.
No worries, got lots of experience explaining why lower skill rating is better to Riddle of Steel newbies. But yeah, this is a special game: missing arm is actually an asset.
Don't hold your breath, but yeah: feel free to work on some dorfs or dark elves. To be honest, I plan to run mostly social game this time, with some dangerous fights. However, I consider the Duel of Wits as the best part of the whole package.Call me Laco or Ladislav (if you need to be formal). Avatar comes from the talented linklele.

Re: I Can't Believe It's Not An Index CCXXXIII - Jasdoif's Random Banter #233
It's warm, I'm tired, it's kind of noisy, I'm cranky and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are going to be really warm. I dislike summer. If I'm lucky it'll be warm enough that exhaustion will enable me to sleep. If I'm not so lucky I'll live, but be ever so slightly irritated all the time for a little while.
Curse thee sun, eternal nemesis mine, scorching me in thine baleful rays with thine hateful gaze, burning all to sate thine vicious hunger and boundless cruelty.

Re: I Can't Believe It's Not An Index CCXXXIII - Jasdoif's Random Banter #233
Bare in mind that Dark Elvishness is philosophical rather than cultural. A dark elf has started to succumb to Grief, but has decided to instead give into Spite and lash out at the world for not being eternal.
There's no such thing as a dark elven nation under the Codex's assumptions.

And isn't that the same for every game? I get shocked when I see new GMs start their first Dungeons & Dragons campaign and rule that anything goes.
Not that I'm not guilty of wanting to play the more annoying PC options (glances at 13th Age's Occultist).

Re: I Can't Believe It's Not An Index CCXXXIII - Jasdoif's Random Banter #233
Let's see, 28 and 27 degrees celcius tomorrow and the day after tomorrow respectively. It'll be a bit warmer indoors. Maybe that's not so bad for most people, but I don't like it. It doesn't get very humid here, so there's that at least. It gets worse farther inland without the sea nearby to act as a temperature buffer.
I wish I could think of some places I could recommend to tourists, but I'm coming up empty (other than the standard stuff like Keukenhof and Madurodam that is, but you won't need my help to find that stuff!). Well, a university's hortus botanicus is probably worth a look, but I imagine you have those around where you're at too.

Re: I Can't Believe It's Not An Index CCXXXIII - Jasdoif's Random Banter #233
Heh. My last worldbuilding attempt had Dark Elves retreat underground to shed the monarchy, corruption and overall elven attitude. They were the only democracy in the whole world - and they even worked together with the dwarves*. Guess I got overexcited a bit.
* - they promised an alliance for next 10,000 years if they were provided with land (read: caves) and left alone. The dwarves completely forgot about the frail dandelion eaters underground, but after the 10K years, the dark elf emissary just appeared and informed the dwarves that their part of the alliance has been fulfilled (they were never called upon by the dwarves for assistance) and that they were keeping their side of underground.
Physically, I own only Burning Wheel and Draci Doupe 2nd edition (Dragon's Dungeon; a Czech take on D&D). My whole collection is in PDFs, bought all around the 'net.
I also had few of them printed and bound, but I don't usually order as the prices get extremely steep when you include shipping to my wonderfully backwards country.
Well, I tend to get drawn in and excited over the characters so I usually allow some options that you'd call annoying (or I would... if I had the heart). But, to be honest, for first games I usually prefer mainly melee combatants and simple builds. Experience taught me it's best to start easy.
Well, for me it's the second best thing I've ever seen character generation-wise. First was Traveller's lifepath generation - I just love that.
I was only afraid that it would be clunky or too narrow for my tastes, but the players enjoyed it and I was having a lot of fun. Especially when I put them through my own take on the Sword scenario (you know, the one where game starts with PCs around the fabled Sword of Swording and they have to deal with the issue that there is four of them, each with a good claim, and only one sword). It was fun. And not even clunky.
Well said. Well said.
I only have two colours: white and red. Summer's kinda...annoying. Especially when there's no 2 months of summer holidays anymore.Call me Laco or Ladislav (if you need to be formal). Avatar comes from the talented linklele.

I love when people debating on which character will win in a fight. It could be a fictional and/or non-fictional character.
It's time to get my Magikarp on!

Re: I Can't Believe It's Not An Index CCXXXIII - Jasdoif's Random Banter #233
Sigh. Just had to have a big "we dont want you in the D&D group anymore" talk. No fun was had. Social anxiety sucks.
“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Ouch. Burning easily sucks.
Social anxiety makes it more difficult, but for what it's worth: even people without social anxiety would find that kind of conversion difficult. Kudos to you for doing what needed to be done, even though it's hard. That's what matters.
I shall retire to the desert and devote myself to writing hate poetry about the sun. Maybe I should have replaced 'to state' with 'for' and slipped another 'thine' before 'boundless cruelty' so it's still 2 (3, 3), 2 (10, 10) and that sentence more closely matches the preceding one.
Plague on man, evil o'er earth, thirst thine command, drought thine will, suffering thou inflicts, death thou dealeth.*
*Yes, I know it's wrong and it's just ye olde butcherede Englishe.

I'm off of work this Friday because of Juneteenth which I didn't know was a holiday.

Sandwhich experiment: Peporroni and provolone melt, white bread, with dijon mustard in five layers: cheese, pepperoni, cheese, pepperoni, cheese, fried in olive oil.
Good toasting, satisfying texture, flavors complementary, but bread was already toasted dark before the middle layers ceased to be cold. Might be better cooked in a press of some sort.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: I Can't Believe It's Not An Index CCXXXIII - Jasdoif's Random Banter #233
I watch a lot of cooking programs and I've taken classes in food science.
I like to think I have a vague idea of what I'm doing.
Really want to make Kitsune Udon at some point but it's hard to find Dashi that isn't part of prepackaged ramen...
Also want to try making Neo-Kabe Pizza, which is a slice of pepperoni pizza floating in a bowl of miso soup.
And then there's a chili recipe I want to make but my family doesn't want to because they've fallen for the bean lobby's propaganda.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.
