You never really complain about how many RPG books you have in your collection until you need to pack and move them.

god...in...heaven...I have probably 300 pounds of RPG books.

@Ganymede Hah. No, nothing so weird or severe. Stuff like "Hey this guy is a former metal musician like me and I love talking music and wrestling with them BUUUUUUT..."

Neat people that may be wonderful conversationalist but just failing in the ethics department.

Or in MU terms: Great concept, cool PB, great wiki, wonderful writer...but a pain in the ass to deal with OOC.

It's always a shame when someone would be SO COOL if not for some behavioral issues.

Hence the: "I want to like them, but..."

@Roz Agreed 100%. The best roleplayers view any given scene as a team effort towards the game/plot/story.

@Ganymede AEW is fucking rad. I hope they can further steal good talent from WWE/Impact.

My AEW women's division future wish list includes Kairi Sane, Ivelisse, Toni Storm, Ruby Riott, and Rosemary. Its great as it is; Nyla Rose is a fucking badass, but if AEW can expand the women's roster like WWE did they'll bury WWE for sure.

...The Hedge transforms PoohBear into Naughty Bear and starts hanging entrails around like Yule decorations.

That's cute and horrific, but misses the point.

If you're going to play a game based on paranoia of being whisked away to another land to be treated like a Tzimisce meat-puppet, there should never be a Pooh Bear Happy Dwelling in the first place. It's one thing to clamor about "wrong-fun" over-policing, and another to stop people from taking a shit on every part of the thematic material.

Aha! But what about the element of Grimm's Fairy Tales?

I think, when it comes to Changeling, it's perfectly fine to, say, come across the embodiment of what was the basis of a fairytale, hell, perhaps the very vision of influence that influenced a fairytale writer, only to find it goes "Grimm's Style" or has been used as a means/lure to procure children and tasty mortals in a horrific way.

The sweet little old lady in the woods who offers you sweets and then tries to lock you away to devour you piece by piece is a very in-theme thing for Changeling.

Kim Shattuck from the Muffs.

Some of you may also know her as the female vocalist on "Lori Myers" from NOFX's "Punk in Drublic" album or some work she did with the Pixies.

@Auspice said in The Football Thread:

What's depressing in life is all I truly want out of the NFL this year is a Super Bowl without the Patriots and that's probably the hardest ask of all.

A non-patriots super bowl with a halftime show that rocks.

These last few years have been pretty lame.

@Rinel said in The Work Thread:

I put little wire-mesh trays on my desk, because that is what Professional People do, and I am a Professional People.

Now they're filling up with paper. And the paper isn't going away. Sometimes other people's trays have a few sheets of paper, but the paper goes away.

My trays have developed a fault.

Tape a little paper 'U' to one of them.

When someone asks you why you have a 'U' taped to one, you say: "Oh! That's Atreyu."

nevaendingstoooo-o-rrreeeEEEEEE

@Ghost It was terrible

Well if the little paper U on your tray is so bad, then you can rip it off and throw it away.

It's tearable.

It's October, so remember it's not "Samhain", it's:

"Sawwwwwww-when"

This show has some serious moxie. I'm loving it.

I don't care if Alan Moore hates it. It's a nod to the original style of storytelling, is political as Hell, and is everything that I hoped for.

Having to ask my coworker to stop privately calling our Indian teammate "Deep dish"

It's Deepesh, and fucking be careful, dude. He ain't American. His name actually means something(1).
