Ostog the Unslain... Fan Page!


Paizo General Discussion

Hi all,

So I was talking to Erik Mona on his facebook page, along with a few other people, and I *may* have hinted that Ostog is the best part of that page, (though it is nice to know Erik does fun things like have a job and read comics, and I guess he's technically "unslain" by default). For those of you new to this, Ostog is a character in his late teens that Erik Mona (some shlub who keeps harassing the Paizo staff claiming he's, I dunno, some kind of big deal editor or something) has been playing, without armor, through various Gary Gygax modules helmed by none other than James Jacobs. Something like 30 sessions and hasn't dropped below 0hp while wearing no armor... and he's a barbarian! (Erik has a build up somewhere; something to keep himself busy, i suppose, between sessions of playing Ostog)

AAAaaanyways, Erik's response of "oy, whose fanpage is this?" got me thinking. It's stuck with me, but I've looked high and low and wow: Ostog doesn't have a fanpage... or he didn't... UNTIL NOW!!!!

Yes, friends, you can now "like" Ostog the Unslain on facebook! Right Here! in fact.

To celebrate this milestone of character fandom, I propose we come up with some captions, comments, memes and whatnot.

Here's the rules:

1) Ostog hates armor; it literally explodes off his body when he puts it on
2) Ostog has nothing but distain for James Jacobs (who has failed repeatedly to slay him) and likely anyone else who writes modules.
3) Ostog is far more popular than Erik Mona
4) Ostog is unslain
5) Ostog is very attractive to tavern wenches
6) Ostog has many things in common with Chuck Norris, but gaming related. (ie: Ostog doesn't save vs. Death; death saves vs. Ostog. Ostog doesn't have a great sword... he has a fantastic sword! and so forth)

If you know how to make demotivational posters or memes, i'll put them up on the Ostog Fan Page wall. (I don't, btw, and would love pointers on good sites for that sort of thing)

Even if you can't think of anything, like the page! Let's make this a thing!

You know this is going to make Erik insufferable, don't you?

Modern Ostog: Brilliant.

Mark moreland: hah. I think it would be hilarious if Ostog became huge but everyone started ignoring Erik. "Him? No way, Ostog is archetypal, he belongs to all of us. I think Mr. Mona stole him from Jung. or that guy in the technoviking video."

Anyone know how to make Demotivationals? Or putting pictures together? I have an idea I'll try, but it'll take a couple days, and a template would speed it up.

Just do a search for "(de)motivational poster maker" and you should find plenty of links to online ones that do all/most of the work for you. Just need a picture to upload, and to type in your captions.


Ostog doesn't roll crits. He just decides most of the time not to crit, so it makes the game look more fair.

I love this idea and will continue to contribute to it!


Ostog got an official pawn at: Pathfinder Society Pawn Collection

Somebody made a cameo in Worldscape #3, I suppose we know why Hakon can never find him.

Nice to see someone caught that! :)

Here's hoping for more cameo and not-so-cameo appearances in 2017. I can think of at least one fairly major one that's in the pipeline.

Well, the dead are raised, so I'll say that I loved the game with the GCP, the Wedding of Ostog the Unslain (which is what Adenai is referencing).

Bless you Mona, I could listen to you game all day.

There's been considerably more developments in Ostog land with the advent of the Lost Omens World Guide. Our boy has been very busy indeed, with some new responsibilities! :)

It keeps you from being slain, of course!
