I don't think Rick has his own thread. That sounds like something someone with a question for him should start though!

He's a very good guy, so it would make sense if he liked FFT.

I'm very good at doing things in a timely fashion.

Just ask those who do PbP with me!

...

Nevermind, I'll just ask them for you!

They certainly all agree! All of them!

>.>

<.<

Whew! Looks like they bought it!

Anyway, ask Rick Kunz all your questions!

Here!

EDIT: title edited to comply with his clearly expressed wishes... ;D


And now...

... some questions.

For Rick!

Does Rick Kunz have an >>Ask *Rick Kunz* anything here!<< thread?

If so, it themed (ala Chris' apologize thread or Sara's praise thread), or is it generic?

Does he like Final Fantasy Tactics, aka-"the best game"?

Wait, that last one is just silly, of course he does...

Should Rick respond and I see it in the next hour, I can actually theme this thread, should he want it themed. After that, Paizo locks stuff, soooooo...


Oh! You also haven't gotten "the question list" yet...

... hm...

... should I save that for later?

I think I should save that for later.

Hee.

I don't know if I should feel honored—or afraid?

What's the worst that could happen right?

Fire away!


Well, you've got, like, three questions to answer, first...!

XD

1. Looks like I do now!

2. I have no strong feelings one way or another about a potential theme vs. generic. So, dealer's choice.

3. The War of the Lions updated version, absolutely. It's in my all-time "Top 10" list for sure.


WOO~!


AND NOW~!

It is time for the questions.

It... it's a lot.

Rick.

Rrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

Super-serious series of questions*:

* Nnnnnnope.

If you could have 1d4 ⇒ 1 different super-powers, what would they be and why?

(Assume corollary powers required to make a given power work are part of it; i.e. Since you'd need super tensile strength/durability to, you know, not-die when you made use of your super-strength power, you get them both when you say "super strength" as a singular option.)

Why?

If, instead, you could be a gestalt of 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 super heroes, who would you gestalt to be yourself? Why? Which comic universe would you run around in? Would you prefer to be in that one, or this one?

On the other hand: BAM! You just gained 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2, 1) + 2 = 8 levels in a Pathfinder class (or classes)! Which class(es) do you pick, and why? Incidentally, if you could spontaneously switch races, would you? And if so, to which?

Similarly, you won the super-lottery, and gained mythic tiers! 3d3 + 1 ⇒ (3, 1, 2) + 1 = 7 of 'em! (And you gain class levels to match; please feel free to change your previous answer if this does so for some reason.) What path do you take? (Alternate option: substitute a single tier for a simple mythic template.)

Yet another query: you monster. Specifically, CR: 1d30 ⇒ 27 (or less) monster! Which are you?! ... and would this have been your first choice? If not, which would be?

But the wheels of fate-time have spun again, and your everything has been transposed into that of someone else! You've just become a prepublished NPC from an official source! Which prepublished NPC is it?

What campaign setting do you run around in? Why?

As a final thing: blend any and/or all of the above questions into a single ginormous question: an optional blend of a prepublished NPC, monster, and some superheroes all walk into a bar... and out comes you, as a gestalt of those guys, the race you choose, some extra superpowers, and have extra class levels and mythic tiers on top! What are you?! (Other than "awesome" - naturally.)

Equipment is a non-issue (like adjunct super-powers; what you need to do <X> is assumed). Also note that any significant others can be brought with you.

"Official" and "Pre-published" are loose terms, but general expect something that has a solid publishing company and identifiable map/world/conceits behind it (like WotC for Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Greyhawk, etc; or Green Ronin for Blue Rose, but not "True20"; or Paizo for Golarion, or the Maelstrom, or the upcoming Starfinder; but not "the Bestiaries" or "the Planes" or things like that - basically things that people can find and nerd out about with you). Similarly, if it has a solid AP out for it, that, too, is acceptable (like Legendary Planet; or any of Paizo's APs). It should probably be a d20 variant, but it can be whatever you like of those many variants (True20, Blue Rose, Paizo, 3.5, 3rd; etc.). That said, if a Homebrew or otherwise "weak" entry just needs to be there due to compelling reasons... okay. Similarly other systems. Let us know why! Computer and video game translations of such (Neverwinter Nights and/or expansions/sequels; PFO; etc) are acceptable as interpretations as well.

Similarly, for comics, it needs to be superheroes that people can reasonably be expected to come across - "that one I made up with my cousin as a kid" is an awesome answer, and worth noting and why, but prrrrooooobabaly isn't the best choice, unless it's just so powerful that you've GOT to. In which case: sure, but bring us along for the ride! Related, the super need not come from one of the "big two" in comics, so long as the people and world is both recognizes me and accessible - choosing The Incredibles world is valid, as is Spawn (blech); you're not just limited to Marvel or DC. Similarly "standard" powers need not apply - so long as it is clearly communicable, it's fine (even if all the field specifics aren't clear, that's okay - knowing you're powered by our yellow star is fine; you don't need to know this, but it's acceptable if you do).

Finally, presume you have the basics necessary for a happy life. Your spouse, best friend, and so on, can all be considered to "come with you" (should they choose to do so) wherever it is that you go.

Oh, and one more thing: if you lived through a Legend of Zelda (as one of the Links); which would it be, and why?

Thanks! Enjoy!


I didn't scare you off already, did I?

That's QUITE the lengthy question, so it will take me awhile to answer—but it will be answered.


WOOOOOOOOOO~!

The wort job I ever had was at a fishery in Florida. I was about 12 or 13? A lot of small town Florida businesses play fast and loose with child labor laws.

I was part of a group of kids who would climb into giant mostly-empty vats of fish viscera to retrieve any usable fish parts.


:I

That's... wow.

That is a big question up there, Tacticlion. You might play with the formatting a bit and spoiler out the asides and explanations.

Do you like butterscotch? What about Butterbeer?

I'm quite fond of butterscotch, especially butterscotch pie. If anyone has a good family recipe for it, I'd love to have it. Recipes I've found online and tried have all been lackluster to say the least.

As far as Butterbeer, not at all. What a horrible waste of good cream soda.

Would you believe I've never had any of it?

Nooooooooooo~! ... but fair. XD

I think it's great, but I can understand the distaste! Huzzah for individual and differing tastes! :D

What celebrity do people say you most resemble.

For instance, I tell people all the time that I look like Brad Pitt in Legends Of The Fall.

That’s a great answer.

Hey Rick... Did you get that "thing" I sent you?

Suikoden II, and there is a fairly large gap between it and the number 2 on my list—which is Final Fantasy VI.

It is far and away the best RPG I've ever played. It's a game that manages to balance a complex high-fantasy story filled with political intrigue, while establishing and maintaining relationships between characters that feels real, and were emotionally engaging.

Suikoden II also has one of the most terrifying villains in gaming.

Also, early in the game you get your own castle, which expands throughout the games as you recruit 108 playable characters. The 3 separate combat systems are great. Standard 6-person party RPG combat, army combat, and duels.

The soundtrack is amazing, and the graphics (sprites) hold up even today.

If you want a tl;dr, it's Game of Thrones with Pokemon-style character collection.

The first game is also a must play, and you can carry your save from it into Suikoden II. You can find both Suikoden and Suikoden II on the PSN Store. Buy them both, and thank me after.

Hey, me too! Except I add that he'd also been pushed through a sliding glass door onto concrete, and used sandpaper to wipe his face clean.

Holy s@~#! Sorry if this question is insensitive, but is there a reason this reminds me so much of the first adventure of Curse of the Crimson Throne?

Barbarian, with the Mad Dog archetype.

Out of all the classes I've played in any RPG—not just Pathfinder—the most fun I've had playing was with that archetype.

I love the flavor behind the archetype as well, and having an animal companion with a barbarian is pretty great.


How are things going these days?
