I must agree. I'm glad they decided to respond to this. These people take a knock at a simple hobby game and they expect that no one will take offense. Unfortunately, I'm sure Mr. Goldfarb will just receive the letter, stop making ignorant comments, but not apologize publicly for such ignorance. He really should take down those comments and apologize for that statement.
From what I've read, tons and tons of gamers are in the military. That was a very dumb comparison to make in general. I bet whoever wrote it thought he was being clever though.
Well the campaigns I've ran and played in have a tendency to start at higher levels than 1st (usually 5th-7th) since most of the guys in my group like having more powers and abilities. However, in our latest campaign, my DM pretty much told us to suck it up and that we were starting at 1st level which wound up being a good thing since it's been the first campaign we've played in a long while that's actually gone somewhere. We're now around 7th-8th level as a group now and are not intending to give up on the game any time soon. It's been cool to see our characters actually progress from 1st level for once in a long time. So yeah, I had a lot more fun starting at 1st and watching my character progress into higher levels. It's been really cool and has sparked my interest in this game more than any other we've played in a very long time.
by Children of Bodom Let's see...I heard Breaking the Law, Holy Diver, and some others that sounded very familiar but that I can't pinpoint.

Yes. Yes. YES! Del Toro is the only director I trust with handling a movie of any of Lovecraft's tales. He'd be perfect for it. I saw the movie on Friday and I loved it. I thought it was even better then the first one. I agree that it was pretty cliche in some ways, looking back on it, but I don't care because I enjoyed it immensely. And of course, half the fun is seeing all of the great effects. Del Toro has really outdone himself. The visuals are even shinier than in Pan's Labyrinth, which is really saying something!
I slaughtered the ol' sacred cow for Fourth of July bar-bee-kyew last week. Made some damn good sacred hamburgers too. Does that count? :P
Yeah, what kind of person would do something like that? >.> <.< I'm also all for Pathfinder. I also see 4e as just being some fantasy roleplaying game with far different rules. I'm not saying I won't ever try it, but I'm just saying it doesn't feel like it's D&D.
Your monster is actually my first exposure to the 4e monster set-up. It looks very interesting. I need to check 4th edition out, just to see how it works.
I'm so sorry for you. My condolences go to you and I hope you will be able to get through such a terrible tragedy. I can't even imagine how hard that must be.
It's never gotten very "adult" in any of the games I've run. The only time any sex or rape seems to come up is in the form of backstory or anything, never in campaigns. However, if a tasteful opportunity came up for something "adult" to go on, I'm fairly certain all but one person in my group could handle it. And it's not that the one person is like touchy about the subject. He's just really immature. He's the guy who turns everything into a "your mom" or "that's what she said" joke.
As well as my mother. :P
Sorry, I just can't resist...though usually I only do that if the other person at the intersection is doing the same thing and I happen to be listening to something obnoxious and/or loud. 10. People who don't understand that having one half of the bed in a hotel room does not mean they can sprawl out and leave me with 1/10 of the bed to sleep on. 9. Friends of siblings who come over to your house, insist upon using your computer and then insist upon sleeping in your bed. 8. Online job application forms with trick questions with only one real answer. 7. Online job application forms that cut out in the middle of being filled out, thus rendering all previous work unnecessary. 6. Having to take three tries to correctly spell unnecessary. 5. Younger brothers who are more blessed than you in the field of muscle-to-fat ratio but who still claim to be too overweight. 4. Teachers deducting points on a project based on a detail of the project that wasn't mentioned anywhere in the project guidelines. 3. Fourteen-hour car rides in which the portable DVD player doesn't work, your iPod goes dead, and you don't arrive home until nearly 5 in the morning. 2. People who act like they're cool and who everyone treats like they're cool, but in reality is hated by all the people who treat them like they're cool when they're around. (For God's sakes people, let's tell him that we think he's an attention-grabbing loser instead of pretending we're his friends when he comes near!) 1. Driving with my mother.
Headbanger's Ball isn't too bad nowadays. I caught some awesome modern metal videos a few weeks back. Though this is supposed to be classic MTV isn't it? Well I was born after MTV had begun its spiral into never actually playing music videos anymore (Have you seen what they play now? Not music-related whatsoever!). VH1 Classic is awesome for music videos, documentaries, and pretty much anything music-related though.
RIP Gary. Your game has given me countless hours of enjoyment and introduced me to many new people and ideas. Well wishes to you in the great dungeon crawl in the sky.
Oh and Pickman's Model. That's a freaky one.
As for songs about Cthulhu, check out "Cthulhu Dawn" by Cradle of Filth. Or not. I just bought it cuz I had an extra buck on iTunes and it had the word Cthulhu in the title. :P Decent enough song, but it's death metal...so... ANYWAYS, Cthulhu is a giant beast from a place beyond time who was buried under the ocean in an island prison called R'lyeh. (O R'lyeh? Ya R'lyeh!) And in the actual short story about him, this one dude finds all this research his uncle or something did on the beast, this police constable stumbles upon a cult of Cthulhu, and a seafaring ship actually sees the thing rise from the ocean! It became one of his most popular stories, but Cthulhu is only the tip of the iceberg. Lovecraft created an entire pantheon of entities and creatures. My personal favorite and recommended read by him would be Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath. Long read, but a good one.
Saw it today and loved it. A number of spoilers. Spoiler:
As has been said, you can see the monster hit the water at the end in the Coney Island seen. I didn't see this personally, but I think it's a play on the fact that two possibilities of its origin are listed as from space or from the ocean, both of which are lead to be true by this. Spoiler:
The one girl explodes. It's freaky. Spoiler:
I'm glad all the main characters died. It makes the whole thing more chilling to know they couldn't escape it. I also like that we don't know where the thing came from or what happened to it. Same mysteriousness. Spoiler:
The monster looked cool as hell. Spoiler:
Apparently there's a radio message after the credits. Again, didn't actually hear the message, but I'm willing to bet it was a radio message about the aftermath of the bombing of New York. Spoiler:
Go to the Slusho website and read the company background. It talks about the creator of Slusho getting inspiration from a giant whale beast or something. The monster? I dunno. Oh, and some dude is wearing a Slusho t-shirt in the movie. :P I personally think Slusho is the unnamed company that the one dude is leaving NY to work for in Japan. Spoiler:
I want to see it again. Spoiler:
Half of these things didn't need spoiler tags. Spoiler: Including that last one.
I've just been taking a break from the boards save for a post here or there. This will blow over as soon as 4e comes out. Because what'll happen then is that we'll have it, we'll see it, and we'll either convert or we won't.
And of course, right after I post that and try the link again, it works. That was great.
Server error for me. Can't see it for some reason.
To put it plainly, I probably will play 4e if three things come up:
What I don't like about 4e is the fact that they are changing flavor around waaaaay too much. I think someone used the phrase that they were "slaughtering the sacred cows of D&D" or something, and I'm inclined to believe this is true.
Linkin Park...something. Right? They're rap-metal and they've got two singers...I think.
Jeez. I thought you guys would guess the 2112 lyrics fast but not that fast.
Today was okay, but tomorrow I'm going to guess we're going to talk about your day in my civics class. We always talk about current events there, it seems.
Mastodon's "Colony of Birchmen". Great band. Great album. Great song. Indeed. We've taken care of everything
It's one for all and all for one
I actually have liked the art of like the warchanter and Ripnugget in Burnt Offerings. Don't have the others yet but I hope to soon. But at any rate, I think the art has been cool.
Hey! I just got this one! Dethkloks "Mermurder" ... Close enough. Murmaider, but you knew what you meant as do I. Let's see...next how about this: Hunt for ogres and dwarves!
:)
I hate The Doors too. Too much keyboard. Keyboard sounds cool, but they use the old 60s sounding keyboards. The only song I really care for by them is Peace Frog.
THANK YOU! I just knew that if my PCs saw the picture of her in the adventure, they'd be laughing at her to no end. I'm definitely printing that one out and showing that to them.
That's exactly why I couldn't stand FFVII and FFVIII. Too much technology. The others were okay for me, but those were really modern-feeling to me. I was happy with the others after those, though. Eberron's airships are fine, because if you're playing in Eberron, you are supposed to accept that you are going to be in a world where magic is simulating some modern technology. Pathfinder on the other hand seems to be more of a traditional fantasy setting. I'd be fine with airships, but I'd rather see like dirigibles or whatever. And even then I would vote for few of them. Medieval technology for the win!
Are you planning to have a bestiary in it, by the way? Most campaign setting books (Eberron and FR at least) had a small bestiary in them with some setting unique monsters.
Is that really it? I didn't recognize the lyrics, nor have I ever heard that song, but when I saw the lyrics my first thought was ROB ZOMBIE! Weird. I think it reminded me of Black Sunshine by White Zombie. Could be why.
Cthulhu Mythos References+Pathfinder=YES! YES! YES! I really like the way things are looking for Pathfinder. I'm definitely getting the rest of the AP for Christmas (just finally got started with Burnt Offerings recently), and I'll have to get the campaign book next year. You guys really know how to flesh out a setting.
Yes indeed. You spelled Sharona wrong, but either way. Damn. My internet was down all day and I missed some lyrics I actually knew. No One Knows and See You in Hell. Oh well, at least I was here in time to answer for Broadsword. Let's see...for my next set of lyrics, how about this: There are no fingerprints
Is that not Broadsword, the best Jethro Tull song EVAR!?
Iron Maiden's "Run to the hills"!! Huzzah! Yep. Like I said, it was a well-known one. Let's try for something...slightly more obscure.Never gonna stop, give it up.
I'm currently reading Les Miserables by Victor Hugo for school. I was surprised. The book is very good so far. Compared to other classic novels like the Great Gatsby and Great Expectations, this is proving to be a really great read.
Oh. And here's a new one since Drunken Nomad succeeded on my last set of lyrics. Probably the easiest set of lyrics I've posted yet. Mainstream, popular, and an iconic song for an equally iconic band. Soldier blue on the barren wastes
You, sir, are a master of music. I love the song. I'm glad they finally released it on D-Sides. I'm listening to it know. They call it "Rockit" on the album, but whatever. Same awesome song!
*drowns in a puddle of his own drool*
That sunofab&&#! Van Owen... Blew off Roland's head!
Holy crap! This thread is still alive!
I agree. Use ettercaps and then resort to ghouls if you run out of those.
Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner by Warren Zevon. I love love LOVE that song.
