Last time I checked, they gave him his sheepskin before D&D was a published game. Anyway, the witnesses have been disappeared so as not to lose the Jack Chick vote.

What cracks me up is that Skull and Bones secret society crap doesn't set off any bells and whizzers with the Jack Chick set, but dang near everything else there is, from freemasonry to dungeons and dragons to mormonism, is hardcore satanic cult indoctrination.

If this were 1976 and I had a van...okay, let's be honest, if I had a van PERIOD that's totally what I would airbrush on the side. Get the Zep playing, the shag carpeting, the strobe: makeout city. I would call it "The Second Base Mobile".

Where's your swagger, dude? Even if you never made it past first base, ya still gotta call it the homerun mobile!

I've always been a fan of the "Death of a Matador" cut. Macho, like a Hemmingway, but tragic at the same time. Or the "Portrait of a Guy Looking Concerned" if somebody asks why the guy looks upset, you just say your genitals owe money to the mob. Classic!

Home at last! Time to scour my Monster Manual in a mad search for double entendre.

Always happy to serve the fine art community. A few years back I lost a Parson's kid trying to administer A Sunday on the Isle of La Grande Jatte by Seurat. We still keep a candle lit for that poor bleeder. Pointiism hasn't been a hot seller since the tragedy.

Hey, it's all about the public's incredible ability to sustain enormous amounts of cognitive dissonance without becoming terminally cynical. I think the whole thing's about to blow up soon, though--the Jack Chick set can turn a blind eye to corruption and influence peddling, but not to people covering up for pedophiles.

Apologies to F2K for letting this thread drift into political commentary.


10. Prez launches a new national educational initiative, requiring mathematics and computer science curriculum to include extensive training for students at all levels in solid geometry, probability, and architectural design. "We must keep ahead of the Chinese in the critical economic sector of game design," he says, "and these technical skills are the key."

9. National education initiative also includes requirements for English, history, and geography. "Test results show our students consistently cannot identify the literary significance of such great authors as Leiber, Vance, and Howard. They have no idea what the Invoked Devastation was. And they can't even find Greyhawk on the map with both hands. My program aims to eliminate this gross cultural illiteracy."

8. In violation of WTO agreements, the president announces subsidies to ensure the continued financial viability of our nation's key gaming enterprises, such as Paizo, Wizards, Green Ronin, and Malhavoc Press. "These companies are a critical part of our gaming infrastructure, and we cannot afford to let them fail," he says in his speech.

7. The SCA becomes a prominent lobby in Washington, exceeding even the NRA in its influence.

6. White House hosts a gnarly dungeon-style haunted house at Halloween every year as a charity event, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for schools in the DC area. The event is very popular but shocks some conservative observers and animal rights activists. Jack Chick says "The succubi in chainmail bikinis are proof that the White House is running a satanic cult to corrupt the youth of this country." PETA representatives accuse the White House of cruelty to the hundreds of thousands of earthworms genetically altered to glow green for the "Tabernacle of Worms" room.

5. Archery and fencing replace baseball and football as our national sports.

4. No one suspects anything when a huge black pearl is installed as the decorative centerpiece in the lobby of the new Homeland Security building . . .

3. FAA mandates "detect evil" devices installed at airports across the country to beef up anti-terrorism security.

2. Disney corporation announces creation of a "Castle Greyhawk" theme park in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. (It is later discovered that this is a scam to tap into the "National Gaming Infrastructure Security Subsidies").

1. Gary Gygax's original campaign and game-design notebooks are enshrined in the Smithsonian Museum. "These are valuable treasures comparable with the original copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution," the director of the museum notes.


10.The califonia coast line will be known as the "savage Coast"
9.Alaska will be known as "cania"
8.Cheyenne Mountain will be known as "under mountain"
7.Each region of the US has its own
"game World"(ravenloft/greyhawk/forgtten realms/and so on...)
6.Air force one would be called "Spelljammer"
5.civillians must wear tunics/rags
4.all feudal forms of currency will be renstated
(ie.1/100=CP-10/100=SV-100/100=GP-1000/100=PT)
3.cars will now be pulled by the # of horses = to there Horse power
2.the presidents wife will be know as the "valsharess"
1.technologly is either outlawed or worshiped
(like the "back in the day" style of DnD)
I know this all sucks but hey,thats just the first year of presidentsey!

EVERYONE knows that Cheyenne Mountain is the secret headquarters of the Stargate Program, so it CAN'T be turned into Undermountain. Duh.


If a gamer became President

All would be right in the Universe. Till Underverse come.


Man, it'd never work. He'd start a nuclear holocaust in the mistaken impression he could just call it a "TPK" and start a new campaign afterwards. Real life, alas, also fails to use the Action Points variant.

I second all of this...though Adult Swim would get a piece of that pie.

And TV's Frank would be reincarnated!

The only Boyle nobody would mind having. (May he R.I.P.)

7. USMC White House Guards would wear armor along with their swords....

actually, USMC personnel who served on ships in the late 18th century and the early 19th century did wear leather armor on their chests and necks as protection against sword slashes....from which the USMC acquired the nickname of "Leathernecks"

So, um, I guess I can't count on your vote in 2012 then, huh?

...3) The President convinces Congress that the leaders of Iran are trying to bring Kyuss onto our plane. He promises that his CIA scrying experts have evidence, but that he cannot actually show any of this evidence because of “Realm Security”. The top 55 most wanted Iranian leaders are made into an expansion for Magic: the Gathering and distributed to US soldiers. (Ahmadinejad is totally broken and banned from Type II play)...

And you can be certain that this one hasn't happened already how?... :)


If Gordon Brown were a gamer:
10) Evidence gained by means of speak with the dead would prove conclusive at the enquiry into recent overseas military adventures.

9) MPs would claim that whenever a scandal featuring them broke that it was 'a doppleganger' who was involved and that they themselves were never involved. Meanwhile reliable spellcasters able to cast simulacrum would be impossible to get hold of by those who weren't a member of the House of Commons.

8) There be a privacy law passed to protect celebrities from being scryed upon by tabloids.

7) Hereditery peers would all start with at least one rank in Aristocrat. Apart from the ones who started with PC classes instead.

6) It would turn out that the Archbishop of Canterbury uses the Book of Exalted Deeds but unfortunately only for the Sacred Vow and Vow of Peace feats.

5) It would turn out that the Archbishop of York uses the Book of Exalted Deeds but for the kick-ass stuff.

4) The UK is the Earth home of Doctor Who!!!! That means global scientific domination. Umm, when the Doctor actually happened to be on the planet and not gallivanting off elsewhere, and such visits to the UK unfortunately only tending to occur at times of massive alien invasions. Sadly such nominal scientific domination would not turn out to actually benefit the UK by much.

3) The UK has Stonehenge!!!! That means global magical domination. If the druids could ever be removed from their sacred place.

2) The UK has Tolkien!!!! Aaaaargh! Smaug in charge at the Bank of England! Oh well. At least with a dragon sitting on top of a huge mound of gold there would be assets there, even if bankers not being able to do anything at all with them might be problematic for them. And banking chiefs would suddenly find it advisable not to look quite so plump and well fed.

1) Peter Mandelsen, the business secretary, is discovered to be Asmodeus in disguise. Oddly enough, this makes Britain the only place in the world to do any deals worth doing.


1. The Pope would be visiting the White House and see President Lincoln's ghost. It makes its final appearance right before the Pope turns it.

2. The weapons of mass destruction would finally be located through locate object spell.

3. Each country would be assigned a level in order to determine its military power and overall capability.

4. The World's Largest Dungeon would be built under the sands of the middle east.

5. Many terrorists would lose their jobs because everyday citizens have access to fly spell and flying carpets.

6. The CIA would be disolved and the American Government would have a secret organization known as the Scarlet Brotherhood.

7. The President would get advice on all political matters from former Presidents via Speak with Dead.

8. WOTC Game day would become a holiday recegnized throughout the world. All government offices, schools, banks and other place of employment would shut down in order to game.

9. Nuclear weapons would be revised in order to allow a saving throw.

10. The guiliten would once again become the most recognized form of capital punishment.


Correction:
'Peter Mandelsen' should have 'Peter Mandelson'. Apologies for the spelling error.
And actually it's quite scary the number of links you get if you google 'Peter Mandelson, Asmodeus'...
