Who are Das WanderingMen?


Off-Topic Discussions


I got something from Das WanderingMen, which I assumed meant that some or all of the four guys are over here on Paizo. Yet a search failed to turn them up.

So, would one or more of you identify yourselves so I know who you are over here? Thanks!


You're still on this? *rolls eyes*


It's the price people pay for wanting me.

Scarab Sages

They sent me a friend request, but since I didn't know who it was, I just ignored it.

The Exchange

You mean these guys?


Yep. Those are the guys in real life. But who are they here? As the zombie noted, I don't know them in the flesh, but my explanation for their sudden petition may be traced to knowing them here under some nom de net. Then again, how much easier it would be if people just made it clear who they were when they sent such requests...


Honestly, what likely occurred is that they saw you as a mutual friend of other 'gamers' on FB and submitted a friend request. Kinda like what people did with Keith Polston. ;P

Guys playing in mud together. Sounds very anal to me.

I like to give people a chance before I hit IGNORE, IGNORE, 1000 TIMES IGNORE! Mayhap they see my posting and say, damn, that guy can write. Like, double honors quality!

You mean that dude is real?


Don't be fooled. It's a Paizo employee just messing with our minds.

Still no WanderingMen? There's four of them: that's enough for one of them to be on here pretty much round the clock, in shifts.


For you, Prof ... I dropped them a message on their wall to address the issue.

Don't say I never do anything for you. <tap fingers on table>


Oh, you do things for me all right...

Heh. Thanks, Urizen.


Ashy here, from the Wandering Men! Just trying to make friends. :) What's up, folks?


Hey, Ashy! Pardon me just one moment.

{HA-HA! In yo FACE Urizen! I have succeeded!}

Ahem.
Just wanted to see if I knew you guys from Paizo, thanks for responding, Ashy. Are you the only member of the quadrumvirate that posts over here?
What all are you Alabama boys up to? Writing fantasy? Gaming material? I noticed you weren't in the Pathfinder Compatibility Registry.

I'm not asking those questions. All I know is, I made demands of the universe, and the universe delivered. ;P


Hold up. There's some Alabama folks putting out gaming material and they haven't come by a meeting of the Birmingham Area D&D Meet-Up yet? Seriously? Go there now!

(I'm Eric, the supposed organizer, although a 4-month old has been curtailing my duties there and Glenn has been picking up my slack...)

These are they which wander the land.

Handel nod is extry.

What a day. Rest your head, wearied from exploding.

Hopefully, Ashy will wander back tomorrow to answer some of my pressing questions. Maybe even his fellows will find their way back with him.


Saw a copy of their Skein of Shadows paperback used on Amazon for $3.90 plus shipping, so based on the good reviews I figure I'd check 'em out. What's even better is that it's an autographed copy.

Yes. It is funny how the universe works. ;)

LOL - yea, I'm pretty much the only one of the four of us who posts over here, and only three of us currently reside in Alabama (one is originally from AL, but currently lives in MS; and one of us is not originally from AL, but anywho...). Currently, we're working on marketing and spreading the word of our new CBRPG, Untold (http://untoldthegame.com). :D

Feel free to ask as many questions as ya like! :D

Actually, my Google-Fu aided me; I've got a subscription that pulls out any reference to "wandering men" or "untold" or "untold the game" and lets me know who's chatting about us on the interwebs; so I moseyed on over. :D

Awesome, Erian! I did not know this place even existed! One of our number lives in B'ham, so we'll definitely be hooking up with you guys! Are you all going to be at Imagicon next weekend? We're guests there!

Aye - I can poke my head in over here in the evenings; paizo's blocked from work... :(

If you get it from Amazon or Barnes and Nobel, it won't be autographed, if you get it from us, it will be however. :)

There are also some good reviews of Skein over here:

I'm, sure we'll have lots of members at the con--I may be able to attend but am not sure just yet...

We love to have publishing folks pop in and demo stuff, so definitely let's get something going there. And of course, anyone can pop in any time for a game! Although it is ostensibly the "D&D" meet-up, we have everything from Savage Tide to Traveller to CoC running on any given meeting. Once I get back to regular attendance, I'll be holding the fort for regular PRPG games...

Oh, and that should be Savage Worlds rather than Savage Tide...after running that AP for so many years it's stuck in my brain!

It's late, so I'll post again tomorrow.

But for now, I will simply say: Me...Universe...Urizen: HAH!

It was a 'used' book and (re-)seller made claims it was autographed. I just look upon that as an added bonus as the price was just right for the taking. :)

Cool - let me know if it is; I'd love to know! Thanks and enjoy! :D

Okay, Ashy. I'm at a resting point in grading, and I'm kicking back a Guinness/vanilla ice cream float. I went and poked around your site a little.

So, you guys have published/are publishing some novels, and are publishing a new RPG that is also a card game. I have only looked at card games from afar. What can you say to someone who looks at this combo and says, "Huh. Huh?"

Also, allow me to make a recommendation: you guys ought to try and go on Atomic Array, the best RPG podcast in Human History, and talk about your stuff. That's a great way for folks to raise awareness of your products.

It makes a mess of my laptop.

LOL - sorry, haven't had much time to reply this week, what with all the site updates (http://www.untoldthegame.com) and getting ready for Mobicon this weekend. Suffice it to say (for now - longer explanation coming) that we don't do anything like anybody else. We're ALWAYS redefining paradigms - it's one of the things we do best. Untold's a prime example of that. :D


Just to let everyone know, if you'd like to keep track of what's happening with Untold, there's a thread here: http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/community/gaming/otherRPGs/untoldLaunc hes&page=1#12

Haven't started yet (it's on my ever growing pile of books-to-read), but it did arrive and it did have three signatures. :D
