Don't worry. He'll just tell people he had a skiing accident, and then he'll mysterious produce a list of acceptable names in handwritten block letters.

You think this playtest won't end up in a bunch of dumb, obsessive arguing. *laughter*
(Also, the only reason I haven't even tried to read about how the playtest is going is because if someone says they're just stealing the concept from the swordmage in 4e and are thus the devil my head is going to explode.)

Let me guess:
You're going to infect him with plant spores that will make him choose the right name, just before walking in front of a moving bus.
No one will see that coming!

So, you'd rather sit out here laughing and pointing fingers than even trying to take part in the actual discussion. I can understand folks who actually have something to contribute getting bent when things devolve into flame fests, but 'I'm not going to bother, because someone might say something I don't like', is kinda like the kid in high school who talked bad about the 'in crowd' for no better reason than, 'Well, they wouldn't like me anyway'.

Um, I read the play test reports for the articles. Definitely not watching for potential train wrecks.
I can claim the high moral ground, because I don't gawk at an accident which has been responded to.
Edit: The thing about the play test threads is that there is only about 5% that is worthwhile, and you have to wade through a lot of bickering back and forth based on guesses about the material to get to the good stuff.

No, I'd rather sit here and put my fingers in my ears while I wait for the final product because I'm not good enough at mechanical balance to contribute and when things turn to a flaming direction it makes me want to punch someone in the face. (Also, I've basically been a hermit from sixth grade or so on, so I guess I am one of those people.)
So, yeah. We're both right. It probably won't end well, but I'm still acting like a cynical recluse. Right? Right.

I was thinking of Optimus Skeletor -- seemed appropriate for Aberzombie...

No slot. They leave packages at the front door. At least the front door opens into a communal entryway, and not outside.

Heh, fair enough. I have anti-social tendencies myself, but I do tend to be more optimistic about people in general. (And for the record, yes. I'm generally disappointed, but I'm used to it.)

Hand Cramps everyone!
Congrats again to Justin, Jude is a good name!
Congrats to Aberzombie too, glad you got your man-child.It's about time we're getting a bunch of good news around here! It brightens my spirit!
Psst, dude. He uses Cthulpoo, non-tears with conditioner. If you make your sanity check, you get some b*#!@in' thick and wavy locks. IF.

And if you don't, well, it's just sanity blasting horror.. What could possibly go wrong?

I just did some quick calculations. I've officially written over 17000 words in the fantasy story I'm creating for my daughters. I estimate that I'm about halfway through.
By the time I'm done, I'll have a pretty good-sized chapter book! If I could just get past this one chapter. It's turning out to be a tough one to finish.
Anyway...I'm off to stand watch.
Take care, all!
EDIT: Upon consideration, it's actually over 20000, if you take into account the fact that this story is technically a sequel to one that the girls and I made up together, but never wrote down. I wrote a 3300-word synopsis so I'd have it for reference. Technically, that's part of the story, too.

You have to be sane to make sanity checks... unless it makes you more sane. Hrmmm... by that logic: Purple.

And you only have to use it once an aeon. Between washings, you just wet and go.

He probably just bought it off Ebay and is now fighting in a tournament of assassins in a desperate attempt to have sex oh wait I'm thinking of something completely different. Still, I'm still assuming he got it from Ebay. Maybe Craigslist, you can find anything in those two places.

Cool. Good stuff, Paris! I'd like to read it when you want to put it out into the world, although I won't finish it until 2014 at my current rate of reading through stuff.

Damn, I didn't know that. Makes it worth the sanity check. In my case though, I just have to keep my foliage well watered, drained, and fertilized to have a luxurious green mane.

There have got to be easier ways available to him to just have sex.

Fun with Playdoh
I played a D&D game with my nevvies years ago with some playdoh. Worked out pretty well for golems, oozes, snakes, elementals, and your other simpler shaped monsters.
