I fear for the day my daughter discovers Ponyfinder, she almost did a few weeks ago, i was able to distract her with a handful of Shopkins, but that only works so much....
I also hate Shopkins, so much! so very, very much!!!!!!!

I like to deliberately mix up Firefly, Buffy, Xena, Star Trek, Star Wars, and Battlestar Galactica references at family gatherings to see who's face gets redder, i'm just glad my brothers aren't the drinking sort, as it is i've had one kick me out of his house for it:-D

I confess I tried watching an episode just to see what the hoopla was all about. I made it about 10 minutes
I have a feeling a lot of people would find themselves having a bit more fun with it if they started with the Season Four finale, but ultimately, it's a kids' show. And unlike ATLA and Gravity Falls, it's also a toy show. I like FiM for pulling off so much with so little (and for being f@**ing adorable), but I can't claim it's for everyone.
Assimilation is imminent.
Resistance is futile.

My confession:
I like the "bikini armour" style of fantasy female character art because I wish I was pretty and comfortable/confident enough with my body to be able to dress like that, sometimes.
Even still, Rob Liefeld needs to go away.
I agree- as long as there's plenty of beefcake served with that cheesecake. Fair is fair.
But I had no idea who the heck Rob L was until I looked him up.
I like ridiculous stuff like the suits in Kill la Kill (the anime is seriously not safe for work so be careful if you google) cus i'd totally wear that, hair and all. I actually drew my own characters in the suits at some point, including Bēowulf, and the powerhouse bearded lady with a hammer I described earlier. And naturally they look fantastic.
I like when in games that have bikini armor, it is bikini armor on both the women and the men characters. That is the way it should be.
Also Rob Liefeld is my inspiration. Every time I think my art is bad, I just remember that Rob Liefeld is a very successful marvel artist who makes millions, and think about how I deserve his job, his paycheck and his conan sword.
That's very true, how is he so famous? Certainly not for artistic talent.
Dr.Deth, fine with me. One of my players likes straps and skin style outfits for his characters.
I really like Lashunta, but I think that's cause the men are essentially psychic dwarves:-)

This was my first thought when I read Lashunta. Unfortunately, my fiance is not into dwarves. If the females had beards in PF, she'd never play one, lol.
That said, I have another confession!
I'm dying to see racial stats for a Dwelf! Where's my dwarf/elf halfbreeds!?
I'm just imagining some slender but ripped pointy-eared archer barbarian with a FANTASTIC beard, and FANTASTIC hair.

Alright, another confessional time....
I.... Actually liked the first D&D live action movie with Jeremy Irons.
Of course, I don't watch that one expecting it to be an actual tale of Ismyr. I watch it like it's a movie of an actual, honest to goodness game session(s?). You got the hammy GM who REALLY gets into his character (Jeremy Irons's over-acting), the thief that rolled horribly and was there for comic relief (Snails), the thief that happened to roll VERY well (Ridley), the newbie girl who decided to play a mage (Mirina of "Pretendsa"), and the pair of veteran players who know exactly who and what they're doing (the Dwarf fighter and the Elf ranger).
Watch it like that, and it's pretty hilarious, actually. Mainly because I'm sure many of us have been in a group with some similarities to it at some point or another.

Confession: I imagine that armor comes with an unstated gambeson, because wearing armor without a gambeson is an extremely terrible idea, especially if you're wearing mail.
#AlwaysWearYourGambeson
EDIT: Also, if you depict a warrior in mail but with no gambeson underneath, I will slap you on the wrist.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
What the hell is a gambeson?
It is quited, padded cloth armor that can be worn by itself if you're broke (better than nothing), but must be worn underneath armor so that A: it doesn't chafe and B: chain mail cannot absorb impact by itself so the gambeson is supposed to do that.
If you wear mail without a gambeson, getting hit with a sword is like having a metal baseball bat slam into your gut. Internal organ damage, broken bones and internal bleeding are a thing. They are a very dangerous thing.
The fact that people grow up knowing what mail is without knowing what a gambeson is is a failure of our decadent society. Gambesons are extremely important and I take being safe when brutalizing your enemies with swords and axes very seriously.

1. I despise gnomes. On every possible, existent level, I hate them. They do not exist in my games, even on Golarion. I replace all gnomes in APs with dwarves or halflings, and in my custom settings they simply don't exist. They remind me of those stupid Troll dolls.
2. I use enough house rules that I eventually forget that they are house rules. This has been... trying at times for my games here on the boards. I still need to make a document for them of all the ones I use.
3. I am a firm believer in the martial/caster disparity in the game as written, but I hate when people act like in their home games they have no choice in the matter. I understand in PFS it's unfortunate, but in your home game you can make martials as good as you want! So do it, and quit complaining.
4. I don't like PFS. Having DM'd organized play in 3.5 I get a bad taste in my mouth just thinking about it. I'm off the opinion its degrading the game by its very existence. I like the concept of it and all, on the story side of it at least, but not really when it comes to being executed on such a grand scale.

I hate Twitter, I really wish people would stop putting the f#*~ing # in front of every damn word they write, or combining it all into one word, I have enough f%+%ing trouble rearranging single words much less six or seven strung together:-)

Not only do I know what one is, I used to wear one under my hauberk.
To show what a "must" it is, I had a 1" gap between my gambeson and my elbow guards, and got hit there in SCA heavy combat. Hurt like %$#@! and drove links into my skin. Cool bruise tho.
I have argued this very thing with DMs, that when my PC sleep and take off their armor they still wear padded armor under it. I got to buying a set of padded just to sleep in. It is kinda nice to sleep in, until is gets really gross and sweaty.
You could wear leather under the chain.

I am so jealous.
The fact that you continue to wear your gambeson in your sleep makes you a role model for aspiring early middle ages infantry everywhere.

Or is that too niche market for you:-D
Isn't that kind of a niche market tho:-DConfession: roll my eyes whenever someone on a forum for an obscure 3rd party game in an already-fringe hobby that most people have never heard of describes anything as a 'niche market'. We're all here to discuss games that are far more 'niche' than just about anything.
Although, to be fair, aspiring early middle ages infantry is probably right up there in terms of niche-ness:D
I am the definition of niche, lol :Þ

So a few days ago I was researching the history of the formative days of fantasy rpg gaming, and came across the medieval miniatures rules that would eventually become the rules of Chainmail, which itself was the direct predecessor of DnD.
So extremely important piece of gaming history.
My immediate first reaction to this important historical document was, "Vikings didn't f%&~ing wear plate"

I can't see where it sez "Vikings wear plate"? It does class them as "heavy Foot" with dismounted knights as 'armored foot" with presumable heavier armor.
BtW, pretty much everyone in wargaming thought Chainmail was pretty bad. Wargames Research was the gold standard.

if you look to the right of the line listing hv. inf. - turks,normans,vikings you can see the word plate and then the rest of the phrase word is covered by the watermark, which I speculate might say 'plate mail'
EDIT: to be honest, I'm not very familiar with wargaming beyond that it is the origins of DnD and its link with grand strategy Paradox Games. (altho it's something I might like to dabble in)

I never played any war games, saw the movie, wasn't what I thought it would be. Always hated Tron
I used to try playing Robotech and Rifts, World book Australia and the first one about vampires were the best, Africa was also pretty good :-)

are you talking about the movie where the hacker kid accidentally launches a global thermonuclear war against a supercomputer?
My mom loved that movie as a kid and she showed it to me and then I loved it as a kid. :Þ

I think my mom claimed to have actually seen War Games when she was still living in Poland. She also claimed that it got her interested in computers in the first place.
Now she's a master's in computer science, lives in silicon valley and works for netflix. Funny how these things work.
