Ross — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 01:38:49 +0000

THE GUY WITH A JETPACK AND A HIGH POWERED RIFLE: When combat broke out he would zoom up into the air and start sniping. He had a kind of code against killing, he only killed villains if they fought back, or sassed him.

Ab3′s first proper rant is now immortalized by RPPR! Listen to find out the worst heroes ever made in a horrible superhero campaign. This rant was originally posted on rpg.net.

Me: “OK you walk into the room and see a group of Hobgoblins sharpening their weapons.”

Psycho Dave: “I flash my talisman of the Dark Gods and order them to bow down to the might of Azathoth.”

Me: “They bow before you.”

Psycho Dave: “Then I behead them.”

Ab3 Rant #17: The Bad Rifts Project

Ross — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 23:08:45 +0000

My pallet desires pie but what kind of pie? The patriotic fervor of apple? The esoteric revelations of blueberry? Perhaps the October dream that is pumpkin? Or perhaps the culinary dichotomy known as rhubarb?

Ab3 tries playing Palladium’s darling rpg, Rifts, at a local Denny’s. Of course, between El Disgusto’s obsession with ninjas and Blobert’s Smith’s lurid descriptions of transexual singing post apocalyptic nurses, Ab3 is in more than he bargained for. Take a seat at the table for The Bad Rifts Project.The Bad Rifts Project was originally posted on RPG.net and used with permission of the author.

Ab3 rant #18: The D&D Session That Mostly Wasn’t

Ross — Fri, 13 Jan 2006 21:56:04 +0000

“Why ever be out of character? Itâ€™s so much nicer in there. Player characters donâ€™t have problems with girlfriends and jobs and a rash that just wonâ€™t go awayâ€¦â€

Sometimes getting everyone in the same room at the same time to play D&D isn’t enough. Ab3 discovers that reality often eclipses the mightiest of in game dilemmas. Who would have imagined that a roomful of geeks crowded together wouldn’t all get along? Find out the secret of the nacho cheese in The D&D Session that Mostly Wasn’t. Written by AlBruno the 3rd
