And "Bad Player" was amazingly funny.
: nozzlehead April 03, 2009, 07:00:40 PM
Where was the "Bad Player" bit?
He's great in the AP but I wouldn't mind hearing his thoughts on a regular show too.
: Tadanori Oyama April 03, 2009, 07:22:14 PM
Anyway, Bad Player was the title of one of the earlier episodes (I believe it was #6). I assume It was intended to be a discussion on how to spot a bad player and what to do with them. What it really was was a chance for Cody to tell stories about an amazingly bad player he had in his group during several campaigns.
He co-stared in another episode, I forget which, when he emparted the lovely tale of another horrible playering being raped by a Bee Queen, hince the occational references to "Bee Queen Rape" in the actual players since.
The Fear Itself actual play is amazing. It's a much smaller setting, just Ross, Tom, and Cody. Tom plays a freaky laundry shop attendent and Cody is playing a priest who's not a very good priest. He was a good man, in general, but he'd done some bad things. Cody played it well and it made for an interesting listen

Off to listen to Fear Itself...
: rayner23 April 04, 2009, 12:45:12 AM
I don't know what to say except . . . you like me, you really . . .
eh . . . enough cliches.
Honestly though, I really appreciate the love being sent my way. I really try my best to add some diversity and pathos to the characters that I play. Granted, my wizard in the New World campaign is pretty much all hedonism in those early episodes, but he gets better as time goes on.
I also loved Father Cole in the Fear Itself AP. I thought that was one of my best games and certainly one of the creepiest sessions I have ever played. Ross set a great mood, Tom and I were on and serious, and we both had great interactions.
We just finished playing the Watchmen inspired campaign tonight and I must say that I am incredibly proud of all us. It was a fantastic session and well-played by all. Great times.
As for being more active in the podcasts . . . I would be absolutely more than happy to be more active.
Once again, thanks for all the kind words. I deeply appreciate it.
: Setherick April 04, 2009, 11:45:43 AM
At the end of his monologue, Tom looks at Cody and says, "You know you're character is probably going to die right?"
In fact, Tom and my character sacrificed Cody's character by pushing him into a gate that sent him back to the Jurassic Period as a way of closing the gate. Hep C be damned, he was eaten by a raptor.
: rayner23 April 04, 2009, 11:51:10 AM
As I recall, once Ross said that going into this evil cave would be certain doom for anyone who entered, Ernie Hudson spoke up and said, "Guys, don't worry about it, I got nothing else to live for because I got Hepititus C." Inside, there was a gate and he entered it and was sent to the 1950's where there was some experiment going on. Some villainf rom beyond space and time telekinetically picked him up and began to crush him, but not before Ernie Hudson could start praying to Allah because he was a devout Muslim (a fact that he had decided upon once he began to be crushed).
Ernie Hudson - my first CoC character and probably my finest because there was so much backstory I gave him even though I knew he was going to die.

: clockworkjoe April 04, 2009, 01:02:54 PM
Alright, I'm in. What actually impressed me in the Fear Itself game, the first one, was when they were given the choice between saving the blowfish baby and the older guy, Cody was considering saving the older guy for the simple reason that he was of a bigger value to society than the baby would ever be. The others would never allow it, and I understood why, but it was still a reasonable doubt. From the actual play I heard, Cody's thought process is probably what approximate my own the most.
Actually that was the Esoterrorists game, not Fear Itself.

We'll just need to add about five more sylibals to Cody's name, work in some sacrifics, and we can get this cult on it's way to summoning some Great Old Ones.
First step is, as always, electing the priesthood. Now, who wants to be corrupted with the insane knowledge-of-things-man-was-not-meant-to-know first?

Look, if you can't get the sacrifics into the pit first than it's just for fun, okay? We have rules in this chaos cult, you know.
Alright, I never everybody to start dividing up. We need goons, slavers, and priests. I want goons to my left, slavers to my right, and priests to collapse in fits of mad babbling.

Now, quick annoucement, we've hit a little snag. Turns out that we have to throw the sacrifics into the pit but we also have to keep digging the pit deeper. So, what we're gonna do is dig an auxillery pit alittle to the south. I know it isn't exactly on the layline, but hey, we gotta get something done.
So, after a given ceramony we need two or three fellowers to stay behind, pull the sacrifics back up, and pitch them into the backup pit for safekeeping. So everybody make sure to take a look at the sign up sheet on their way out tonight.

Although their SAN crashes like a rock the loses are never revealed to the victims. The true SAN totals are kept behind the Great Keeper's Screen (GKS) and known only to the Cathartic Lobster itself.
This means that the world those exposed to Coddowalshagoth see is not "the truth" but a collective delusion. Because they don't know they have lost sanity, their perceptions and ideas are true and normal to them and to their fellows. Meanwhile, everyone else can see just how crazy they really are.
As such, Cultists of Coddowalshagoth always appear crazy to others and seldom to each other.
Of course, SAN lost from other sources can still effect cultists. And if the SAN loses incured by the Cathartic Lobster are ever revealed to a victim by Coddowalshagoth or a mortal somehow sees behind the GKS (likely to induce massive SAN lose in it's own right) and sees their true total SAN, than the gather effects rush into place right away.

OK, I did it. But I was watching The Daily Show at the time, so I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing and I fucked it up, so now I have "ADBLAFF" carved into my chest.

The credit line you used to be able to get for peons just isn't there these days. And the brain washing we normally use just gets caught in the advertising brain washing most people already have. I tell you, seems like every year it gets hard to compete in the cultist market. It's a business these days, no heart.
Let's not forget the virulence that people have with holding on to postmodern ideas of the lack of metanarratives. Can't really do GOOD brainwashing if people don't believe in totality anyway. God, it makes me want to resurrect Kant.

This is like the ultimate running joke with me and my friends. Now obviously in reality Hepatitus C is nothing to joke about, and case point being one of my friends who is an EMT. Apparently he was watching an annual training video ( produced in 1979 according to him) and at one point the narrator actually says " it may seem that you have nothing to live for " needless to say he had to take a bathroom break at this point. At the end he was asked to fill out a form detailing what he took from the video , what he would have liked to learn more about etc. He wrote " The Narrator....Ernie Hudson I believe was really enlighting in regard to the dangers of hepatitus"

I LOVE IT!!!!
Don't forget the Herald of Coddowalshagoth, Martin Van Buren (first AMERICAN president)!!!!!
I'm trying to work him in somehow. It's been difficult, I'll think of something.
The Cathartic Lobster is fairly straight forward as the primary, destructive avatar that's a direct threat to the players.
Locke makes an excellent avatar and prophetic voice, especially when combined with Father Cole as a sort of cult leader (inspired by the throw away line about having his congregation drink evil potions). Locke's personal perversions can be played up to horrific levels to demonstrate the "reality" of the god he represents.
Ernie Hudson was the trick, but I found a work around for it and even made him a big part of the game. The man himself doesn't appear in the campaign, but what he has becomes does. When I heard Ernie's fate being described as "an elder god tearing him apart", I instantly thought: well, that's an elder god who's got Hep C now.
The game opens in a hospital which has been locked down due to a sudden and inexplicable outbreak of what can only be described as "rapid on set Hepatitis C".
After infection the victim soon begins bleeding through their thin membraces (nose, lips, eyes), suffers massive pain in their abdomen, and drops into a coma. They recover later, apparently recovered, but within 24 hours they collapse again and their liver hardens and swells to impossible size, eventually becoming jagged and literally bursting through the stomach flesh of the victim, which them awakens in a zombie like state.

OH NO THE ZOMBIES WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DIGEST THE BRAINS WITHOUT THERE LIVER!!!!!!!!! poor zombies.
The zombies don't go for the brains, they just sort of attack however they can and eat anything they can get at. After a few hours their liver goes through another growth, developing spikes and eventually something resembling lobster claws, at which point they start eating on their own and continue to grow and develope. Enough of that and they just jump free of the body entirely, in a hard shelled form, leaving the zombie hucks behind.
That doesn't really become important until later on. The things that the players meet in the first game are the fresh, distended zombies.
The idea is to tip the supernatural early but to throw them with the wrong conceptions. They start thinking it's a zombie game but later these lobster things are running around, there's a priest preaching in the laundromat at midnight, and a guy with pointed ears and white eyes is talking about rituals that sound more like sex acts than magic.

I think that's scarier that I wrote it in the first place. It's a setting based around a Great Old One based on the PCs of a dude I listen to on the internet and that I've never actually met before. Who coined the phrase "frog snatch".
That's scary.
Ross is in Hawaii right now and he called me to inform me that he told some people about the screaming pelican and they were delighted by the idea.
And they could do it there too seeing as how there are beaches. Being stuck in Missouri, I have no chance of performing a screaming pelican unless I fuck a bitch in a playground sandbox.
Wait . . . did that I make me sound like a pedophile? Because it REALLY wasn't meant to. I just mean if I took my wife to a playground and we were getting all freaky in the sandbox and I decided to . . .
. . .
. . .
I'm going to just stop now.

I mean, it really boils down to a dick and an irritant so you just have to bring those things to the party. I mean, you could put a bucket of sand in your bedroom (or whatever room works for you), or make use of the many granulated materials available in the average kitchen. Corn starch comes to mind but rock salt could work too. Or rough ground pepper.
You see, you can make your own fun.

So, good news first: We get to fight out first Holy War! Hurray!
Um, bad news, it's against ourselves.
For those of you who don't know feel free to read the "Why I Love Tom" thread close to the bottom of the second page: http://slangdesign.com/forums/index.php?topic=229.15
As you can see, some differences in theology have lead to a conflict within the church, which means we have a reformation on our hands. Or, to put it another way, there are traitor among us!
So, Brother Codered will be playing the role of Martin Luther. Please feel free to choose your side and we can get this civil war started!
As self proclaimed priest and demi-god, I am proposing that the true and faithful worshippers regather under the new heading: The Aeonian Cult of Coddowalshagoth.

Using an Alphabetic system of Numerology, "Cathartic Lobster" is "2 1". That could be Feburary 1st. And "Cody Walker" is "2 8", which makes Feburary 8th.
Between the two dates we have one complete week, which in 2010 will begin on a Sunday and is not a leap year, which means the month of Feburary would appear as a perfect box rather than a box with nubs at the top and bottom if you colored in the date boxes.
I think we have our butter zone, gentlemen.
Hmm... There's a one in seven chance that a given month will begin on a sunday (7 days) and there is a three in four chance that a Feburary beginning on a sunday will no be a leap year. So, one seventh times three fourths is three twenty-eights which is roughly a one in nine chance over all. From 2010, nine years back would be 2001.
Anything weird happen in 2001? Besides what everyone is thinking of.
Actually, the fraction is one out of nine pot three repeating so it would actually be one third (four months) backwards from Feburary 2001, the time nine years ago, so we're looking at October of 2000.
Oh, and for shits and grins, using the same formula "Mr. Mojo Risen" is "6 8 2".

So, what I'm proposing is that everyone with the ability to do so somehow mention, reference, or feature one of the manifold manifestionation of Mr. Mojo Risen in their game AND record it to share with others. If you don't have the equipment than don't feel too badly, but please make the effort of mentioning it.
To make matter interesting I am offering a prize to whoever makes the "best" reference and submits it at the end of the Cathardic Lobster Fest. To help include those without audio recording ability the committe will accept photographic evidence and a written story of the reference (a picture of your group or your gaming table taken during the session). Artwork, fan stories of Lobster events (al la CoC jounrals), and written works are all also acceptable.
Since I'm offering the prize, my own entires in the contest will be purely for fun. At the end of Lobster Fest I will release all entries for public judging and the winner will receive their prize.
Event details and contest rules will be posted later this week.

And remember, you don't have to do it with a group if you don't have the ability to do so. Whatever you want to submit will be considered. If you don't have a group than write a short story or draw a picture. If you have photoshop than get a shot of yourself and paste in a lobster, altered to look giant. The important elements are effort and dedication.

0) All RPPR listeners are eligable for the contest. Specific exceptions to this are noted below.
1) You need to do more than just drop a name. You should use a theme which is connected with Coddowalshagoth or one of his avatars and have them be part of the plot.
2) You are allowed to create new avatars if one of the existing ones doesn't work. You are also allowed to use other names for existing individuals in the 'pantheon' if the names don't mesh with your setting.
3) The event needs to be time stamped (figurativly speaking) between February 2nd and February 8th of the year 2010. If it's a game it should be run that week, if it's a piece of art or writing then it should be done within the time frame.
4) Submissions are due in on February 12th, though they should be completed by February 8th. They will be made publically available for consideration on that day. In the case of session recordings you may send in a sample rather than the entire recording, if file size is an issue.
5) Submissions are counted as "in" when they have been either sent to my e-mail, which can be found in my profile here on the forums, or when they have been made publically available. Public availability through the forums is acceptable as is posting on an external section of the web to which everyone has access and providing a link.
5) The final winner will be selected my popular vote on the criteria of most entertaining and most fitting the themes of the Cathardic Lobster. Voting will close on Feburary 19th, one week after all submissions are due.
6) The Grand Prize, which is also the only prize, will be a copy of the Delta Green core book, or if the winner already has it, a horror game core book or suppliment of their choice. Delievery of the prize will be arranged between myself and the winner.
7) Tadanori Oyama, as the founder of the contest, is not eligable for 1st place in this event.
8) Cody Walker, as an avatar of Coddowalshagoth, is considered eligable for this event. However, he is not allowed to be his own entry, by which I mean Cody can not simply take a picture of himself and submit that since, technically, he already existed before February 2nd, 2010.

: Tadanori Oyama January 13, 2010, 11:26:50 PM
I can give you simple themes and ideas.
The central thrust of the Cathartic Lobster and Coddowalshagoth in general is corruption. Any setting which involves one of the avatars should try to push your players towards darkness and immorality. Listen to the early episodes of the New World campaign and note Locke's behavior and way of speaking. Sexual themes are foremost and should border on the offensive. Whatever your group finds offensive, you should push to the edges of that and encourage them to do those things.
Other themes, established through the fan club primarily, are a deep pit and things rising out of it after sacrifics are thrown in. Modern rural areas, especially small towns which, in older days would be considered villages, are linked with the cults of Coddowalshagoth. Most recently we went through a minor conflict within the cult. A secret society fighting within itself and effecting the things around it as a result would be a proper expression.
Lobsters, of course, share the correct imagery. The flashy man in a suit who offers things for a price is also a good image. Creatures with hard outsides, most insects infact, work well. Your players should feel intruded upon, invaded. Crawl bugs across their skin. Have animals and creatures that want to be inside of them. Burrowing worms, those flies that lay eggs in open wounds, your players should feel violated by the things they face.
This sense of violation should be mental as well as physical and even when a character leaves they should feel dirty, like they can't fully escape from what they experienced and that they aren't carrying the corruption but that it has latched on, suffused them against their will. Hurt them.
Less common ones themes, but still effective, are those who are losing the fight against hopelessness and temptation. Father Cole is the icon for this, a man who has lost his faith and yet pushes ahead without real knowledge of why. An individual who has previously fallen to corruption and now pushes back against it with too much force while often recalling their former failing.

Really we should be constructing a series of pits. I know we have some shallower ones inaddition to the main shaft, so I think a few more and some interconnecting tunnels would be the next step.

I've beat you with the first Cathartic Lobster M&M scenario though. I've had the giant lobster attack the city upon being summoned by his cult. The players try to fight him off with little success. One player, who's main ability was teleportation, boiled some water, teleported over to him and dumped it on him. It was pretty funny.

The contest is about actual results but is considered secondary to the Festival. On the other hand, you won't win a prize if you don't submit something for the event so think hard and remember: it doesn't have to be a recorded game. Anything you want to do to farther the Carthartic Lobster is good.
: Tadanori Oyama February 04, 2010, 12:43:43 PM
I learned alot, got some good advise from the players, and hope that the second beta test this weekend, which is not so tightly limited on time, will benefit from the learning experience and have more impressive results.
I still plan to make the first beta public because it has some fairly impressive CoC styled "shit going wrong at the worst possible moment". A taser is involved, as is a crippled CIA agent, and a special-commando hospital nurse.

Wheels are meeting the road here, people. This weekend is the end of Lobster Fest 2010 and we need to make a big impression for the first ever celebration of the Cathartic Lobster so I want to, at the very least, talk about what they wanted to do but couldn't for whatever reasons.
The clock is ticking, gentlemen.

I wanna play that game! I have seen some videos of it online looks pretty good.
It's great. Has some bugs and some issues, but it is very suspensful and if you get in the right mood, it has a downright unsettling atmosphere. Definitely would recommend it (even though it is about $20 on Steam, and a bit tough to find elsewhere).

The invoker lost his best friend, his future wife and beat to death a warlock before seeing a demon. The player is looking at what other god will answer his character's prayer as he thinks he's praying Pelor.
Codolshoggoth was simply a reskinned Young white dragon, who's breath weapon was bees coming out of his lobster mouth.
Tad: My friend usually writes down the games on his website so I'll have that to submit.

Second playtest of the newly renamed "Well Life Institute" went perfectly. It was the first time the whole group had ever played CoC but we had an hour before game of Q&A while they went through their pregens and asked questions.
They got all the way through the adventure but not in the way I thought they would. Helped me see alot of things I need to change and add and everyone had a good time. Got some great lobster stuff worked into this one though its going to be new stuff for everybody until right at the end.
I plan to keep working on the scenario and, eventually, turn it into a Con Game or publish it.
I'll be doing the audio adjustments to it over the weekend and putting it up monday or tuesday (in time for the judging to begin).
A final remind to everyone that Lobster Fest ends tommorrow so it'll be the last day to record your games for the contest but things don't need to be online for viewing until next week (though sooner is, of course, better). Good luck to everyone.
: Maze February 07, 2010, 07:16:45 PM
It doesn't do justice to the moment when the fighter hit the invoker as they were struggling upon whether or not to let the NPC warlock summon Codolshoggoth. There were these precious moment of silence. They weren't awkward, they were gold.

The pits don't dig themselves and if we wait for villagers to fall in on their own we're never gonna get the street cred we need to have investigators stumbling upon us.
To that end I am requesting the assistance of all cultists in the construction of The Tomb of Coddowalshagoth. Everyone who can help, please do, this is going to be a collabrative effort to bring together the various elements of the Cathatric Lobster together into a single, sharable collection.
Ideally I'd like this is to be a game usable package with information horror gamers can use and (if we can manage it) stats for us in some major horror games (Call of Cthulhu, World of Darkness, etc).
It's a big ambition but I think we can handle it.

: sarendt March 05, 2010, 11:37:50 AM
Even if she said it, it had no sexual innuendos.
I could be wrong, but I thought the whole point of the 'Thats what SHE said!' comment is that your taking something completely not sexual and twisting it so that it is sexual just because it could be sexual in a different context.
Which when you say 'Thats what SHE said!' means everyone's brain pauses and tries to figure out how it could be sexual, so your putting thoughts and images into peoples heads that weren't there previously and that they didn't really want there, but now there there, proably forever :*)
So...

Go around the house, set all the clocks to quarter to one, and then steal her phone, change it's time, and bride one of her friends to call her at the fake "ten til one" time and ask her to pick up something for her on way from the shop.

In other words, a hat that when Locke puts it on, immediately music starts playing and all of the NPCs recreate "Smooth Criminal"?

I once had a character that was a Neutral Good wizard armed entirely with 3rd ed. non-lethal spells save for one, which was fireball. His belief was that he had to serve as an example to pave the wave for a new era of pacifist wizards using the practical applications of magic to enrich peoples' lives for profit. For example, why learn magic missile when you can create a self-heating frying pan for traveling caravans? It was SICK amounts of fun. We'd be getting attacked by minotaurs and my character would be casting grease as a 9th level wizard. He absolutely REFUSED to cast fireball until finally they encountered Illithids.

Yes. You'd be surprised by how much pull Jerry Van Fucking Dyke has in Hollywood.
Well, I don't know if you'd surprised. I mean, afterall, he is Dick Van Fucking Dyke's brother.
: Robot Master May 19, 2010, 09:54:14 AM
I present you, if I may, a scene where thousands of tears have been cried by Nebraska implant actresses who's dreams have been crushed...by Jerry Van Dyke.
Ditches dug into shallow graves for personal assistants who FOOLISHLY gave Jerry diet snapple instead of regular snapple, having been murdered by "his people".
Jerry Van Dyke on a segway, rolling onto the lot of Steven Spielberg's newest movie, halting production because he thought the set was neat and wanted to pretend he was a space alien and knock the set over.
...all heard to the call of "Don't you know who I am? I'm Jerry Fucking Van Dyke. My BROTHER was in Mary FUCKING Poppins! Who are you? NOBODY. I could have you killed for less, you know that?"

Tad - Thank you very much! Personally, my favorite moment (other than anything RJ did with MacGuyver) was when Aaron was talking about his Optimus Prime powers and I said, "No, don't tell me. I don't give a shit."

I just thought it was funny how everyone gave Aaron such a hard time the whole time. From making fun of his character at the get-go through making jokes about G1, G2, G3... Gn, and so on...
Oh, and the fact that B.A. started as actually somewhat like the character but quickly devolved into just confused, disoriented, and not really sure what the hell was going on...

Which is basically par for the course with Aaron. Aaron gets zero respect in EVERY game he's in. I was disappointed with him not because of anything he did but because he wasn't more proactive. Vaulting the house into the pool was cool, and riding along the buildings and shooting into the glass was awesome. Between those awesome moments was alot of dull fluff and silence. He was Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots! Show from initative man!
Another great combo moment: Arje goes to shock Gordon, Aaron says no, so Cody cuts in with "What!? Are you above this all of a sudden! Fuck you, Optimus Prime! Send him to the past!" I couldn't see it in person, but I envisioned Cody waving his beer bottle around at Aaron and then Jason (who was playing Doc Brown).

I was definitely confused simply because Aaron was trying to bring in morality somehow to all of the insanity. He tried to place logic in a realm of the irrational. I was just stunned and couldn't take it.
His "moral" choices are unusual. Like, about two minutes after his unwillingness to allow Arje to shock a badguy who shoved his car sized gun in the face of a dumb fat henchman. I rub my forehead alot when Aaron is involved in the podcasts.
Anyway back to Cody, seeing as how this is his fan club:
"Janitors do what they want fool!"
"Well who are you?"
"I'm also a janitor..."
"You don't look like a janitor. Where's your ja"
"What do you mean I don't look like a janitor!? Racist!"
I really thought you'd move into the 'wise mysterious janitor' that Mr. T did for "Not Another Teen Movie". I was kind of sad when you didn't. Perfect set up.
: rayner23 May 24, 2010, 09:21:56 AM
Immediately after the janitor exchange, I thought, "How was that guy a racist? Wouldn't he have been racist to assume that I was automatically a janitor?" But I rolled with it anyway.
I hope Ross posts our New World of Darkness games sometime soon. Those are some of my finer moments in dickery.

: rayner23 May 24, 2010, 01:08:38 PM
Also, Aaron is playing and I cannot abide by his strange logic, so I'm willing to shut it down.
RJ plays a nun and I must admit that I was trying to get in her pants a little (or is that her habit?).

Assuming this was a hunter game what Compact did you belong to? I could imagine Ross running individual hunters or Compacts but he doesn't seem like the sort to enjoy the Conspiracies. Except maybe Task Force: Valkyrie.
: rayner23 May 24, 2010, 07:26:04 PM
I'm actually part of the Lucifuge Conspiracy because I thought it sounded ridiculously hardcore. I perform good deeds in order for Lucifer to return to heaven. My character is much more kind than Constantine, but I modeled him after John.
My friend Rich and I refer to the movie as "Keanutine." What's so sad about that movie is the fact that it basically acknowledges some of the things from the comics so you know they fucking read them, but they stripped everything out. I mean, "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" was absolute shit but they also wrote the movie without looking at the comic because they optioned the film at the same time. You can at least make some sort of excuse for it being so shitty (also, James Robinson wrote it and let's face it, Starman and the Golden Age will be the only two good things the man has ever written), but Constantine has no excuse because they pulled from the source material.
To me, Brian Azzarello's run is the ultimate version of Constantine. It is perfect. I love all of him though. The Ennis run began with a huge fucking bang and I hate that Ellis couldn't go longer than 12 issues. Neil Gaiman had a great one issue story and Grant Morrison's two issues were some of the coolest stuff I've ever read (the Nuclear Symbol is symbolic of the Godhead? Fucking nuts!)
Anyway, I could go on all day, so I'll end it here.

Aaron is Task Force Valkyrie (which he loves to tell people he meets on the street . . . seeing as how he's a secret agent and all).
God damn it Aaron. Did he have fucking business cards too?! I think this game might make me cry. It seems like I say that nearly every time I hear details about a game Aaron is in.
Anyway, the Lucifuge is definitally a favorite of mine. Did you go for the direct stuff or the really insidious shit?
Neil Gaiman as in Sandman Neil Gaiman. Vertigo Comics. Fucked up shit man. Actually, I'd love to see Tom play a modified Jesse from Preacher has a member of the Witch Hammer.

To my knowledge (since the games have yet to be posted and I've not been able to listen to myself again) I've only said that I'm working for AN organization. I've yet to fully reveal my association with Task Force Valkyrie with any of the hunters (possible exception of Tom because of our character background, sorry I've slept since then).
Well that makes more sense. Still not sure that hinting your an MiB is a great idea in the World of Darkness.

I didn't enjoy Sandman universally. It had some boring spots. I figure that's because it was a series and most of the things I've read with Gaiman where single instances.

Never read Stardust, but Mirrormask was incredible. I remember being so pissed that I had to wait months after it's initial release to see it (thank god for the Moxie though). My first Gaiman story I read through was "The Books of Magic" graphic novel which got me more interested in the DC universe outside of the Green Lantern spectrum.

: Robot Master June 05, 2010, 06:42:37 PM
Mine is more Kari from Mythbusters, she's badass. Ironically not too different looking than Felicia Day. Felicia Day don't know how to make homemade napalm, tho.
(http://imgur.com/x7kFx.jpg)
Not to get too deep on this topic, though, but my woman -hates- Olivia Munn particularly because when G4 was doing a thing on Star Wars, Olivia had NO idea who Boba Fett was. This made me love my woman EVEN MORE than I do now.
Which leads me to bring up something that I've been keyed into for quite some time. Hot chick nerd rape.
Hot chick nerd rape is when a hot chick who has no idea who Kyle Rayner, the Speedforce, planet Korriban, or Johnny Five is suddenly shows up on TV saying that she loves videogames and gets a shitload of money. Hot chick nerd rape is when you fail to recognize that the booth girl at the comic book convention is really an off-season St. Pauli's girl and NOT a geek simply because she's dressed like Emma Frost. Hot chick nerd rape is when a girl that doesn't know the difference between Dr. Who and Hell's Kitchen shows up in a magazine in a thong name-drops "Metroid" at the suggestion of her agent and then suddenly becomes the topic of millions of nerd praise downloads.
My woman accuses Olivia Munn of Hot Chick Nerd Rape. I myself say that she's suspect, but way too hot that I don't care.
: Tadanori Oyama June 05, 2010, 07:00:16 PM
: Robot Master June 05, 2010, 07:17:49 PM
Look I'll be purely honest. If a "Las Vegas 7" showed up on my front doorstep dressed like Psylocke from the X-Men and asked me for my wallet...I might give it to her on accident. She's likely to get my entire life savings if she has a copy of the old West End Games Star Wars RPG and tells me she's going to use the money to make character sheet photocopies for a game she'll be running for me in a few hours.
I think many, many hot girls know intrinsically that all nerds are so surprised to see "hot girls" liking "nerd things" that they can immediately become weak to their evil ways.
I'm just sayin...knowin' is half the battle. By all means, if a hot chick that has an opinion on D&D 3.5 versus 4.0 pops up on your doorstep wanting full access to your house go for it. All I'm saying is that if she doesn't know who Boba Fett is, she's either a murderer, a thief, or a vampire using your nerd pride against you.

Well some channel was rerunning it (I got to see the ending which I had never seen before) and they did a remake recently. I think knowing of the Prisoner is low level nerdness. It seems to me it is referenced all the time.

1) Kari from Mythbusters. I renounce my Felicia Day love because I completely forgot about Kari. She is ridiculously hot.
2) Hot chick nerd rape. I think hot girls should be given a pass if they are willing to make that leap into dressing as someone from sci-fi/fantasy/comic books/etc. I mean, who am I to judge if a woman with EE boobs wants to dress like Powergirl, but she has no clue that the character is actually the Earth-2 version of Supergirl?
3) The original Prisoner is fucking awesome. My wife and I sometimes like to just shout "I AM NOT A NUMBER . . . I AM A FREE MAN!!!!" I have not watched the new Prisoner starring Jesus and Magneto, but I don't imagine it would be any good.
4) He-man/Dark Sun. If the RPPR crew would like for me to do so, I would be more than happy to. It's up to them, though.
5) This thread is so popular because of viewers like you.

Consider:

Item- Everybody wants to play Dark Sun.
Conclusion: Cody can set the game ablaze with He-Man themes and creatures while Ross will never know where any of it is coming from. It's like people who play's only exposure to Greek legend is God of War have no idea what the fucking Iliad is.

I'm suggesting that Cody can do everything he wants to without calling it He-Man by filing off the serial numbers. With what I've heard of his 3rd Edition He-Man the game wasn't very much like He-Man so I assume changing a few names and details would basically create a setting unrecognised to someone without a degree in He-Man studies.
: Kroack June 07, 2010, 07:48:29 PM
Ross, I just don't think you understand the rich mythology that He-man has. Also, the world of He-man would just be a template for the world of Dark Sun. It could be so amazing.

Now, the royal family is completely in shambles and Skeletor's second in command, Evil-Lyn, has become the Empress of the land. The campaign began with the players in Empress Lyn's Death Knight army as they search for and execute the last few Eternia loyalists.
I would like to note at this time that I know how boring "evil" campaigns can be, but I allowed them to be evil because Jessica and Jared were both so shitty at playing lawful good (they were a paladin and cleric respectively in my old campaign and they were both terrible at it). One last thing of note, Andy had the WOW books, so we used character classes from Warcraft as well just so we could have some diversity.
The players were:
Andy Potter (or, as I love to call him, Andy Fucking Potter) who played a wizard of some sort named Kahloon.
Jared played an assassin type character named Riggins who would cut off someone’s ear and put it on a string of barbed wire that he kept around his arm. He cut off their ears because they “never heard me coming.” Also, his character’s big twist was that he was colorblind. Yes, you heard right. He thought this made his character cool and edgy because he was colorblind. Let’s face it, if Marvel comics has taught us anything, it’s that morons think that disabilities make characters more rounded (I’m looking at you, Daredevil).
Tim played a halfling thief named Swiggins who was partners with Riggins. He would never speak except to Swiggins which made character development difficult and also, since Tim is a pretty intelligent guy, it sort of put him out of group planning sessions unless he was whispering to Jared.
My friend, Rich, only played the first session with us, but he played a werewolf named Chaney Silverbane and Rich was totally badass about it. He was an excellent role-player and I regret that he moved away because he would have made the campaign great.
I feel like I’m forgetting someone. Someone important. Who am I forgetting? Oh yes . . . Jessica. Jessica played an assassin of some sort named Nightshade that was supposed to be well informed, but she never wanted to roleplay for it. She always wanted me to just tell her whatever secret was eluding the team. It was annoying.
The first session itself: This was Rich’s first game and I wanted to ease everyone into the world because no one knew this was a He-man game. I wanted to surprise the hell out of them, so I just kept dropping little hints here and there as to what was going on. The party was clearing out an old rebel base when they were attacked by a monk with metal fists. Of course, this is Fisto who looks like this:
(http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/gayest-motu/fisto.jpg)
But I imagined him to look like this:
(http://youbentmywookie.com/wookie/gallery/0209_heman_a/Fisto-low.jpg)
The players promptly killed Fisto. then Jared and Tim cut off his hands and kept them. Inside the base, a group of Trollans were performing a summoning ritual which the players interrupted and slaughtered them. None of the players had any clue as to what the setting was until they left the base and came to Castle Greyskull. The sorceress (who is now, Teela) allowed them to enter her Castle and the players threatened to murder her, of course. She informed them of a prophecy that said the world would be restored by them. She claimed that each one would do something but I don’t remember what any of those prophetic words actually were anymore. In the end, she offered to give them power if they would serve her and everyone promptly refused except for Rich who decided to become the apprentice of the sorceress.
Players were lukewarm to the idea of being in the He-man universe at first, but I assured them that I wouldn’t just focus on that and that their characters mattered more to me and they were pretty cool after that. Well, as cool as some of them could be.
To be continued . . .

Jared and Tim tried to play it like Jared was the butch of the two and Tim was the bitch. What was actually going on, though, was that Tim's character had saved Jared's life at some point and the two decided to be assassins together, but Jared's character would always defer to Tim's silent wisdom.
Yet another example of "role-playing" as they thought of it.

Also, who is more awesome than Skeletor? No one! Frank Langella as Skeletor was perfect from the live action film. Seriously, go back and rewatch it. Not the original cartoon, because it's trash. The Cartoon Network reboot is pretty sweet though and definitely worth checking out.

Beastman controls animals
Merman is an underwater man
Ram-man headbutts things
Stratos can fly
Buzzoff is a beeman.
All of that stuff is basic and elementary, but that's because it's for kids, but imagining the possibilities for this universe if it was allowed to grow up is where its at. Also, when you view all of the characters as analogues for Jack Kirby's Fourth World (New Gods, Darkseid and all that) it works on an all new level. There's some sweet stuff to be found in the Masters of the Universe World. I'll post more from my games when I have time to write more.

: Patrick June 08, 2010, 09:37:52 PM
I’ve noticed an abiding commitment to failure on the part of Skeletor and his minions. Skeletor is the worst sort of person you can work for because he is simply unwilling to take personal responsibility for any sort of failure. Skeletor, in short, will always leave you hanging out to dry!
Even if, by some miracle, Beastman, Evilyn, Trap-Jaw, Cyclops, Man-E-Faces and the rest of Skeletor’s employees were able to defeat He-Man, Skeletor just wouldn’t be able to accept success as an outcome.
For example:
Beastman: **proudly** We did it boss! -snort snort- We beat He-Man, we destroyed castle Greyskull and we killed that stupid bitch, the sorceress…
Skeletor: No! **strikes Beastman viciously with his staff** This is a trick. He-Man must have put you up to this! No!
Trap-Jaw: **earnestly** But, but boss we did it. Seriously, we destroyed Eternia!
Skeletor: **indignant** No! Shut your gob! **laughs angrily** Simpletons, there is no possible way, no conceivable way you could have defeated He-Man! It just isn’t possible!
Evilyn: **hesitatingly, unable to make eye contact with Skeletor** Skeletor, my love, you have to believe us! You’ve sold us down the river countless times. You have abandoned us in defeat over and over again. You have taught us to be strong; we used that strength to defeat your nemesis, He-Man!! **looks up at Skeletor, on his throne, with love in her eyes**
Skeletor: **scornfully** Shut your pie-hole bitch! **laughs mockingly** You bunch of incompetents could not have possibly defeated He-Man. This is a trick! I simply refuse to believe that I’ve won! He-Man HAS to be alive… I love him… sexually. **A single tear runs down Skeletor's bony cheek**
I’ve seen this sort of commitment to failure in a cartoon series before. Sadly the antagonists of Voltron, The Transformers, M.A.S.K., The Inhumanoids, G.I. Joe, Thundercats, etc. etc. come to mind. It isn't so much that Good vanquishes Evil as it is Evil's complete failure to launch.
In short, I believe Skeletor to be the Oakland Raiders of He-Man fanboydom…
That’s not to say I wouldn’t enjoy listening to Ross plod his way through Cody’s game. I would also, definitely enjoy Tom geeking out with Cody about the particulars and minutia of the He-Man universe (because I believe that Tom is secretly a fan). I definitely think that Aaron should be involved in this project, well, because I would love to hear Cody fuck with Aaron’s Boy Scout sensibilities…
As for this post, before Cody and his lobster cultist tear me a new asshole, I just want to end my rant by saying “Frog-snatch, Cum-shitters. Bee-rape…”

Even when you're He-Man there are times when you just dont want to deal with people's shit. Plus YOURE always the target, even if you're invincible that shit would get old.
So you turn back into the guy who nobody gives a shit about, the bad guys dont care enough to attack you, and the good guys think you're pathetic and weak and won't constantly come bitching to you with their problems.
I mean sure, you can't pull in the pussy quite like He-Man could, but you're still a prince and thats gotta count for something, and you dont have to always worry about whether its Evillyn (or worse) in disguise and you get woken up by a magic sword hacking at your he-men.

Ross keeps saying the same thing, that he's not interested in a He-Man game, and all of us keep talking about Ross playing in a He-Man game.
: rayner23 June 10, 2010, 12:38:01 PM
After our first game went relatively well, and after Rich had moved away, I convinced my girlfriend at the time (my wife now) to play with us. Also, my friend Chris was debating about gaming with us, so I decided to run a one shot for people to experiment with a different class and also so our two new players could get adjusted with how to play the game.
I honestly don’t remember any of the characters, but I remember the setting relatively well. A group of travelers have been on the run from Empress Lyn’s army when they discovered what appeared to be an abandoned mansion. They entered to find seven rooms in a massive hallway. This was a very basic encounter where players did some minor battling with easily killable monsters to give the newbies a feel for combat. There was one room that featured the diamond ray of disappearance (the mcguffin from the most famous He-man episode of all time) but alas, none of the players discovered the diamond.
Eventually, a monsterous creature battled the players and they were horrified to find that this Frankenstein-esque monster kept changing faces and it was nearly invincible. I had reimagined Man-E-Faces as a creature that was more or less a suit that possessed whoever wore it and drank the life force out of them until it was ready for a new shell. Sort of like a soul sucking hermit crab.
They killed the creature by luring it into some trap and then they entered a laboratory to find a mad doctor performing arcane rituals. I don’t remember how the scenario ended, but I know that none of the players were left alive and I teased giant tubes that seemed to contain some kind of creatures. Who knows what was going on? The players had a rough idea, but they wouldn’t know the full story for at least six months.

I'm not disputing the hotness of Julia Roberts in the film, because she is definitely hot in it, but isn't it strange how she is more hot when she looks more like a man.

Now the Astral Sea is all that's left and if you go far enough below the Astral Horizon you'll encounter the dark stuff that ate the other planes. In places the stuff is under enough pressure (think artesian wells of cosmic anathema) to spring up into the Astral Sea at "sea level" and effect divine domains and individual ships.
I was lookin' for some reflections from a dude he's done a popular culture inspired game before, and any thoughts from my cultist homies.
: rayner23 June 17, 2010, 08:12:28 PM
1) Don't get so wrapped up in the universe that you don't care about the players. If you have some cool ideas for a universe, make sure you use those ideas in ways that are relevant to players.
2) If players don't get it, don't get upset. Going into the He-Man game, I thought, "no one will get any of the references I make, but that's okay." They didn't get many of them, but when they did, it added to the excitement. Players found a maguffin and I described in detail, but I never outright told them what it was. Eventually, they activated said maguffin and someone said, "wait, this is the cosmic key from the live action movie!" and it was a cool moment had by all.
Tad, as I said, I know you know these things, but they are the best advice I can give.
That being said, your campaign sounds really cool and a nice twist on the PoDW world. Have a blast and let us know what happens.

Okay, better idea: round up everybody who's ever been on Survivor, then release them into a natural containment of some sort, a deep river valley or something, and give them a week to sort themselves out. Then you release Survivor Man and Man-Vs-Wild into the valley with the mission to capture the most Survivors.

Locke is anakin's father?
No, Locke is his teacher. If we follow the parrallel through to the end than Locke has to fight Anakin after the swordmage freaks out of something stupid and nearly kill them. But Anakin comes back with magically parts (I'm thinking along the lines of somebody killing Watcher then magically attaching the warforged's arms and legs onto Anakin) and ultimately kills Locke but in so doing Locke becomes eternal (as a ghost).
Horrifyingly enough that scenario would largely fulfill the requirements of an Epic Destiny (gaining immortality).

Oh, and I came up with a SICK idea for a Call of Cthulhu campaign. Everybody plays cultists of Coddowalshogoth, with the game run by Cody. The amount of crazy hijinks that would ensue (especially backstabbing/power-grabbing) would be phenomenal. I could totally imagine playing an Excel Excel-esque character that dearly loves The Cathartic Lobster and does anything to grab its attention, but is constantly rebuked by it and sent through a trap door into the ocean below.
I mean, the actual scenarios could be based on the most tenuously-relevant concepts imaginable: liberating lobsters from the seafood department at the local grocery store, for instance. It's really about BEING a cultist of the Cathartic Lobster and BEING WITH other cultists.

The sorceress teleported the players from Greyskull. A warmage joined the party (played by my friend, Chris) and they proceeded to explore the ruins of an old town. Some of the details of the session have been lost to time, but eventually, they found a bard (played by my wife), whom they decided to threaten to kill . . . a lot.
Sam followed them around because she was compelled to observe their actions.
Leaving the village, the party was attacked by a giant tiger and a group of smaller tigers. It was a vicious battle, but the team was successful in killing a feral, insane battlecat.
Again, much of the details have been forgotten over the years, but I recall that they met a hermit in the woods and the party of course decided to kill him. Jessica was the first to him and was about to slit his throat when he told her that he knew all about her life (she had amnesia and wanted to know about her past . . . remember?) and he said that if she let him live, then he would tell her everything in the future.
Back in those days, I used to take players into another room when I had information that was only for them. I did this to add some mystery to the game, but also because players were the worst about PC hiveminds, and I didn’t want them to know everything. Despite the fact that everyone was watching her, she made a bluff check and made it appear as if he got away from her.
In another private room conversation, Kahloon received a vision. Kahloon had never known his father, but through his vision, he saw a young Eternian prince, named Keldor. Keldor had fallen in love with a commoner and they had a child together. Knowing that he couldn’t be with her, he left and news later reached her that he had died. Keldor’s brother was Randor, King of Eternia. With Randor dead, Prince Adam missing, and Keldor long dead, that meant that Kahloon was the rightful heir to the Eternian throne.
Kahloon kept this knowledge to himself because he wasn’t sure how his companions would react, so for a few games, he never told anyone that he was secretly planning to overthrow Empress Lyn.

Well, you could, you know. Kickstarter has worked well for Ross twice now and I am entirely certain that you would be able to gather funds from several people on the forums.
You only have two problems.
The first is, of course, ability to advertise. You can place notice here and on your own blog. You do not have the same public face (yet) that Role Playing Public Radio does, which limits your inward pull.
The other problem is returning value on investment. The club and cult support you because we enjoy your... well, it's simply refer to it as your 'work'. However, the vasty majority of your work is controlled by Ross Payton as the only individual with the access and ability to publish actual players including you. The sole exception, at present, is Popgun Chaos, which is not, as yet, an audio experience.
To be direct: Ross gives us APs, shiny buttons, and PDFs in exchange for our money. Our "donations" are a fee, given in good faith of returned of value. I first gave to RPPR for nothing in return apart from an ego boost at being the first donator and the sensual thrill of my internet pseudonym being spoken aloud on the show. Since then my expectation of return has increased as request for more investment as grown.
I'd donate to funding your adventure, sire. I simply require... recompense.

How?! Its not supposed to come out till tomorrow!
Sadly i don't care as much about this upcoming story, I'll still buy it because i support DC animated original movies. But i much rather they have made Batgirl Year One like they were planing, plus it's more likely with such a short series as basis, they'd be able to more accurately portray it.. It doesn't help that i'm not a superman fan. The only superman story i'd be really interested in seeing is Red Son.
However that all being said, because i have not rad all star superman, i can't be let down by any exclusions of particular events.
Also just finished gaiden today, good stuff. I look forward to your dark sun, and of course the eventual return of locke...though sadly he probably won't be as fun as he used to.

Well come on now Kevin Conroy is like the best voice you could ever have for Batman, besides that show was like the perfect alignment of the planets, EPIC. When I worked at Blockbuster I used to have to put fan debates down about Nicholson vs. Ledger.

As for Batman and Johnny Quick, it was a definite gamble, but he had no way of truly knowing one would die.
Also....Batman has killed in the golden age, which was retconned, and tried to kill in the modern age, only prevented by the Reaper in year 2. He held no qualms when he held the same gun that murdered his parent up to Joe Chill and you could tell he was going to kill him if The Reaper had not beat him to the punch.
Another instance of Batman "killing" would be when he forcibly took superman away from the fight with Darkseid in the season 2 opener of Justice League season 2. Leaving Darkseid there on brainiacs exploding asteroid station and even commenting that no one could survive that.
As far as the voice thing goes, Yes Conroy will always be the best, but I like most of the voice actors that played him. They each bring something different and none of them has truly ever been terrible. Like in Brave and the Bold Bader is great, just like Harmon was great in Under the Red Hood.

Inaction is most definitely as bad as a willful act of murder. By saying that batman won't kill, but he doesn't ahve to save someone, that implies that he isn't morally culpable for their death. If he has the capability to save a life, then he is morally obligated to do so. If he can find another way to save the world without letting someone die, then he MUST do so because that is what heroes do. Heroes don't give up on even the most evil person because to do so would lower himself.

Sounds like fun. What Soul Level are you? Would you rather play with our current, or start out new characters?
If we do start out new characters, are you going to be playing a mage-class, or a warrior-class? (Mage build is best build, but I only have warrior class characters atm).

So soldiers are incapable of being heroes? They use lethal force as a rule.
After all, how heroic is it to give a Joker, Owlman or Lex Luthor a chance if they threaten countless lives with their actions?
What if saving the villain make it harder to stop them?
Say stopping a supervillain from committing genocide and using lethal force has a 50% chance of success while only using nonlethal force has a 25% chance of success. Is it heroic to use nonlethal force under those circumstances?
I think heroism is a broader concept than that very specific and narrow ideal. Certainly heroes in the real world don't use that definition.
After all, the current 'code of superheroes' is a product of the comics code and narrative necessity - killing off supervillains as the rule not the exception would cause a lot of problems - we wouldn't have iconic villains like the Joker or Lex Luthor because Superman would eyeball lazer them sooner or later.

like a man loves a dog...
then gets arrested after a disgusted neighbor called the police.
Inaction is most definitely as bad as a willful act of murder. By saying that batman won't kill, but he doesn't ahve to save someone, that implies that he isn't morally culpable for their death. If he has the capability to save a life, then he is morally obligated to do so. If he can find another way to save the world without letting someone die, then he MUST do so because that is what heroes do. Heroes don't give up on even the most evil person because to do so would lower himself.
BTW
love you too, baby.
So soldiers are incapable of being heroes? They use lethal force as a rule.
After all, how heroic is it to give a Joker, Owlman or Lex Luthor a chance if they threaten countless lives with their actions?
What if saving the villain make it harder to stop them?
Say stopping a supervillain from committing genocide and using lethal force has a 50% chance of success while only using nonlethal force has a 25% chance of success. Is it heroic to use nonlethal force under those circumstances?
I think heroism is a broader concept than that very specific and narrow ideal. Certainly heroes in the real world don't use that definition.
After all, the current 'code of superheroes' is a product of the comics code and narrative necessity - killing off supervillains as the rule not the exception would cause a lot of problems - we wouldn't have iconic villains like the Joker or Lex Luthor because Superman would eyeball lazer them sooner or later.
Of course soldiers are heroes, and no, heroes in the real world don't use that definition, but when a character like Batman has been established as someone with a strict moral code where he doesn't kill, then he shouldn't kill.
Yeah, I know that in his first appearance he shot some crooks, but in the current incarnation, it has been established that Batman doesn't murder.
Example - Look at Identity Crisis, in that book, Alexander Luthor has messed with reality itself, caused the deaths of hundreds of people and Batman has a gun to his head ready to pull the trigger, but he doesn't because Wonder Woman stops him and tells him it's not worth it.
Should he have pulled the trigger? Well in the real world, yes he should have. But we're not dealing with the real world, now are we? We are dealing with an idealized world of superheroes and as such, they should act ideally and that means that all villains can be redeemed (except dark, evil gods like Darkseid that are the pure embodiment of death) and that heroes have to be ever hopeful that people can turn around and become good.
Even in Frank Miller's "Dark Knight Returns" Batman snaps the Joker's neck leaving him paralyzed, but not murdering him. I think this might be too far for Batman, but that was the point of the comic. He still isn't willing to go so far as to kill a murderer because that would make himself a murderer. After all, who is he to decide the fate of a man's life? He might bring people in because they have committed a crime, but he has no right to take a life.
Again, of course in the real world soldiers are heroes and in the heart of battle, they have to kill and no one can begrudge someone of doing that. Superheroes don't operate on the same rules because they are fiction and are held to a different standard.
Arguing that Batman should kill because it is "realistic" or somehow moral is like saying that Batman should age because he's getting older and real people get older. These characters are idealized fiction - they aren't supposed to reflect upon what is, but on what should be.

Batman's path is one type of heroic conduct and it's a complex path. I think his actions re: Owlman and Johnny Quick are consistent with his code. After all, Batman is a world class martial artist. His hand to hand attacks have the potential to kill by mistake. One opponent with a hidden injury or illness or pre-existing condition could easily die from being punched in the solar plexus etc. He routinely puts the lives of his opponents at risk and it's only dramatic convenience that he doesn't cause collateral damage.
: Flawless P September 29, 2010, 06:53:50 PM
Oh and also one of the more convient tropes of comics is that "Master" martial artists are so good they never risk killing anyone because their body control is so complete that they always know how much pressure they are putting and how much force they are using.
(The above opinion is just somthing I have mused about and is based no way on fact. Nor should it be applied to a realistic world, by all means it is ludacris, and very plot devicey)
: rayner23 September 29, 2010, 07:00:33 PM
But Cody, you defend Batman killing Darkseid in Final Crisis!
Of course and do I so for two reasons:
1) Darkseid is a god of death that is a pure force of evil. He has absolutely zero redeeming qualities because he is the god of evil itself. There is no redemption for him. Batman knew this and knew that he had absolutely no other choice but to shoot Darkseid. Technically, I was wrong about Batman killing him too because his goal was to merely poison Darkseid using the God Bullet. Batman wasn't going for a kill shot and that was my misinterpretation.
2) Batman using a gun at the end of his life was perfect because it brings his birth and "death" full circle symbolically.
I generalized my previous post about heroic actions because I assumed that everyone was going to use the same operational definitions of what superheroes do and not the overall idea of "hero." I suppose I should further specify that I mean human beings and not the sandwich "hero" although too many of those could lead to death as well.
: iceemaker September 29, 2010, 08:02:19 PM
On one hand, it's kind of silly to apply real-life expectations to comics. They are so larger-than-life that attempting to analyze comics outside their context seems quite fruitless.
On the other hand, if you cannot apply our standards to comics, what is the point of them, outside of escapist fantasy? Believe me, I love every aspect of nerd culture, including - though I have yet to participate in any meaningful way - comics. There is no doubt in my mind that all facets of nerdery can ignite our imaginations, give us hope and even comfort, and create bonds that transcend all boundaries.
But how can we hope to analyze comics in an academic manner? Video games? RPGs? The sheer relativety of experience for participants and occassional over-commercialization seem to be huge hurdles to me.
Or maybe I'm over-analyzing this. I have no idea what is going on.

Pop culture analysis has been going on for quite some time now. There's nothing wrong with personal experience to shape academia. In fact, that's how academia works; my personal interpretation of a work based upon research shapes pop culture discourse.
Also, over commercialization isn't a factor either because if it were, then film studies wouldn't exist.
In my opinion, if something exists, then it can be analyzed because what is analysis but answering the questions: how did this thing come to be? What is it's relation to other things? Why is it significant?
In fact, I believe that there should be a full-fledged curriculum over the study of comics, video games, and RPGs and I shall call it; nerdagogy.

I would say a "hero" is just a man or woman who makes decisions in the interest of virtues and other things people consider 'good' - love, justice, honor, etc. Villains make decisions out of vice - selfishness being the most popular. "Super" heroes or villains are called such because they can affect huge changes with their decisions, but the types of decisions aren't all that different from their mundane counterparts.
In that sense, I think guys like Lincoln or Ghandi would be Super Heroes and guys like Hitler would be Super Villains, even if they don't wear tights. They aren't called such because "superheroes" refers to a genre nowadays. The word itself doesn't mean what it says.
Analyzing human-like superheroes is viable for the same reasons that people can and should analyze characters out of Shakespeare. People can learn a lot about the human condition by studying fictional characters, because those characters typically reflect the natures of real people.
I personally think a Code with Exceptions, be they one man's code or an entire nation's code, is not desirable but also a necessity. Even in things built on absolutes, like Mathematics, you have to account for edge cases. It's just a question of (1) how many edge cases you have, and (2) can you defend them logically. If you can, then it's okay to have them.
So I have no problem with a Batman or Superman that doesn't kill unless he has to. It's a human thing to do, and there's plenty of drama to be had by testing the limits of what such men are willing to do in (often contrived) circumstances. It makes me think of whether I would do the same thing or not. And I usually come out of the thought process knowing more about myself. Which is good!
Tangentially related: my favorite depiction of what a "real world" of superheroes would be like is the Rising Stars series. Good stuff.

My initial problem with RJ was that he and I served essentially the same function within the group - pop culturally conscious funny guys who make references to things. We both wanted to be the center of attention and we both felt as if there is only room for one star of the show, so there was animosity.
Then, we fell in love and realized that the show would be much more beautiful if it was the Cody and RJ show (or the RJ and Cody show - we don't really care who is on the marquee first because we are equals).
It takes me awhile to get people sometimes and eventually, I "got" RJ and all was well.

Oh man that movie was horrible. HOOORRRIBLE.
You know I also heard Glenn Danzig has a D&D habit.
I wouldn't be surprised if half of all metal bands play D&D
I think its closer to 90% of them did, just look at the cover art, clearly most were fantasy based. you cant tell me one of the guys on the bus didnt own a dnd set of books and they did not play on the road for hours on end.

What's your take on them, as of now?
: rayner23 December 11, 2010, 12:53:06 AM
Did you see that they are coming out with an X-men anime called "Wolverine"? Figured you probably already know, but it's scheduled for the winter season. I hear that there were a total of 4 seasons of Marvel anime planned to be published.
What's your take on them, as of now?
I thought Wolverine looked a little weird to me, but I love the Iron Man anime! Let's face it, of all Marvel characters, Iron Man is best suited for an anime treatment.
: joecrak December 11, 2010, 11:59:16 AM
I don't know if it will ever air over here, or be released on dvd, but the Black Panther show was pretty good. Granted i hate the fact the animation is pretty much motion comic, but the story and acting is great.

Still, it might be a little unfair to say that the movie is completely uncreative in terms of how they use the ring considering the most we've seen is a two minute trailer. I still have faith this movie will be good. I'm too much of a GL fan to not hold on to that belief.

I know Cody's gonna disown me for saying this, but has anyone ever wondered why they're called Masters of the Universe when they never leave Eternia?
Shouldn't they be called "Masters of Eternia"?
Not True, Some of them have been to Earth, and He-Man has obviously been to Etheria.
And I agree Cody, the She-Ra one is alot cooler looking to me too. Probably there's more to work with in her design alone., Though Skeletor looks freaking amazing. I'm glad to see your so excited.

I know this is early but we're coming up fast on Feburary and I think we all know what that means! So, now is the time to begin the planning stages for our adventures.
I personally vow to run a Skype version of the game I ran last year, updated from its alpha test, in celebration and open to anybody on RPPR who wants to play a Delta Green game.
Well i've yet to play any form of Call of Cthulhu (though my first ever game is coming up so fingers crossed it will be creepy fun) And i've also never used skype, but from all the talk about it i want to try, just to increase my amount of gaming. How does it even work? The last online gaming system i used was openrpg, and text isnt as much fun as hearing inflection, though nothing beats to actually sitting at a table. Aside from the skype program what else does one need? I'm assuming a headset?

The event begins at 12:01am on Feburary 1st and ends 11:59pm on Feburary 8th.
This is the time of year to spread the word of the lobster and its kin, among which we count many additions. Dash Guster, Ricky Sterling, the Dark Sun character I can't remember the name of, BA Baracus, and a host of others have joined the hive within the last twelve months, each of whom is reason to rejoice.
Once again, I will host a competition to favor the lobster god. The rules have not changed and as follows:
0 ) All RPPR listeners are eligable for the contest. Specific exceptions to this are noted below.
1 ) You need to do more than just drop a name. You should use a theme which is connected with Coddowalshagoth or one of his avatars and have them be part of the plot.
2 ) You are allowed to create new avatars if one of the existing ones doesn't work. You are also allowed to use other names for existing individuals in the 'pantheon' if the names don't mesh with your setting.
3 ) The event needs to be time stamped (figurativly speaking) between February 1st and February 8th of the year 2011. If it's a game it should be run that week, if it's a piece of art or writing then it should be done within the time frame.
4 ) Submissions are due in on February 15th, though they should be completed by February 8th. They will be made publically available for consideration on that day. In the case of session recordings you may send in a sample rather than the entire recording, if file size is an issue.
5 ) Submissions are counted as "in" when they have been either sent to my e-mail, which can be found in my profile here on the forums, or when they have been made publically available. Public availability through the forums is acceptable as is posting on an external section of the web to which everyone has access and providing a link.
6 ) The final winner will be selected my popular vote on the criteria of most entertaining and most fitting the themes of the Cathardic Lobster. Voting will close on Feburary 22nd, one week after all submissions are due.
7 ) The Grand Prize, which is also the only prize, will be a horror game core book or suppliment of their choice. Delievery of the prize will be arranged between myself and the winner. Speaking of which, Maze, sorry you haven't gotten your book from last time yet. I am extremely lazy and short to anger with online shippinh programs.
8 ) Tadanori Oyama, as the founder of the contest, is not eligable for 1st place in this event.
9 ) Cody Walker, as an avatar of Coddowalshagoth, is considered eligable for this event. However, he is not allowed to be his own entry, by which I mean Cody can not simply take a picture of himself and submit that since, technically, he already existed before February 1st, 2011.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Yes I watch some musicals do you have a problem with that?
Also the reason that every Ben Franklin quote I read comes out in my head in Howard da Silva's voice.

Whilst listening to The Wild Talents: Heroes of New Arcadia AP I realized how much I missed him.
It warms my heart that he hums the Metal Gear solid tune in any game plays which sneaking is involved.
I was also surprised he had the same "mgs-alert" tune as me on his phone.
Basically, I want more Cody!!
Tom is also awesome.

Also, I turned in my first draft of a book about Grant Morrison's Batman a few weeks ago and I'm editing a collection of essays about Marvel's Ultimate Universe.
And my wife and I are expecting our first son in December. We pushed for naming him Gizmo Duck, but I guess we're going with Duncan.

Or Duncan-Hines
It's weird but every person over 40 that we've told the name Duncan too responds, "Oh, like the doughnut?"
Yeah, my kid's name is going to be Dunkin.
UGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, Duncan is my mother-in-law's maiden name, but I like to say it's because of Michael Clarke Duncan.

Are we doing the scenatio creation contest this year?

You know some weird over 40 people.
I think that summarizes my grandparents pretty succinctly.

I am a cross country coach at our school despite having never run for an extended period of time.

We have a week left on our kickstarter. I feel like a shitheel coming on here and asking for help considering that I'm not around anymore, but if I had more time, I'd be more around.
I really do miss you all as well. I was listening to the League of Extraordinary Gentleman 80's edition the other day and I thought "Jesus, we really were a bunch of dicks to Ross." I felt really guilty afterward.
Anyway, here's the kickstarter again if you want to help.
