Hey, I was just cruising around DriveThruRPG and discovered this little collection of books for 3rd Edition DnD that focused on various reigons on the world. One of them was a Caribbean book for pirates and I thought to myself "Hey, that book has a hot pirate chick on the cover, just like Andy mentioned in his letter. I wonder if it is the same book."
So, Ross, was this your pirate sourcebook: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=2323&it=1

no

Damn. I thought I was a genius investigator there for a minute.
By the way, somebody put your book up on DriveThruRPG, where the PDF can be purchased for half the price of the print books, for those gamers who prefer the slick, electronic interaction of an e-reader or screen to the analog contact of paper. Road Trip. (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=82567)
Does Ben know you put him on there as a tag? He might want plausible deniability when this thing hits the streets and people are knifing each other for copies at GenCon.
-
God I hope people kill each other for copies. That would be sweet.

If I can get two hobos to dress like gamers, preferably by beating up two coplayers and putting the hobos in their outfits (the worse fitting the better), and have a knife/broken bottle fighter over a copy of Road Trip at GenCon than this post might get you onto the Today show, Ross.

Only if they knife the purchase details into each other's stomachs so all the news bullitens act as adverts!

Too bad RPPR doesn't have an official knife with the logo on it. Maybe they'd be willing to try and stab each other with the buttons...
-
you can stab each other with the buttons
just try hard

I suppose it's a good weapon, really. You can attack with the pin and block with the button. Be a hell of a spot: semi-contact button battles. First to die loses. No physical contact between combatents except for the buttons.

Because I'm this bored and my ego took a major blow there on that first post, I continue.
I present another hot, female pirate, this time with the mentioned tiny dragon, I assume to replace a parrot. Also, someone appears to have stolen her pants.
Ross Payton, is this your sourcebook?: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=1451&it=1

yes

Inexorable proof of my moderate internet searching abilities!
-
Is now a bad time to mention I recall Ross saying he made the pirate adventures up completely, as at the time there were no pirate source books and rules in D&D to use?
-
So, did one of the players play her? Or was she the villain?

Neither, as far as I know. Andy just makes note of "the hot chick on the cover, who even had a little dragon. There where rules and words beyond this image but only Ross had the fortitude to proceed past and learn their wisdom", or something to that effect. Andy is prone to prose.
-
It was mostly facetious being amused by how the picture probably has little to nothing to do with the actual game (much like the previous book you found)...
-
Ah, interesting, I've missed/forgotten an Andy letter somewhere!

D'ya want me to make one? :)
Seriously, I could. Shapeways prints in steel. Would cost a ridiculous amount of money...

Well, you have to spend money to make money. Or rather, Ross would have to spend money to make money. What if I put Ross's finger prints on the knife? That's just as good as an RPPR logo, right?

It was read during an episode in place of Tom's letter. I don't remember which one.

Then you could stab people and pin it on Ross...
I don't know why you would want to, but you could...

To get him on the Today show. That was really my overall goal here. I suppose they wouldn't want to the actual murderer on the show. Unless Ross can claim he didn't do it and that he was framed.
Okay, so I'll put Ross's finger prints on the handle of the knife, but I'll put Tom's in the screw and springs for the assembly. That way it'll look like Tom planted Ross's finger prints and Ross'll talk to Matt Lauer about his crazy friend who used a hobofight to frame him. And then Ross can hold up his book while wearing an RPPR t-shirt.
Should Patrick's finger prints be inside instead? Patrick could probably beat the murder charge in court by corrupting the jury with his Hannibal-like charms. But Tom would do better in prison if legal matters failed.
This is more complex than I thought.

This is like that wife/misstress/friend thing, isn't it? Who would you murder, who would do the murder, and who would you frame?
