Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: The RPPR AP podcast site is now up

Seriously, it was cool to hear Bill GM and Ross play. Interesting shift in dynamics, especially with Bill having such command over the material. How much of the scenario was part of the DRYH backstory and how much of it was homebrew?

True story: I'm usually pretty terribad at getting motivated for game prep, so DRYH was largely off the cuff interpretation of the stuff in the book. In the second DRYH AP, I do some liberal stealing from Dark City and Neverwhere. Also, there's a tandem bicycle race IIRC.

I wish Bill would come back to the NWC games, I think Ross mentioned he comes back for the last few episodes or so. Also, he should definitely join the Dark Sun campaign.

My work schedule hates any attempts at a social life.

We're all still trying to atone for Sir Redgar Orphan's Bane.

Why am I not surprised that Matt would be the one to damn us all.

Also, to the earlier question: DRYH is circa May or June '09.

Well, like all women, Karee must be a Chaotic Evil thief, right?

Taco Nazi!
Sing and dance, oh, and-a bake a cake oh!

Your arms are broken!


Meanwhile, back in sanity land...

I remember that D&D game turning into 'subvert the one-shot's paradigm as hard as possible'.
Also, something involving charm animal and a hydra that wasn't going away otherwise.



...the Ducktales theme was so much better in Danish anyway....

Dan is from Matt's circle of friends. Bill I met through Dan. Jon and Katie (the santa claus game and the D&D best game ever video) are from that circle of people as well.

Not quite, but close.

Late Christmas Break '05-'06, Matt running Twilight 2000 as a modern-day one shot set in Iraq, Gabe and I played with you and someone(s) else, and then joined up for the last 4 or so sessions of the Iron Heroes campaign. Then a D&D one shot at Johnny's (& Nathan's) apartment during ICE STORM '07, then dropped off the world for a year or two.

Yeah, what happened with Bill

Work aggro + Mike disgust.
I'll pop up for a few late epic sessions, then disappear just in time for the last session, as Dan and I were trying to move out that week (we failed).

Finishing up the post-credits play on Metroid: Other M. Decent enough, not quite the old metroid, but an interesting take. Would play another to see if they could get more out of it.

Fallout 3 - main quest & Operation: Anchorage done, just into Point Lookout, thinking about clearing The Pitt or Zeta first, though.

Debating whether or not to try for Loremaster on my oldest character before Cataclysm drops for WoW.

About 2:13, guy that talks after Brock.

...At least he's in SPHINX, that's pretty cool, right?

bill?

Doing science, and still alive.
I was still working overnights at the current release points of the APs. I'm in some epic tier New World, and ran a two-parter Don't Rest Your Head game that should drop sometime slightly before the heat-death of the universe (Hi Ross).

Lately, been moving and working and trying to find a different job and finishing my parent's taxes (farm taxes are dumb), so I've missed out on the pre-GenCon festivities. However, picked up Dresden Files from http://mguinc.com/ today (yay small-but-very-popular print runs), and my copy of Dogs In The Vineyard arrived, so expect something worthwhile soon.

Question is he one of those guys who will always try to one your story?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!


Do those Charmin bears shit in the woods?
Does the pope wear a funny hat?
Does Cthulhu eat 1d6 investigators per round?

Mike is the master of one-upsmanship, provided the outside world has synchronized with his self-centered universe. Out here in reality, you can guarantee he will always try, but the result will usually result in one of the following: 1.) you begin to understand the undeniably massive sense of entitlement the man possesses, 2.) you bleach out your eyes, ears, tongue, and other sense organs, but still feel dirty, 3.) you lose 2d6 SAN, and are draw into a conversation about record-breaking ejaculations. None of these truly top your story, but after a while, just the fact that no matter what you say, he's got a response he considers superior begins to eat at your soul. You are Butters, and he is The Simpsons.

There's an ultimate bomb I'd really like to drop on this thread re: Mike (well, two in fact), but I'm pretty sure it'd piss Ross off to the high heavens, and I don't wanna be the first RPPR player banned from the forums.

Bill, you can thank me for this thread later; after you've fully comprehended the magnitude of love and respect that is being shown for you by many of the RPPR fans.

I know I'm not alone when I say that I look forward to your imminent return. The last few APs just haven't been the same without you...

Thanks so much, I bask in your love and respect now, and in the monetary donations when they arrive. When should that be, this week some time?

Seriously, though, I did/do concern myself with how the fans see my contributions to the RPPR machine. Mike is entertaining, in a way, but he's also an ass, and somewhat counter-productive to enjoyable sessions, and I was waiting for the day when people began to see that.
Thanks for padding my ego!

For the literal-minded readers, at this very moment I'm sitting in the hookah bar downtown with Dan and Jon Carter. 1.5 lb steak followed by citrus'n'cream tobacco = MELLOW BILL.

Bill did run a D&D game last summer that I played in and recorded. I'll get around to posting it eventually.

Not if you like me at all, you won't.
That game had the stink of unemployment and relationship heat-death all over it.


Meanwhile, back at the topic...

My words to Ross following the dinner party game (24, I think?) were that I didn't like caring about a game - an avocation - as much as playing with Mike was making me. The man is a textbook on applied logical fallacies. I realized that I was never getting anywhere near character motivations most nights because my mind was tossed off track every 7.3 seconds by hip-hop lyrics or 'Like a boss!' Then, when I tried to do something, I'd get shouted down, and any coherent criticism would just get steamrolled. Remember kids, no gaming is better than bad gaming, and the swirling vortex of Mike-suck was rolling right over the awesomesauce of Ross, Tom, Dan, and Cody.

Oh, and Zoidb-uh, er, Jason!

Then I started working overnights, and didn't want to have to leave the game in time to make it to work by 10.
However, I have left the vampire schedule behind, and am back in New World, and running another Don't Rest Your Head this weekend, and maybe getting aorund to some Dogs in the Vineyard whenever I get the ambition to write the author/publisher and get the copy I paid for in January
