Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: Candlewick AP

But since we're on the subject of Candlewick, I really liked Ben's characters. As soon as the groundskeeper appeared, I was trying not laugh loudly at work.

I also think Ross was great in this one, lemmings to kill the mongeese that were killing the snakes!

Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: Monsters in the School?

i have not noticed this inside joke. perhaps i should pay attention more.

I have a funny feeling you will be scared listening to old shows with how many times it will now leap out at you.

My favourite use was in response to the World of Synibarr. Tom asked if there were monsters in the school, to which Ross replied there were monsters all over the fucking place or something similar.

I suspect most of those monsters are 2D, square, come at you in sequential order, and require a great many dice rolls to 'defeat'.

And are protected by werestorms.

It was just a remake of Cannibal: The Musical with bigger guns!

Eh, he got bored with it at the end because it kept dragging him off to wild parties all the time and making him dress up 'younger' and he could never get enough sleep for work the next day, so I think it's hinted at that he was all 'hey baby, I'm back' to his old mount at the end.

And three months late he discovered he had a disease of the ponytail he'd passed on to his old mount.

The actual site seems to be temporarily trashed - well, rppr at least, the actual play site seems fine! I guess the rss feed is still based through the old space?

Actually, there are a few understated character beats in Avatar. The business guys is one of them. He has the look that things have gone too far when the attack happens, but doens't have some disney change of heart, he just shuts up and lets it keep happening.

Whne everyone leaves, you see his expression wanting to say something, but he either knows he won't be forgiven, or can't bring himself to admit his mistake, and moves on.

Similarly, the main guy doens't explicitly say he's lost in his new body, but his lack of personal grooming and even the fact he has to be told to eat sort of show how he lives in his avatar and is letting go of thinking about his normal body.

Just watched it now. I think I was suitably warned and expected the whole Dances with Wolves and spiritual aspect. The visuals were good (especially CGI Sigorney cat creature) and it was quite enjoyable.

More importantly though, I thought of RPPR during it because 'Go! Go! Go!' count = 2

I know! I wonder if no-one heard Ross correctly... or didn't hear the Capitals When He Said It and thought it was just 'a tomb of horrors'.

I just had to sign up because the name dropping of the Tomb of Horrors - and the complete lack of reaction from the players - had me laughing out loud at work. Luckily no one was around!

I really liked Brighteyes the NPC from the thieves' guild episode, so was surprised to like Brian's portrayal of the character - but the voice and attitude were fun!


And yes, the character is such fun, so I think I will steal him aswell and use him as the 'innocent' alter-ego of an evil gnome wizard in a play-by-post game. Shh, dont' tell my players
