Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: I love Thad like hedonism senator loves orgies!

« on: April 20, 2012, 05:36:31 PM »

God damn.

After listening to Thad's Sergeant Durant, I feel like a tiny roleplaying babby from what I remember of playing the same character at my GenCon session. Quite possibly the highest number of consecutive quotable/memorable lines of any PC in any RPPR actual play to date. Well done, sir.

Disclaimer: I haven't listened to all of Cthulhu Invictus so this means I don't know the full glory of Hedonism Senator.

Aw man, that's unfortunate news.

I like the idea of the kickstarter, though, and I wanted to ask: do you have plans to release Dangers of Fraternization in any form?

League of Legends. It's been my standby for months. In between that recently: mass effect 3 (done), skyrim, dungeons of dredmor, deus ex: HR (done). Pretty sure I will never beat an Elder Scrolls game because I just do side quests and forget what the main quest even is. Although to be fair, slaying dragons is a pretty damned compelling main story this time around.

Hear, hear!

I think one of the bigger turning points for him as a player was that professor in Bryson Springs. He was so belligerent and headstrong, but it made the game better because he continually drove the game forward by being stubborn and following the idea of a pompous intellectual who just wanted to get out of that damn shanty town full of backwater hicks. And he ended up setting one of the inhumanly strong puppets on fire!

I will also never forget his pot dealer that ran away from the prostitute in Andrew's Fortune. The scene was just so Aaron. He loses his willpower incredibly fast, but instead of going along with it, he beats the system by FLEEING. It was a very "wtf" moment but also amazing in many good ways. It was unintentional comedic brilliance.

The Bryson Springs isn't an aftermath. I'm just running the scenario to promote the kickstarter. The Fall Without Ending and The Red Tower are in the same vein though. Both have new monsters and are set in the 1930's.

I'll probably try to record my games this year if the equipment isn't being used during my slot. I hope to see everyone there.

Right on. I'm definitely looking to get into one of the non-Bryson games.

Hope you don't get a clueless shaman for LoN this time Aaron! Everyone else: definitely sign up for Aaron's Legacy of NIMH game if you're thinking about it because it is amazing.

Caleb: just to be totally clear, is your Bryson Springs an 'aftermath' scenario based on the AP you ran for RPPR?

Snagged a room at Embassy Suites. Gonna be expensive unless we get at least two more people to pile into the room with us but I'm not too worried about it. Can't be afraid to spend a little money on a vacation.

General Chaos / GenCon 2011 Shoutouts

« on: August 08, 2011, 02:46:28 PM »

I guess I'ma spearhead this one and get it out of the way. GenCon 2011 was awesome and was made even better by hanging with the RPPR crew. SHOUTOUT TIME.

Caleb: Great Dirty World game. I'm glad I bought the book and want to run a noir game for my friends back home soon. I don't feel like I had my head 100% in the scenario, partly because of my lack of familiarity with the setting, it being early, and not having fully read my 'known persons' section on the sheet before it began. Overall I had a lot of fun! I can't say how refreshing it is to have a GM that is willing to split up groups and do frequent scene cuts. Most would avoid it, and I think that much of the time, dividing up spotlight time makes for a more interesting game.

Aaron: dude, you ran a kickass NIHM game. I set aside my expectations beforehand and ended up getting really into it by 20 minutes. The way you acted out the spirits was excellent. Too bad the shaman player didn't bother to read his character sheet much! Ditto with what I said to Caleb about willingness to split the group up and do scenes.

Ross: the Thursday night game was amazingly fun. I think you outdid last year's improvised game, because the energy was much higher (as was the amount of booze). Truly a shame we didn't get to record it.

Ean&Violet: congrats on making new contacts and sealing the deal on some artist gigs. Violet: way to make mythos horrors look cute. Lovecraft might be rolling over in his grave but I don't care because your byakhees are the best thing.

Everyone else: Tom, Shallazar, ristarr, Tad, David... pretty sure that's it; Good meeting those I hadn't already, and nice seeing those I had last year again.
