just every time you think it's getting too pedantic, jump around. it's a grand experience

oh man, the discussion of vaginal circumference, this poor guy feels compelled to make the obvious commentary and it's clear that he's so sad with himself for doing it

omg this guy arguing the logistics of halfling penis circumference

'If successful for a female character, the skin between the vagina and the anus rips and the two orifices effectively become one'

fatal is the best role-playing game that i have seen
fantasy adventure to adult lechery
fatal is the only game that lets you be obscene

(not related by any stretch of the vagina imagination to FATAL, just seemed like the right thread.

Btw discussion of FATAL and some other terrifying games (and some good ones) exists on SA. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3421366

I appreciate attractive redheads used to sell genre products to me, but honestly, let's have some quality control.

four months pass...

Man, I've wasted almost an entire workday typing random RGB terms into Scribd ('Dragonlance' 'Palladium' 'Car Wars' 'dungeons dragons' 'gurps' 'white dwarf' etc etc) and reading nostalgically through PDF scans of old manuals and adventures

The guys at Obsidian Entertainment are drinking and live-streaming their d&d session to advertise their kickstarter

the max in the high castle (kingfish), Tuesday, 16 October 2012 03:35 (thirteen years ago)

surprised obsidian studios needs a kickstarter to get a game made!

the late great, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 04:09 (thirteen years ago)

also find it hard to believe anyone would watch some random people play d&d over the internet, can't imagine a less boring thing to do

the late great, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 04:09 (thirteen years ago)

er more boring

the late great, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 04:10 (thirteen years ago)

maybe there was a sense in the industry that there wasn't an audience for an infinity engine rpg? this is kinda the perfect thing for kickstarter to be doing actually - projects w/ high chance of success that for whatever reason couldn't get funded in the traditional, industry way.

Mordy, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 04:13 (thirteen years ago)

also all dnd games sound the same no matter who is playing them. everyone has that hesitancy in their voice like "ok i'm going to bow to the princess and then cast magic missile i feel really self-conscious as an adult playing dungeons and dragons"

Mordy, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 04:15 (thirteen years ago)

one guy who talks with a "voice" and is really into it

Mordy, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 04:16 (thirteen years ago)

Apparently they wanted to do an Infinity Engine-type isometric epic like the games of yore and no publisher would fund it, and they figured that both Double Fine and the Wasteland 2 guys did it, so fuggit.

the max in the high castle (kingfish), Tuesday, 16 October 2012 05:29 (thirteen years ago)

here's their kickstarter:

last night of it, and they're less than $120K away from their max stretch goal at $3.5M

a friend of mine had a super high level set of adventures where you travel into hell (or whatever it was called) and meet all those crazy demons and devils that got renamed, anyone know what i'm talking about?

Have any of you guys been listening to Brian Posehn's D&D cast, "Nerd Poker"?

The New Jack Mormons! (kingfish), Wednesday, 23 January 2013 20:10 (thirteen years ago)

didn't know it existed, so no. Worth a try?

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 23 January 2013 20:16 (thirteen years ago)

Yup!

The New Jack Mormons! (kingfish), Wednesday, 23 January 2013 22:31 (thirteen years ago)

Downloaded the first episode after I asked. So far it's pretty fun.
