Well, these are D&D/TSR elves. They're more freaky and wear less clothes.

In the meantime, THE PAIN:

Mirrored Heart Dragonlance Slash. How can Dalamar tell Raistlin of the way he feels?

Tempest Set before the cataclysm. Raistlin is tempted by the Dark Queen

"You're not like the other magic-users..."

"My psionic powers are well-developed."

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 16:52 (nineteen years ago) link

And in the 'I am utterly baffled' category:

DRAGONLANCE SCIENCE THEATER 3000

Join Raistlin Majere, Dalamar "The Dark" Nightson, Caramon Majere, and the kender Tasslehoff Burrfoot as they face spam and badfic galore in their eternal struggle against Takhisis, the Dark Queen herself! For the newcomer, there's a handy Character Reference of all the main movers and shakers of the DST3K series.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 16:54 (nineteen years ago) link

haha Ned that shit is incredible!!

Raistlin pulled the sheet off the sheet-covered mound that had been
sitting on the bridge's main counter for a week and a half. It looked like a
VCR, but when Drizzt pushed the on button it opened up a CD carosel.
"This is the Device of Entertainment. We got tired of trying to program
the VCR and desired the video and sound quality of a DVD, so we made this. You
simply buy a supply of CD read/write disks and put them in the carosel. Then,
you tell the Device of Entertainment what show you want it to record. Like
Tasslehoff, who religiously watches the various anime programs on cable, the
Device automatically knows the channel and time slot of the program in question.
The Device makes a DVD-quality recording with no commercial interruptions. Not
only that, but it's a regular DVD player as well," Raistlin said as Tasslehoff
snatched up the Device and installed it in the SOF's entertainment center.
"Now I can watch those Monty Python's Flying Circus DVD's..." Drizzt said
thoughtfully.

YUFFIE'S CHOCOBO??????????????

Holy shit.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:00 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm just surprised I hadn't heard about it already through the MST3K channels!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:01 (nineteen years ago) link

I do like the anime Raistlin.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:02 (nineteen years ago) link

Ned, have you never played Final Fantasy VII? Do you not feel the creeping horror inherent in a story about a teenaged girl having sex with a giant half-chicken/half-ostritch?

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:03 (nineteen years ago) link

HO LEEEEEEE SHIIIIIIIIT

It shivered as Cid's shaft tore into it's rectum.
Caramon: That Shaft is one big mutha--
Tasslehoff: Shut yo' mouth!
Caramon: I'm only talkin' bout Shaft.
Tasslehoff: We can dig it.
Dalamar: Gods, I never thought I'd see THAT joke...

nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Okay, we are so NOT the champion mentalists of the internet.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Dalamar arrived on the SOF thanks to Raistlin's gate spell. He is currently dating his former master, and is studiously taking advantage of all that the SOF's advanced technology has to offer. Dal is a yaoi fan who also has a tendency to sing pop music lyrics when the opportunity strikes.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:03 (nineteen years ago) link

OH MY GOD Cid is in it?????

You have ruined 1997 for me.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Ned, have you never played Final Fantasy VII? Do you not feel the creeping horror inherent in a story about a teenaged girl having sex with a giant half-chicken/half-ostritch?

Actually, I haven't played it, no, but now you've given me a new sense of the permutations.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Other things I am suddenly remembering:

1. "ice-pirates" at the Icewall
2. the monster in the whirlpool in the Eastern sea that some old fisherman tries to catch in one of the short-story collections
3. hot chick alert: Alhana Starbreeze
4. Raistlin's gully-dwarf lovepet
5. "Solamnic" knights (bad naming all over this stuff)
6. Verminaard (ditto)
7. the one gnome who wants to study the Dragon Orb

What's up with this Fanlisting?
This is a listing of fans from around the world for the Dragonlance character, Tanis Half-elven, the half elf who doesn't quite fit into either the elven or human worlds..and ends up saving them both...

Tasslehoff arrived on the SOF due to an accident in which he tagged along with Caramon during Raistlin's gate spell. He was staying with Caramon and Tika at the Inn of the Last Home, awaiting the birth of their first child. Tasslehoff is a definate hentai, with a love of video games and other devices involving flashing lights, sound, and with an average attention span limit of thirty seconds.

And the picture is spot on.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh Nabisco, that page quote is so cruel(ly accurate).

5. "Solamnic" knights (bad naming all over this stuff)

I think it was Terry Pratchett who implicitly noted that the big problem with so much post-Tolkien fantasy is that unlike Tolkien, there are very few trained linguists involved and the names have very little internal logic, just an aiming for sound that 'works.' And so, to paraphrase him, you have Dwarf names like Gladgust Thunderpot.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Does this person know the definition of hentai??? Ew, no monstrous kendercock plz.

Ew, no monstrous kendercock plz.

*arched eyebrow*

I would like you on
A long black leash
I would parade you
Down the high street
You've got the attraction
You've got the pulling power
Walk my little doggy
Walk my little sex dwarf
(Here, doggy, doggy)
We could make a scene
We'd be a team
Making the headlines
Sounds like a dream
When we hit the floor
You just watch them move aside
We will take them
For a ride of rides
They all love your
Miniature ways
You know what they say
About small boys

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:13 (nineteen years ago) link

My girlfriend has those recipes. Yeah, we made the potatoes, in the process going farther than EVEN NED.

Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Sir, I salute you. That is insanity beyond recall.

(Er, so were they any good?)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:14 (nineteen years ago) link

You can make the recipes? Where do you get vallenwood oil in this country?

nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:17 (nineteen years ago) link

"We made the potatoes" is the greatest euphemism ever.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:17 (nineteen years ago) link

"In a pinch, usest thou the liquid from the oil of the coconut."

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:18 (nineteen years ago) link

You know, that really wasn't an x-post.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I do now have a vision of Iron Chef Krynn in my head, Dalamar introduce Iron Chefs Caramon, Raistlin and Crysania. Of course, Tas Burrfoot is the Ohta role.

"KITIARA-SAN!"

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:19 (nineteen years ago) link

The potatoes were as good as any salty, peppery, oiled, Dragonlance-free oven-roasted potatoes that I've made.

("potatoes")

PHWAOR BRING ON THE TENTACLES

Battle Potato, Otik vs. Raistlin

"And Otik is about to put on the finishing touches..."

"KITIARA-SAN!"

"Go, Tas!"

"Raistlin has said he's about to unleash a demon to destroy Otik! How fun!"

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:31 (nineteen years ago) link

haha clearly nick is wrong, above.

g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:42 (nineteen years ago) link

To be fair, Nick's post was like waving a heraldic standard in front of a ettercap.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 9 August 2004 18:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Huzzah.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 18:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Um, FWIW, I totally made some kind of stew from the cookbook. In LA I'll tell anybody who'll listen the story of Naked Ward1e dressed as Riverwind tying a cow's heart to the end of a broom and hitting bullies with it.

There was at least one novel devoted to the story of each character's travels in the seven years before the first trilogy. I remember reading the Riverwind one and thinking it was cool as shit; there were lots of the underground Draconians that he beat to tar with a big stick, no?

x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Riverwind was secretly the greatest character in the book. Respect is due.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Died, came back from the dead, kicked butt all around, and he loved his lovely lady to bits. Can't go wrong.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:39 (nineteen years ago) link

[...] and he loved his lovely lady to bits

NED STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS HENTAI

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Tentacles!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Man, fantasy indians are waay cooler than me. I got kicked out of art class in 6th grade for drawing a picture of Tanis and Kitiara boning each other and showing it to this girl who had big boobs.

x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Jeremy, I am deeply pleased you're moving out here. You'll fit right in.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Do they have a recipe for chicken Tika in this cookbook? Boom boom.

There seems to have been a bit of a food theme on ILE today. No bad thing.

Wooden (Wooden), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:42 (nineteen years ago) link

This is probably the only board on which I'd consider that a compliment, Ned.

x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Funny, I always thought Riverwind and Sturm were vying to be the most boring characters in the book (actually that's not quite fair...I hardly remember anything about Riverwind, but I remember Sturm being boring. I don't know which is worse.).

Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Sturm was oppressed by the weight of the past and the sadness of having a handlebar mustache, and then he died.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:49 (nineteen years ago) link

It was like Morrissey with a Lemmy mustache and a metal carapace.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:49 (nineteen years ago) link

a bit more dignity and a few less carnations, too.

x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Monday, 9 August 2004 20:02 (nineteen years ago) link

rrr god i just remembered a kid i grew up with who pronounced all the names in the most batshit way:

sturm = "strum"
caramon = "carmen"
raistlin = "rasslin"

he just wouldn't see reason on the issue, either. (but the "strum" one i was like, "dude, are you even literate?")

g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 9 August 2004 20:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Hey, I did that. I still think of it that way in my head.
