I do not condone the mindset of this thread.
Please do not post in this thread.
EDIT: There is nothing funny about it. Internet Forae are serious business.
:shrug: Sett if you are being serious, I'll edit this thread. Let me know.

No, go ahead mocking the serious business that the internet is.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*Translated from the Vader: "Dude, this thread was lame the first 154,845 times TBP did it. Don't be that dude, dude."
reinstate the thread dude. It's a laugh.
Fonkay and Sett are only worried they'll get lame characters :)
I am concerned with this thread's Tangency-like nature too.
I do wonder what an RPG topic focused version of Tangency would be like?
My character gets a lightsaber, a VF-19, and kewl jedi pow3rz.
Eh, it's no different from those "Stat Yourself in Game X" threads which appear on every single gaming board at one point or another.
How about instead of turning it into a popularity contest, you post an RPG version of yourself?
That way, the thread avoids favoritism, you don't get any cliqueishness and you get to make fun of yourself in the process.
Dr Rotwang!

Gabriel Card
May be played to add something completely meaningless and off topic to a thread.
If opponent plays any other character card into the same topic thread as the Gabriel card at any time following play of Gabriel card, the Gabriel card is discarded, except in a Palladium thread.
Any player playing a Palladium-related topic card causes any Gabriel character card in play to automatically move to that topic.

No. You are incorrect. I kill you with fire lest your illness spread.
You know Doc Rotwang you were in my Fading Suns game called A Little Dancin' Before We Pray*. For some odd reason the way how you post seeped into this character - an ex priest turned pirate who was funding a revolution with his ill gotten gains - don't ask me why...
He was pretty well known this, Doc Rotwang and the first time he boarded the ship the PCs were on he said : "If my reputation really precedes me, why aren't all your valuables neatly stacked in the corner waiting for collection?"
*Which was also the title of a DiTV game.

....somebody call Ripley's, 'cause for once, I'm speechless.
I hope you mean this in a good way.
The only two other posters I've used in a game is JimBob and Levi.
The former in my current
OtE campaign -
The Day of Living Dangerously - where he is the journo of Friskian proportions named Kyle Schuman. The pcs have to deal with this character who is snooping around their election rigging. The group send one of the pcs to interview a local contact who was a former radical who currently prides herself as an internet success story - she sells pirated DVDs.
"
Yeah, Mr.Schuman. We held him for religious reasons some time back. You know we could not send him to Allah because how would you Amerikans say it?..we could not afford a ground zero. Did you know that some ...a lot of Islamic customs are preIslamic and Christian influenced? Or that you Amerikans should not whine about the fact that the world does not like you ...did the Romans whine? And what by the way is a cocksmock? Some of the men thought it was the traditional remedy for what is the medical term?..smegma."
When the pc was asked by her crew what she had learnt about this chap, she said "
He talks too much".
The latter plays a conflicted cop in my
Hunter campaign -
The Righteous Kind - a close associate of the pcs who struggles between believing in a secular apocalypse and a religious one.

Woohoo! David R, I'm deeply touched.
Just wait for Koltar to show up. He got a whole swag of SJGames forum posters to stat themselves as characters, and used them as NPC sidekicks to the PCs in his GURPS Traveller game. Apparently everyone had fun, occasionally he tells the "owners" of the NPCs what happened to "their" characters ;)

Sorry there - I don't always look at every thread. This looked like yet another "stat yourselves" thread.
What you are referring to was what my group refers to as "Gunny and his Mercs" ...in actuality
Paladin and around 10-11 other posters on that forum who happened to be in the military or are very recent veterans.
When I ran that particular battle scene - I imagined I had TWO tables full of players and I tried to run ALL of the characters fairly - as if they were actually there. It was quite a fun night. Last session my players actually were talking about re-hiring
"Gunny Castillo and hiis Mercs" again.
That original session was in February of 2006/last year.
- Ed C.
Just remembered one other detail - about a third of those people don't play RPGs or GURPS. They were mostly posters in the 'General Chatter" section of the SJG forums. Their equivalent of Tangency/Other topics

Did I miss anything? Wasn't sure what other "disadvantages" he should have. Also, this is him run through the GURPS Character Assistant program.

Quote from: KoltarDid I miss anything?
Wasn't he a History major? Does GURPS not have a skill related to that?
Quote from: GabrielMy character gets a lightsaber, a VF-19, and kewl jedi pow3rz.
Substitute the Valkyrie for a Guymelf and you have my retired Solar character.
First, Pipe tobacco is not addictive, much less "highly addictive", it MIGHT qualify as "moderately psychologically addictive".
Second, my "Computer Use" rolls are probably all done untrained. I'm actually very inept at computers.
And yes, finally, I was not just a history major, I was a university-level instructor.
