Quote from: wheggi;378733I was originally going to say I was one of the contributing editors to the F.A.T.A.L. game system, but figured the joke wouldn't go over well in these parts . . .

So no, I'm just Wheggi.  Not a gamer, just someone who likes playing Gygax's AD&D and writing silly shit for OSRIC.

Making F.A.T.A.L. jokes and saying cutsey, precious, and snarky things like "Hasbro's Fantasy game" (from another thread) on the Internet makes you a "gamer" in every sense of the word. A self-loathing gamer, perhaps, but a gamer nonetheless. Don't feel bad, you're among friends; you gotta own that shit man!

Goddammit Pete, I posted a FANTASTIC reply to your post and it got lost.  It sucks when you go trollin' and you catch a sucker hook, line and sinker and the punchline response gets lost.  Oh well: I'm sure I'll have more opportunities to bait you in the future.

Best,

I am number 2

This just in from EnWorld:
D&D 4th Edition News Major Rules Updates:
Acrobatics: you can now "hop down" 10 feet without falling prone.

I am CavScout's baby's daddy. I'm a gamer, an obnoxious punk, hate and vitriol personified.

You too.

Sorry Silverlion.

In the interest of thread survival, i'm Dan White. I've been a contributing author to the WFRP Companion, The Thousand Thrones (both WFRP v2 books) and Cults of Freeport - all of which published by Green Ronin.

My own game, Stone Horizons is in the final stages of development. You can find a thread detailing its development right here in the design & development forum.

Cults of Freeport?

Wow, I didn't know that about you, Dan. (One Horse Town)

That book was well liked and had nice things said about it by regulars in the store. Most of the Freeport stuff sold pretty well the first month or two that it was out.

 This is Ed C. He's a swell guy with a few flaws. One of which is attracting the attention of douchenozzles. The other of which is discarding the truth of atheism for the pure unadulterated crapola known as religion. but he's an ok bloke.

And the dog ate you homework too, I'm sure.

It's all good, man. Being that my lurking to posting ratio is pretty high on the lurking side, there probably won't be many opportunities for me to get hooked, so feel free to repost your witty rejoinder as a freebee.

So an African or European swallow?

I'll make it easy for you.

I'm Pete and here's my Bull Durham rundown:

I play Dungeons & Dragons in all shapes, forms, and editions. I will play mainstream, underground, dice, percentile dice, dice pools, diceless, mid-press, small-press, Forge-press, class and level, and even point-buy (if you hold my hand when making a character) games.

I am a "my guy does" player who can still get into the game, and I wish people would start using adjectives alongside the word "immersion".

I wish I was knew how to play hex-and-chit wargames.

Retro-clones bug me on a gut-feel/emotional level, particularly the ones that are charging money for print versions, because I think they all need to slap a big, fat "THIS GAME WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED BY GYGAX AND ARNESON, WE JUST EDITED IT" on the front cover and in the credits page. Glowing forwards and prefaces do not cut it for me. And a cut of any profits to be made should be sent, very loudly and proudly, to the Gygax memorial fund. Or at the very least, just send Gail and Ernie a check every now and again...

Unless otherwise stated, I assume an implicit "IMO" in every declarative statement ever written on the Internet.

I find myself capable of agreeing with Luke Crane, Settembrini, and Aos ALL AT THE SAME TIME! This frightens me.

The Cthulhu mythos is not at all scary, but is fucking cool!

I will never like Palladium again for their games and business practices. I still do, however, love Palladium, particularly Eric Wujcik, for personally answering each and every single one of my "You guys are so fucking awesome! Your games are the best, but you know what would make them so much better? IMPLEMENTING THE DOZEN PAGES OF IDEAS THAT I'M [snail]MAILING[in lefty handwriting] TO YOU RIGHT NOW!!!" letters that my 14 to 16 year old self, way back when, wrote. (Like, real responses, not "thanks for your call" bullshit.)

People who complain about the upcoming D&D Intro game only supporting two levels, but still refer to D&D B/X as if it were a single entity are cheating.

I admire and respect Tekumel. I'm not sure if I ever want to play in Tekumel.

I believe, deep-down, that gamers need to play a Drow character at some point in their lives. If only to just to get it out of their systems (currently playing a Drow Warlord).

I like some Forge games. And go fuck yourselves.

My said 14 to 16 year old self would have loved Moorcock's Elric saga had I read it then. My 30 year old self (currently 36, btw) who read it says, "Yeah...there's a lot of hypocritical Drizzt-haters out there."

Is that enough to go on?

Hi, I'm Tommy.

I've been playing for somewhere in the area of 16 years, on and off.  I started with AD&D2e and the Advanced Marvel FASERIP set...my favorite RPGs now are Savage Worlds (with an emphasis on Deadlands) and Marvel SAGA.

I became a playtester for Eden Studios, which led to my first published writing credit in the Angel Roleplaying Game (I got to research the spells cast in the first three seasons of the show and stat them).  I also had a fairly ignored article in Eden Studios Presents #2 about playing variations on the "Good Vampire" theme in Buffy/Angel, complete with a list of vampire archetypes.

These days I am (slightly) better known in RPG circles for my reviews, which I post here, at RPG.net, at RPGHaven, on the Role Play Media Network and on my own blog at The Most Unread Blog On The Internet.  Ever.

I am also an indy comic writer, publishing work with Equinox Comics and trying to win Small Press Idol with Max Monkey, Monster Masher.  The guy in my avatar is Zumagoathulhu, and he is one of the villains of the book.

I'm just a gamer, though I've done illustrations for other people's projects.

I thought it bombed - i've seen nothing about it on the net since the day it was released.

I'm sorry, Tim! I didn't mean to derail the thread.

Here - I'll try again:

I'm clash. I wrote a metric ton of games. Nobody has heard of them. I'm writing more. Nobody particularly cares. I'm old as dirt, have no illusions, and am not afflicted with nostalgia. I'm a gamer. So is my wife, and so is my son. I try not to be a dick. I'm cheerful, like people, and am socially apt. I am a professional writer. I get paid a nice wage to sit at a computer and write. I'm extraordinarily happy with my life, and with my gaming. It's far better now than it has ever been, and I've been gaming since 1977. I don't run any form of D&D - I did that for 20 years and I never will again - but I occasionally play it if someone in my group wants to run it. I have neither a particular hatred nor the slightest interest in it, which means I fit in here like a jellyfish on Pike's Peak.

Better?
