Utterly Mad

Sorry for being so slow Lork, just got back from Forum War III

It's alright.

Now that the nightly bonding is done, I can write in Fire and Gallows now.

i live in the ass end of nowhere, so i generally play with whoever accepts its, and my current group is, to put it bluntly, dumber than a sack of dead rats. i could only muster two guys up (yaaaaaay), and one is a coldhearted homicidal motherfucker, and the other is really friggin silly. this might not SOUND bad for a usual hacky-slashy DND game, but we tried Call of Cthulhu once. i was running an adaptation of "Cult of the Reptile God" (great adventure that), whcih ran under CoC rules. so, first thing they do is go into the golden grain inn and loudly say "So, i hear you are in a Cult". and then they look at me, completely baffled, when all of the cult motherfuckers in the bar leap up and attack them. they survive (barely, one of them crit'd and destroyed the phone before a call for cops was made), and then follow the bartender, who they ran away from, home a month later, BEAT HIM TO DEATH, and bury him in a shallow grave after stealing all of his shit. they are then baffled at the fact that his family missed him and put in a missing persons report, which leads to them being arrested and given the death sentence for at least 6 murders according to witnesses. other highlights of this game include dropping a fuckload of acid, and one knocking the other out with a golf club, and then being surprised when this caused BRAIN DAMAGE! (he crit'd, its a wonder the damage didnt kill him). jesus christ.


this story of mine sums up my current set of players for tabletop games.

an even worse story is how mister murdercuddles decided to interrogate a guy. he STARTED the torture by lighting his pubic hair on fire, and then PUT A SHARD OF GLASS IN THE GUYS MOUTH, and then PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE UNTIL HE HAD SLASHED HIS CHEEKS UP. they got the info, and then mister sillycuddles cut the poor guys head off. at this point my mind shut off, and i just walked into the other room, cried a bit, and the watched Conan.

Star Wars online? Do you mean an online game of a star wars tabletop game? And if so, which one. Westwood Star Wars is ok. Its the best star wars based game, but GURPS and Traveller are good for Star Wars.

Oh, that Tenkil RP is going to be as tabletopy as I can get it. Like, down to dice roles and all kinds of charts and stuff. Will it take a while to do anything? Yes, yes it will. Do I really have much of a life to get in the way of updates? No, no I don't.

Jesus my 12 year old brother and sister, and my 14 year old sister are better Call of Cthulhu players then these dumbasses. At least my younger brother finally found out that 'killing' things isn't the main draw of the game (I read him the description of Cthulhu to give him an idea why guns are practically useless, as he was hellbent on getting a 50. Cal. After what I said about Cthulhu he quit asking.). I'm still organizing a game (going to run a small homebrew of the usual "you investigate a haunted house" so I can get a grip on how to play it, then run some adventures out of the manual, then finally start to work on a Mask of Nyarlathotep campaign as the book came in with my dice.)

Also I wouldn't mind joining a CoC game over the IRC or Skype. I'm the kinda personal that learns from doing/seeing, reading examples out of the book is one thing, but actually playing or watching a session is another.
