I can't say that I've ever actually made my own movie cast in my head. Fair to say I'm not familiar with enough actors to do that.

Anyone from LOTR will do, and Liam Neeson enhances the badassness [not a word, but go with it] of any movie.

I don't think I would do well in philosophy. Not only is it essentially useless in society and employment, but it also is far more esoteric than my logical mind prefers to be.

I concur

Don't get me wrong, I love esoteric discussion of some subjects. I adore the idea of some theology, and in fact really enjoyed reading up on such in things like D&D. You should have seen some of my old game sessions.

[WAR STORY]I was in a very long fantasy tabletop game, like over a year at this point long. The GM decided to have us go against a deific problem. He had a Goddess named Dega who appeared as a typical angelic form- female, white wings, but instead of a halo, she wore a golden collar like a slave. She was a goddess of light. In her total existence, she had taken only three mortal lovers, and one went crazy. He decided to kill anybody that was not a follower of Dega. Well, she could not bring herself to kill him, and put him under a tree in stasis. We found him, freed him, and then he turned on us. We managed to end him and behead the guy. He was a hard battle to win!

Well, I played a dwarf with a big streak of bad humor. The group decided to bury the body and head separately, and my character decided to make some bad jokes like "Anybody want a little head?" "It's so hard to get a head in the world." and such. Dega appeared behind him putting a hand on his shoulder. The act froze my dwarf, and she simply asked him if he was done making those comments. The dwarf did not know much of deities . . . so in his head he was screaming "How am I supposed to answer you if I can ******** move?!" for his lips were frozen. Dega took him for three seconds. In those three seconds, he spent billions of years in torment for angering the goddess.

At about the mid-point, she ended the torment and asked what he had learned. I knew this was going to just shoot myself in the foot, but I had to do something in-character. I told her "yeah, don't take care off your s**t! Just because you couldn't handle the genocidal a*****e we had to!" Yeah. Never call a lover of a goddess a genocidal a*****e. [/WAR STORY]

wow . . . so dead. crying  

[TwinkelenS t a r]

I think your war story scared everyone off. n_n

I have never played a tabletop fantasy game so I have absolutely no idea how they work. >.>

I once lost 3HP when my barbarian slept with her sword.

It was a special relationship.

xd That just made me smile!

And yeah, my story seems to have killed the room. crying Tabletop games are actually very simple. I imagine them to be the same as here, just in person rather than net. We spent about 1/3 of the time bullshitting, and the rest was fun. We had some damned fun times. There were times where we (the party) thought we were soooooooooo dead, and it felt awesome to not only survive, but do so without losing a single member.

Once I literally had my dwarf leap in front of his wolf to take a hit so she wouldn't get hurt. She was the Lassie of Dire Wolves, and like one of his ( cool children.

Table-top story? Once had a half-elf (who had a super low int score) try to become full elf by drinking the blood of dead elves they found. Turned out one of the bodies was diseased, and he died soon afterwards. His party tried to stop him, but considering I was playing him for comic relief more than anything they soon gave up and decided he would be better off dead.

Had a heifling decide he wanted to be taller so he took a beheaded giant corpse and tried to crawl in it and reanimate it. He wanted to be tall so badly; unfortunately he was killed by insects that the DM decided were living in the cadaver.

These probably aren't as funny as they used to be, but are definitely some of my better D&D memories.  

[RagingBluMunky]

TT stories? I've got a few.

I had some good, hilariously random times with the various games I played. I'm kinda sad that I don't have that group anymore.

Yeah, that sounds awkward in every sense.

I actually like this plan! Behead the giant, purify the body, and animate it either with gnome gears or necromancy. A meat suit that makes you demand power.




I miss TT gaming.  

[Electric Kool-Aid]

redface It's been awhile guys, I'm sorry. RL caught up with me I shall do my best >.<.

We don't do D&D but we do play board games with too many pieces like Arkham Horror and Talisman we also have done Wrath of Ashardalon a couple of times. Arkham is BY far the best. The scenarios get so ridiculous with situations like "Some picnic-ers accidentally release monsters into the Northtown streets!" And cries of F#$@ing PICNIC-ERS! resound throughout the house...

Once while playing Vampire Masquerade my friend told me I had the best intuition for following dead ends of anyone he'd ever played with...I am not a clever man.  

[Alexander Magnus]

Heheheeh, I surprised my Storyteller (same as the GM from the fantasy game) when he first met me and we played Vampire. I was able to logically work through how to deny the existence of vampires as a detective. A human one. When he was turned, I took the benefit of being able to consume human food. He woke up, said how thirsty he was, and then freaked out all the vampires there by downing a can of coke in one go. They expected me to have a violent reaction to food. it was fun. Oh, the things that detective did. <******** PICKNIKERS!!!!

You were missed, EKA, but the lack of activity here let it go mostly unnoticed. Real life sucks.  

[Electric Kool-Aid]

Sounds like a fun detective! I wish there were a Dresden files-esque TT game. There probably is and it's probably not very good...Also my roomies are silly and haven't read the books.  

[Alexander Magnus]

I played him as a sarcastic smartass who did not know when to shut up. Of course, when he walked into the primogen meeting under heavy guard (escorted since he was turned without permission from the prince), and saw the sign "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here" his willingness to censor was not improved. He only shut up when the sherrif came to him with a FF7 Cloud-esque sowrd slashed his midsection, and all he got was a torn shirt.

Fortitude saved him. He was quiet for a while as he tried to make sense of not being hurt.

Tana missed Eka! :0

I am gladly retired from the Masquerade phase in my life. Not that I didn't enjoy myself, but there was too much drama in my group that made it unbearable after a while.
