I just moved to this area and finally found a good comic place.

They had Warhammer stuff, paper RPG things, comics, video games, Anime, Manga, model kits and my favorite: Action figures…

I think if I had tons of money, I'd buy action figures (after I got a real computer). Some of the Evangelion and Trigun figures with 20+ points of articulation and amazing paint jobs.

The other thing I'd do is make myself one of those nifty Warhammer 40k armies. That'd be fun.

I just wanted to share.

I wish there were some good shops like that around here, but I live in Vegas, this town is -not- geared toward geeks in the slightest… ah well, at least I'm able to build models out of junk :) I'm really good at it now too, you should see this huge orky fort I made.

BLASPHEMEY!

Be warned, Games Workshop is the work of Satan. A purely evil company spawned to flood the gaming world with vastly over-priced 'commercial' crud and wipe out the very essence of the true gamer, replacing the real geeks with hoards of unwashed, baseball cap wearing wannabe's.

*remembers the day when GW was a -quality- gaming company, 25mm minitures were -ACTUALLY- 25mm and White Dwarf was a respected industry wide magazine featuring products from -ALL- gaming companies, instead of the over-priced ad-pamphlet for GW products that it is now.*

*digs up his OLD WarHammer books, the hardcover ones, with the slightly yellowed pages and sniffs*

Yum.


*digs up his DreamPod 9/Jovian Chronices/Heavy Gear books*

WOOHOO.

*sees Mike Pondsmith's picture in "Listen Up you Primitive Screwheads!", the cyberpunk GM guide, and spits on it*

Traitorous swine.

*hides his Palladium books in shame*

Oh… the happy days of Warhammer 1st and 2nd edition. *wipes a tear* and that lost gem, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (WuffRup!). Last I heard, GW sold the entire WFRP line to another fledgling gaming company to dedicate their range to tabletop and board games. Anyone know anything about the followup behind this? Sure, it was cheesy classic fantasy stuff, but WFRP is what brought me here today.

Heh, Palladium. *waves around his TMNT & OS books* Let's play TURTLES!!!

Pondsmith is my fallen hero. *wipes another tear*. He has gone to the dark side of the force, corrupted by Bill Vader.

I started RPgaming on…... RIFTS.... *hangs head in shame* I started by GMing, actually. I can say to my credit that everyone who played those first few games with me will be haunted by Averell the Scholar for the rest of their miserable lives. MWAHAHAHA. Averell *snicker* A completely uninteresting, generic NPC that i had ALL my players look for. For hours. And hours. Through snow, sleet, Coalition soldiers, mountains, caverns, forests, paranoid settlements and whatnot. BAhHAHAHh. I gave 'em such a hard time JUST because one of 'em named his character 'Frank'. 'Frank' the Techno-Wizard. No last name, just 'Frank'.


But at least i didn't start on AD&D!
In fact, I played AD&D -once-, the GM was good, but there's only so much a GM can do for that...thing.

WarHammer FRP was pretty much the only fantasy RPG I enjoyed. i didn't find WarHammer cheesy at all, it was relatively low-magic, filled with corruption, filth, pestilence and overall grimness. The character generation process was fun as hell.

Overall, mt favorites are:
-anything that uses the Silhouette System (Heavy Gear, Jovian Chronicles)
-Cyberpunk 2020 (and NOT that crap CyberGeneration)
-Shadowrun (though the rules busted my balls)
-WarHammer FRP

True, true, if there was one thing WFRP got right it was the gritty feel. And yes, chargen was a damned fine arrangement, all those wonderful careers and such. I was never a huge fan of the magic system tho.

AD&D Dragonlance I played for several years with a -good- GM and a damn fine group of RPers and it was actually quite tolerable. That said, I played/GM'd endlessly with that same group, (varied from 8-12 people) and they mix of styles always created some quality gaming.

But yeah, our staple diet was CP2020 (Me GMing), AD&D Dragonlance and WFRP. Between them we dabbled in Aliens RPG, RuneQuest (I -love- the detail in the RQ combat system, no-one else did.), Amber (diceless, never liked it), TMNT (much fun and comic relief), Judge Dredd RPG (*cough* lame *cough*) and an assortment of other occasionals.

I bought Shadowrun out of curiousity and ran a couple of games, but frankly the theme -never- appealed to me and the mechanics are horrendous…

OMG... Frank. One of my regular players, our resident 'combat monster' created a CP2020 character called Frank, just Frank. Using every possible twinked out trick he could pull out of his ass he got this characters Body stat up to something like 18 -without- cyber. This guy went -HAND TO HAND- against -four- of the military full-body conversions from Chrome Book 2 and -won-, although he ended the fight minus both arms and finishing off the last borg by head-butting it to death...

Disturbing...

By Rastus at Dec 13, 2001, 11:11 PM | 0

That body stat was probably with muscle grafts, muscle and bone lace and such, right?

Well, those nanites need to work on something, make him HAVE to take pills with powdered silicon to keep 'em running. Or if he doesn't, he gets strange cravings for eating sand, or concrete, or glass, or rocks.. Then there's system rejection. Who says the guy's antibodies don't have something against all those nanites running around?
So what then? Immune-system suppressants? Great time for pneumonia!
Or maybe the nanites go out of control and lace up his bones so tight much that his joints get all stiff: loss of REF until it gets fixed.


(I'm SUCH an asshole.)


I've only ever had one powergamer in any of my groups, the guy's name was Roger. He couldn't RP decently at all. He was a complete moron AND an asshole so I just stopped talking to him. I still live in the same neighborhood so I make detours when I go out to avoid meeting the guy.

My Frank (that sounds very strange) was actually my best player, my first one too. Me and him once double-GMed an EarthDawn game. Ever heard of EarthDawn?
The guy was an only child and his pops liked to spoil him as his parents were divorced and it was up to him who he'd live with. Anyway, he'd buy any damn RPG that looked slightly good to him and then try and get us to play.

Silly Rastus

Silly Murphy

Silly Frank(s)


(If Rastus was a bean, and Murphy was a bean, it'd be FRANKS AND BEANS!!)

Just for you Stonemonk… English slang: 'bean', 'Old bean': usually used as a familiarity term between an older generation of Brits, something like "mate" or "bud". So, if Murphy happens to be English, there's your beans.

EarthDawn sounds familiar, but I've never actually encountered it...

I had a couple of powergamers in my regular groups, but thankfully they were both pretty decent guys outside of the fact they weren't 'magnificent' RPers, so they actually made a good balance to the game. Usually they'd end up being the hired thugs/assassins/bodyguards for the various decker/corp chars the other players created.

I miss my good old fashioned RP. After years of RPing, we'd often sit in bars remeniscing about events in games from years gone by, getting incredibly odd looks from the other people in the bar as we happily discussed the good old days, that time we iced 3 cops and Phil fucked up the getaway, ploughing our car into the store window, etc.

You -know- it's bad when you have vivid memories of RP events from the perspective of the characters as if they were your own memories of RL events.

You know it's worse when you can sit down with friends and chat about the old days as if you were the characters meeting up again years later...

*cries*

Actually, I'm Canadian (with a capital C, dammit), not english.

Yeah, I miss good ol' fashioned dice-n-books RP too. I tried to get some people to play Cyberpunk 2020 but I couldn't get it to fly. Almost all my old RP pals have either moved, aren't into RP anymore or I've lost contact with 'em. So that's basically why I'm here, hehe.

Speaking of good ol' RP stories, here's a good one.
My Frank was playing a fixer in CP2020, decided to play it maia style and called his character 'Don Ciccerone'.
Anyway, he was VERY paranoid, and had bought a (relatively)cheap condo. The guy had a frikken blast door put in to replace his regular door, replaced all his windows with bulletproof glass..sort of reminds me of that episode of Perfect Strangers (that show kicked ass). Anyway, at one point he screwed over a couple Solos and sold 'em cheap-ass cyberware. So I had 'em come after him. Anyway, he locked himself up in his fortified condo, and when the solos saw they couldn't get through his door or window, well, the one with the hydraulic-ram equipped cyberarms busted through the wall. Everytime I remember that story, I laugh, on the inside.


Honestly, gaming is so bad for me that when I recall my days on the DarkAge RP Ultima Online me and a friend of mine talk about the crazy wacky stuff we did there and all the trouble we caused .In-character trouble, of course. I mean, what do you get when you have a low-int high-str Barbarian and a super-thief rogue? I mean, except the first Conan movie?
Well, in the case of me an' my friend, you get crazy-wacky mayhem. It was fun, but then we joined up with this guild because it LOOKED good but the people wh ran it were X-Treme whiny morons who couldn't keep IC stuff IC and OOC stuff OOC. Graah. Okay, enough of that.

But yeah, good RP memories can become RL memories, it's weird that way.

I'm hoping when I get all settled in and used to this MOO that I'll be able to have funky moments like in old-style RP.
I've always had trouble getting -in- to M**, I hopped on a couple of MUDs and MUSHes, never got the hang of it, but this one is something special, really. I think it's the fact that there's just sp much you can DO and places to GO and the descriptive writing and the fact that the way things work makes SENSE and the fact that I haven't been killed by any rabbits or snails yet, and that I've not wearing a +10 pair of silver pants (LORD OF THE DANCE!!).

By Murphy at Dec 15, 2001, 3:23 PM | 0
Hehe, well, that's why I'm still here after a couple of years, coz this place offers the nearest to my old CP2020 games that I can get…

At least, when I can damned well get connected... *mutters*

I won't start with my RP 'memories' since they're invariably not as funny when retold to people who weren't there without a ton of background info and, to be frank (not the uber-killer Frank, but just frank), there's too damned many of them. Heh.

And hey, what's wrong with +10 silver pants? *peers at his wardrobe*

By Rastus at Dec 15, 2001, 3:36 PM | 0
Well, you can't wear them till you're level 2345612345651928645.43 anyway.
