This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Kate Bush is the goddess of the wood elves, while the High Elves worship Bon Jovi. The patron god of the dwarves? Tom Waits

Quote from: Bill;698513Deathclok should have their own pantheon.

The Chaos Gods of Rock N Rule.

And if you get that reference, congratulations, you're old ;)

Kate Bush a goddess of Wood Elves? High Elves methinks. Grey Elves..hmm...Classical or pure Jazz?
Don\'t mess with cats we kill wizards in one blow.;)

If Kate Bush is high Elves, then the goddess of Grey Elves has to be Tori Amos




Hmmm, seems like Bowie should be in there too, but that might be just a little too on the nose....

Yes, hence the "On the nose" part. Though I think I prefer Bowie as the leader of a secret organization of retired rockstars that use thier vast fortunes and flair for the dramatic to stage an elaborate game of super villains vs duper scientists in conjunction with an elite-but-outdated wing of the US Military.

As for Halflings, I nominate Cyndi Lauper and Elvis Costello as patron dirties. MEWa

Quote from: The Ent;689991Sounds fun, Old Geezer! Always enjoyed your recollections at the other place! Awesome Balrog play :D

Yes! This book is gonna be awesome.
He screams and screams and pounds his head Against the wall until wailing phantom firetrucks Paces across his vision. Pain, pain is all he wants. And hate, yes hate. We shall never forget and never forgive. And never ever fear. Fear is for the enemy. Fear and bullets. ~ James O\'Barr

Quote from: Spinachcat;691843I am good with the anecdotes and ponderings, but I also want to know "what it was like to be there" and I do want to know more about the "bunch of guys in a room" because I was not there.

Have you picked up any books on writing memoirs? There are memory techniques ghost writers use to help the biography subject remember more details and I am sure autobiographical writers use them as well.

Well, fuck me bloody.

I've gotten feedback from all four of my editors, and they ALL pretty much agree with what SC and several other people here have said.

EVERYBODY wants to know who Mike Wollan was(the guy who was the referee for Ghulash).

I guess I'm gonna have to take SC's advice and get some books on writing memoirs, cuz all I got is "Ummm... this guy I went to college with?"  I don't even remember his major... hell, I'm not sure I ever KNEW his major.

Just like one of the Lake Geneva gamers was Bill Corey.  But I never, EVER saw Bill OUTSIDE a game, so I LITERALLY know NOTHING about him other than "He was a guy I played games with."

I obviously have much work to do!
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.
