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.

Need help picking some Kipling,

Quote from: Zachary The FirstI hear you.  He's most likely my 2nd favorite author, right after Mark Twain.

I have a gorgeous edition of Kim - with the illustrations being bas-relief sculpture by Kipling's father. One of these days I'll have to look at the fly leaf and find out what edition it is. It's quite old.

And then there's this Thrud the Barbarian episode from some ancient White Dwarf issue. Our hero decides to become sophisticated and hang out with people in fancy hats. IIRC he's asked, "I say, my man, do you know Kipling?" "No, I've never kippled."

Was that what he said? It's not very funny, really. He did go on to slay everyone.

Young, ardent fellow, attempting to woo a pretty girl: "So, do you like Kipling?"
Girl to fellow: "I don't know, you naughty boy!  I've never Kippled!"

No, no.  Your account involved slaughter and gore.  Mine pales in comparison.
