Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the "Witch Scene".

Quote from: san dee jota;947218Sweet mother of god.  A person on an RPG-devoted forum who hasn't seen the movie!?!?

Edit:  

Much as it might surprise you, yes:).

Quote from: san dee jota;947219Honestly, I doubt Onyx Path would care to that degree unless they were already on the fence about dropping the licenses, or knew the licenses would soon be pulled/priced out of renewal anyway.

I doubt it as well, that's why it would be funny if it were to happen.

Thanks, that explains it - I don't watch Monthu Python;)!

Honestly, the Holy Grail and the Life of Brian are both well worth a watch.

Life of Brian is awesome. Unfortunately a lot of their work got ruined for folks by people quoting it all the time.

I'm generally not a fan either - and even 1/2 of Holy Grail got at best an eye-roll from me - but that one probably deserves a watch.  There are enough clever bits to make it worth putting up with the groaners.

I didn't even like Life of Brian - which is the other one with seemingly broader appeal.  ("A man dressed as a woman as his MOM!?!?  And he/she is a whore!?  That's hysterical!"  *heavy sigh*)

Aw, come on.  It gave us this bit:

Seriously? That's what you got out of it?

Nothing about the proper declention of graffiti, or arguments over who the true rebels were... just... they had one of their troupe playing across gender so... heavy sigh I'm assuming because sexist?  

Do you have the same heavy sigh for those ESPN commercials where the woman is in full Thor regalia, complete with beard?  

You must be a lot of fun at parties.

No - I don't think that it was sexist.  I just didn't find it funny.

Just because we have a different sense of humor doesn't make me a SJW.

History of the world is damn funny as well.

Probably, but see below:).

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;947235Life of Brian is awesome. Unfortunately a lot of their work got ruined for folks by people quoting it all the time.

Yeah, that's exactly my case. I also officially dock XP from players for quoting something I can recognize as Monthy Python, because interrupting the game isn't what good players do IMO.
I think that's why my gaming tables are mostly MonthyPython-free:D!

Great, but see above;).

True, but it' also true that people who don't find it funny aren't necessarily SJWs and might simply have a different approach to humour.

Quote from: Charon's Little Helper;947288No - I don't think that it was sexist.  I just didn't find it funny.

Not finding it funny wasn't what triggered me, it was the so put upon , juxtaposed with the mentioned unfunny joke.  To be honest I'm not a terrible fan of cross-dressing humor myself, but I generally don't when someone does it.  I just wait for a joke I do find funny.  Maybe it would have been less triggering to ...  though perhaps even better to ?

You got me, but it -is- a good bit!

Quote from: Skywalker;947068Cool. As said, I can totally understand that Godbound is not for someone who dislikes anything related to the OSR.

Your comment does confirm my original response though, in that you are only really out of luck if you are someone who does not like old school D&D mechanics. In your original statement, you said that you were out of luck if you just weren't interested in old school D&D. It may be splitting hairs, but I think there is a significant gap between a person who actively dislikes something from a person who is just disinterested in that thing. This was why I found your original statement dismissive of a good chunk of the fandom Godbound has created.

Fair enough. I went back and i did indeed say not interested in in my first post. For me, i am not interested in games if i do not like them. But i admit that i was more clear in my second post. Or to put it another way, i understand your reading of my first post and how you could interpret it the way you did. And just to be clear, i did not mean it the way your read it.

Anyway, much water down the river...i guess this discussion is done and we have "upgraded" to talk about Monty Python :rolleyes:

It took me all week, but I finally read all the way through this thread. Say what you will of Exalted, but it certainly gets people talking. Usually talking about how much it annoys them, yes, but talking.

I can report that my first session run with my True20/Godbound/Exalted 2E system went... surprisingly well, actually. I may have accidentally invented my own ideal game. :eek: The players mainly reacted favourably, too - they never had to interact that much with the system, because I handled most of the number-crunching for them (the spoiled bastards! ), but they still noticed that things were a lot less clunky and fiddly. Also, they completely avoided the boss fight I had planned through clever planning and creative use of circumstances, which I seem to understand is very much the OSR way.

I'm also setting up an Alchemical game that use the Godbound rules straight off (with a few minor modifications, e.g., the fact that Alchemicals can change their Charm loadout between sessions). It's looking promising so far - it will be a bit more high-powered than Alchemicals are in their own system, but I suppose I can live with that - since they'll only ever be up against mortals, spirits and other Alchemicals, it's not like there's a balance issue, anyway. And I do have to give Godbound great props for providing support for doing pretty much everything I've tried to do in Exalted before and had to struggle against the mechanics to handle.

In essence, Exalted 3E can take its 70-buck pricetag and shove it up its papery ass! My 2E collection gives me more fluff than I'll ever need, and I've got access to crunch that isn't actively painful to use. I'm all set.

Yeah, I hear that. I know Godbound isn't for everyone--no game is, after all--but it suits me just fine. I've got two massive stacks of Exalted 1e and 2e books to provide plenty of gaming ideas and fluff if I ever want to revisit that world, but I honestly expect my next high-powered game will be using Godbound's setting of Arcem. Someday, though, I'll get around to exploring Creation's West more and doing that pirate campaign I've always wanted to do...
