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.

Quick, get the Limbo Fever rules!

Oh, damn you!  DAMN YOU TO HELL!

I can't stop looking.  I don't even want to.

If "Gay Karate Man" isn't a class in Limbo Fever d20, then I will hunger strike until it is.

Quote from: Andy KYou can submit your own questions to be answered by the Professor! I say we brainstorm something good to submit.  

Like "All my players want to play is games like Dungeons and Dragons, Mutants and Masterminds and A Game of Thrones. How do I prove to them all that Nicotine Girls is better?"

Nice one! Here's another one:
"Why won't they let me use Breaking the Ice as the rules for our dungeon crawl campaign?"

It appears that Story-Games has knuckled under in the face of extreme Hampster Birthday Dance pressure. The Veil has been pierced. That Limbo Fever design thread is now viewable without an account.

A little victory dance music if you'll please, Maestro. :rimshot:

Hmmm. I'm a little disappointed by the Official Verditct:

http://www.xanga.com/RPGpundit/537438764/item.html

http://indiegamingscene.blogspot.com/ = "A brilliant parody of what
they're really like".

http://therpggriot.blogspot.com/ =  "A thinly-veiled attempt at brute
insult, that... slanders me without cause".

Personally, I find them both hilarious and at the same time both more than a little distasteful at times.  The both have lame parts (like the constant hinted elitism of the former, and the constant repitition of the same stuff over and over in the latter), and I do agree that the first is slightly funnier than the second.  But man, both are still spot on parodies in places.

I guess it's just not as funny when you're the one targeted. I guess it's like the South Park syndrome; at first, Matt and Trey only targeted rednecks, conservatives, religion, Bush, more George Bush, etc.  Then, in keeping with the "Everyone's a target" theme that they stand by, they started making fun of liberals, the environmental causes, animal rights, vegetarians, free-thinkers, AA, actors, etc. (I'm a liberal, BTW, and have strong ties to AA; I still thought the AA episode had some gold in there)

It was only then that the pirmarily liberal (and again, thassa me) audience started going, "Oh hold on now, wait a minute, NOW they've just gone Too Far. It's just not funny anymore, it's lowbrow and repulsive."

Au well.

:drillsergeant: You cannot qualify dance-offs in harsher terms than I will. They are cruelty, and you cannot refine it. I know I had no hand in making this competition, and I know I have made more sacrifices today than any of you to secure peace.

I on the other hand, gleefully take full responsibility. Nothing less than total victory will be had by therpgsite in this epic conflict. Story-Games has just gotten served!

Boo and such.

That is all.

Ohhh, that's too bad. But I guess it's because they already had something planned. I bet they wouldn't mind a second Other professor coming in to drop some wisdom, but probably just not the "named" professor.

BTW, did you catch the new RPG Pro guy, and his blog? Dude, that's out of goddamn control funny stuff right there.  I think we all know a guy or two JUST like that.

Holy shit:
QuoteOne of the really hard things about designing RPGs is going too far ahead of your time. The D-Minus system uses subtraction, skills, and attributes. Skills and attributes are there as touchstones. Gamers love the familiar, but they also crave new experiences. Therefore, I added in subtraction. That's very innovative. I wonder how many thousands of gamers always wanted to subtract numbers, but instead had to add them? Once again, D&D just COMPLETELY and UTTERLY does everything it can to BUNGLE the process of creating new gamers. Where's the subtraction in D&D I ask? Just try to find it.

You can't.

Man, this guy's good.  He's probably better than both the original dude AND the Pundit-analogue.
