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.

Quote from: RPGPunditAgain, WTF is this shit??

You're making RPGs by drawing words out of hats now? Who the fuck do you people think you are, William S. Burroughs?

RPGPundit

Over the Edge in one of its supplements used the cut-up method from Burroughs as a method of chargen.

I didn't get to see that book, but the players guide had tables for you to roll three words to kickstart your char creation.
"Dr.Who and CoC are, on the level of what the characters in it do, unbelievably freaking similar. The main difference is that in Dr. Who, Nyarlathotep is on your side, in the form of the Doctor."
-RPGPundit, discovering how BRP could be perfect for a DR Who campaign.

Take care Nothingland. You were always one of the most ridiculously good-looking sites on the internets, and the web too. I\'ll miss you.  -"Derek Zoolander MD" at a site long gone.

Yea, but I think there's a difference between designing a character that way, and trying to make a whole RPG that way.

That supplement about the Cut-Ups was called Weather the Cuckoo Likes, and it did in fact feature an alternative resolution mechanic which replaced the dice with random words cut up from any old pages...
Previously known by the name of "GrimGent".
