Star Wars trivial pursuit.

And for the non-ubergeeks, "Whack-A-Caz". It involves hitting Caz in the head with a rubber mallet and running like hell.

Me and Adam watching 2-4 hours of wrestling, and 2-4 of anime, apparently :D

"Burn Evan Moore in effigy"?

No, because she's going to have to sit there explaining what's going on in the anime to me, and I'm going to have to sit there going "That's Bret Hart... watch him work on the guys arm for 8 minutes, then slap him in a submission move.. that's psychology! See where he's whispering in his ear right there? Pretend you didn't see that..." :D

And I'll sit on the other side going, "You see, Shawn Michaels was SUPPOSED to wrestle Bret Hart but he was being a tool and hated Hart so they hot-shotted the belt to..."

And I will make sure that I get out of the way should Adam and Daki determine they don't agree on something... :D

Shit hon, I'll be getting the fuck outta the way then too!

That might be a legitimate worry.

Whack A Caz...

Y'all best friggin run! There's gonna be hatchets and oars and a whole lake I can use to drown whoever decides to hit me with a friggin' rubber mallet.

Actually, I want to spend some time on the lake and I want to get to play KOBOLDS ATE MY BABY at least once.

Cash,
It will have to be in effigy. I'll be "incognito" at GenCon.

Actually, yes--but not like you'd expect.

And as for getting laughed out of anywhere, the three distributors I've spoken to so far about picking up the lines have been quite encouraging and very interested in the product--particularly *after* I said, "No, it's not D20".

In fact, "sit up and take notice" is probably the best way to describe it.

But, we will be encouraging the game in a low key "awareness campaign".

Shoot. How are we going to identify him so we can burn the ...*pause*... effigy?

Get a copy of his game, tack it to a dummy with a head about six sizes too large and make with the liter fluid and the zippo.

Sure Evan, sure, the whole gaming world is just itching to play your game.

Caz,
Have you played it?

I don't seem to have a Non-Disclosure Agreement with your name on it...

The only thing you have to go on--at least, legally--is *me*.

Now, you can hate me all you like--it does seem to give you some reason to post, lately--but I'm not the only one involved in the project. And, for you to write it off because you don't like me is about as ludicrous as writing off D&D because you don't like Gygax.

One thing I've learned lately--thanks to GAMA--is that gaming, in general, is really a very small market. In order to grow, to thrive and to draw in new blood, we need to be open to the new developments in the industry.

Savage Realm doesn't compete with any other game on the market, really. We all compete together.

I support Bethy, Adam, et al. in their writing of material to keep the gaming community alive with new products, new ideas, new games, new expansions--and they do the same for other games in the market place.

You don't like Savage Realm because you don't like me. You have nothing else to go on than my attitude, my elitism, my dislike of anything with the letters "D&D"--and you're too damn proud to back down from your previously stated position.

So, fine, don't like it. It's fine with me. I'd prefer it if you'd give it a chance. I'd prefer it if you'd be willing to offer suggestions to make it better.

But, you're not interested in that.

You just want to dislike me.

I ask you a favor, then--and, of course, you have no reason to comply.

Savage Realm is not me. Don't hate it because you hate me. What I have contributed is a very small part and you'll probably never notice it. Give it a chance for the others involved in it. At least 4 other writers and a ton of artists are committed to this project. Just because you don't like me, don't waste their chances, too.

Evan

You need to hit the neighborhood Culver's at least 5 times. That stuff is good, or at least it was the last time I went to Wisconsin.

You could play some Cheapass Games(tm), and, alternatively, an old-school Avalon Hill board game (like Diplomacy or Origins of WWII). Buy strange and unusual RPGs, or develop odd scenarios, and use the Bulldrekers as gunea (Genuea? Ginny? the hell with it.) pigs.

I don't remember the exact phrasing, but I think it came down to: hanging out with scantily clad gamers.

I don't know whether I should sit up here and watch, or be repulsed at the thought. . .

Walk around outside, doing all sorts of Bulldrekky things that won't get you arrested.

Hell, if you're lucky you may start a riot! :D
(Of course, then you may be arrested. But still.)

Two guys engaging him hot man love while watching wrestling? It's a love story for the jilted generation.


Anyways, someone want to explain Woodsman for those of us not in the know? Namely me.

Fuck yeah! I'm up for that.

Adam will represent all the Lucha stars out there. We'll dub him, La Parka.

I'll represent Brock Lesner.

How about it Adam?

On account of me not having any health insurance - no.

Okay I'll Kevin Nash. You only have to worry about 3 moves and chances are I'll miss you anyway.

ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!!!!

**MooCow does the Time Warp**

According to a quick google search and some link skipping I found two theaters in Madison and one in Milwaukee that hold it. I'm sure Caz and Thorn know the ones in Madison.

Bulldrekkers at RHPS.... that would be awesome :lol

I'll go in drag if other people do to....

No no, if necessary, I will drag the module into the lake, and, with the help of oxygen deprivation, convince him that he makes a perfect Brad Majors. Then I'll be getting my gold lamé shorts and matching chucks...
