Re: Neo Variety Hour

But this continues the established story line does it not?

Re: Neo Variety Hour

You'd think so, wouldn't you.

You didn't read Neo Variety Hour, so they killed me.  But even death can not stop my awful, awful posts.

Re: Neo Variety Hour

So if I post something once a year I'll get responses to my writing, too?

Re: Neo Variety Hour

Only responses from one guy, who hasn't even tried to read it.
Though I never got many replies back when I was writing weekly.  This may be because most of my writing really, really sucked.  In fact, it probably still does.

Another thing to consider AMD is this forum is, if not dead, then hibernating.

Thanks.  You are an island of activity in a forum of stagnation.

Re: Neo Variety Hour

I'm a tease, I know.  Speaking of which, I now anounce the creation of a new web comic.  Here's the link to the first episode-also in my profile:

Re: Neo Variety Hour

Yeah, I figured that.  Can you read the transcript?  I'll make 14 or higher the standard font for the other episodes.

But otherwise intrigued as to where this is heading tongue.

Re: Neo Variety Hour

A comic in the style of DM of the Rings or Darths and Droids, except supposing that all of Star trek except Enterprise actually happened and that Enterprise is a role-playing campaign?  Could be good.  Guess I'll wait and see.  Best part is that it falls into the category of miscellaneous weirdness that this thread is meant to contain.

You didn't read Neo Variety Hour, so they killed me.  But even death can not stop my awful, awful posts.

Re: Neo Variety Hour

It still assume Enterprise happened, they just want to do it right.  A comedic point of the comic will be that one of the gamers is a hard-core Trekkie, and he keeps trying to bring the game to canon, but is thwarted.

And now that I think about it, it does have an air of weirdness to it.

This of course means no Temeproal Cold War.  Hopefully.

Re: Neo Variety Hour

The next episode is up.  Expect them every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.  I forgot what day it was-which is odd because I shaved today-so you get one early.  I may or may not post one tomorrow, also, but I am ahead in production.

Re: Neo Variety Hour

Y'know, every time I read the corebook for an RPG, they always have an example of play. Usually goes like this.

"Here is an example of play that doesn't get into the rules (we'll leave that for a later chapter) but rather demonstrates roleplaying. The DM is Chris, John is playing Urthden, a Human Fighter, Giles is a Dwarven barbarian, Gwen is an Elven Ranger, and Billy is playing a Human Wizard! They've just come to the entrance of Malik Hur, a terrible tomb of a lich that buried eons ago!

Chris: The crypt awaits before, a large stone slab of a door taunting you with its immobility.
Billy: Blast! How shalt we get through this door? King Darod and his Kingdom are depending upon us to retrieve the cure!
Gwen: Don't worry, I have an idea! Remember earlier when we were interrogating that skeleton? He mentioned that the water moves when the stone strikes it...
John: And that stones move when water touches them! Brilliant! Alright, I'll go and grab some water from that creek that Chris mentioned earlier-"

And on and on in perfect harmony. Who has ever REALLY played a game like that? Write more realistic game session transcripts.

Re: Neo Variety Hour

DM: You're at the crypt. There's a door.
John: I open the door.
DM: Can't there's no handles or anything.
Billy: I [poofing] break it down then, I thought it was implied if the door doesn't open the first time we BREAK IT DOWN.
Giles: Hey, hey can I lockpick the door?
DM: We-
John: No, you're a goddamn barbarian *Snort*, that, that's like me rolling to cast magic missile.
DM: Hey! HEY! Pay attention. Anyway, the doors made of stone.
Billy: I can break stone.
DM: What.
Billy: I can [poofing] do it, I have a magic +1 hammer, it doesn't break.
DM: So you're going to spend all day hitting a chunk of stone with your hammer.
John: Yeah, and by my measurements, if my calculations are correct, and assuming this door is like, two feet thick, it'll take thirty two hours to bust down, we can do this.
Giles: Hey, hey, hey, I have an axe, I can, I can help!
Billy: No, no you friggin' can't, it's a plain axe and you made a shitty barbarian so, like, you'd make it worse.
DM: Look, maybe GWEN might remember that interrogation- Wait, where's Gwen?
Billy: She showed up one game, and hasn't come back you've been playing her character dingus.
