DH-01 August 8, 2001 8:40 PM	Seriously, I'm trying to get into my Funfun Time groove, but it's not working... that, mostly due to me tweaking around with some FF5 sprites and playing much Diablo 2, sadpoorsicklittleme. So, this is where I ask you for something to bounce off of... anything! ... yeah.

NeoVid August 9, 2001 1:55 PM	I've gotten ideas from almost everything. Just think of something, and you'll probably see strip potential in it. How about... Holidays. Alcohol. Roleplaying. Taboo subjects no one in their right mind would joke about. There's humor potential in damn near anything. If your standards are low enough.

I might have to do a sequel. I left out:

MegaSook, the guy with a stupidly powerful character who gets all huffy if he takes so much as a scratch from those pathetic monsters;

Rules Fiend, the guy who insists on looking up the rulebook at the slightest provocation, usually to correct the DM (a deadly activity in my campaigns); and

The Non Sequitur Roleplayer, who comes to bizarre and unfounded conclusions and then insists on sidetracking the planned adventure so he can go off on some side-quest the DM never anticipated.

Take a look at the List of Player Types. There should be a list of types of GMs, also. Such as...

Evil God. The GM who creates massively overpowered NPCs, inspiring fear and paranoia with the players. "It's not powergaming as long as I'm GM."

Plot 'Hole. The GM who refuses to let a little thing like the players interfere with his planned storyline. "He tells you that Men in Black have been seen in the area..."
"Too much for us to handle. We better not mess with it."
"On the way back, you run into a Man in Black."

Now that I think of it, I should try doing a Knights of the Dinner Table sort of strip here...

I have RPGing in mind since a scenario I wrote is probably going to be used at a convention.

Little do they know I've never even played the game I wrote that story for...

I kinda soured to the whole D&D thing after participating in games led by my older brother. His highest priority as a GM was to come up with new ways to kill my character. I never had a chance. I once was killed by a giant frog (surprise attack from behind, so my character never even saw it) about 5 minutes into the game on the way to the dungeon. I had spent an hour or two generating this character, and it was dead in 5 minutes without ever having lifted its weapon or seen a monster. My brother got a lot of joy out of that experience, but I pretty much stopped playing after that.

Yknow, I never got into D&D at all. In fact, the most experienced RPers I know warn new players not to try D&D, since it's mind-numbingly complicated and there's nothing but combat. If I want a game where you just kill things, I'll play Feng Shui, since it's amazingly simple.

If I want to torture my GM, though, we'll play Mage. In a game where you can do anything you can think of a way to pull off, a diseased brain like mine can work wonders...

"I'll use Correspondence 3, Life 1 to make my bullets home in that guy we're chasing."
"But he's already on the plane, and you're in a different country... oh... wait, Corr 3 could manage that." [GM screams in hopeless despair]

Back in the late 70s early 80s when I was doing D&D I created a planet from scratch that got a lot of action for 2 years - lowered my GPA, actually. It was good times. Then I moved on and joined other DM's worlds. Some of the folks from mine took their characters over. Some still use those character names to this day in other games. They built castles and raised armies in my world. They stopped a war between continents. There is as much there as the DM is interested in supporting.

But I sure as hell don't want to go through all that trouble today. I got a life to live.

My world, Droahark, has been developing as a roleplaying setting and the location for several stories and novels in progress of mine on and off for about a decade. I have a friend I have just gotten into RPGs, and his jaw keeps dropping open when I spout millenia of history (both mundane and divine) at the drop of a hat. In our game the other week, someone asked "Who exactly built this castle we are visiting?" and, five minutes later, this guy asked me if I was just making this stuff up on the spot. Creating worlds is fun.

Some still use those character names to this day in other games.

I have a pile of names that I like to use, left over from a decade and a half of RPGs, computer games, and MUDs. My wife likes one of them so much (Joth) that she says we should give them name to one of our kids. :) I disagree, but it's a funny thought.

Anybody who takes out the main bad guy will have all his hospital bills quickly paid by the other player characters.

But that's nothing compared to the munchkinism you can get in Aberrant sometimes...
