Monte Cook took your money but he doesn’t want you fucking sub-humans talking to him with your goddamn bullshit
Monte Cook took a breather from counting the loot from his second Kickstarter, just a few moments he used to take a big, runny dump all over the people who gave him more than $400,000:
You understand that, you little shits? Giving Monte Cook your money, supporting his company, artistic aspirations, and lifestyle, DOES NOT entitle you, in any way and regardless of your intentions, to address him. He absolutely DOES NOT want to hear any of your bullshit. In fact, Monte does not think of you even as human: you are simply a semi-sentient wallet, and he desires of you just enough cognitive capacity to empty your contents into his Bag of Infinite Money-Holding. That task accomplished, your duty is done and you must now seep back into whatever whore’s ass you were shat from.
On the other hand, any fucker dumb enough to pay Monte Cook for his retarded writing should be regarded as sub-human, and probably culled from the herd in as humane a manner as expediency allows.
I can’t resist, here’s some unsolicited advice for you Cunte: if you don’t want to hear from assholes during the development process don’t invite them in as investors, you arrogant ungrateful fucking cunt. Just make something and sell it, like a normal motherfucking product. Then you don’t have to have a comments section, or updates, or any other forum where these hooting, braying, short-bus populating WalletThings could dare interrupt your divine peace of mind. Just like your bullshit blog, twat.
Your Dungeon Is Suck. 
I don’t know, have you seen this thread over at Tipper Gore’s Big Purple Dildo?
http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?703645-Kickstarter-Failstarter-2-Failstopper
Almost makes me want to side with Monte, especially when you read the comments by that asshat Kaiju Keiichi (recently perma-banned from that leftist conservative enclave for, and I quote, “shitposting”). Kaiju Keiichi was one of the biggest social retards at RPGNet for years, glad to see that piece of feces gone.
Monte, however, shot his load YEARS ago. Who needs another D&D 3.0 where magic users get all the attention and the better level progression anyway?
That comment in the RPG.net thread about Mike Nystul’s couchsurfing is gold!
“Twat” is kind of offensive.
Twat? Twat did you say? I cunt hear you!
Wow, I didn’t realize that Kickstarter RPGs were such a gravy train. I better get started on mine before the OSR starts circling the drain. Oops, damn.
Doesn’t surprise me that he treats his fanbase the way he treated the game companies he worked for, promise much, deliver little and then retreat after leaving everything in shambles.
Yeah, I wish he and his backers would all meet to discuss this Important Shit, but then all die of food poisoning fro bad Cheetos instead. Sometimes there are no good guys.
To be fair, he did deliver on his Numenera Kickstarter, without massive delays, and the extra products well on schedule, but YDIS makes a valid point. If you don’t want unsollicited opinions, shut the fuck up and don’t take people’s money so you can make your product in the first place faggot.
The condescending attitude of some of these parasites toward their hosts is baffling – be thankful someone lets you bleed them to support your manchild hobby as a full time gig… otherwise you’d be pouring coffees at Starbucks. They live in a bubble world.
Not hard to see where this is headed: A shit storm will follow, Monte will apologize, all will be forgiven by the unblown masses because of Gamer Stockholm Syndrome.

Speaking of Bloodystoolmage, I had a generous Blooey related early Xmas gift for you guys, but fuck it. Santa told me you were pricks and shouldn’t get anything. Besides, I think I can make a cool fitty grand off a Kickstarter for it. Give me bucks, and I give you yucks. Stay tuned (a portion of proceeds will go to both the realization of Blooeycon, and hurricane relief for those ugly Phlips out in the Pacific. But most importantly; Blooeycon).
Come to think of it, Santa kind of smelled like cat piss and poorly-wiped booty crack instead of cookies and cinnimon. Maybe it was actually Greenwood.
By and large, most “advice” given by investors is along the lines of, “Just finish writing the product, man.” Once one has obtained the money that one has begged for, one needs to learn to shut up or otherwise deal gracefully with said advice from one’s investors, especially considering that by now it must be apparent to many investors that most RPG kickstarters are at best well-meaning pipe dreams that never pan out, at least in those instances when they aren’t outright scams.
That said, anyone who throws money at a product that hasn’t been completely written and drawn beforehand deserves to never be reimbursed in any way for his foolish gamble.
This would be a good time to remind enthusiasts that RPG writing isn’t rocket science; never has been and never will be. Nobody needs to to be supported during the writing, drawing, and editing stages. 99.99999% of this generic pap can be written up on the fly during one’s 10-minute breaks at work and e-mailed home with no obvious decline in quality.
And – sorry, folks – most current RGP art is laughably amateur scribbling that isn’t worth waiting for.
I know, I know – preaching to the choir here. Must be in a mood. Grr.
The remaining decimal point’s worth of effort usually occurs on the toilet. TMI?

Slow day for outrage, huh ? WAH monte cook suggested that there are idiots in the gaming community that mean he hates everyone wah.
Christ. You sound like the OSR twats who got a big wedgie from some vague ad copy that suggetsed that some small press graphics suck. “Oh Noes ! We am butttthurtt ! All that is game is good ekscept $$$ that is bad.”

I see a member of the Monte Cook fan club has shown up to uphold the honor of their beloved Master in the manner befitting his inner circle. Keep up the good work, I’m sure Monte is proud to have fans like you around.
Sad , sad, sad. Standard gaming nerd counterblast number twenty two. The only reason that I could think this is a sad, mailed-in kind of attention whoring rage is that I’m a inner circle fan of Mountie cock ?
Yeah, thats me all over. bad news bro, what i see is this: monte is a hack with delusions of poseur hood who cranks out derivative bloated crap that he passes for creative,stuff that is mainly the same as everything else only with tail fins,but god, let him vaguely suggest disrespect for fat cunts who know the answer to everything, and you’re all butthurt.
Like I said, same nerd betrayed rage as the osr, just with stupid names. TAYK ME SEREOSLY OR I WILL CRY ( AND USE FUKWORDS LIK BAD ADULTS BUT THAT IS Y YDIS IS BETTR TAN OSR YEAH AND I HAVE COOL ANONMOUSE POST NAME TOO)
Well, stupider names than the Osr, to be fair.
tl;dr
Uh oh, bad news bro? I got to there and started making Blooey-cheese in my boy pussy. Want a big lick?
Respect, properly paid:

It’s not so much the damning quality of the actual accusations — the legal community is largely blowing it off — but the defensive and frivolous responses the fans come up with are priceless.

The eye-opener for me is that “Orcus” is now used as a tag by the Spokane Spokesman-Review.
http://www.spokesman.com/tags/orcus/
Obviously, that so-called “newspaper” is just a gateway to witchcraft, satanism, and LARPing.
His Honor Judge Orcus is going to end up renting a couch to sleep on from Blooey in Prescott AZ…
Maybe he can manage PollyEggCon after he gets disbarred, because that’s a feather Bloodymage doesn’t need in his cap.
Normally I’d side with the gamer by default, and Clark’s takedown of Kuntz was classic, but the way he abandoned Necromancer Games and the fans is not too cool. If he truly was posting to ENworld and Paizo while sitting at the bench, as some of the postimes seem to indicate, that is pretty bad.
But a lot of that does reek of attacking gamers as wierdos, so fuck ’em all.
Maybe he was on a break?
It’s now been a month since the last update at the ‘ole Dwimmerdouche suckdunjon KS page. Based on the traffic in the comments section the natives appear to be getting restless. Maybe Pookie & Co. need to take a page out of Monte’s book and tell all the backers to suck a big wet fart out of their ass ??!?!?
Also, counting down to the one year anniversary of Grognardia going dark! This Wednesday can be celebrated by looking at a tiresome issue of Imagine, asking your ‘friends’ for some out-of-print goody off your Acaeum Want List, blaming your work ethic on relatives that you haven’t spoken to in years, or just disappearing and leaving everyone wondering what happened to their money.
Now, am I to understand that the Dwiimmerchoad boys actually expect people to sit and watch goons discussing shipping rates? So this is easier than just refunding everyone’s money?
Shameful confession, I’ve started rooting for the layout guy. “I never understood why we were reprinting um all those spells. I mean I understood the theory but it never really made any logical sense to me to duplicate material that could easily be found elsewhere, just for the sake of completeness so I think just including anything new would make sense. I’m assuming that if somebody’s running Dwimmermount they’re going to know where to find the information. I mean it’s not like we’re creating um something whole cloth and then we’re trying to introduce people to these concepts. It just seems like we’re making more work than we need to make.”
But then around 8:00 – 10:00 it breaks down again and the voices start fretting about how they demonstrate how true to the pope’s legendary vision they are. Like it’s the dead sea scrolls.
I got a dumb question: how many hours a month are they actually working on this fucking thing and how many hours a month are they spending on project management? Because the first kind of hours add up to something in the backers’ lifetime and the second kind don’t.
Meanwhile, Skarka missed November delivery again this year and backers are publicly wondering whether he’s alive. I hope he is because someone OR SOMETHING keeps sharing Firefly and Wil Wheaton links on his G+ feed about as frequently as Judge Orcus blogs from the bench.
“Map booklet” sounded familiar so I started wondering why they were still fucking around with the maps when the map book was supposedly in print proofs on October 11. Then I see that the illustration book was ready for GenCon distribution and then a month ago Tavis was hoping to authorize print and ship of that piece “right away.”
Guys, once a piece has been crossed off, it’s done. Don’t keep fucking with it. Leave it alone and put out a fire somewhere else. Or if it’s not done, don’t cross it off. Either way, I know you’re all busy but either Dwimmermount is mission critical or it ain’t.
In related news, the second coming of Petty Gods was expected “Sept/Nov” but that guy has been so busy starting a zine it looks like that once again deadlines are the only thing getting blown in the OSR this year. Sorry to get your hopes up again, contributors!
A fucking answer, all you backers glued to this troll site! Around 48:00 they’re going to get to start laying out the dungeon proper next month, although the faction chapter and cosmology sections are still AWOL. So if all goes well, the dreaded print proofs could start hitting in February and then maybe delivery…?
One thing is abundantly clear to me at this point …. our friend IRWS checked out waaayy too soon.
Sure, we’re on the back nine of this Clusterfuck ProAm invitational, but with JzzzzMAL re-surfacing so soon and the white knight posse slowly grinding to a halt, there’s still plenty of comedy gold to be mined before this turdbomb crosses the finish line, if that happens in our lifetime.
YDIS has lost it with this one. Monte is a master scam merchant but who fucking cares? At least he puts a real product out there. He is at least one order of magnitude above the usual targets of this blog who have Monte’s attitude or worse but not the track record.
By what defenition of ‘scam merchant’ is Cook a scam merchant? He makes stuff. People buy that stuff. He kickstarts. People give him money. He delivers on the stuff he said he would make more or less on time. Is there any reason to suspect he took a massive share of that kickstarter to pay off stuff that was totally unrelated it?
A lot of people like his stuff. A lot of people don’t. He might be a hack with a sense of entitlement, long past his prime and running mostly on rabid fanboys, but we don’t actually have any proof he scammed anything.
Is a comparison with the likes of Jmal, Nystul or John Adams really warranted? Can we not simply call Monte Cook an entitled Hack and be done with it?

“Centaur Love” is back on the auction block!

I wonder if Joe Blochead is jealous of what that female centaur is receiving…

My favorite comment is this one, from a backer:
I have seen no physical product and it’s been forever but I’m not disappointed. Your hemming, hawing, procrastinating and excuse making have been worth their digital weight in gold but in comedic terms they have been priceless! Pure gold. I am being totally serious by the way, there is no sarcasm intended.
With the KKK Alehouse down, the goosesteppers have migrated to Dragonsfart to rage about History’s Greatest Villian, Nelson Mandela:
http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=64083
The mental midgets of the blOwSR never cease to amaze me. Props to Dragonsfoot for shutting that down and not giving those Nazi pig fuckers Mjollnir, DireHammer, and MrHemlocks a platform. And Delthyn of Greyhawk and Mock26 win the Social Retards of the Month award.
I mean Jesus Mother Fucking Christ even GOPagan Greyhawk Guy standing with the Iron Lady and the Gipper at least has the class and decency to keep his mouth shut when somebody dies.
It just became clear; Steelers icon guy is a black dude. Showed up on DF originally with a pro-Chris Dorner (6 foot + black ex-cop who went on a murder hobo rampage)quotes; obviously very pro-Mandela (and racist or not most white guys don’t give a flying fuck about black female poets – shit, most black dudes don’t give a fuck about Angelu); takes the bus. Nothing wrong with it, but I only ever met one gamer of color who seemed cool and undorky in general. The “homies” who hang with the typical lily white, goateed gamers tend to be fat, drooling retards like many of their white counterparts. But hey, nobody ever called gaming a cool, hip melting pot. But I still get to mingle with cool black guys. They’re the only other ones hanging out in the ally behind the liquor store on a Saturday night.
“Do not get me started on this NELSON MANDELA BS! Leave your left wing political crap out of these forums. That bastard needed to die and the sooner the better. You have no idea what the real Mandela was about. Just the political correct BS you gathered from the controlled media.”
Um…
“Regardless, I just wish we weren’t flying flags at half-mast over here in America. That is a privelige reserved for americans, and it takes an act of Congress to decree that flags will be flown at half-mast. Instead our President dictates that we shall fly our flags for a non-american without congressional approval.”
Uh…
“AGREED!!! That guy was scum! I am so sick of whites going out of their way to destroy their culture, people and pride by supporting people like Mandela. Back in the early 80s my brother and a few friends almost became freedom fighters for the Boers. Only thing stopped us was our age.”
I…
Hell, no comment is needed. This stuff practically satirizes itself.
I wonder what MrHemlock’s user name is over at Stormfront.
Yeah, as well all know Mr Mandela committed mass genocide on whites in SA as soon as the existing white elites pretty much handed him the keys to power in an effort not to be exterminated when the inevitable change happened. And he selfishly abandoned the leadership of the country after a limited term, instead of assuming President-for-life status as many others in his position in Africa have done.
One word racist dipshits: Rhode….whoops, Zimbabwe.
Tayls Man, hero blogger, reports that he is worried that other people having RSS feeds of his blog might be violating the spirit of his copy rights. After all, if someone else makes the free material on his free blog freely available, how will he or Fight On ever make any money re-selling the free text that he previously published for free? Do Talys Man a favor and don’t read his blog.

Doesn’t he understand how the blOwSR Turdosphere works? Copy. Paste. Regurgitate. Copy. Paste. Regurgitate. Pull something from Fate Core or other modern story game from the last ten years into a retroclone and pretend you’ve invented something new. Copy. Paste. Regurgitate.
So, what he terms “re-distribution” is actually just changing the device that the information is displayed upon — Kindle V screen? Derps the mind.

Hilarity ensues as the socially retarded unblown masses of Dragonsfart try to outdo each other with ways to torture and kill Baby Jessica. I guess if the baby’s corpse floats, at least they will know she wasn’t a witch. How much XP is a baby worth anyway?

Alexis reminds us that having fun in the SERIOUS FUCKING GAME is for pussies.
http://tao-dnd.blogspot.com/2013/12/fuck-this-rose-shit.html
So if you are having fun it is obvious that you are doing it wrong or have some sort of mental defect you nostalgia blind moron.
“I must apologize for not writing more clearly.”
You forgot ‘and succinctly’ you vanity press pseudointellectual Asperger twat!
Is Alexass so socially retarded that he doesn’t even recognize that people are still having fun in every example he gives to the contrary? Even at the hypothetical party Alexass mentions, just because he isn’t having fun at the soiree because of his mental disorder, doesn’t mean the rest of the party isn’t. Forget the rose-colored glasses and just take of those big, nerdy Aspie Coke bottle lenses you are sporting.
Roleplaying GAME. Game. GAME.
Games are supposed to be fun you fat fuck.
I think, for Alexis, “fun” must equate to “funny” or “humorous.” Of course, for most people (including those that write dictionaries), “fun” means “enjoyment.” People can “enjoy” an activity even though they do not smile, laugh, or otherwise express glee during said activity. Competition can be fun (sports), physical exertion can be fun (rock climbing), even fear can be fun (roller coasters). I don’t think there’s much enjoyment in Alexis’ life; however, he says some “funny” things in his post (and by “funny,” I mean “batshit crazy.”)
“sordidly humping the air like an [sic] Californian prat on the fucking Tunisian tour of Star Wars film locations” Wow, there’s a lot of hate in that phrase.
“there are ways to get the party arguing about something meaningless and time-wasting” How can anything in Alexis’ campaign be meaningless and time-wasting? Alexis wasn’t PREPARED; he’s not taking D&D SERIOUSLY enough.
“admit that if there was no kindergarten teacher we would have spend [sic] our fifth year of life gouging out the eyes of our childhood peers like bloodthirsty animals” Holy mother of mongoloids, I wouldn’t wish Alexis’ childhood on anyone.
Alex has a lot of hate. Somewhere in his archive is a post where he seems to go on and on about how horrible his parents are because when they gave his wife (or “wife”? can’t remember what his arrangement is) a music encyclopedia for Christmas it was merely a single-volume encyclopedia instead of the multi-volume variety of which he and his female partner were somehow much more deserving. Cheap bastids.
“a post where he seems to go on and on”
No man has worked harder to elevate bloviation to an art form.
48 Hours is a goddamn great film. It was made back in 1982 when no-one gave a flying fuck what films women wanted to see. Nick Note is so like me it freaks me out except I am much smarter than he is, although he does have better hair.
Director: Cut! Jesus Nick will you take it easy. You are supposed to be *acting* violent. These people are *actors* not *real criminals*.
Nolte/Kent: Shut the fuck up. Im in charge here. Get me some Bourbon. Where’s my fucking hairbrush?
HAHAHAHA! FAG!
Kent should stick to what he does best. Sadly the OsR is currently suffering from a relative scarcity of wheel-chair bound porn-starlets for him to wish baboon gangrape on while indulging in a bit of cross-gender impersonation.
Kent, you really ought to share your profound thoughts on the cinema with your blog audience. Oh, what’s that? You’ve taken down your blog again? That’s a good indicator that you have nothing to say. Another indicator you have nothing to say is that you leave a comment on YDIS about how much you identify with Nick fucking Nolte. Ah, you’re just having fun is it? Why don’t you and Alexis collaborate on a definition of “fun”? (Hint: It does not involve you seeking attention with inane comments.)
Kent can’t be bothered with trivialities of running a blog, he’d rather ride the coattails of YDIS than put forth effort on his own. And speaking of coattails, I wonder how much traffic Alexis’s blog has garnered from all the attention he generates from here?
I wonder if this place can now boast more retards than Dragonsfoot.
Only if we count all your aliases separately, Ms. Williams.
Everyone’s favorite black magic Odin yodeler, Greyhawk Grognard laments that lost in the ‘hullabaloo’ of Nelson Mandela’s death you might have been unaware of the passing of a prolific sci-fi author, Colin Wilson. Not that Mr. Wilson was listed in Appendix N, wrote anything gaming related but our boy in black doesn’t let an opportunity pass without giving a back handed comment concerning all the media attention over the death of a man opposite the political spectrum from himself, he also manages to slip in a Nietzsche reference.
Genius.
Maybe he shouldn’t have been so quick to remove his political blog links from his gaming blog. Seems like he has a lot of steam to vent out from under that black turtle neck.
I am now 99.9999% certain that he is the Nazi pig fucker Mjollnir from Dragonsfart. I have informed Mossad.
I regret to inform you that you’re wrong on both counts. First, I am not affiliated in any way with GreyhawkGrognard, second since I only let your mom give me a blowjob, I’m not technically a pigfucker.
I’m sure we’d all like to forget this summer’s debacle where TSR’s resident frog, Bruce Heard led an army of devoted crusaders against an Australian cancer surviving housewife and her books that Wizards didn’t even bother to give a half shit about. And by forget I mean we would like to forget how that even became an issue; let us always remind Brannan that he’s not just a lesbian-witch trapped in a man’s body, he’s practically a Vichey nark himself.
So Bruce Heard is about to debut his kickstarter for World of Calidar and the explorations of the airship RIP-OFF. More Princess Ark stuff he couldn’t technically make under the Princess Ark. Maybe if he just self-published it he could, but that would require shelling his money when he could easily get some from KS.
http://bruce-heard.blogspot.com/2013/12/KS02.html – the Kickstarter begins tomorrow. I’m not suggesting anyone going overboard but it might be a good idea to watch the development just in case Bruce starts ripping more stuff off from Mystara and we need to step in to protect Wizard’s IP.
Well noted. An IP may be copied, pasted, regurgitated, and repeated, but it must never under any circumstances be stolen!
I wonder if anyone wants to guess where Bruce will land in the spectrum of TSR luminaries turned OSR Kickstarter publisher. Are we looking at another Mike Nystul, where he takes the money and runs back to France? He’s made comments how much he loves the Mediterranean sun over Wisconsin cold. Or are we going to see another Monte Cook? A self-important, impotent twat that at least released Numenera without major incident.
Good call on the Monte Cook thing. Don’t want to be subjected to comments? Get off interwebz, pussy! Honestly, these gaming “auteurs” are so motherfucking entitled! OSR or not, it’s a massive social-media circle jerk–no civilians allowed! Self-referential, narcissistic faggots.
By the way, in the 12/9 Dwimmermount video, did anyone notice the furtive, goblinesque British dude, webcamming from near-darkness? Ten to one, that guy is wearing tighty-whiteys beneath the desk.
I’m thinking he’s got major wood straining out his mom’s pink Hanes Her Ways
I asked Arneson’s Spectre to kill himself because he is a sick fuck and no-one likes him. However, he still seems to be knocking about so if someone knows him and wants to go ahead and kill him I’ll pay them one euro.
HAHAHAHAHA! FAG!
Where’s your holiday spirit, Kunt?
Oh Kent’s been getting his stocking stuffed, if you know what I mean!
Spot on about Monte Cook.
Just an idea:
How about we make this Friday the 13th a very special Fudgepack Friday with an “Assrape Kent for a dollar(or the equivalent in your country) Extravganza”, with all proceeds going to our favorite goth chick, Mandy Morbid. All us YDISers can show we can give back to the OSR, Mandy gets money, and Kent’s Rectum gets cock! Win/win/win!
Fatty, about to journey to other worlds
Don’t exit this world, Fatty.
Never fear, I make these extraterrestrial/interplanar trips on a regular (almost nightly) basis. (Ever since I obtained “the real power” playing D&D.) I usually find my way back in a reasonable amount of time.
So what’s this I hear about assraping Kent? Don’t get a brother’s hopes up for nothing, now!
Since we all love Dickstarter so much, I am sure everyone here will be pleased and honored to support Ass Nasticus as he launches his second module. I read about it on the OSR resident po-po blog, Turdkar. Seems they have a mutual admiration society.
While I am a bit troubled by Ass’s inability to make money appear out of thin air (given his stated position that if you believe it, it becomes true), but nonetheless I am sure we will all give generously. See Turdkar’s blog for the link, that poor boy needs web traffic as well.
Death to all PCs!
Venger Assnasty Santanis is cool because (a) he has a tough souding name that tells you he is not to be trifled with and (b) he is very eloquent and engaging, as will be obvious to anyone who listens to his KS pitch. His head also looks like a penis, which women like.

Uh oh, Spaghetti-O’s! The Unblown are making their New Years resolutions. As you might guess, losing a lot of unsightly flab and wasting less money on gaming bullshit are at the top of the dipshit lists.

Yeah, getting a real job and getting laid are probably dancing in a lot of these losers heads much like sugar plums in the heads of children in the 1800’s.

FUDGE PACK FRIDAYS: SPECIAL KUNT EDITION
I’d fuck Kent up the ass with a fire hydrant wrapped in barbed wire. Sideways.
I am not convinced that would get his attention.
Following Fatty’s wonderful suggestion, I purchased ‘Bad Myrmidon’ (although I think ‘Morbid Myrmidon’ would have been a much better title).
Eagerly, I perused the wilderness encounter written by Raggi. Without spoiling it too much, it involves a 14th level fighter with Down Syndrome. However, Raggi neglects to supply either the effects of Down Syndrome in D&D terms or the stats for the NPC. This is the quality of Raggi’s contribution. Raggi = lazy fuck (although we knew that)
In the spirit of the season, I would like to donate my Kent Assrapes to the Irish Society for Indigent LGBT Persons.
Next paycheck, I’m buying Morbid Myrmidon. But just to piss off Kent and have something to talk shit about, not because I have any morally redeeming characteristics, just so we’re clear here.
So…an adventure created to help a disabled person has a politically incorrect encounter with a disabled person? Goddamn these fucking freaks are the drizzling shits (ironically that is also something Zak has to help clean-up off the bedsheets every night – wacka wacka!).
Ow wow. It’s like they are challenging you to give less of a fuck.
Perdustin, allow me to supply you with a homebrew Down’s Syndrome Template i’ve been keeping on my pc for just such an occasion. It is in 3.5 style though, so you will have to do some conversion, but this is in the spirit of the OsR.
I might bring out a deluxe supplement on Kickstarter compatible with Labyrinth Lord, OSRIC, Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerors of Hyborea, RuneQuest, Traveller, Vampire the Masquerade, Monopoly, Call of Duty: Ghost Protocol and Tag but that is only for backers who donate 100 $ or more. It shall be named the Liber Insulsi, and will contain templates for retards, mongoloids, lepers, and Kent.
Down’s Syndrome Template(mongoloids)
HD: As base creature.
AC: +1 political (in)correctness bonus.
Attacks: As Base creature. 1 natural weapon as slam attack appropriate for creature of its size.
Abilities: Str +4 Dex -2 Con +2 Int -6 Wis -4 Cha +2(retards are adorable)
Very Special Abilities:
A Sucker is born every minute(ex): Whenever a Down’s Syndrome Creature is targeted by a Kickstarter campaign from an OsR luminary of quasi-famous rank or higher, the creature must immediately succeed at a Will Save(DC 10+maximum number of times Gary’s Robe was touched in one month+number of Basic or AD&D modules published under TSR + half number of OsR modules published) or be forced to support it. If the Kickstarter is obviously failing, a scam, or of obviously inferior quality to what was promised, the Down’s Syndrome Creature is allowed another saving throw every month the product is overdue. The DC increases by +2 for each saving throw after the first. This effect is cumulative.
If the OsR luminary contributed to Dragon Magazine at some point, the DC is doubled.If the OsR luminary actually played in Geneva, the Down’s Syndrome creature automatically fails its save. This is a mind-affecting effect.
Gamer Stockholm Syndrome: Whenever the Down’s Syndrome creature is under the effect of A Sucker is born every minute and defending its OsR Luminary, the creature gains Logic Resistance 20 and a further +2 denial bonus to all saving throws, attacks and damage.
Saves: As base creature.
Habitat: The OsR.
CR: As base creature +1
Vibes for not using the term “retard strength.” Unless you did.
Thank you. I think of Kent as a sub-class of Leper, but that’s just my opinion.
Wait Kent’s an actual person?! I always thought that he was an enormous jizz soaked turd with extraordinary language facility that somehow got a hold of a computer with an internet connection. Weird.
Dwindlemount posts official update on KS page, backers tell them to eat it..
“I find the recent updates meaningless and vague to the point of being irrelevant – they suggest to me that you are avoiding accepting and confronting the reality that this project is very severely fucked up and not actually progressing; and also that nobody on the project team has any idea how to get things back on track. “
I don’t understand how these guys function in the real world: if you’re stymied by how to cut ‘n’ paste spell descriptions, what can you manage? Tavis looks as if he is suffering a continuous aneurysm. The one guy hasn’t changed out of his Boba Fett jacket in months. Is Pookie human or a Ligottian marionette? The other dude is mute with a 1000-yard stare.
Which of them shoots up a school first?
Tavis’ helpful response:
“This weekend I’m helping Alex make an assessment of where the project is and what else needs to be done”
Maybe after another year of assessing where the project is, someone will actually fucking do something.
Nobody there has a clue how to do anything.
If Dumbermount ever gets released, it will be the biggest anticlimax the unblown have ever seen.
I wish more people would realise that Dwindledust was unpublishable from the get-go. I have years and years of notes myself and, looking at them from time to time, there is absolutely no way they could be published as usable material for anyone besides me. Shit that I just have in my head and not written down, details and such, shit that I just wing is all just implied by what I write down. From what I’ve seen of this project, that’s all it ever was.
Yet at the same time, what is so flummoxing is that other people have managed to publish mega-dungeons in a fraction of the time Dwimmerdull apparently costs. Even if the end product is nothing and indeed, can be nothing like what was envisoned by the Pope, any idiot making shit up would still have been able to publish it long before this.
Therein lies the rub. Tavis and co are completely devoid of imagination, a swift perusal of ACKS is proof enough of that. It’s D&D for accountants.
My theory is that it’s like trying to publish an improv routine, or performance art. The whole thing started as a think piece about how the referee should make things up on the spot. Of course they can’t write it up in a way that would be ‘true’ to this ‘vision’.
Now it is Zeno’s Arrow, forever halfway to completion….
I think that failed Kickstarters can be performance art (or underperformance art if you prefer).
It’s been several weeks since I’ve seen anything new from Bloodymage. They say No News is Good News, but Blooey has always been the exception that proves the rule. No Polyhedracon news, no Polly Dragon, no Polly Eggs, no CC2 technology struggles. I sure hope he hasn’t exited this world.

This autobiographical blog post from Rob Kuntz sure explains a lot:
http://hillcantons.blogspot.com/2011/08/no-borders-or-limits-conversation-with.html
I always pegged Rob Kuntz for an overly self-important hack with narcissistic delusions of grandeur, but it turns out he is actually a sociopath. This is great news?
You didn’t mention that there’s an upcoming issue of Fight On! dedicated to the magical Kuntz career! I assume that half of it will be unreadable screeds about how brilliant Kuntz is, and the other half will be empty pages.
For someone who claims he has an insanely good memory and pays close attention to details, Kuntz is an idiot:
“Take a close look. The majority of companies release their RPG rules and then what? Adventures. Scads of them.”
That’s simply inaccurate. Many, many RPG companies–including some of the big ones like White Wolf–release very few adventures. It’s really on WotC and Paizo that release lots of adventures (I’m not counting the companies who *only* exist to publish adventures).
I’m still reading this; it’s a treasure trove of asshattery.
It seems like Kuntz, like all of the other OSR idiots, will not blame Gygax for (1) pushing to codify rules in order to make them authoritative, or (2) encouraging the publishing of adventures. Both of those things defy OSR purity for gaming, and yet their hero St Gary was behind both of them.
That was actually from a couple of years ago, I think we panned it here at the time. Interestingly, Kuntz posted a follow-up on his own blog where he painted the interviewer as a drunkard:
http://lordofthegreendragons.blogspot.com/2011/08/court-martial-of-hiller-c-ranton.html
There were a lot of comments delted from that post, edited by Kuntz to make himself appear less of a cunt.
Warning! Comment Section presents a Class 5 moral safety hazard to all personnel without at least 9 months of experience in handling flagrant masturbation, self-congratulatory comments, a tear-jerking requiem to the slowly dwindling group of One True Gamers who truly Get It, reaching around and snarky condescension while bemoaning their lot as the last remnants of a great age. Ensure strict adeherance to safety protocols. Warning!
There’s some serious crazy going on there with Kuntz. Not surprising, considering his mother was a mental patient most of her life. Explains why he’s a Tea Party Libertarian too.
I am saddened that you missed reposting/rehasing my own childish and idiotic reply to that: http://hillcantons.blogspot.com/2011/08/mission-accomplished.html .
Not one of my better moments.
That is a far more dignified reply than Mr. Creative Dissident’s pathetic and intellectually bankrupt invocation of nazism deserved.
My bad for missing that.
You’re in the trust tree here, you can be honest: what was the approximate number of times you rolled your eyes at one of Rob’s responses? If that number is too large to estimate, then just give an estimate of eye-rolls-per-minute or something.
“It’s been several weeks since I’ve seen anything new from Bloodymage. They say No News is Good News, but Blooey has always been the exception that proves the rule”
Shhhhh….Blooey go sleepy time now. He’s gearing up and mustering his strength of will to get a new round of Shitstarters and IndeiBlowBlow’s in the coming year. Like great nature documentarians, we have to hang back for awhile and hide a good distance out in the bush before the beast rears it’s head into the sunlight to get it’s business underway. I know it’s like a kid waiting painfully for Christmas, but I think we will eventually be well rewarded if we stay away from that nest for awhile. Let the Pollyeggs get laid, my brutha.
Meanwhile, maybe a better bed check would be on surfing/cooking/gardening/game genre-jumping under the radar huckleberry blogger Christian. After a long spurt of yawn-inducing posts about brick a brack and weirdo World of Darkness NPC’s based on people he has met (his long time fetish), he has suddenly gone all radio silence. It’s not like attention starved no talents to suddenly up and go invisible. Something is up with the poor fella. Forget Blooey; lets hope Christian hasn’t exited this world.
http://unknownzine.blogspot.com/
Nah, Christian can exit this world anytime he likes if he wants. Nobody would notice either way.

80some People Owe You An Apology
So +John Stavropoulos finally finished his exhaustive, 10 months-long, unbelievably Lawful Good research into whether 80 RPG freelancers and commenters (many of them his friends) actually are taking what they say about rape online seriously.
Basically: months ago, Ben Lehman (author of tedious RPG products) claimed James Desborough (author of different tedious RPG products) was “Someone who threatens their critics with rape”
Now I hope I don’t get an argument when I say this isn’t something you just casually toss out there .
Right?
Even if it was an honest mistake–you really really check first before saying someone did something that shitty in a public place.
Right?
Like: this is an ethical standard you hold yourself to
The short of Jon’s research is this accusation turned out to be bullshit even though 80some people +1ed it and it got shared all over the RPG internet.
Now Jon didn’t name names, because he “doesn’t want a witchhunt”. Which is respectable. But I’m not Jon and I do think the RPG community as a whole deserves an apology from every single one of these people for confusing and distorting a very real and very serious issue of real violence that actually affects peoples’ lives.
I also think the RPG community deserves to know who they cannot trust in conversations about ethics. Anyone on the list below who hasn’t apologized has the opportunity to do that now.
Or at the very least Un-Plus One Ben Lehman’s totally irresponsible public bullshit.

Here are the results of Jon’s attempt to dig down to the facts:
https://plus.google.com/+JohnStavropoulos/posts/2YEADUV2Bua
This is Jon talking
”
Final Update:
I’ve gone through many emails, links, and messages on this subject.
To review:
—————————
1. James has been accused of allegedly threatening his critics with rape.
—————————
2. James has been accused of allegedly being a rape apologist.
—————————
3. These are serious allegations and as someone with friends and family who have been raped, I don’t take this topic lightly.
—————————
4. There is a track record of people spreading misinformation about James. One clear example, there was a petition against James that included libel.
—————————
5. I don’t know James, I don’t care for his work, and I disagree with many of his opinions (for example, I’m strongly in favor of anti-harassment policies at conventions, have written several, and have implemented many). I’m not here to defend James. James was one of the first people I blocked on G+ for reasons unrelated to any of this (he made fun of vegetarians).
—————————
6. I’m personally disturbed by the seemingly vast number of people who seemingly accepted the above allegations as seemingly truth or who strongly suspect these allegations are false but have said nothing.
—————————
6. As a potential consumer of products and services from companies affiliated with James and as someone who is very aware how these topics can destroy people’s lives, I would like to know what is going on.
—————————
7. So I asked anyone to send me proof. In this thread. In email. Anonymously. In any way that anyone is comfortable with.
—————————
8. I’m going to present what I know and move on from this topic. Don’t ask more from me. I’ve dedicated a lot of time to it, and have chosen to end several friendships because of it.
—————————
9. This is NOT a witch hunt. I’m not going to name names. This isn’t about shaming. Part of the point of this thread is to fight against potential witch hunts (which some have alleged that James may have been the target of). I’m not an attorney, judge, or jury, and my words are primarily opinion. You should make up your own minds.
—————————
10. The rules for this thread still stand, don’t post unless you have proof.
—————————
That all said, I’ve received several links in this thread that I’ve reviewed and you can read about in detail above. Additionally, I’ve received many more emails on this topic.
Let me flat out, in the clearest way possible state:
I have received NO information that proves, in my opinion, that James has allegedly threatened his critics with rape.
Unfortunately, the rape apologist allegation is much more complicated and the more I look into it, confusing. Why?
The definition for rape apologist seems to vary substantially and it’s often unclear what definition someone is using.
One (of many) definition is that a rape apologist is someone who argues that rapists have no control over the sexual temptation they experience in response to the victim, therefore the victim could have avoided awakening the irresistible rape temptation by behaving differently. From what I’ve seen, I don’t think it is reasonable to accuse James of any of this. But we don’t know what definition of rape apologist someone is using.
Another (fairly different) definition is that a rape apologist is someone who communicates that rape isn’t really rape or claims that allegations of rape are untrue or exaggerated. Some have claimed that James may match this definition because of statements here, http://talesofgrim.wordpress.com/2013/06/21/kickstart-your-tart/, specifically: “I’m sure RAINN does a lot of good work but they’re mostly known – to me – for their promotion of what appear to be vastly inflated rape statistics. I am deeply uncomfortable with my objection to the project having lead, indirectly, to funding an organisation that seems to use and abuse poor statistics. I don’t, personally, believe that you need to inflate the figures. Rape is a horrible crime and making people more afraid than they need to be doesn’t help.” and James links to a controversial news article http://goo.gl/HuCk7 which contains problematic content (an article which makes me personally uncomfortable), but it’s impossible from James’ blog post to determine if James agrees with the specifics of that news article, or if he is simply linking to it to explain his hesitation with RAINN itself.
Another (again, fairly different) definition is that a rape apologist is someone who is an apologist for rape culture (which we would need to nail down exactly what rape culture means to argue this point as this terms also has several definitions that many don’t agree on) and may not be a direct apologist for rape itself. This definition is so potentially large and potentially vague that you could potentially accuse many people of various degrees of supporting rape culture or being a rape apologist for rape culture. It’s very difficult, using these definitions, for me to make any definitive judgments on this topic.
Given the vagueness of what rape apologist might mean, I don’t want to potentially add to any potential misinformation to this topic, so I won’t. I’m going to move away from the whole rape apologist thing and concentrate on the more serious primary allegation.
While rape apologist may be an unclear term, alleging that James has threatened his critics with rape, is not in my opinion, unclear at all. So let me repeat again, in the clearest way possible:
I have received NO information that proves, in my opinion, that James has allegedly threatened his critics with rape.
Does that mean there is no proof to be found? No. But I don’t have any proof to offer and no one I know has it or is willing to share it. And given the seriousness of these allegations, I feel VERY uncomfortable with people alleging such things with such absolute statements and no information to back them up. Given that, I’ve been moved to do all this work and share it with you. Additionally, I’ve chosen to end several friendship because of this.
Rape is a serious real problem that affects many people and there is already too much misinformation around rape and it already can be so difficult to prove, that I feel it is important we do what we can to fix these problems. But potentially false allegations, in my opinion, only make this serious problem, worse. And while it is convenient for many to look the other way, I will not.
Never forget,
the standard you walk past, is the standard you accept.

interesting…about a third of that list are already blocked by me (they dont show as links but rather as text in the list)
I dont know enough about the players to have a strong opinion other than…putting words, especially actionable words, into someone’s mouth can bite you on the ass.
I also disagree that by not joining in the fray on one side or another that I am somehow condoning something.
Eric BoydYesterday 5:47 PM
Heh, I don’t get this kinda hyperbole. I just needed these to block him, and he said this stuff out loud: “thinks rape is an excellent character motivation and plot point, from an authorial perspective.” “thinks over-reporting rape is a problem (and I think he’s concern trolling here.)”

Thanks for this. It’s easy to throw a +1 down on a friend’s post reflexively and assume due diligence is the default. Sometimes, especially when it comes to accusations this serious, it’s important to remember that extreme claims require extreme evidence.
Thanks, +John Stavropoulos, for going the extra mile to prove the innocence of someone regardless of your personal feelings toward them. That’s true justice. I’m sorry for what it cost you.
+James Desborough, I don’t know you, or anything about you, and I was wrong to assume claims made about you were true even though they came from a trusted source. You have my apology.
+Ben Lehman, I haven’t known you to be the kind of person who would make spurious claims, and I don’t think you did it with malice, just for the record.

The problem here is that I think some people have confused “I don’t like James Desborough” with “I can approve of decidedly incorrect character assassination of James Desborough”; and that some of the same people would now think that what they are being asked to do is apologize for disliking James Desborough.
No one (I think) is saying “you must like James Desborough”, and no one is asking you to apologize for not liking him. You are being asked to apologize for lending your support to decidedly false statements (ie. for lying) about James Desborough, which is quite a different thing.

+Barry Blatt is right. More than adding credence, it helps spread the lie thanks to the way that Google uses +1s to publish things into other people’s feeds. Taking away the +1 is not an empty gesture, it’s the bare minimum someone can do to stop spreading a vicious defamation. Like it or not, Google itself gives weight to what gets +1s.

Perhaps it is me, and I normally don’t wade into these discussions, but I think this is important.
But a witch hunt is only bad because witches don’t exist (at least not as depicted in the accusations) and thus they are always false claims.
If someone really was flying around at night abducting children and grinding them into stew before committing genocide by giving an entire populace the black death, then it wouldn’t be a bad thing to set them on fire.
Witch hunts are bad because you are taking an innocent person and convicting them of a terrible crime based on public opinion instead of evidence or facts (which by the nature of a witch trial don’t exist).
+Tom Zunder , I don’t know you and you may be an awesome bloke who simply reacted with emotion to a truly chilling accusation.
But you are not being accused of doing something terrible based upon whether or not other people like you or think you make an easy scapegoat.
You are being accused of doing something based on what appears to be very solid evidence.
That is not a witch hunt. That is something you really did.

+Josh Elliott This is that something. And you’re being given the chance to do something too. We all make mistakes, even if they were very long ago they’re still mistakes. And in a community where our words are saved and kept semi-permanently as records, even long ago mistakes can have effect.
A. Miles DavisYesterday 8:27 PM
I find this utterly fascinating, but Mr. Jon S has had me blocked for quite some time, likely because I said something awful to his friends, the ones who he has found to be at fault.
Of course, I’m not particularly following James either just because his wordplay isn’t my style.
But I certainly appreciate when cooler heads can prevail and everyone can just go back to disliking each other on honest terms instead of spreading lies.

So there are actually people, including Ettin (big surprise there!) actually doubling down on a vicious lie, as if to say “we know he didn’t say it, but because we don’t like him we want to imagine this is the sort of thing he would say; if he was the boogeyman we’ve created in our head to discredit him and the kind of RPG gaming we despise that we’ve decided he somehow represents”.

I really shouldn’t post but hey. I am not at all surprised by the reaction on rpg.net and elsewhere. This campaign of Zak’s is a very confrontational and censorious approach to take and some people object to that and support freedom to speak and also to make mistakes. It is that spirit of freedom and free speech and benefit of the doubt that made me support Grim on many occasions. So I am sad, since what this is becoming is a tribal flamewar, a dying skirmish of a truly sad original witch hunt.

Zak, in my repost of Lehman it was pointed out to me by Mark Cunningham that the writer wasn’t threatened by Desborough. I added “It is true; she received a ton of rape threats from his fans but says none of them were from Desborough.”
I’m not aware of any further information from Lehman about rape threats to critics.
Next time there’s an issue, I hope you ride it as hard. Say, like, the 10 billion women who get rape and death threats. I’ve gotten them by the truckloads and I didn’t even write a lot of creepy fucking books about rape first.

anybody who wants to share it publicly can go right ahead it’s not a secret. I just figured I’d give people here named the right to defend themselves or retract their mistake before making their reality-problems googlable.
The people who blocked me obviously don’t get this benefit because they can’t see the post, but those people are worthless anyway.
Add a comment…
Aaaah, that was enjoyable…!
So, this John (Jon ?) Stavropoulos person accuses Desborough of making fun of vegetarians, but he provides NO evidence to support this claim. Therefore, anyone who quotes Stavropoulos on Google+ is evil and unethical because the Internet is sacred! Only truthful, verifiable (and unexaggerated) statements should be allowed on social media. People who falsely accuse Desborough of being a sick, deranged fuck who enjoys watching people eat meat need to be ostracized because their actions are irresponsible and harmful to civilization.
God damn, not sure what is worse, Zak as a Jaubert-esque warrior for “ethics” or the slugs falling over themselves to blow him for it.
So that old post from July started at +79 this morning, two begged for mercy and now it’s at +98? Just so we’re clear on how well the latest stunt is working out.
I don’t use G+ but it seems like this whole thing would be some kind of TOS violation, no? Why not just turn him in?
I love how Zak is so socially retarded that he doesn’t get that at his level of pompous confrontational BS someone might go and +1 the comment he didn’t like just to express something along the lines of:
“Fuck you, fuckyoufuckyoufuckyou, you little fucking shit-stain, you don’t like my +1!? Huh!? Then why don’t you come down here and make me change it you limp-wristed horsefucking bastard!?”

Whenever I see Zak attack, it reminds me so much of Bjorks brutal assault on that reporter bitch in Hong Kong. Just pretend the kid on the tram is Mandy, and the assaulted party is somebody on the phag phorums disagreeing with him (shit, sometimes agreeing with him).
I’ve never seen that, looks like our little Icelandic pixie going all Grettir Ásmundarson on her ass. Reporter’s lucky she didn’t carve the blood eagle into her.
Wouldn’t it have been cool if she whipped out a guitar from the tram, like Quickdraw Mcdraw, and did the ol’ “El Kabong” on the ladies head?
Whats fun about the clip is that you can see the exact moment the little pixie ball-buster’s mind snaps (you actually can hear a “ping” if you listen real close) and she makes the decision to go for the kill. Aside from the facial tell, pretty swift and sudden brutality. “How do you like Hong Kong?” lady should have sued.
“More stunned than injured” sums up a lot of his slap fights fucking nicely but that is amazing.
It’s like, RETARD FIGHT!
Ettin in one corner, Zak S in the other. I hope this keeps going on for awhile as I am pulling up a lawn chair and making popcorn.
What is so tantalizingly fascinating about this whole thing is that it has no winners. It’s morally outraged backwards liberal hippy manchildren getting outraged about trival things and using scare tactics vs morally outraged backwards liberal hippy manchildren getting outraged about trivial things using scare tactics.
Just nice to see a lot of folk, especially females, who have no particular axe to grind but feel ol’ Pokemon-haired Zak is a piece of steaming dog shit. “cause porn stars u guise.” Awesomeness.
I think Zak better wise up and take the nice guy approach from here on in. He is never going to see the attention he gets in the blOwSR in other avenues or hobbies he has. This is it. And I sort of feel a big backlash is eventually headed his way for being a prick in general, and his cult of losers is not going to be enough to stop it.
Also, it should be said that Zak’s style of blogging horseshit seems to indicate that he spends pretty much all his time on the interweb ‘blogging the good blog’ in the insular BLOWSR fart-sniffing circles. It’s really the only sort of place where shit like this flies. I spend shitloads of time online discussing other stuff like current events, politics and news and if I spent all my time chasing down +1s to comments I didn’t agree with then…I don’t even know, it’s just to stupid to imagine.
In summary, Zak is just another whiny self-important bitch, the exact kind of bitch that result from endless Google+ circlejerks about shit most people couldn’t give a shit about.
And not to keep piling on Zakie (well, OK, to totally keep piling on that sanctimonious bonehead), but whenever he speaks about “objectively” it’s exactly like listening to Alanis Morrissette screeching about irony, their mastery of those concepts being equal.
“their mastery of those concepts being equal”

Ben Lehman was a rape victim? I sure hope he was raped by a guy and isn’t one of those fags who claims to have been raped by a woman!
Dude, you can’t be raped by a woman! Once you pop that boner, you are in and committed to what comes next! And if you were “raped” by a woman, you are a complete pussy if you couldn’t punch that bitch off of you.
If you were raped by a guy then it counts as a legitimate rape. Was it Kent?
Then again, was it a fat chick shoving her fat hairy twat in your face and ordering you to eat her out despite the nasty smell of rotting fish? Fat chicks can be built like men so maybe I can give you a pass for legitimate rape, but you are still a pussy.
An update from Faggi on his projects – some nuggets:
“Kelvin Green has turned in everything for Forgive Us (formerly Horror Among Thieves), still needs editing, layout, etc.
Rients’ Broodmother has rough layouts completed and the art is starting in.
There are a couple other things floating around (Conley’s ECW sandbox, Brockie’s Towers Two) that are having work continue on to make them more than what they currently are.”
Well, holy shit. The “Now or Never” Grand Adventures campaign from 2012 might actually produce some “product” by 2014.
And that has got to be the most diplomatic Faggs has ever been with regard to the last two pieces of shit. Neither has any substance evidently (but it must have pained him to make that admission considering Tim “I work with kids!” Shorts murder-rapist Mary Sue character Conley let him write up. And honestly, it migh ttake a few years to get Conley’s bullshit edited, considering that most of his editors self immolate to preserve their sanity.
But seriously it is comforting that 1.5 years after a now-or-never campaign (a dishonest marketing gimmick that Faggs cannot bring himself to address) two of those adventures are finally to the needs-editing-and-rough-layouts stage. Good luck on getting that Gwar faggot to show up.
But you know his little +1 bitches will pony up big time for the next indiebloblo “It’s now or never, folks!” campaign.

If Zak was his age in a rock band like Crazy Town or something, then his ridiculous look would fly. But he’s a shit artist who plays D&D and only got any attention because he has a slight porn connection (and where are the strippers?). And his forced attempts at confidence on camera are total fail, unless you are an Aspies having D&D dipshit. In that case you’d think he was the beez kneez! He has you all turned around, right Kuntington?
You are all free at any time to post links to your gaming material you are proud of.
I happen to think Zak’s material is crappy and he is a fearful control freak but he is much smarter and more articulate than you Boris Karloff look-a-likes and mentaloids.
I find it ironic that you find Zak’s material ‘crappy’ and seem fearful of his ‘control freak’ mentality but then you turn heel, prop him up against your critics and call him articulate and smarter than them. Zak is neither of those things. He drops f-bombs and is a self promoting, self congratulating, pretentious D&D playing dork who panders to the basest of whims.
Perhaps it is this type of thinking that has caused you to produce nothing either Kent. While you attempt to shame your tormentors by calling out for what they may have produced, you have produced nothing but excuses and an erstwhile blog for your own challenge.
I’m not sure you could do any better Kent in proving you are as worthless and pathetic as you seem too find the rest of us to be.
On second thought don’t bother. You have succeeded! You are the lowest of the low Kent. A pretender who can’t pretend and a producer who cannot produce. Revel in your moment.
kent, you are so complex.
Kunt, I liked you better about a month ago when it seemed your Meds were kicking in at 100% efficiency….

I WAS KING HERE ONCE by KUNT (aka Paul Barry). Download here and then discuss:
https://www.wuala.com/kensanata/Dokumente/1PDC%202009/
Obviously, Kent did not intend for this entry to be taken seriously; he was just having some fun. Why else would he include a ‘drawing’ by his nephew as an illustration? Other instances of levity include: the absence of horizontal scale, steps as a random encounter, a subterranean ‘window’, and a ‘Huge Crafty Beastman’ who is somehow able to sustain himself while waiting for prey to come along an unused corridor.
Also, “Fruiting fungus Stinkcock.”
Kent attempts cynically but in vain to appeal to Raggi Fans by including spiders that can give you diarrhea. He should have made the diarrhea animate and attack the infected character.
Gygaxian naturalism points for the Orc King Ghost that subsists entirely on a diet of marble doves and does nothing but harass winged gnomes all day.
Random encounters include magically appearing stairway covering fungus, which can be encountered even when the party is, in fact, not on a stairway. Presumably the stairways appear out of thin air?
Unusual pre-occupation with hands, groping, paralysing, grappling or otherwise.
Weird witch face goblins ritually chopping at duplicate orc kings is a good encounter. Ghoul faces in pool is a good encounter. Silver mask is a decent magic item.
Kent shows his lack of design experience by needlessly including a poorly drawn self-portrait of himself in his habitual saturday-evening attoire.
1/5 polearms.
Speaking of Raggs, I’ll just leave this here. Any excuse, I know, but I believe it to be relevant to our collective interest.

I’m calling it “The Catpiss Thread”
Gametards. They either love animals way too much, or else secretly wish them dead.
Cat piss, uncleaned litter boxes, ferrets, wet dogs. Filthy animals up on the table and getting their hair and feces all over the dice and miniatures. Throw in some poorly wiped butt cracks and it sounds like a real OSR stink fest. And apparently Freddy P wants to eat cats and dogs because he is at the top of the food chain. Not so much the top of the food chain but more like first in the line at the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet.
You morons, you remind me of Boris Karloff’s creations but you also come across like Creatures from the Black Lagoon.
“We are the Creatures from the Black Lagoon,” you say. “People want to know what we think.”
Kent, when can we expect a sequel to “I Was King Here Once”? Will it feature orc-ghoul dongs that paralyze, then sodomize?
Not to say that every guy who has/has had a cat (or 5) is a fag, but I think it is yet another indictment of gamer dudes in general is that the overwhelming majority of them much prefer cats to dogs. It may have a bit to do with them living in tiny shitbox apartments or their parents basements and it’s an issue of having room for them, but I just think the lamest and pussiest of gamers grew up more with cats than dogs. If your dad was at least half a man, and owned dogs when you grew up, then you are probably more of a man than your gametard bretheren and are a dog lover.
I’m a disgusting “animals all over the place” person. My dog is one of my best friends and my ferrets are basically my children. But I loathe my girlfriend’s cats beyond words and if they were being eaten by a python, I’d roll over and go back to sleep. Cats suck.

“Haha….I love that screen! I’ll post a buff pic behind it in the summer—- I am one of the weirdos that takes his shirt off all the time. Lucky for me all my players are friends of mine haha! The new players get a warning that my shirt come off at some point in the game!”
Yeah, cuz there’s nothing like a bit of forced homo/autoerotic display to set new players at ease…
I love that one of those fat fuckers told the guy who has been working out that his pictures were disgusting. Because looking like the Goblin King from The Hobbit is so sexy.
Never go to the forums at bodybuilding.com. Not that you would. But every profile pic is some dude with his shorts pulled down almost to the base of his cock.
Well, I just tried to post this and it didn’t seem to work. Either I fucked it up or maybe this website has finally figured out that my email address is not really suckit@suckit.com. Anywho…

Forget: I think there is just a delay on posts when there are iffy email addresses (like we all use).
That selfie thread is one of my all time faves. I’m suprised both by how many fat, bald fucks have posted pics in the past (usually holding a gee-tar so we know they are cool rock stars), and also by how normal some of the biggest douche bags look. At one point guys started including pics of their fat bitches. The most hideous of course do not post pics. I’d give a double saw buck to see what Paladines Angel, Nagora, and our new friend Freddy P looks like.
Merry Christmas, ya pricks. Kunt, try not to deep throat too many spotted dicks this year!
Merry Christmas! xoxo

Where do intelligent woman hang out online. They sure as fuck are not into gaming.
No one is buying it, you gay cocksucker.
Sounds like you are purporting to be a cocksucker who isn’t gay.
You gonna let Alexis shit all over Tolkien like that?
He says LotR ‘made a good movie but the book is overwritten shit’.
‘made a good movie’ he says.
No one challenges him on his blog that he knows nothing about fantasy literature – which is why there is no fantasy in his wiki-world-hex-sim.
==
He says, ‘Actually, Tolkein (sic) is, compared with Tolstoy, James, Dickens, Dafoe (sic), Dumas, Austen, Hawthorne, Emerson, Poe, Voltaire, Spenser and Shakespeare, rather juvenile, tiresome, obsequious, repetitive ‘
He lists those authors as if they were of the same standard. If Tolkien is a poor writer compared to Dumas or Defoe what need is there to list Tolstoy, Austen, Spenser and Shakespeare?
The Jackson LotR movies were wretched. But I remember him also saying that “Sucker Punch” was a cinematic masterpiece. And linking to diet advice re: sugar, which is like a paraplegic coaching the hurdles. And talking about exerting his charisma on women. And having some very weird opinions about the bonhomie and joie de vivre of blue collar folks.
So yeah. This is not about sex.
No one challenges him on his blog because he moderates comments and because there’s no good reason to care that much about his opinions.
I check in on his blog regularly because it’s the most consistently entertaining RPG blog I’ve seen. At one point I thought this blog was written by him to get traffic, as that was the only explanation I could think of for talking about him so much.
I suspect he’s much less confrontational in person.

He’s no pro when it comes to getting kicked off boards and forums; not like you, right Kuntington? Being unwanted and rejected is your schtick. I imagine not just in Lands of the Unblown, but in life in general.
Bra-fucking-vo to moderators who aren’t afraid to boot blOwSR luminaries out the door. Pieces of dog shit like Zak and Raggz need to be off the planet, not their critics and sparring partners.
You sound like someone who is terrified of getting the boot from forums so you kiss moderator butt even though you compulsively hate everyone connected with gaming.
‘Teacher! Teacher! You forgot to give us homework!’
Not just that kind of kiss-arse, but you say it as the stupidest guy in the class who takes the longest to do his homework.
lol
Right, CKDB certainly sounds like “someone who is terrified of getting the boot from forums.”
Can’t you come up with something better than that? Kent, what the fuck is wrong with you?
(Don’t bother answering that. I don’t have all day.)
Kent is a cocksucking fag.
The people who Zak “harasses” deserve every bit of criticism and scrutiny they receive because their actions have been downright shitty. Our hobby, and frankly the planet, would be better off without them.
Sounds like a beloved holiday classic, It’s a Raggiful Life. Every time a bell rings, poop comes to life and attacks the shitter.
Hidey Ho!
Wow, who knew that a gamer with preferences of misogyny, sodomy, and cannibalism would wish some of his fellow gamers dead?
But sadly, many others will be driven to buy his and Zak’s drek because they are EDGY AS SHIT. The world might be better of without those fucks and their drones – but far less mock-worthy. They are why this place exists.
One day the Creatures from the Greyish-Green Lagoon were discussing how much the humans, who lived far away in Society, loved to hear their judgements and opinions.
‘I have no doubt,’ said some freaky fishface, ‘that the humans hang on our every word.’ He paused to lick slime from a rock. ‘The Fishgod would be cruel if all our thoughts poured out on ydis were ignored by the humans.’
Suddenly a new Creature, Captain Kirk’s Dick Blood, approached the Greyish-Green Lagoon, ‘hallo, will you be my friends? I want to share my thoughts. I am so lonely.’ CKDB said.
‘Jesus look at that disgusting fuckface!’
‘Im going to be sick, he is so repulsive,’ said a fishface who had been happily licking a toad’s arse before he saw CKDB.
‘Run away !! Run away !!’
Before long the Creatures discovered a new home which they called The Black Lagoon. The Black Lagoon was in a secret place far from the unbearable stink of Captain Kirk’s Dick Blood, and his opinions. Captain Kirk’s Dick Blood became wrathful, and tilting down his head he looked up through his fishy-fuckface eyebrows at the camera. ‘The Hunchback of Notre-Dame never had it this bad,’ he growled at the camera, looking every bit the fat middle aged incredibly stupid psychopath just like in the documentaries.
Much better, but try not to be so autobiographical next time.
Nah, he’s not even trying anymore. It’s as if he’s phoning it in. Where is the brio, the panache? All those “Creature from the Black Lagoon” references in this thread betray a lack of creative spark. I believe Ernie Anastos has some sound advice for the boy.
Kent is one retarded homosexual.

Bus ridin’, smooth talkin’ FreddyP wants to know if the other Unblown like hot chicks. Some agree; others are old and don’t care no mo’. And fan fave Thorkhammer comes along (cue Cosmo Kramer applause) to sniff the estrogen (he’s floating along above the ground as a phantasmal, hand-shaped cloud of lovely, lovely estrogen beckons his nostrils)!
Gene Weigel chimes in with some off-the-wall observations:
“When you have too much contemporary on a regular basis its a killer.”
“I am sick to death of putting up with A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR’S COURT where I’m the keeper of all academia for a bunch of stumble bums. It should be the players’ job too. Thats the problem with post-modern D&D the players need to be involved in the medieval more than just quaffing mead and wearing a brooch.”
I’m sure it makes perfect sense to him.
Clearly, taking that selfie of him swinging a flail took him to the next level.
On this commentary, the term “anachronism” translates roughly as “jizz that some guy I know shot all over his Russian mail order bride catalog”…
PHFFFFFFFTTTT
Whats with all the Monte Cook hate all of a sudden?
Why can’t they leave that man alone!?!?!?
No seriously, fuck him. Ten years ago, I got some book by Monte Cook (Arcana Unearthed?) that Gygax endorsed and that was after souring out on Cook’s TOEE thing and some PDF of magic items.
Lets just say after perusing that “Monte gem” that I imagined Gygax like MAD MAGAZINE’s Captain Klutz accidentally wolfing down a bowl of cigarette butts when told how much money he’s getting for endorsing the cereal.
Wait, on this commentary lets say I imagined everyone with their thumbs up each other’s ass and not just manboobs but distended manginas purulent with smegma.
Alright, Monte is irrelevant. I don’t believe he can make anything worthwhile in fantasy gaming so why bother? Thats a valid opinion if the guy hasn’t done a single memorable monster and he acts like he’s the crown prince of D&D.
That said, whats up with the flail hate, motherfuckers? Was it the direction? No it was the lighting.
No, twas with each telling blow, I virtually drove it into the sickly spine of the BLOWSR and out the shit-stained Pokemon underwear of the anti-BLOWSR!!!
WAIT… I’VE GONE TOO FAR.
LET ME STEP BACK.
Honestly, I don’t even know why anyone would complain or defend about James Maliszewski. So maybe thats the Rosetta Stone for my enigmatic prose. Start there.
The secret you’ll discover is that I don’t give a flying shit what anybody thinks of my forum posts, I just show up for something to do. Theres certainly enough Gene Weigel forum to posts pick from over 15 years.
Heck, you can literally misquote them into a S&M porno novel if properly arranged… certainly enough “dungeon” and “sucks” in there for a real nailbiter!
We could bash Cook all day but what has Maliszewski done? Is there something to judge his talent? I’d like to see it.
You lost me at “On this commentary.”
Ah, Gene Weigel, the Dennis Rodman of gaming.
You won’t find any supporters of Malizewski here, dumbfuck.
And we don’t hate flails, we hate that they are demeaned by your posing with them.
I lose everyone so don’t bother finding the way back with me… 😉
————————————————————-
Dennis Rodman? Yeah, maybe in spirit lightly but he had a few moments on that Trump show where I couldn’t relate to him at all. I guess he’s a showboater and I’m just a boat… WITH LASERS…
————————————————————-
I wasn’t saying anyone was supporting him. I’m saying I want to know why its so important to take him down. He seems like an okay guy who fucked up a little.
As for flails, well… I lied… its an Annie Oakley wooden dildo with three spiked butt plugs…
Ha, I love that idiot that says he had access to porn as a little boy, so he always looked down on those who thought hot-chick-covers were cool. No wonder he is so self-confident.
That thread is just another sad-ass retard fight on that sad-ass forum.
How does Gene think Zak feels running games for morons who barely made it out of high school (if that)? Hmm…actually, maybe this is why he acts so superior. When he makes his dumbshit statements they just drool, nod, and maybe chug a cock instead of calling out his horse shit.
Postmodern D&D? I would classify most of what goes on here as Theater of the Absurd, which was Late Modernist, I think.
That reminds me, I’ve been meaning to write a series of modules based on the plays of Ionesco.
How do you forget that? Also, James M. already did Ionesco. Dwimmermount emphasized the insignificance of PCs by presenting a series of encounters they can’t interact with followed by symbolic room after dust-filled room representing the banality of it all.
I get more of a Krapp’s Last Tape vibe from Dwimmermount.
Holy shit, it is all a bit Waiting for Godot, isn’t it?
Then again, waiting for James MaLIEski and/or Autarch to actually publish Dwimmermount is also a bit Waiting for Godot, isn’t it?
OSR grand guignol, as it were — metaperformance as art.
Oh my. I go away for a month and see what I have to come back to!!! You boys just beggar imagination. Mommy ain’t pleased.
GOPagan just can’t control his partisan indoctrination. He removes the horse dong long enough to fart out some predictions for the new year, including a Republican resurgence (because they did such a great job last year in sabotaging government and health care):
http://greyhawkgrognard.blogspot.com/2013/12/2013-year-in-review.html
He also displays his typical humility when he refers to his Castle Greyhawk knock off as “long-awaited.” Hopefully, that will soon morph into “legendary”.
My favorite is :
“The OSR will see a tilt more towards supplements as opposed to self-contained rules. ”
wow….
Let’s see , between Cut,Copy,Paste,Regurgitate ad nauseam and the fact that in the last two years WotC has reprinted all the old rules sets from the LBB’s thru 1e in one form or the other, the boldness of that prediction is simply stunning…

I say that the dude should pay the overhead cause he gets to be king of his own fucking site. Lord of The Unblown.
All the people who use the site, and the biggest yearly donation tally after holding out the tin cup in the past has been just over two hundy (when somebody like estrogen-whiffing Thorkie say they are contributing, is there any doubt it’s like 5 bucks)? Combine this with how many are pleading poverty and you get yet another chilling insight into these drips.
So, any bets on how long it will take the “Stormfront” contingent to get the Dragonsfoot hip-hop thread locked down by the moderators?
Wow, Freddy PP was a child poet and you didn’t know it. And spray-painting “Cripz rule!” is performance art that burns.
May the cocksucking on that thread burn forever!
I love the Dragonsfart BE QUIET A WHITE MAN IS SPEAKING mentality.
I have to admire the Aspergery-ness of the first response.

Any love for hilariously named non-TSR game companies?
And man Thorkie; whatupwit the non-TSR product hate? I guess the true sign of a grognard neckbeard catpiss old school weirdo is TSR purism.
Don’t mock Thorkie, your introducing me to his Holy Work is one reason I fell in love with YDIS. Sadly, his Daughters of the Deep module appears to have been discontinued and is now surely a valuable collector’s item. I should have bought it when I had the chance. Gazing upon it brought me such unfettered joy.
I wonder if ol’ Stratochump has a copy. Picture the scene: the wife is away for the weekend at the mother-in-law’s. The house is empty, eerily silent. Soft moonlight filters into the sanctum sanctorum, mingling with flickering candlelight illuminating a box of alergen-free latex gloves and a selection of exotic oils and unguents on the table. The Imperial Exhaulted Librarious Supremous peruses his shelves, running his glove-clad finger along the spines of his rare treasures, clad in a silk robe and slippers. Where to begin? The succubus from the Monster Manual? (True first print with red overleafs) Perhaps with Loviator, Maiden of Pain, from the Cthulhu version of Dieties and Demigods? (Don’t act like you guys don’t know what I’m talking about) But wait. The Grand Pontiff of Tomes pauses. With bated breath he reaches forth…

Do fish women have estrogen?
Do muscular fish women have estrogen?
If so, how much?
Questions that should never be asked nor answered.
Do muscular fish women have estrogen?
If so, how much?
Depends on the amount of pollution that accumulates in their lair.
I’m sure ol’ smelly Thork, despite his TSR loyalty, was going for a Raggi style combo D&D/Cthulhu jam with fish women raping human men. Or maybe he went with the change up because fish men raping human women was kind of done to death but he just had to work sex in somehow. But man, that cover image with the steriod-buffed fish chicks deep kissing those dudes. Pure blOwSR disgusto lechery.
And remember, rape is violence, not sex. Sure, it’s violence where you cum at the end, but…
Someone has to have said “More like Tom of FIN-Land” before this. I probably did. But it’s so obvious I’m saying it again. That’s a Tom of Finland cover.
I just Googled that and now I’m sorry I did. Kent, however, might really appreciate it.
Damn, Scottt…you owe me the EggmcMuffin and hash browns I just coated my computer screen with…
Or maybe he went with the change up because fish men raping human women was kind of done to death but he just had to work sex in somehow.
If you read the original “Shadow Over Innsmouth, it’s the males of the town banging female fish folk, and the sex is consensual. I think the “inversion” of the roles and the rapeyness are strictly an OSR misogynist pervy-pie spin on things. Besides, male fish don’t even have dongs… there I go with my Gygaxian naturalism again!
I am sure Lexi Qaeda could have come with a deep, meaningful interpretation of San Gropia that the rest of the blOwSR couldn’t appreciate.
“This is not me extracting the semen from your frail form so I can produce guppies and ensure that in the future we will be strong enough to crush your Blipdoolpoop-damned race of our fucking planet, this is me caring about you.”
males of the town banging female fish folk”
To be fair, most chicks from coastal towns in that part of the country look and smell like fish.
Outside of Lovecraft, I think there were at least a couple movies in the 80’s that featured sex-crazy fish dudes. In one of them I remember a guy getting buggered, but I think the thing just could not tell the diff between guys and gals, perhaps lacking the hyperactive estrogen scent detection of the whoozy Sir Thorkhammer . More modernly, I predict we are only a TV movie or two away from Sci Fi Channel doing one up about shark rape.
As far as 80s fish fetish movies go, I’ll stick with Splash.

Yes, just like female Italians.

Just when you think Raggs can’t any more “out there” , this happens.
However, we should be commending him for at least trying to atone the Great blOwSR sin of Cut,Copy,Past,Regurgitate. Rather than just blatantly plagiarizing the rules for ass rape & anal circumference , he is going to the source.

Has it really been a year since Tavis declared the end of major combat operations in Dwimmermount — mission accomplished! — and turned the reins back over to the pope?
http://www.tenkarstavern.com/2013/01/dwimmermount-update-from-tavis-allison.html
No wait. Two months after that the pope resigned and Tavis got it back.
When it launched everyone was so confident that they could deliver all rewards inside 120 days. Now this legendary dungeon module has taken longer than U.S. involvement in World War Fucking One.
update #68(Dec 22) says “Help is on the way” . It’s backers only so I have no clue what the fuck that means. Now that Pope Jmal is back publishing game material could he be back on the project again ??!?
I doubt Jmal would slink back to the project, or that its current custodians would allow him back. He’ll just continue cutting his old posts and pasting them for any sucker who gives him space. He’ll burp out an occasional anemic “Thousand Suns” -or whatever the fuck that game is- supplement, as his first love is dated sci-fi, but I’d bet 2000 copper pieces that he’ll never touch Dwimmermount again.

I see our favorite homosexual Kent has found his way there to 10 foot pole, charming as ever. I wonder if he was disappointed when he learned the 10 foot pole wasn’t a reference to a giant penis?
Hilarious, I can’t believe he actually typed out “answer the question, cretin”. Even better, Mr Lynch totally ignores the bait, and gives him a much more courteous answer than he deserves.
Poor hapless fuck, he can’t even troll successfully anymore.
I find it hard to reconcile the first commenting Kent with the second. The first capitalised incarnation disputes with angry grace, and there’s a sense that the conversation has ended to good profit. The lower-case version just drools and babbles angrily, chewing on the softened corners of his childhood pencilcase in the hope that some nourishing mould remains.
Either there are two Kents or that homebrewed Guinness induces multiple personalities. Neither option comforts me. I mean, a ‘personator, upon the Internet, a usurper of that most hallowed guarantor of validity we dub the Handle I Use Everywhere? Say ‘t aint so! (ha ha, you said ‘taint’, I gather that’s lewd in the Colonies.) As for the latter… wash your feet ‘fore you tread the peat, mate, the fungus between your toes will spoil your insides for good.
Of course, the man himself will merely claim he’s fucking with us, in which case my usual censure applies. Whatever good Kapital K Kent might do is undone by the Special K who comes out at the full moon. Lock yourself indoors like the other lycanthropes and come out when you can stop chewing bones… arf arf.

“every old school version of the original fantasy role-playing game”
You know, it’s not like WotC’s lawyers can’t figure out what the fuck this is supposed to mean. blOwSR: take your balls out of Gygax’s fossilized scrotum and just call it fucking D&D, or AD&D, or OD&D, or whatever version of the useless spectrum you’ve calcified into field museum irrelevance. I guarantee that you’re too irrelevant to get sued. You’re all either unemployed libertarians or computer programmers who’ve been working in the field for fifteen years but can’t seem to get promoted to “senior programmer” level yet. There’s no money in you. You’re worthless. You’re not being tacitly approved of, you’re being ignored.
The sad irony is “TETSNBN” — the edition that shall not be named — is almost always referred to 3.x and beyond in the blOwSR circles, yet none of them can bring themselves to actually refer to the game they’re blatantly stealing from by its proper name.
Is Dwimmermount is available for pre-order yet? I been searching on line and googlez sent me here since it is number one hit. I love legendary dungeons. English not first language. James maliwsweski is D&D creator no?
D&D was created by Tim Kask and Rob Kuntz.
Fanzines are our greatest blOwSR resource, so I don’t know why more of you guys aren’t worried about Christian Walker. No ‘zine produced in a coons age.

Most disturbing are his bleak beach posts on his surfing blog jam. Check out those from November, the most recent posts on any of his blogs. He goes to the beach looking for an endless summer during winter and is sad it’s cold and the swell is flat. He laments the commute and having to teach somewhere other than the beach. He tells a young girl who tells him the surf sucks to fuck off. He tries to photo bomb a model shoot and gets rocks thrown at him. He pesters tourists who tell HIM to fuck off. And most chilling of all, he leaves a murder hobo some cash on his windshield without even considering that it will probably be snagged by his surfing hodad bretheren long before the needy chap finds it.
Something is going on. Bedcheck time. Please, chickenshits are important too. YOU are Christian.
Twist ending — He was already dead.
Mind. Blown.
Alexass is just a few short months from going Psycho Libertarian on us. You read it here first.
The premonition, from http://tao-dnd.blogspot.com/2014/01/so-sick-of-if.html:
Sometimes I think that role-players think a town of 400 people describes the whole population. “Yep, that’s right, there’s the town, and ten feet beyond the town, there’s NOTHING. No camps, no farms, no cottagers out there in the woods, no hunters or woodsmen or people eeking out a living hunting and gathering. Everyone around HERE lives in town, ain’t no other way to live. What’s that you say? Roor-ral? What the fuck is that? Ain’t nobody roorral. We don’t believe in it. A man would have to be an idiot to build a cabin out in the woods, by themselves, where there weren’t no taxes, laws, restrictions on space, rent, vagabonds, thieves or elders to tell him what for. Why, that’d be like living in a free country! Where’s the damn sense in that?”
Next thing you know, he and Rot Cunts are going to be giving each other reacharounds while they plink squirrels with a .22 from their little love shack in the woods, while an Odin worshipper jams horse cock up his ass and Ol’ Whats-His-Name goes coon hunting.
I don’t get it. What’s the central conceit of that guy’s blog supposed to be – take a fun game like D&D and make it dull and boring?
Basically he takes something that is supposed to be a fun, loose hobby and turns it into work. Sort of like those twerpfucks who turn games of Vampire into therapy sessions for their daddy rape issues.
Don’t you understand? D&D is NOT supposed to be FUN! FUN is a notion anathema to Alexis.
Fantasy? Entertainment? Fiction? FUCK THAT NOISE!!!
D&D must emulate reality as closely as possible (but it must include elves, magic, pirate-rape, etc.) or else it is a game for mere CHILDREN!
Could he make the color scheme any harder to read? Light blue on slightly darker blue? It’s like his blog is some sort of performance art, to see how much punishment he can inflict on anyone who is unfortunate enough to try and read it
Wait, wait, wait. Do you mean that pirate-rape isn’t real?
Well, color me (and Kent and His Rectum) disappointed.
Forgive me. I should have said, “pirate sex that isn’t sex.”
Not about pirate rape. It’s about pirate LOVE. As to the original 1,600-word screed, 1980 called looking for its endless bitch fest about why every fucking hamlet with a third level cleric isn’t illuminated by murano glass continual light globes on every street corner and how all the fucking castles are open to aerial assault. Because fantasy folk crazy!
Remember kids, every 1,600 words you conserve at home is 1,600 words that Pookie and company can pour back into making sure Dwimmermount backers get the exhaustive coverage they deserve.
You, my friend, are as far as I’m concerned now the King of Geekville! Love it.
A few buried nuggets of comedy gold in the comments section where Alexis demonstrates his awesome intellect and debating skills by calling someone a liar and an idiot, uses his credentials(possibly fictional) to dismiss evidence outright and finally deleting comments(and then denying he did so).
Cherrypicked for your convenience:
“There is so much wishful thinking, stretching of the imagination and downright resistance to social comprehension that there’s no point in my addressing your last comment.”
(in response to a posted link(wikipedia but still))
“Let it be, Charles. You’ve made your assertions four times. You haven’t said anything new since the first comment. You continue to assert that history is “this” or history is “that” but as a historian I don’t find any of it has the ring of truth.”
“Well, I didn’t mean to actually delete that last comment. That was a keying error. Could we please have that link again, Charles. I don’t mind it being up. ”
“I hadn’t realized you were only going to post the wikipedia entry, Charles. You do realize that the material there in no way supports any of the crap you’ve been spewing here, right?”
What. The. Fuck.
He uses a 1952 encyclopedia because “it’s much closer to the actual desired represented period, the 17th century” than the 21st century?
I guess that’s becuase back in 1952 we didn’t have:
trains
huge sea vessels not dependent on wind power
high quality roads and gasoline powred trucks to travel on them
radio and telephone communication
advanced methods of processing materials efficiently and on a large scale
“air-transport”
I mean 1952 was WAY before the Industrial Revolution. I think they still had dinosaurs.
I was gonna play the “all gamers are aristocrats of the mind who would prefer to use the Diderot but waah, it’s too expensive for us mere gamers” card but turns out uncut copies are surprisingly cheap if not actively free. So there’s no excuse for relying on 1950 instead of 1750 to build your fucking world unless you are (a) lazy as ass (b) secretly trying to emulate Eberron’s hot suburban mess of a setting (c) unaware of the difference a couple centuries actually make.
Lexis further screws the pooch by including Uvarovite in his trade tabels, an extremely rare mineral that was not discovered until 1832. Of course Alexis would claim that this information was all based on our Egalitarian Western cultural frame of reference and historical revisionism and Uvarovite had actually been in use long before that.
Why stop at Uvarovite? Stop teasing us Lexi, and throw in the Babbage Engines, Textile, Dodecahedron and Decanter of Endless Water industries already.
Well, things were so primitive back in 1952, I’ll bet they didn’t even know that Uvarovite wasn’t discovered until 1832. So it’s all good.
Obviously not, since 1952 is completely identical to the 17th century and people in the 17th century didn’t know they didn’t know about Uvarovite. It’s a miracle they even HAD a calendar in 1952. It’s a miracle they could write things down at all. I bet the 1952 encyclopedia had to be carefully quarried from the cave walls it had originally been painted on.
If he had imaginary commodities like cavorite, tantulhor and Keoghtom’s Ointment on the charts I’d admire the creative drive behind it. But cavorite wasn’t even made up until 1901 much less exploited commercially! I call shenanigans!
This cut and paste genius behind OSRIC actually thinks that OSRIC seriously cut into 4e D&D sales. What a fucking unblown moron.
http://www.therpgsite.com/showpost.php?p=507294&postcount=7
That would be PATHFINDER (and 4e just plain sucking) that did that, dumbass.
By the way, glad you never left us, A Spec!
That dungeon delver guy is almost as clueless a sanctimonius fuck as Alex Qaeda. It’s hilarious that some people thought he was YDIS. I would like to see his objective evidence that OSDIC took away profit from 4E.
Um, I called Alexis a guy. The esteemed Dr. Spectre would never do that. Although he knows better and is probably right.

Wow, you jumped right to the Final Four when I need at least a Sweet 16 to get warmed up. Sophie’s Choice here, but I’m going to go with Things You Find in Your Pocket by Scrap Princess. I like the idea of him scouring old episodes of $20,000 Pyramid for spamdom tables.
Scrap Princess is so ready when somebody finally invents the 1d104…
I gotta go with the 12 kinds of dark. Totally nonsensical, but disturbingly evocative nonetheless.
Woah. Delved a little deeper into Mr. Falsemachine, and I advise you to stay away. Nay, run away.
How about the LotFP complete catalog for free? Baby rape, your own shit monsters, disfigured women. It’s all in there.

Click, download, mock.
A real live turd on a game mat would be a refreshing change and more pleasant to endure!
There is a certain tragic irony inherent in JimLotfp’s work. He started out with some decent adventures and ideas, the Green Devil Face Stuff is downright usable, if a bit dickish, Tower of the Stargazer is good fun, as long as you don’t mind stopping the game for half an hour to play a game of Chess/Checkers/Mortal Kombat to decide who lives and who dies in the middle of an adventure. The Random Esoteric Creature Generator is nice(though you could easily make one yourself). The Grinding Gear is Tomb of Horrors with less cheap shots and more puzzling. Death Frost Doom is alright, though i have heard rumours it was based on a module known as Lichway that appeared in White Dwarf.
But as time progressed and his popularity rose, JimLoftp attempted to do ‘new things’ and ‘be creative and shit’ and ‘push boundaries.’ In his efforts to be creative and out there, Jim started writing Fuck for Satan, the magnificent Joop van Ooms and The Monolith From Beyond Space and Time(and the God that Crawls, but that one gets a pass) . It wasn’t about writing slightly Grim/Dickish/Low Magic Dark Fantasy D&D anymore, JimLopftp was going to blow our minds and revolutionise old school gaming with stuff we had never seen before. If Jim would stop trying to be a tortured artist that is going to blow our minds with stuff never seen before and just go back to writing Adventures i think he could deliver works of reasonable quality. Leave your angst where it belongs, with a psychotherapist(ha ha i said rapist).
As for the rest, Are you there Geoffry? I know you are. I love you. I never meant to hit you but you drive me so crazy sometimes. Stop frollicking around with your psychedelic emo friends and make Putrescent Pits of the Slime Gods already.
Faggi has shot his wad and has nothing left except junior high hype. His disciple Geoffie is flaccid as well, relying on others to come up with “Lurid sack” derivatives to build his publishing empire.
But the creatively challenged recognize their own, and will continue to support them.
The vast majority of those fartknockers shoot their wad the day after publishing their OD&D house-rules, as we know full well. I quite like bits of Raggi’s, as it happens, but he’s strayed down the dark path of trying to make a living out of a finitely appealing product. If your RPG is any good at all its core rulebooks will inspire adequate gameplay all alone, and you have no need to sell supplements. Eventually, the sham will out, and you’ll be left recognisant that you ruined a good thing by trying to pay more than a few month’s rent with it.
Of course, the trouble with Raggi’s core rulebook, as I see it, is that left to itself it’s just a set of rules for Middle-Ages-and-beyond bourgeois characters, with a convoluted sub-system for summoning eldritch nasties. Unless you happen to have some extant ideas for a post-medieval world of bourgeois adventurers dabbling in the Dark Arts, there’s not much there to -give- you some of those ideas. I guess the Weird must be hiding in the grotty artwork that the free version doesn’t have? That Raggi gives away his rules for free and charges for the “GOOORHHH I EAT BABIES AND LOVE THE SATAN VAGINA VAGINA TRVE KVLT SONS OF NORTHERN DARKNESS!” artwork indicates, I think, where his attention and priorities lie, and it sure as hell isn’t in giving us a set of rules that play ‘weird’ well, or he’d want paying for that instead of commissioning graphic filth.
Clearly Raggi reads YDIS on a regular basis or he wouldn’t have had these pulled down. Fortunately, they are back up so you can download to your heart’s content and provide mocking commentary on the contents within!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
Wanted to get that in just in case GOPagan has something to say about some obscure white cracker that will get lost in all the hullabaloo today surrounding MLK, racist oppressor of privileged white people!
I could see Thor and MLK trading bong hits. Maybe if GOPagan’s theodish lord and master, that corrupt NYC councilman, gave him permission to think for himself, he could see that too.
I am pretty sure that would have been in Gary’s unpublished 2nd edition of AD&D’s Dieties and Demigods.
Now there was a kindred spirit to the OSR.
