The Gaming Den

I fixed my last post so that it links to the version of the song where they don't FUCKING INEXPLICABLY CENSOR the best line.

Okay, logged out, tried incompetently to kill myself, logged back in, ready to rock. Applications are (still) closed. We have heard from Prak and from Chamomile through our official email. Hicks, Dean, we need emails from you through our official email to hold your spots. Then we're locked, cocked, ...

I have heard it described as a "party con", mostly industry insiders, mostly there to get wasted and network, with the former being a higher priority. Their Industry GoH consistently includes the likes of Eloy LaSanta (who I really liked until four days ago, and who I now probably would fe...

Ahh, word. I was afraid I'd lost those beautiful words forever.

Thanks fbmf (I have always assumed that fbmf stands for "FENCE BUILDER, MOTHER FUCKER!"!" Exactly right? Way off?)[/i]

Not your fault at all, pragma, don't feel bad.

Thanks for the good vibes, I feel 'em.

@Bobbie: That's awesome. <3 If anyone cares for some bizarre reason, here's an update on my personal well-being. TW: Massive, stupid intentional self-harm. J.M. Hardy giving me the boot for life from the SR freelancer list was not the only reason for this, but it was a major factor. I was whacked ou...

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

But it was a learning experience for me. I need to be way more subtle in the future.

Talk less, make more.

First off, and I know it's stupid, I literally tried to kill myself last night (don't worry, I rolled a natural 1 and I'm mostly fine, except for the 7"x2"x2" gash in my left arm so I want you to know what a crit success you rolled with how much this made me laugh and smile. I think ...

I empathize with you hard, Bobby. FWIW The email I wrote Jason telling him politely to go fuck himself--which was actually polite and didn't include the words "go fuck yourself"--in response to his notice of termination left me in literal tears. I'm obviously embarrassed of this, but patho...

I bow out of this thread, btw due to recent events (firing, stupid spontaneous self mutilation).

Soooooo they fire people for expressing personal opinions, on a board not associated with their brand, under a pseudonym that has been, until now, unconnected to their professional life within that company? Not surprised at all, considering AH got banned off the freelancer boards for expressing an ...

For Bobby, it was much much harder. It's not my story to tell of course, but he was quite an invested fanboy, and walking away from it required CGL management to quite thoroughly burn their bridges with him through a long series of betrayals to him personally and to people he considered friends. My...

gentle bump. if fbmf is away on leave, someone remind me.

if we have the power to change our user titles ourselves, someone explain it to me like you would to a small child.

Well I sure wish I'd kept my big fucking stupid mouth shut.

No, just huge cognitive dissonance. I knowingly became a scab when better writers like Frank and Bobbie flipped them both barrels of the bird and bailed. It didn't make me feel awesome about myself as a person. As you can imagine. But I had wanted to write Shadowrun since I was ten years old. I saw ...

1) Serious: I'd like to officialy request that my username be changed to "Neurosis". Please. I've posted on too many forums under too many names for too long. I need to lessen the burden of the pseudoynms? 2) Silly: Why was my Ansalonian Prophet song in MPSIMS deleted with no explanation (...

So I just got fired from CGL, who I decided to freelance for indirectly because of this thread back in 2010-2011. Discuss.

I am logging out of Schwarzkopf. My business partner is logging into Schwarzkopf. She will send out PMs to those of you who made the cut (everybody who applied) with the address of our website (KEEP IT SECRET, KEEP IT SAFE) and the email address to send an email to today to join our freelancer pool.

I'm not talking about "reciting an anecdote", I'm talking about actual on-paper stats we can easily extrapolate from. And Name any six Challenge Ratings (like, give me six different CR numbers) between lets say 2 and 12. For at least four of the six numbers you named, I will find at least ...

@Leress: I'm trying, I can't find the frickin' one what borked it!

E: I got it.

TGFB if you can fix the den's BBCode so that a single missing close spoiler or close quote tag does not destroy the readability of an entire page, I will paypal you $50.00 RIGHT NOW.

The Den's BBCode is borked as shit and something about my post made the entire thread narrow to one small column? If anyone can find the unclosed tag that broke the page, my thanks. I didn't mean to break Prak's nice thread.

I'm just gonna throw this in here. It's not the most germane but...eh. They're stats. You can look at them. I was trying to stat the demigodess Aristemis from Goodman Games' Aereth setting which I'm actually a huge fan of. Demigod, NG — Strategy, Diplomacy Aristemis (uh-riss-teh-miss), the Clear Thi...

THESIS: CR is arbitrary as fuck. CHALLENGE RATING CHALLENGE Name any six Challenge Ratings (like, give me six different CR numbers) between lets say 2 and 12. For at least four of the six numbers you named, I will find at least two monsters within the same CR that represent a ludicrously different ...

It would work better if CR wasn't a completely random number that WotC pulled out of their collective ass like 80% of the time. Ugh, this again. CR is a really fucking good metric of monster power and challenge. It's really really really really really good. If it wasn't really good, people wouldn't...
