I have a friend that I'm going to steer here for some game design discussion, but I was hoping to give him a "trial by fire", as it were.
Which thread do you folks think represents the Den best in all its horrible glory? I was thinking the recent shitgoblin thread for ease of access but I feel there must be some "classics" that would show off our tone a little better.

Dog rape.
Centaurs on stairs.
Large PCs generally.
edit:
Any of the invasion threads: Darwinism's antics were pretty good.
The theRPGsite cross-board flame war was pretty amazing. GC (Roy?)'s antics right after were also pretty amazing - early posts from Lord Mistborn are a good way to find that (he got better).
Edit again:
PL's story is also pretty great: http://tgdmb.com/viewtopic.php?t=51605

One casting every six seconds at CL9 gives you a bit more than 40 liters per second, which is comparable to the flow rates of some small, but serious, rocket engines. Six items running at full blast through a well-engineered engine will put you, and something like 50 tons of cargo, into space. Alternatively, if you thrust sideways, you will briefly be a fireball screaming across the sky at mach 14 before you melt from atmospheric friction.
I like Frank's Red Hand of Doom playthrough thread, and the Master Race Handbook OSSR. Some of the first Pathfinder and 4e threads are good, too, for vitriol.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

That thread is near and dear to my heart because it's an epic smackdown of the whole 'fascism for the greater good!' crap that infests not only WH40K but TTRPG culture in general.
Though to be honest I think the best TGD threads involve politics. Which might be why I like that above one so much.

Your freedom to run/play a game without needing to understand a complex rule system is in direct conflict with my freedom to play a character whose abilities and flaws function as I intended within that ruleset. Your freedom to add and change rules in the middle of the game is in direct conflict with my ability to understand that rules system before I decided whether or not to join your game.
In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.
How the hell did i miss the RhoD thread this entire time? THat was as an entertaining read.Maxus wrote:I like Frank's Red Hand of Doom playthrough thread, and the Master Race Handbook OSSR. Some of the first Pathfinder and 4e threads are good, too, for vitriol.
