Davin Valkri posted:Did somebody do this Man who was Thursday thing before? I can't remember. He had turned his eyes so as to see suddenly the great face of Mormon Star Wars, which wore a strange smile. "Have you," Ettin cried in a dreadful voice, "have you ever suffered?" As he gazed, the great face grew to an awful size, grew larger than the colossal mask of Memnon, which had made him scream as a child. It grew larger and larger, filling the whole sky; then everything went black. Only in the blackness before it entirely destroyed his brain he seemed to hear a distant voice saying a commonplace text that he had heard somewhere, "lā ʾilāha ʾillā-llāh, muhammadun rasūlu-llāh"

Mormon Star Wars posted:Guys, I have something to admit. I have been a spy for the Gaming Police for years, infiltrating the black depths of the Council of Outrage Culture. I have in my hand a I asked Ettin: what is it you object to? You want to abolish roleplaying? quote:To abolish Grog! We do not only want to upset a few old-school gamers and rpgsite posters moderators; that sort of gaming does exist, but it is a mere branch of the OSR. We dig deeper and we blow you higher. We wish to deny all those arbitrary distinctions of attribute and save, armour class and THAC0, upon which mere tradgamers base themselves. The silly sentimentalists of the Forge talked of playing Story First! We hate Story as we hate Games. We have abolished Story and Game. But Ettin, we never hated you. quote:You never hated because you never lived. I know what you are all of you, from first to last - you are the Old School! You are the Gaming Police - the great fat, smiling men in neckbeards and faded heavy metal t-shirts! You are the OSR, and you have never been broken. But is there a free soul alive that does not long to break you, only because you have never been broken? We on SA talk all kind of nonsense doubtless about this crime or that crime of ZakS. It is all folly! The only crime of ZakS is that he is ZakS. The unpardonable sin of the supreme Pundit is that it is supreme. I do not curse you for being obtuse. I do not curse you (though I might) for being harassers. I curse you for being grogs! You sit in your reinforced chairs of stone, and can not lever yourselves out of them. You are the seven neckbeards of heaven, and you have had no troubles. Oh, I could forgive you everything, you that rule all of gaming, if I could feel for once that you had suffered for one hour a real storygame such as I...

The Man Who Was Thursday is legit one of my favourite books. I only got introduced to it when it was quoted in the original Deus Ex, but I caught up fast.

RocknRollaAyatollah posted:What is this book that you're working on because I will probably buy it? My book is called Fellowship, and it is a Powered by the Apocalypse fantasy system mostly based on Dungeon World, but with some fairly major edits. It is similar enough that it can be used with Dungeon World stuff but I basically rewrote all of the core moves in the book, so it can be used as a stand-alone product as well. I wrote a preview consisting of the playbooks' descriptions here, along with some artwork: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ePKUhH5i1yl2ySxTXPSXID1NRA2JHC_5pzA0YGmhDAQ/edit I'll have a playtest version available by the end of the week, and if everything goes smoothly it'll be out for sale before October.

That's not evidence of anything though, that's just rows of dots cleverly arranged in a pattern of colors that just happens to portray Zak as a fuckin' creepazoid.

That's just him telling people to harass people though. There's no way he could have known that people were going to harass the person he told his people to harass. He's not a fortune teller.

Ratpick posted:This looks swag as gently caress. If I may be so bold as to inquire, who did the art? The style looks very familiar. The art for all of the playbooks was done by Clove, who I talked about earlier in the thread: gnome7 posted:They're by Hans Heisler, internet name Clove. They're basically the best artist I've ever worked with and they're also doing work for Golden Sky Stories right now. You can find their art here: http://cloveochai.tumblr.com/ The Overlord's art is done by Katherine Jenkins, also known as Crossfrown. It's just a sketch, she's working on it right now. Her art can be found here: http://crossyarts.tumblr.com/ The Overlord is a playbook for the GM to use. It's something special.

Thanks, it's always nice to find more great artists to follow on Tumblr!gnome7 posted:The Overlord is a playbook for the GM to use. It's something special. I'm absolutely in love with this idea. Does the GM get to make choices as to what types of moves the Overlord has? Between Inverse World and all the Mage playbooks I've already thrown insane amounts of money at you already, but you seem to be making it really hard for me to stop.
