Ended up cheating our asses off because GOD drat that instakill floating skull guy. Can this be found anywhere online? A search doesn't seem to turn it up. I'm amazed that there's actually a computer game of this horror. Edit: Nevermind, I found it. Like an idiot, I searched for 'Tomb of Terror'. Play and 'enjoy'.

While reading this article, I couldn't stop thinking about what rabid fans of the systems you're parodying would think. How much hate-mail do you guys get? Can we see a sampling? Or do RPG nerds somehow have a (gasp!) sense of humor?

I like how the interplay between Zack and Steve has been evolving over time. Zack started out railroading like Thomas the frigging Tank Engine, then Steve figured out how to metagame, and now Zack is at least partly willing to put up with Steve's poo poo (if only because he didn't know how bards work and undoubtedly didn't like the possibility of them being loving useless).

Will the contest campaign and playthrough ever be made? Or have they been forgotten?

Sorry to double-post, but I'm a little worried about the content campaign/playthrough. Have you guys given up on it?

elpintogrande posted:I apologize and I apologize especially to the authors, but we are not going to be doing a playthrough of the rooms. The rules aspect wasn't the problem - we don't really pay much attention to the rules - the problem was more conceptual. Almost every entry was trying to be funny in some way, which works great as entries in a contest, but does not make for the best in a satirical play-through. From our end the contest was pretty heavily flawed all around and we'll be doing something much different and simpler next year. Will the module still be released?

I like how the silly backstories of several of the characters imply their reasons for being interested in the occult: a couple of bored old spinsters who hold seances for fun, a pilot who had his career ended by his insistence that weird poo poo is real, and a woman who discovered that she has no recollection of being in the filthiest film ever made. And there's also Chang, who may be pretending (or at least continuing to pretend after an initial misunderstanding) to be a mysterious Chinaman just so he can hang around interesting wealthy people and find excitement. That's good writing, right there.

elpintogrande posted:I figured more of the party was going to die earlier. I'm still going to use his creations, but I will make the replacement for Cecil that will be the main character next time. This'll be interesting to see. You are more or less the 'straight-man' of this comedy routine, and Steve is the more wacky guy. In Scenario One, Steve controlled the non-main characters that you created. In Scenario Three, he'll be controlling Sharon, Chang, and his own creations Samson and presumably two others originally made for Scenario Two. The tradition of surprisingly good party members somehow continues. Samson, despite having been created by Steve and literally being Karnov, has a good backstory. Perhaps he was smitten with Rat Kelly, but did not dare pursue a relationship with her, for fear of discovering her origins (her rat body may also have been a factor). Or perhaps she was simply the first thing to make him truly curious (he is, after all, normally rather pragmatic). At any rate, after her disappearance, he began pursuing the supernatural, perhaps out of mere curiosity or out of anger at his own cowardice.

I had an idea in the shower, and as a result, I shall now write a brief but no less real work of WTF DnD fanfiction about Session 3: Steve: Okay, I know you're not looking for to me controlling two of my own creations in your party. I know you don't think I 'take things seriously' or 'display typical human intelligence'. But I've thought these guys through. Like this guy. A foreign painter who, unhappy with his performance ever since graduating from art school, and thinking that he has the potential something greater, seeks supernatural phenomena to serve as inspiration. Zack: Not terrible, but... you do realize you're ripping off Pickman's Model, right? Is this as good as it gets from you? Steve: His name is Adolf Hitler. Zack: ...Remind me never to complain to you again. Steve: I do. But it never works. BiggerJ fucked around with this message at 09:29 on Aug 18, 2012 |

Elpintogrande, since a bunch of people posted, will the series continue now or not?neoboman posted:Meaning the response has been poor? I like this series, especially since I've never played this game and it seems pretty fun, although most of the best characters are dead (Cecil, Karnov). At least Chang lives. I think he may have been referring to the fact that his post announcing the third session got no replies for five and a half hours. But then a bunch of people posted so now it's all up in the air.

Elpintogrande: Thanks for reconsidering. And if you want feedback, it'd be best to say so at the end of the next article. This isn't the most popular subforum.

Cry Havoc posted:Another mistake was "Yadda" instead of "Beth" on the third page. Immersion ruined. I'm sure Lowtax will let them edit the article once they go through the correct process. Which probably involves letting Lowtax's daughters hit them in the groin for a while. elpintogrande posted:It was a genuine mistake that I refused to take out.

Trivia: Yadda being called a 'Yoda creature' is perfectly accurate. Yoda's species is the one species from the movies that George Lucas forbade EU authors from exploring.

djwetmouse posted:So I made an entry before the contest was changed to wrestlers and Cthulhu, is that entry no loner valid? It is literally impossible to tell whether you are joking because internet, but in case you aren't: "The artwork doesn't have to be from the module, any 1990s Cthulhu artwork is great, from your own original 1990s Cthulhu ideas to scenes from the past Call of Cobain adventures, random hooks from the Lollapaloozicon, or inspiring cover art for Hard Ticket to Baghdad."

What's to understand? The Nazis have their own arcane wolfy organization thing going on, but the ancient stuff it's making use of has nothing to do with wolves, or anything else conprehensible by human minds. The key to horror is the unknown - the common source of all fear. Speaking of which: that ending. Awwwwesoooooooome. When Steve can't make a crack about something, you know it's done it's job.

The Patreon is up. While The Bad Guys Win is weekly, WTF D&D will be monthly unless you THROW MONEY RIGHT AT THEIR STUPID FAT FACES AAAAAAAAAAAAAA They're currently getting $25 a month, and $100 will double the update rate ($200 will quadruple it). Edit: Holy poo poo, someone just pledged $100 a month. Don't forget, it's monthly (payments are automatically made around the start of each month, but only if the pledging was active during the previous month - if you pledge early in a month your first payment will be the following month).

gnarlyhotep posted:Ok I did the $100 one, now Steve has to run a dungeon for me! ahahahahahaaa!! You're aware it's monthly, right? Patreon's still kinda newish and I'd hate for there to be a misunderstanding. Even if you weren't aware it's monthly, you can pull out after the first payment goes through, but if that causes the total to go below $100 that'll mean only one month of fortnightly updates.

Yeah,. we should prop him up. If we can get this thing to $200 a month there won't be as much pressure on him.
