I am 100% down with the adorable turn this thread took. I'll add my own feline when I get home.

This explains why he picked animals. Blind kids would have an easier time understanding that vermin are evil than that blacks and Arabs are evil.

This inspired me too Google Duck Tales and Cthulhu together and this is what I found:



So, I guess that's a thing.

In cat-related posting, my loving idiot of a cat has for some reason taken to grabbing huge chunks of food from her bowl, throwing them on the floor and then proceeding to nibble at them from the floor. What are you doing, cat?

Glad my last order from DTRPG was back in February. Certainly makes me less paranoid.


To keep with petchat, here is a tiny dog I live with. He's a trained therapy dog and is quite tired after visiting a nursing home earlier today, hence the goofy clothes.

I lucked out because I only buy stuff on Drivethru via Paypal. You got my hopes up about a Torchbearer expansion, but it looks like it's just a few odds and ends - some of which are free. I was surprised to see some Burning Wheel on there, but Luke Crane is still a big dumb idiot so you can't get anything you'd actually want. (Or print versions, apparently.)

Levels 6+ are still a pipe dream...

Cat chat:
About two years ago I was driving home and got stuck behind a van that had inexplicably stopped. There was a sudden flurry of movement, and I thought he'd hit a family of ducks. He fast-walked back to the driver's side and zoomed out of there.

Fucker dumped a whole litter of kittens. I tried to gather up as many as I could to take to a local no-kill shelter where a coworker volunteers. But they were quick, it was dark, and the only one I caught was this dummy who thought she could hide by squatting in the grass:



After I got home, I had to spend the rest of the night disassembling the dashboard to get her out of where she'd climbed up. She fit in the palm of my hand.

Her eyes were swollen shut for a few weeks. She had an itchy eye infection that she scratched by rubbing her face in litter - which got trapped in her eyes and made things worse. (When we realized what was happening, we switched to shredded newspaper 'litter.) She's given us some other scares, but now she's a big fat doofcat. (And her eyes work.)

Tenra Bansho Zero, maybe? I'm not too familiar with how it works in practice though.

Exactly.

Don't games from that time period tend to age terribly regarding stuff like bad user interfaces, poor mechanical balance and opaque documentation?

The greatest crime is that we never got the 4E turn-based tactical dungeon crawler that we should have. If there ever was a game primed for being turned into a CRPG it was 4E.

I watched Pain and Gain this weekend and it really made me think of Fiasco. Start out with a simple plan of fraud and wind up trying to grill the fingerprints off some severed hands.

This. You're doing a disservice to yourself if you have much more than a paragraph of concept to start with, and probably a short paragraph at that. Leaving your character room to be tied intimately into the setting and the lives of the other PCs leads to much more interesting - and playable - results than fixing their place in the world in advance.

Whichever your preference is, you should make it clear in your OP so people can tailor their characters to the needs of the game if they want to participate. I would feel pretty bummed out If I wrote a full page of background dripping with story hooks only to have it rejected because it's too long.
