i knew your name looked familiar.

i mentioned doomlady would kick you in the weener for saying that doomguy couldnt be a girl.

i lacked context apparently and i apologize.

i still maintain that there very well could be a doomlady though.

I never disagreed that there could be a doomlady. I just said it really didn’t matter.

Anyway I gave up arguing on the Internet in 2019 so that’s all I have to say.

And apology accepted. No worries.

Super Troopers 2 couldn't possibly live up to the greatness of 1 so don't go in expecting that. If you go in expecting a mediocre movie but featuring the same beloved characters, you're fine.

It was fun watching with an American and poking fun at all the country stereotype jokes. They got Canada down pretty well as a comedic subject, honestly. The movie is full of double-layered jokes with broad Canadian stereotypes that then get undermined and reveal real Canadian experiences.

Truthfully saying that somebody did a lovely yet legal thing doesn't open you up to a lawsuit.

Exaggerating things because you were legitimately in love with someone and are incredibly angry at them for cheating on you definitely could though.

Unfortunately China Mieville is a frequent collaborator with Zak S. Zak is a rapist/abuser/harasser who is currently suing his ex for going public about all the poo poo he did to her. And I’m sure China’s taking notes for when people go public about his own stuff.

Someone get me some titles cause damned if that god war and magic bear doesn't sound bugfuck insane enough to be amazing.
These are all Forgotten Realms books.

God War is the Avatar trilogy: Shadowdale, Tantras, Waterdeep. There are two later additions, Prince of Lies and Crucible, if you want to keep reading about Cyric and Kelemvor.

Bear God is the 4e Elminster trilogy: Elminster Must Die, Bury Elminster Deep, Elminster Enraged.

I have no idea how any of this is going to read to someone new who doesn’t know anything about the Forgotten Realms. Crazy, yes, readable, I’m not sure. The Avatar trilogy is also the background for the popular Baldur’s Gate series of computer RPGs, I should note.

There’s little crossovers here and there but nothing super major. Back in the day when all of these settings were getting real attention TSR didn’t do crossovers much. Instead they had these three big overarching settings that were the connecting glue for the rest of D&D, and they sold those settings as allowing you to travel from one campaign world to another.

Those settings were Spelljammer (magic space flight between planets), Planescape (traveling between alternate dimensions), and Ravenloft (an evil prison horror dimension that everyone super evil from elsewhere in the universe was summoned to.) Each of those has its own books that include content from the other settings. So there’s a Planescape book about the gods and where they live, and it includes the Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance gods, but it’s a Planescape book, not a crossover for those two settings.

The only exception I can think of is a popular magazine column by Ed Greenwood called the Wizards Three where Elminster and a wizard from Dragonlance and a wizard from Greyhawk meet and swap stories.

Also if you like Dragonlance there’s a let’s read of the Dragonlance books starting up in Trad Games.

This works by the way, and every single forum user should know it. You can mark a thread as "unread after this post". Getting to the correct page is still an open problem. The only solution I know of is to hit the back button until you see it in your User Control Panel, observe the count of how many posts you missed, don't click last unread (because it no longer works), then divide the number by 40 and go back that many pages. Then you can use the aforementioned white rectangle button to the left of the post.

I don't see this button at all, and I never have. Is this maybe an SALR thing or something?

Even back then in the lovely days where words like 'trap' got thrown around casually people had the good sense to say "who gives a poo poo? gently caress off weirdo."
