I read this news story and my first thought was "huh. People still play Shadowrun?"

GEEK.

hehehe.. and my thoughts were, "y'know I havent played RPG's in years. I wonder if I can get a game going?"

UBERGEEK

I was thinking about Shadowrun just the other day...

Yeah, Shadowrun and Marvel rpgs were all me and my friends used to play. Nintendo ended up putting out a shitty Shadowrun game back in the day I think. Maybe Sega.

The both of them did; very different games. I think the Sega one (from vague memories of emulating) was a rank pile of Rampart-esque bollocks.

I have no respect for this guy. You don't see Molatar knicking things.

If you're going to confuse your RPG character with real life, you could at least play a decent character. A shadowrun elf? Lowest of the low.

When I flip out I'll be channelling a Warhammer FRP Dwarf Trollslayer, smashing shit up with a battleaxe and screaming about the dark lord Sainsbury's evil minions. They'll have to send armed police into the Ale aisle and contend with my +1 broken bottles. Stealing bras and knickers? Fucking elves.

yeah, but in the end? Step 3! Profit! Just ask the gnomes.

No, the lowest of the low would be a dark elf.

Nobody RPs one of those.

Oh, I've got it! A kender.

"Nobody RPs one of those."

heheh, yeah, its been done. (and its still talked about in hushed remorse filled tones)

yeah, cause when you decide that sleeping dragon = dead lizard = stew for EVERYBODY!! Well, lets just say, the rest of your party isnt going to be happy!

Ahh Shadowrun. Fun game, terrible system. Luckily my character (human mage) was always in the background during fights so he rarely got shot.

Cyberpunk just wasn't the same without dragons running the megacorps.

I like the idea he's "using this memory loss scenario to avoid answering very difficult questions".
The question being 'Are you a crossdressing shoplifter, or an amnesiac elf?', I suppose. Is that a difficult question? Or just a fantastic, and all too rarely asked, question?

I speak as a crossdressing (former) shoplifter. I don't have mental elf issues.

Sorry.

You won't be goblin up my praise, I can tell you that.

I think we're all being rather flippant about the man's mental elf issues.

Some of these puns are so bad. Im suprised that more of you aren't using a gnome-de-plume.

It's too orcward sometimes to just let it bree and role with the punches.
 
 
alas
17:37 / 08.03.07
I, for one, am in high dungeon over our flippancy, Stoat. My dungeon, in fact, I think I can safely say, dwarves yours--although together they're a pretty well orchestrated ire. Sure, you say "it's just some lads, out on a larp," "we're just having an anime-ted discussion," but it's always punny till someone gets hurp. (I think I made that last one up.)

(Is there a way I can be alerted to threads that are degenerating into painful punnery?)
 
 
Saint Keggers

let it bree? Was that a cheese pun? I dont think we can owlbear it. I think you just want to be the centaur of attention. Im going to blame it on your youth. and hope that pne day you'll beholder and wiser.

Maybe with some kind of smell-alert function which could blast a particular perfume from an interface attached to the computer? Then there would be a pungent warning.

No, a LOTR one... it was brooing for a long time though.
