I recall the greatest use of music ever was when our driver in Adeva kept playing the spice girls at every opportunity
Including that one time when a building fell on us and she just drove right through it
And then it turns out she was a spai during the inevitable tumble
Man I miss that game, so many memories. Especially since it's about the only campaign we ever finished
Wait... You finished a campaign?
Is that even possible?

3.5 works too if you want to make wacky D&D jokes

Campaign Start: Ditzy Insane-o driver with some sexual tension and a running joke about the spice girls
Campaign End: Numb Spy that crippled her boyfriend ("If she had wanted to kill me she would have reversed afterwards") that went to effectively commit suicide by driving a boat into a Military Cordon.
Result: Probably decomposing in the flooded ruins of Boston before being dissolved into her base components by a Transhumanist nightmare being from the dawn of life on earth, mercilessly resurrected by the secret ruling class of the world.
NPCs are fun. And yes I finished a campaign. The entire thing was a nightmarish mess but by god we finished. Other high points include a Chinese schoolgirl burning to death in the earth's atmosphere and the PCs all finding out they're related.

I wasn't related to anybody else. I just had the government watching over me from birth to make sure I didn't get killed, if I remember right.

I mean you'd probably experience some pretty major shrinkage if god himself descended to Earth in front of you. Most of the shit where they've got tiny dicks is because they're meant to show biblical shit like people seeing God, angels, demons, or some other freaky ass shit that would make you shit yourself.

Speaking of God, angels, and demons, I'm likely gonna be running Demon: The Descent here soon for some friends.
My conclusion, so far, from what I've read in the book: The God-Machine works in mysterious ways. :v:
we've actually nearly finished our L5R campaign
and with only 6~ character deaths
[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;44986656]Do you guys use any soundtracks/music when DMing? I would like to, but it's hard to chose things that, you think your players would like too.

I really want to insert this into a game(for like the BBEG), but it's hard creating the suspense/immersion it needs to actually fit I think.[/QUOTE]
Funny you'd mention soundtracks, one of my players actually compiled a 200 megabyte OST for my campaign that I'm running. 2gud.

If you're not afraid of the curse, I wouldn't mind joining the game of The Matrix RPG. I'm more a fan of the Old World of Darkness Demon, but I'll try out the new one if I can get the book.
Oh, and the 'tiny penis in art' thing does go back to the Greeks which was repilcated until Europe got its act together art-wise. Ironically (maybe), some Greek art depicts women with enlarged clitoris's.

We finished a year long Dark Heresy campaign a while back. It was awesome.

In my first campaign we had a graveyard the size of the moon. In the second so far we've only had two PC deaths. One was a character committing seppuku, and for the other the GM rolled Unarmed Damage and got 60~ on 4k2, and snapped his neck like a twig.
I really want to play / run a Numenera campaign but I don't know anyone IRL who has a free schedule.
I have not played but it gets me super pumped to play reading the book.

Was actually talking about one of the games I ran. The first one I ran online. You were in it. The one with the gravity dying and the liches being eaten by dinosaurs and Abraham Lincoln being nuked by meteors.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;44990405]In person or...?[/QUOTE]
no all of those were online
Although now that you mention it, there was a 5th one that was in person. I didn't remember it because I was like, ten.
Been a while but nothing super neat as last session has happened.
So there was an undead crypt/dungeon/whatever you'd like to call it (the group called it the adventure zone) that they finally decided to stop the undead that were coming out of it. since its undead, yknow skeletons and zombies and that fun stuff. as a joke for the first fight i played spooky scary skeletons. but the group shortly figured out that undead are not fun to fight, specially when there're traps. the paladin of the group was like "lets jump across the pit like everyone else did!", dc 15 jump in heavy armor.. ka thunk he went down into the pit taking 2d6 lethal from falling 20ft, he spent about 20 minutes of real time trying to get out of the pit with multiple failed climb checks which ended up causing more fall damage. then the group got hit by a couple of spring loaded blades from the walls after the wizard failed his reflex. after that the group beguiler decided "lets hypnotize the skeleton into the spike pit" and then a fire trap detonated on her and the paladin as they stand near the spike pit. gotta love dungeons and traps.
Trying to make the best of a bad situation, since they say every cloud has a silver lining. Here's my advice based on a horrible experience I've had.
GMs, if you need/want to make your players feel sad just ask them to imagine accidentally dropping a big open bar of chocolate on a dirty floor.

Thought this would be good to put here.
What the fuck? My brother, sister and I played this small, fun game we made up with dice and felt the same way the video describes before I even heard of D&D. It's weird knowing that other people outside of my family feel the same way.
[QUOTE]
As a wargamer (And Shadowrun fan) I find this amusing. The best way to win with dice is to throw more dice at the problem. No time for personalizing those who will eventually fail you. Let the failing dice end up the background of the successful one.•

Thus is my youtube comment. I may or may not be listening to Sabaton.
Honestly, I have no idea why people have such an aversion to Tabletop RPG's, it's like their put off by the whole nerd culture, but when it boils down to it, it's communally telling a story, and there are enough systems out there for your story, no matter what it is.

Funnily enough tabletop RPGs work best when you have a socializing and perhaps gregarious (and dare I say, well-adjusted) group to play with, yet the traditional playerbase and stereotype is quite the opposite.
I still kind of secretly feel bad for being a shy mumbler when I joined the best Dark Heresy group and they changed from Skype Group Calling to texting :smithicide:
[QUOTE=croguy;45004963]I'd say that tabletop groups are much more socially intensive, it's just that they're too secluded and unorthodox to be consideded "normal groups", thus they are most often stigmatized as detached and isolated troglodytes. Or satanists. Or weirdos.[/QUOTE]
You'd be surprised just how many straight-up deviant people are drawn to the hobby, though :v:
[QUOTE=Chronische;45005357]I doubt anyone on this thread would be surprised at that, to be honest.[/QUOTE]
I don't think this thread encountered a truly MAGICAL realm yet
I honestly feel that a game like Fiasco best represents what tabletop gaming is.
And Magical Girl Quest/FATAL represent the very fucked side of tabletop gaming.
(Please stop posting those massive MGQ textwalls pls.)

I played Fiasco once. 3 out of 4 players were raped literally to death by the 4th. It was a jolly good time.
