Little Piggy.

I am a little piggy, climbing the pole.

Ha!

Hey Ed, nice rap. "There's a freak in tha room!", really got me.

More dreams

So we talked about slowwave.com before. Here's something even crazier... rather than cartoons of user-submitted dreams, they actually make animated movies:
www.thedreamproject.org

The best thing ever

That's right. I may not have the time to post every day; I may be just scanning some of the flavor text; I may be ignoring puzzles and clues. But rhyming? Rob - you just took it to the next level.

My next NWP will be Mad Rhyme Skilz. I think I can justify that in game - I think we ALL can justify that in game. Hell - I want to put this shit on my RESUME - if someone's gonna read this blog, and think 'I certainly do not want to hire this gentleman', well then buddy, I don't want to work for you, either.

...

This adventure just went to a scary place. His eyes. Look at his eyes.

I'm going to New Zealand for a week, then to DC for the big conference. New Zealand is inviting me! They're paying my flight, hotel, wining and dining me, etc. Blows my mind really.

Ruxpin...

Yeah. I got it.

Yeah, wasn't a complaint. Just an observation. I think we've actually improved our flow.

Where are you going for 2 weeks?

I defend on Tuesday.

I just space barred through some stuff for you

Well, if you'd prefer, we could do it like this:

DM: You see a world of glass blah blah

(One day later)

PC1: Hmm, looks neat. I say we go in, who's with me?

(One day later)

PC2: Wait are we healed to full?

PC3: How much xp do we have so far?

(One day later)

PC4: I think we should go in there. However there's that other door.

PC1: Okay, let's go in.

DM: You step into the world of glass blah blah nothing around except something way over there.

(Two days later)

PC2: Let's check it out.

PC 3: I'm in.

DM: There are some buildings of glass etc.

PC4: Hi guys sorry for not posting so much.

(One day later)

PC1: Should we check out the buildings? That one building looks sort of intesting.

PC2: My guy is hot and takes off his shirt.

DM: Okay, you remove your shirt.

(One day later)

PC3: I examine the inn.

DM: There's this guest book thing, etc.

(One day later)

PC4: I take the book, is it magic?

DM: Okay, you take the book. Well, it's not labeled "Magic Book" if that answers your question, but even if it was labeled like that, it might still not really be magic, right?

PC4: Hmm, good point.

PC1: Do you want me to cast Detect Magic? Let's wait until we get more stuff.

(One day later)

PC2: Okay we go to a guest cottage.

DM: The Crystal G appears and raps I'm the Crystal G that is my name, Rapping hard is my game, etc.

(Three days later)

PC4: Okay, please cast Detect Magic?

A peek.

Wow, how quickly a peek turned into a combat.

'And Sometimes I'm David'

I just updated my character sheet - all my gear, like, potions, too - so there it is.

I clicked on one of the links, and it took me to a page 'Other people whose favorite movie is 'And Sometimes I'm David'. I want to make this movie.

Fancy.

I decided to spruce up the DiD:TT page. Sort of a Tavern kinda feeling...

Vacation

Hey all... so I'll be somewhat out of commission from this Friday (Oct 28) to next Tuesday (Nov 1), and completely out of commission from Friday Nov 4 to Friday Nov 18. I'm hoping to wrap up this part of the module before Nov 4; I've got something in the works to tide you over throughout November.

Ya

Internet culture is a special thing, I'll tell ya. There's more of that goodness on its way.

By the way, check out the close-to-1:1 DM:player post ratio! I challenge all other DMs to match me, bitches.

Owned.

Yeah, this Tin Hammer Man is tough. I just wish I knew why we were fighting him...

Anyway, Apprentice Steve's "Owned" pictures are fucking hilarious. Each one is special in its own way.

Huh

Everyone is scared of the chainsaw warrior, I guess.

And does Ed even log on anymore? Is the party to have two zombie thieves?

Thanks

Hey, thanks! Yeah, I've had a lot of fun designing this section of the game. I won't say any more about it just now though, as you guys aren't out yet...

God DAMN...

...Those poems Rock! Good stuff, Rob.

Ha

Mark's picture > my picture.

A modest suggestion

Maybe you should get a tattoo that looks like this.

It's small and simple. Easy lines.

(That's the first 'Robbie' I've drawn in years, by the way. He's got kind of a 'snaggletooth' thing going on though. Drawing with Microsoft Paint is hard.)

serenity

yeah the show was much better though.
I don't like that the reavers were explained. I liked having them as just this thing everyone believes in when the lights go out, but when they meet someone who actually says they've seen them....well thats crazy talk. Also the show had more grit, but hey it's 2 hours and a lot to take care of. I explained it to Yvette by saying it's like running a one shot in a great fucking world you don't really get to do justice to the world though because........well you get it.

Marivhon

Well imagine shaking hands....got it? Your thumb will sort of come to rest in the soft tissue triangle where the thumb joins (sort of) with the wrist. So in between the actually hand bones that lead on to the index finger and the thumb bones in the hand I was going to get a bird I drew up as a tattoo in the game I ran. The bird kinda looks like a crow/hawk/kingfisher bird. Unfortunately it's too intricate and the tattoo would bleed out/blur a lot. So I have to try and draw an image I like (which I don't think I'll be able to do because I have a hard time compromising) with straighter lines and more space between them so if it bleeds it won't just blur out. I am going to talk to another tattoo artist about it who kind of specializes in delicate work but he'll probably have to do it 3 or 4 times very lightly to get it to take and even then it will need a lot of touch up work every 4 years or so......

Too intricate?

Oh yeah, do tell about this tatoo, Paul. Is this back or palm of hand?

I am Party Leader

Yeah, I think the only reason why I am party leader is because I use action verbs.

Hey, I was looking at our hits page, and some guy got steered to DiD after searching for: piercer, stalagmite, dungeons and dragons. Now that is my kind of search! Props to Las Vegas piercer searcher if you read this!

I think that Ed is playing his autistic character very well. That should be extra xp, Rob. -That guy needs an ISP.

Wembley kicks ASS

Yeah that thing is so good. I made an 8th level dungeon that featured 'Wembley', a 9th level Halfling Rogue Vampire. He had +11 Appraisal! Pretty useful for a halfling vampire in a 20'x20' room I guess. I like the halls that just go nowhere. Now that is a classic.

Don't worry about watching this site while you do laundry. As you can see, it's basically me and thee. Kinda like watching paint drip. So. Hmm. You see 'Serenity'? It was pretty good.

UPDATE. Okay, so you know how you just posted and said 'I follow the party into the foundry'? I usually read that as you doing nothing. I then wait around for someone, who usually happens to be Mark, to post and say "We enter the foundry!" So while previously I just would've ignored your post as basically meaningless- I mean, it'd be more informative to say "If the party enters the foundry, I stay behind", because default is everyone moves when one person moves- today marks a new beginning! Just check out the DnD page!

I leave for misoury tomorrow

that whole page with the random dungeon generator....I don't know, I'm crying, its so beautiful. It fills the rooms with monsters and treasure....you can generate towns....people....I just need a plot. Maybe I don't, I have a dungeon..!
Well I'm leaving for my parents tomorrow so I'll be watching the site a lot today as I do laundry etc. I did not get a tattoo on my hand today. The design was too intricate, so back to the drawing board.

Nice

Random Dungeon Generator is sweet. Watch for it in an upcoming adventure here...

Anyone can do it.

Hey, check out the new link on the bottom of the Links Worthwhile page. Random Dungeon Generator. Hey, Rob, I think I recognized one of yours.

Yawn

You dun good

Congratulations Paul! God, I've tried to do that many times. My best success was probably the very first Sarpagal campaign, which started out with me killing all the PCs, then ended with me killing all the PCs. Well done sir, I tip my DM hat.

Enjoy Le South.

I thought that was the goal of a DM

I killed all my players last night, it kinda sucked. I don't want them to make new characters because reintroducing the plot would be tedious and worse. So, I am taking some time off. It's weird though last night I still found myself thinking about what was going to happen now and who would be doing what. It's like when someone dies and you forget or you move a clock and keep glancing at where it was. Good death though they almost broke a staff of power as they went as the grand fuck you, but they didn't.

I'm off to Misouri (get it) to visit my parents and others so I be gone next tuesday till the next. I might be able to check in but my dads third world connction speed, acutally the third worlds is better. Well you get the drift.

Nomenclature

Hey Rob - so it bugged you, when I left the last part of your name off? See what I did there?

Re: re: re: Dave

Regarding the post regarding certain names. My name is Rob, with a b, as distinguished from the slightly shorter, slightly trashier 'Ro', also not to be confused with 'Roo' which I am certainly not.

I'd delete Mark's post here, because that's comedy gold, but I don't have clearance. Shit.

Regarding Dave's Regard.

Dave, although it wasn't public domain, there was a high level investigation into the causes of the Post Deletions.
Unfortunately, the Powers-That-Be don't deem it necessary or benefitial to divulge exactly what the findings of that investigation were (they will be become public domain 12.26.13). However, you can take my word on it that this investigation went right to the top.
Although little more can be said of this topic, rest assured, agreements between representatives of the interested parties were made, and thus, it is unlikely that you will see future Post Deletions.

A note about my name

Oh - hey Ro - let me re-iterate that my name is NOT Dave. It is Dave, Fist of Odin. Perhaps DFoO, if you're lazy, but Odin frowns upon the weak of character.

Dave, about Mark's post

I wonder if we're still going to get deleted posts - it'll be interesting to see if Mark's post about throwing a chunk of shit at the door stays up (3:15 pm Michigan time, Wednesday, Oct 12 - ten minutes ago).

I say if we still get any deleted posts we try to pin that shit down. Who has delete capabilities on DiD:TT? If worst comes to worst, we can always email stuff, too.

So if anyone gets any more posts deleted, raise a stink right away, here on TT.

Dear Jessica,

So the only reason I knew that dearestjessica was for sale was because it came up in my list of 'blogs similar to Descent into Depths'. Probably because we link to her blog below, ya? She's maybe wondering who the hell we are, although checking this page will give it away. Jessica, if you're reading this: hurting scans as a verb, not as an adjective, FYI.

So okay, now we've bought up all the blogshares. Now what? Does something magical happen?

Cinder!

Ha!

Rob, that is so cruel. So funny that I laughed out loud, but very cruel.

Matt Damon.

Matt Damon

Blogshares is bad

More blogshares.

dearestjessica is now available; Vrill just bought 1250 shares of that child hurting passion.

U CANT B SERIOUS!!!Q

Yeah, noticed that. So, this blogshares thing is basically a mass scheme to get people to read other peoples blogs I guess. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Hey, did you check out the 'voting on type of blog' option? Some foreign guy voted for us a bunch.

Bequeathed

Huh, some Daddy Warbucks guy just gave us a lot of Blogshares...

Have a look at your accounts.

Again?!

Dude, I am changing the mainpage editing.
No more erasing my posts. It is bad enough to be storylined, but erased?!

I am making a killing on blogshares. I am going to buy the Potion Guild out.

OMG! A passion for hurting childen?! Someone should BoingBoing that thing! Too funny.

Day traitor

Okay, I'm on board with the blogshares thing, as should be apparent.

Yeah, NPCs get some special skills. But hey, I didn't even have to roll for Vrill, Cinder just has the special NWP 'Bad Internet Connection': Roll a d4, on a 1-2 your post gets through. On a 3, your post goes to another website. On a 4, you are stunned for one round, do not post today.

In totally unrelated news, check out the user profile here:
http://dearestjessica.blogspot.com/

Stop her before she hurts another!

I found this via the random blog thing. It's my new sick joy.

Huh?

Hey, where did my post from this morning go?

I tried to break down that door. It disappeared. Don't make me start lowering security clearances now...

Not a gin man

Paul, sorry, I'll make some corrections to Marivhon's profile. Sorry, thought you were a gin man. I'm a gin man now. Although really there's a time and a place for all of god's drinks.

Yeah, Vrill, not the guy to play it straight. I mean, I've storylined you guys worse in the past; no one's dead, at least, none of the PCs. I won't say any more here about it in the peanut gallery. And the header thing, the little castle icon is sweet. Maybe we could be like 'Google' and change the jpg as the season or adventure dictates! That would be pleasing.

This is table talk Eddie.

Ed, I assume that you meant to put that post on the main page... I'll just go ahead and do that for you.

Paul, is the Blogroller back up top? I guess I made the header too wide for all screens.

post drunk on gin....never CAPITALIZES spells pourly.....hrmm

nice header but could we get the Blog Roller back up top....

Huh.

I feel a bit violated after that last encounter. Geez Vrill sucks.

Hey, check out the new header! That'll make it harder to post at work.

We are the only ones.

Yeah, not exactly like DiD. None of them have been updated in months either. We are a rare breed.

Watch the Ranger video on the Italian site. -Fucking hilarious.

Italian d20

Yeah, pretty soon, Cinder's about to give Vrill all his cash and magic items and apologize for being a dick to him all these months. And then politely stand 30' away preparing for a fireball. I give him til this weekend.

Anyway, check out these sites:
http://marfresbo.blogspot.com/
http://www.livejournal.com/community/zombie_stove/18388.html
http://rocksysquest.blogspot.com/
http://theroadtowar.blogspot.com/

I think these are descriptions of table top games though. However, there are also many sites that run games, sometimes multiple games, on forums. Some of the sites you've linked us from are like that, or have long lists of such sites. I found nothing quite like DnD though.

And the Italian thing is awesome. Check out that d20.

The suspense...

Maybe Cinder just waits outside...

Hey Rob, did you say that you found some blogs of people doing something liek DiD? I can't find them. I can find plenty of blogs about gaming and whatnot, but none where the blog is the game.

Rob, you now have security clearance level 4.

Yeah, Rob, you are now Admin on the campaign page. Sorry about that.

Trying to write dissertation, stay on target, stay on target...

Nice new feature: we now have a button on the mainpage that gives our stats on a Google map. Check it out.

A new critter

Awesome, the campaign page is simply awesome. Thanks Mark! Thanks also for finding the map and putting it in there.

Because of the nature of this combat, I won't really be posting round updates until everyone has posted their action. Hmm, radiant leopard...

Were are almost rich.

BTW our Ad on the main page has earned us $1.10. I think that if we get to $100,000,000, we could make our movie.

I wish I was an adventurer.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie. I wish that there were more like them.

I tell you, if we ever hit the lottery, we should make a campaign for movies. I think that we could take it even farther than what's been done. I was talking to Ed about it. It would be great to have a series of movies that wasn't working on the same theme from beginning to end. Character development and conflict would be the only priority. Not, "My enemy is my father, or I need to save the universe" from the get go. Start small and pathetic. -Grow.

Anyway, I did like the characters in Serenity. The interaction of the party was one of its best qualities.

Dave, Fist of Odin

I really hate this Vrill guy.

Sarpagal 6

Ya, watched The Truth Hurts... 8 Bit Theatre is great stuff; really, the link should be to 8 Bit, as 8 Bit always evolves.

Serenity. I think it goes beyond somewhat intelligent, Mark. For better or for worse, I've watched a shitload of Joss Whedon's genre TV, and the guy is a master. Buffy was often campy, but got better and richer as the seasons went on. In my view, by the time Whedon got to Firefly, it was basically like watching an awesome fucking campaign develop arc by arc. Back to Serenity, the narrative structure of the movie is flawed only by the somewhat pat ending and dependency on the character dynamics built up by Firefly the TV show. But the characters, my god, they're the best I've ever seen in any movie or TV show. The global narrative is cliched of course- it's an adventure story. But the local cliches though are mostly sent up (though not all, the Shepherd had to live on just long enough to give his speech); makes me fucking jealous. Hell, I've even used a few of his plot devices- the one-mystical-girl army, researchers and viruses or the like, and the surprise death of character #2 (used that one in exactly the same way... used it twice it was so good, and made one of my players cry).

Speaking of which, here's a bit of news... I'm likely running a campaign again. Sarpagal 6, all new players. I'll tell more when I know more.

Marivhon

I thought you you had played this game before.
ms is Move Silently
hs is Hide in Shadows. bazooka fuck. is well I don't have one and would really like to about now. I have some elf vision too, so you know....elfsight, not bad.

Serenity now.

Ed and I just saw Serenity. Yeah, pretty cool. Campy, but somewhat intelligent.

If you haven't already, click on "The Truth Hurts" link.

I have a bad feeling about warehouse 713.
