The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Dr. Chuck Tingle is a national treasure and tae kwon do master whose works belong on the Mount Rushmore of literature, alongside Shakespeare, Joyce, and James Patterson.

Which is why it doesn't matter what we call One D&D; whether it's 5.5E, 6E, or something else altogether, it's going to be completely eclipsed by The Tingleverse: The Official Chuck Tingle Role-Playing Game (yes, this is real):

Sporting events at the Billings Community Center are ending in angry outbursts, and in the woods nearby, sightings of The Manifested Concept Of Rage are becoming more and more frequent. Could the two be related?

An entrepreneur moves to Montana and opens up a petting zoo for creatures of The Void. They claims the cages are secure, but when a big storm rolls into Billings some of the creatures escape. Was this their plan all along?

Your reverse twin shows up with a mysterious box, looking for a place to stay.

Strange noises are heard from the basement of the Billings Library at night.

These adventures and more await you in The Tingleverse: The Official Chuck Tingle Role-Playing Game, which thrusts you directly into the middle of your very own Chuck Tingle story. This rulebook contains everything a group of buckaroos will need, including four playable types (bigfoot, dinosaur, human, and unicorn), five trots (bad boy, charmer, sneak, true buckaroo, and wizard), several unique ways, as well as hundreds of cool moves that are specially crafted for each unique play style.

Within these 270+ pages you will also find various magical items and a menagerie of monsters, ranging from pesky Void crabs to this villainous Ted Cobbler himself.

The only question left is: what are you waiting for?

The adventure begins now!

How did I not know about this? How do we not have a thread about this?

HOW DO WE NOT HAVE ALL THE THREADS ABOUT THIS???????

 

[Parmandur]

Yeah if we find ourselves in a situation where we have to debate the definition of "great literature" we've already lost.

If this thread proves anything, it's that we cannot come to a consensus on the definition of "pizza." Yet, we persist.

Love is real, buckaroos.

I prefer to define by exclusion.

Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza is not pizza, but an abominable casserole used to soak up all the ketchup they don't put on their hot dogs.

I might just be too picky about giving out the superlatives.

There are plenty of books that make my spirit soar, or draw me in to a legendary feeling or world, or where the characters feel like family. And then they'll have one thing I don't like or not stick the ending, or I read a paragraph by someone like Josephine Tey at her best and be reminded how their wordsmithing isn't that.

I guess I could start using great for things I'd give an 8/10 instead of 10/10. Maybe easier to just not worry about it.

I would make a distinction, between personal experience "great literature" and culturally received "great literature." Still going to be a lot of debate on how to define that latter quality, but here we are fifty years after Tolkien has died talking about his work. Historically, most authors do not remain in print past their lifetimes.

Case in point.

Most people can still recite the Nantucket limerick.

Doesn't make it great poetry......

.....or does it?

It does, in fact, make it most excellent poetry, speaking in my capacity as a poet (dons useless fancy hat).

But reciting a great piece of crude lyric is easier than printing a multivolume novel and keeping it on store shelves for generations.

By the same token, New York Pizza isn't pizza, because pizza is food and cardboard is inedible
