    Fear and Loathing in Shadowdale

    We were somewhere around the Dalelands on the edge of the forest when the pipeweed began to take hold. I remember saying something like, "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should take the reins..." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like...

    Sorry for the downtime

    I have been authorized to send you a sampler basket containing trial sizes of many of our quality products. I think you will find that the rumors that the NothingHygeine line stains your nether regions cerulean to be nothing but the basest of lies.

    Sorry for the downtime

    You must realize that as of the last board meeting, the executives at Nothingland (NYSE:NTL) have plotted this quarter's budget. Let me tell you good sir, the R&D allotment for our popular S***s and Giggles line is tremendous now.

    Sorry for the downtime

    We were thinking of making a buddy comedy out of it, but we couldn't find an orangutan on such short notice.

    Gencon Couples, Help me!

    I would highly recommend against it then. It can go from zero to awkward in the span of an hour.

    Gencon Couples, Help me!

    Every now and again Doc manages to create a zinger so savvy that it zooms under the radar of most mere mortals. These stealth jokes should be cherished when they happen, as they are rare and beautiful.

    Gencon Couples, Help me!

    This conjures many mental images, but most of them involve a bat'leth.

    Gencon Couples, Help me!

    Once again the topic of the hive of scum and villainy comes up. It's such a pretty hive, though.

    He banged. He banged. He banged at the wall until his knuckles bled in the flickering haze of the latino ghetto. A fly crawled across his cracked lips as he sobbed soundlessly. Santa Muerte passed through the crowd and with a bony finger to her veil granted the final mercy to those who knelt in...

    Why is Palladium so ant-d20?

    ...and all three really stink compared to the original games. They should've left well enough alone.

    Why is Palladium so ant-d20?

    Palladium isn't even close to #3. RIFTS doesn't have anywhere near the market penetration and distribution that GURPS has. Sembieda may like to think he's in command of the industry's #3 company, but RIFTS is a relic, and it'd take a significant revision and marketing campaign for it to be...

    Steve Jackson Games 2005 report

    Because it's a finite market, and the market isn't "D20/D&D", it's "roleplaying games." So if you glut the market, some segments are gonna suffer. The D20 boom was an interesting time, with major booksellers actually stocking companies like Green Ronin, Mongoose, and Guardians of Order...

    The other day upon the stair, It was upon him before he knew what was happening. No footsteps, no shadow, simply lunging, greasy fingers clutching at his mouth, pulling his jaw loose from its moorings. I met a man who wasn't there. Its face drew level to his, eyes stitched shut, nostrils...

    The Syphillis Saint shared the black grail of her loins with her flock as she granted them passage into the inner mysteries of the Tabernacle of Absolution. Below 23rd street the hive thrummed and buzzed, workers following a phermone trail, mandibles clicking out a hypnotic tattoo, a binary...

    Hardbounditis

    WotC most definitely has it. White Wolf seems to have caught it as almost all the new World of Darkness books are hardbound even if they're slender enough to be paperback. What do you think of it? Does it provide a higher-quality product, or is it just an excuse to charge more?

    The klaxons blared in the creeping fog of the neon demon night...

    The Sin Eater went spiraling into Hell, leaving his corpulent shell behind, a million tiny cruelties trapped in his rolls of fat. Nobody mourned him, for he had mourned them all in turn. Urchins made a ragged kingdom of castoffs among the broken glass. Threadbare dukes and contessas held court...

    The klaxons blared in the creeping fog of the neon demon night...

    The Mother of Atrocities smiled a whore's grin, her scrabbling, mewling children sweeping as a pale tide through the alley. The Tiktokman chimed thrice, and was silent. Dollars for dinars, dinars for deutschmarks, deutschmarks for dirham. A dead raven was impaled on the subway tracks. The...

    Oversexed? Where will GenCon find these fabulous sybarites?

    Wanna Know What I Miss? The Pantheon!

    It'll at least take a football helmet filled with cottage cheese and naked pictures of Bea Arthur.
