D&D General Alleged disgruntled NuTSR insider spills the beans.

I still find it hard to believe that he named himself after the villain from the D&D cartoon. When I first encountered him I was sure he had to be doing a bit.

I wonder about that. I thought it was an act too. Not anymore. I really do think he has issues separating fantasy from reality.

Oh! That makes so much more sense. I thought he named himself after the Marvel Superhero group, and was just a really bad speller.

The whole "cursing people with eternal damnation" thing shows that he's missed one of the basic tenets of the Church of Satan, since they neither believe in an afterlife nor damnation.

Also I'm not sure how you can claim to be a practicing Satanist and worship Cthulhu given that those belief systems are somewhat incompatible.

Which suggests to me that he doesn't understand one or the other, or possibly both, in any more than the most superficial, edgelordy, scare-your-churchgoing-mom way

Chadcifer has a nice ring to it...

Well…Satan’s actual full name before The Fall was Lucifer Chad Morningstar. (Emphasis mine.)

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

When I was a teenager and in a band, I had a stage name. Lots of people did. Some of the most annoying folks were the ones that took their made-up names way too seriously.

Who gets to do the heel-face-turn?

My guess? The mole…if there actually is one.

Tangent:

A few years ago, I used to bowl in a league on a team with another musician. One night over post-league dinner & beers, we started talking stage names. A few minutes into that, I suggested we form a band in which everyone took a stage name that was the REAL name of a famous musician who play the same or similar instrument. So, for example, the keyboard player would be Reginald Dwight (Elton John’s real name).

The band’s name? Alias A.K.A. Alter Ego

Think they're being inventive and pushing heel only storylines.

Perfect. They can call themselves "Villains Federated Wrestling", and their major plotline for the year is stealing three-letter trademarks. They keep getting confused when they find VFW halls all over the country, but they're all filled with old guys and nobody is wrestling. So. they challenge the old guys to wrestle in grits, but they're villains so they eventually lose.

Thanks for the update about Venger Satanis being kicked off of RPG.Net. It's a weird thing these right-leaning people do when in taunting a liberal or left-leaning policy. They receive a response, and then are somehow shocked they've been repulsed at all. For as much as they talk about snowflakes, they are the most acidic, and thinnest-skinned people of all. I've never seen such sensitivity.

I have never seen such people so willing to swing punches wildly, and yet cry so loudly when they are eventually hit back. They literally go from being bullies to being victims with no transition between at all. It's all just drama with them. They're addicted to attention.

That's Venger Satanis, and Justin LaNasa, and Ernie Gygax, and Stephen Dinehart, and Victor Dorso. They pretend they have a huge army ready to do their bidding, and then complain when their 'army' is a half-dozen people who won't listen to them, so they complain that WotC is conspiring against them and paying them off, or betas are conspiring against them, or young people who play 5e are in on the conspiracy, or women in gaming who are sick of being discriminated against, or LGBT peoples who are tired of being told that they're "disgusting".

They are the most vocal of minorities. They don't generate success, so they can only manufacture drama.

Seems even OSR types won't have anything to do with them.

VFW =Very-Weird you can fill in the F. Ernie in wrestling trunks. Thanks for the mental image Umbran.
