[Hivemind]What did you say?

[demiurge1138]

I am not an avatar but merely a ssservant of the perfect and divine Great Horned Rat.

So Skade lied to me. Hmm...
I believe my disciple should pay less attention to the lillends and more attention to the facts, shouldn't he?

 

[demiurge1138]

The sound of a dial-tone echoes through the HIVE...

 

[Sniktch]

Ssskade doesss not lie, for it isss Carnifex who hasss revealed himssself to be the Horned Dessstroyer, and alssso a Mack Daddy to boot.

He hasss ordered me to dissspose of the Great Oozemassster in Ohio, sssomething that will be done before the end of the Great Gen Con in Old Indee...

 

[Skade]

*is the Great Horned Rat*

Come Vermintide I'll eat all your souls

See, he proclaimed his divinity, plain for all to see. The lillends keep me busy sure, and that PA you sent me makes sure I don;t have to think much (the experiment with atomic powered toilet paper dispensers was a success, I might add), but I know when someone claims divinity.

At least wait until they drop to the third page; I like to drop into old threads sometimes and see what I missed...

Seems reasonable. *shrug*

Hey Mark, nice to see you!

Your holiday was a smashing success for the e-publishers.

I owe you a beer @ GenCon!

(I'm sure I asked you this already, but my memory is short, horter even when I am in a creative burst as I am tonight - so, Gonna be at Origins?)

Glad to hear it went well for you (and everyone)!

Beer, eh? That's a beverage, innit? I'll give it a try, I suppose...

Up in the air about Origins, still. I've heard that Gencon, Origins and GAMA break down as: Gencon = End Users, Retailers and Distributors / Origins = Some End Users and Retailers / GAMA = Retailers and Distributors. Is this the case. more or less?

...and asss we ssspeed towardsss a new thread I plan of new waysss to bring death to all flesh-things...

GAMA is purely for the publishers, distributors, etc... it's also a good place to sell your freelancing talents.

Origins is GAMA part 2, but with the public invited. It is the second biggest Con Stateside (generally) and is a pretty good plce to make a showing and get back into the swing and ready for the MASS INSANITY that is...

GENCON INDY.

Where the fans eat each other to get at the latest mongoose release, climb over one another to buy product and hold sacrifices in the name of (insert rising star game designer here).

All in the first four minutes after the gates open.

THEN it starts to get fun!

Good, Sven finally got that atomic powered toilet paper dispensers to work (I just hope you didn't have to try any failed prototypes)
I apologize for the mishap, Sniktch. I didn't realize I have multiple worshipers of the Rat here. With the Oozemaster involved, this could either lead to a great new alliance or another Godswar. And I'm sure none of us want that happening.

"What do you mean, they're made out of meat?"
"Just what I said, they're talking, thinking meat."
"Thinking meat? Don't be ridiculous!"

Looks like a good analogy. I've been going to Gencon on and off since 78 but have yet to go to Origins or GAMA (the latter because I've never been pushing products, I suppose.)
