My gaming library is approaching perfection..

[jgbrowning]

Joseph Browning, Co-Owner of Expeditious Retreat Press, to his e-friends, e-comrades, e-publishers, e-enimies, on the great e-board known as ENworld, greetings. Know that We have succeeded in adding to the gloriousness of Our library through gratious and just endeavour. Newly acquired through force of rightous arms and the kind measures of Mastercard, and gracing the shelfs previously barren through being solely occupied by most excellent and creative works of such people as Gary Gygax, Monte Cook, Chris Pramas, and Stephen Michael Sechi, have now received a new blessing, such as the first rain falling upon a most parched land, the endcap, the mighty, the crowning achievement that is known as The Ultimate in Transgenre Gaming.

Truely, we at Expeditious Retreat Press have been blessed most wonderfully, for now, at last, after a long and dangerous travail through the desert of excellent gaming material, We have achieved the penultimate in gaming sourcebooks.

Yeah, fellow e-friends!, for We have now, on our groaning shelfs, that masterwork of creative gaming genius known most famously as, Synnibarr!

By my hand and seal, Joseph Browning, Co-Owner of Expeditious Retreat Press. Witnesses: Suzi Yee, Grumpy Bunny Our ardent protecter, Chops most valuable alligator of book protection, and Juan Carlos, tropical tree frog of love.

I know that Darren McLellan's review of World of Synnibar has made it the fave whipping boy of gamers everywhere, but I think it's actually kind of cool in a "RIFTS-on-a-mixture-of-steroids-gasoline-gunpowder-and-crack" kind of way.

I mean, I doubt I would play it these days (word is it's nigh-unplayable), but as a teenager I would've been utterly charmed by the weaponry that does Millions and millions of points of damage, and the "Nightmare Photon Bazoooka" class of weaponry (or whatever)

I mean, all things being equal, is it really all that much worse than that Foundation thing that got put out at the beginning of the OGL's life?

Ah Sir Teflon Billy,

Truely your words ring justly, for in the past few hours, nay! in the past two minutes of reading Synnibarr I have been enraptured with a sheer joy of madness and discovery. My heart leapt at the massive excesss and exuberance of the book. Truely Mr. McCracken was full of creative bursts and lacked no fuel for his gaming fire whilst he penned his work.

the real question is: do you have a printed copy of fatal sitting next to it?

For the uninitiated, the review in question:

Joe, be careful. A long, dark journey into the depths of the abyss is good for the soul, but you don't want to rack up frequent flyer miles.

LOL.

Please enjoy, Mr Browning.

But don't be tempted by those who would then guide you towards F.A.T.A.L.

They mean you no good at all.

Hound Post #1948 - The year that Columbia Records introduced the 33 1/3 LP ("long playing") record at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. It allowed listeners to enjoy an unprecedented 25 minutes of music per side, compared to the four minutes per side of the standard 78 rpm record.

Or Spawn of Fashan?
