"Ready to Roll"

[buzz]

I heard this song as I was driving home from work today. Unfortunately, the band's Web site seems to be down, but I found the lyrics.

Flashlight Brown - Ready To Roll

I got a 20 sider on call
dressed up and ready to roll
Get up and choose alignment
dressed up and ready to roll

Midnight, torchlight down in the haunted cave.
Get some platinum the D.M. will turn the page.

Check out my thief he's got the black shield
dressed up and ready to roll
Fan out to scope that fortress
dressed up and ready to roll

Lawful evil a moral catastrophe
Half-orc, full-dork; the myth and reality

We may not know any girls
But we got graph paper guiding our way
We got confusion, delusion
And all of Friday night to kill.

Pick up the phone the pizza's still late
dressed up and ready to roll
We'll try to hide from Cyclops
dressed up and ready to roll

That was by far the best time that we ever had.
That was by far the best time that we ever had.

Get to the tavern have a few beers
dressed up and ready to roll
Pick up an Elven bar whore
dressed up and ready to roll

I'd have to hear it. I can't determine if they are taking a shot at us or themselves!

Nice to see them draw some attention to the game, though...

FWIW, the song is in the garagey-punk-pop vein that's so popular with the kids these days. Add that to the fact that the band is Canadian, and I think it was all meant in nostalgic good fun.

Playing: D&D3e, SWd20, M&M, HERO/Champions.

Running: Nothing, but continuing to stare at the copy of Dark*Matter sitting on my shelf.

The copy that you bought out from under my nose at the last Chicago Gamesday. Curse you, Buzz -- may your soul rot in Carceri forever!

Say, you wanna volunteer to run a Dark*Matter game this next time around? I'll play in it if you do.

Damn you and your custom smilies!

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to get any kind of game ready-to-run in time for the upcoming Game Day, unfortunately. Perhaps for the following one.

Granted, there seem to be so few people coming forward to run anything that I'll keep the idea in mind.

Custom smilies r00l!

OK, that last one was gratuitous...

Well, keep it in mind. Otherwise, this whole trip could turn into nothing more than an excuse to go RPG shopping.
