Imagining the next level of oppressive DMs...

"I'm really excited about this Arthurian Legends game you're putting together for us. I know you said we should all be races that appear really close to human... and I've been thinking either Thri-Kreen or Giff. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure you weren't going to do anything cheesy and have the NPCs treat me differently than any of the other party members just because of how I look."

Hey, the only reason everybody else in the party is playing a bunch of Aasimar paladins and clerics questing for the Holy Grail is because they lack imagination - my half-fiendish tiefling warlock (that looks like Morrigan from Darkstalkers) who's literally the daughter of Satan and couldn't care less about the Grail (except that finding it will piss off Daddy) is awesome and original. So you totally have to let me play her again...

As you know, there are known knowns; there are things you know youknow. You also know there are known unknowns; that is to say you know there are some things you do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones you don't know you don't know. You know?

It well may be that in a difficult hour,
Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
Or nagged by want past resolution's power,
I might be driven to unblock you for peace,
Or trade unblocking you for food.
It well may be. I do not think I would.

There are some days I don't know why creators/publishers bother to do anything considering the audience they're creating for.

I was really excited that Sandman is renewed for season 2. But then I immediately felt a horrible sense of foreboding. What if Gaiman goes all power trippy and restrictive and doesn't add any Orcs to it!?!?! Will he use a lame reason like trying to distinguish it from his Rings of Power series on Amazon!?!

One of the readings at my wedding. . .well, kinda.

Of course, Sandman could totally get away with a Tolkien pastiche and have orcs. . . it is about dreams, after all.

Yeah. I'm not all that familiar with Sandman (I watched the show, haven't read the comic yet), but Tolkien's or D&D Orcs absolutely could exist in the Dreaming.

I'm disappointed that with so many orc lovers on Enworld we couldn't even spring for a movie sequel to Warcraft.
Yes, I'm unashamedly one of the few who loved it (and I have never played the online MMORPG)
