I love how I was trying to hint that you could lead them there on purpose to try to figure out who they are, and you immediately jump to "We can lead them here on purpose and BLOW UP THE BUS DEPOT!"
I love you guys.

I was actually planning to write a whole piece and that was just the introductory paragraph, but I went to bed instead. I was going to go into how the cult clearly worships the four elements and the cycle of change and the volcano as a perfect symbol of such (thus Vesuvius (and volcanoes in general) being the hallowed mountain).

Yes

KoTOR is one of my all time favorites, and a game I still go back to some times. The sequel is pretty good too, and while I haven't yet had a chance to play through it with the content restoring mod, I've heard it's fantastic.

Love it. Is it intentional that the italicized words together say "Burning it all down?"

Why would ******* work? 

I'm with Bullet on this one. Too much "See what we did there?" meme ridiculousness in this. I had to stop when the Hackerman sent Kung Fury back in time using a Nintendo Power Glove.

That's really cool Herc, I love stuff like that.

Boter, if you want to throw up a recap thread since you've been writing them (and we love you for it!) that would be great. Maybe we throw the videos in there as well?

I'd like to create a thread for character sheets, but I'm not sure how we'd go about posting them. PDF links? Images? Anyone got a solution?

I'd also like a thread for back stories / other character fiction. Do we congregate them all in one thread or have separate for each character? Do we just put the back stories in the character sheet thread?

Man, as good as those meat logs looks, I kinda disappointed you didn't somehow actually bacon wrap sushi. I saw the title and was like "How the fuck?" then you establish it's not actually sushi and I was all "Oh.  "

You make some good points here, and I would like to address them. First, I'll admit I kinda screwed up. I picked a system that is more complex than I remember it being, then I delivered it as something where you had to do a whole bunch of reading and back story writing and had to always be available every week.

If you don't want to read the book, that's fine, I can tell you want to roll and eventually you'll get the hang of it. Yeah, it'll slow us down, but I can live with that, we're in no hurry anyway. If you don't want to write a backstory, totally fine, most of my players don't, it's super cool if you have one and I love reading them, but not having one is fine. If you can't make it every week, I'm totally cool with that, real life trumps games, and I'm happy to have you when you can make it.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is, if you want to join, test the waters, no commitment, I'm totally cool with that, my number one goal is that everyone has Fun, and I think more people would be more fun.

About the Nintendo Wii of gaming systems, so far I haven't really found such a thing. D&D is probably the closest, their D20 system is pretty elegant. What I've found is that people find the stats and dice to be intimidating, but if you remove them they find the rollplaying without stats and dice to back them up really intimidating.

This is it exactly. Also about showing up just to sit in and listen: you are very welcome to do so, even if you never intend to join. Back when I was in college we'd game in the dorm lobby and we'd sometimes draw small crowds of people who just wanted to listen in. As long as you're not disruptive, please feel free to just come hang out.

Yeah, oops.

Yeah y'all, someone else step up and run something. When I started the gaming group I play with, I was the only DM, now they're all competing for time to DM their own campaign and I'm not running anything, and I couldn't be happier.
