More crap to get rid of
Jan. 22nd, 2005 06:40 pmSo as part of my quest to relisten to all my cd's I've gotten to a couple I haven't listened to in years. And up right now is The Last Action Hero Soundtrack.
Sweet, merciful Tod this stuff sucks. The Ac/Dc tune is ok, but could be ANY of their stuff from the last decade. And the one rap song, "Cock the Hammer" by Cypress Hill is pretty good. But Def Leppard and Aerosmith have put on rock ballads. Tesla as always leaves me wondering, people liked these guys? I liked these guys? And I was sober?
And now the finale...
Michael Kamen and the Los Angeles Rock and Roll Ensemble Featuring Buckethead. "Jack the Ripper". Which is actually ok, for a weird ass instrumental number. But what the hell is with that name...

Saturday Game
Jan. 22nd, 2005 06:51 pmEvery day I game with Kyle I want a gm to kill his twink characters more and more. Instead what does Dan do? Lets the dice fall where they may and rewards him with an MAGIC, INTELLIGENT no-dachi (Japanese two-hander). First he allows for a 10% chance of a sword result being a Samurai weapon and then has it come up a two-hander. After FINALLY several weeks ago managing to destroy the magic no-dachi Kyle had gotten by selling Gagwaller tech.
And then to add further to making the rest of us useless in combat Kyle gets a RING OF FUCKING HEFTY FUCKING DAMAGE! For those unfamiliar with HackMaster this ring guarentees that a weapons damage roll will be at a MINIMUM double the max roll. But HackMaster has penetrating dice for damage (example: on a d6 roll a 6 is re-rolled, and that number -1 is added to the total). So damage is still rolled just to check for penetration. But now Kyle's damned Half-ogre Samurai does a minimum FORTY TO FIFTY points a hit on most targets with his no-dachi. HIS MAGIC, INTELLIGENT NO-FUCKING-DACHI!
Between this and Jane's Dagger of Blender Setting: Quisinart in the 2e game, I'm wondering why I'm bothering...
It also doesn't help that in my Sunday game Noah's letting Kyle run a Halfling Fighter (Beast-rider) with a GODS DAMNED SABRE-TOOTH TIGER! Which he rides around the fucking streets of GreyHawk with nary a care! Why is everyone letting him get away with this shit? I learned my lesson when I let Kyle take martial arts skills for twinked out battle mage. Kyle needs to be told no. And frequently. Or he'll run roughshod over shit.
