D&D Demotivators Episode V: The Demotivator Strikes Back

[Douglas]

I have to ask, what game IS that, anyway?

Star Control 2, a great masterpiece of the old DOS era. The original doesn't work so well on more modern Windows-based computers any more, but there's an open source port of it you can download from here for free (with official approval of the original developers - heck, they're the ones who made the source code public to make the project possible in the first place). The Star Control name is trademarked and currently owned by a company I'd have to look up, so the port had to come up with a new name, which is why it's called The Ur-Quan Masters now.

[Sgt. Cookie]

Alright, I'll have a look if I have the time.

[Xiander]

Fair Warning: I found the linked site on my own this morning. I installed the game and next time i checked it was 16:30...

[WildPyre]

Focus people!

Nice.

Hmm, I wonder where the Thraddash would fit. On second thought, I wonder how many different places on the chart the Thraddash would fit if you count each of their various Cultures. Think there's enough variation for all 9 alignments? Feel free to bring in the possible options for the new one the player can start in game.

Did you mean something like this?

I can't stop laughing at this one.

Seriously, I can't. Make it go away.

though, to be fair, the only place aquaman actually sucked was superfreinds - in evrything else he has had superstrength/bulltproofness from the offset...

though that's still no excuse for the costume

[theMycon]

That'd be impossible. Star Control 3 already exists.

What are you talking about? The company that released Star Control, and SC2, never released a SC3. And they certainly never sold the rights to a company that decided the Arilou's sole reason for interest in Earth is to steal human organs. Or that the precursors turned into cows.

[Saintheart]

That, indeed, is the entire problem.

[golentan]

Anyone have a link for a full alignment chart generator?

That is both awesome and accurate, but that's not the real professor, it's him from universe B. Not that it would make a difference; the professor's as chaotic as it gets.

I found this one while looking for an alignment chart maker. It's not technically a demotivator, but I don't think it's ever been posted here and it's too good not to put.

I definitely agree with the lawful column, but I'm not sure about the rest.

I'd say the Lawful column was upside down, but that's an argument for another thread, and we're all allowed our own opinions on what games we enjoy.

Also I think I'd throw GURPS in True Neutral, Place Hackmaster on there somewhere under Chaos... Hmm yeah, like I said, we all have differing opinions on the games we like.

Shouldn't Paranoia be on there, probably as Chaotic Evil?

3.5 is deceptive and punishing, it's an exemplar game of "those smart and selfish enough to seek out power and explore the options that seem weaker win, to the extent that you can win this". 4e is straightforward and "sure, you can optimize, but it won't do anything but make your numbers bigger. The smart are rewarded, but the weak can still keep up". I fail to see your point.

And yeah, Exalted is sooo CG. You get bonuses for following RoC, and they insert stuff because it's cool, regardless of balance.

[Tavar]

Nonono. FATAL is CE.

[The Glyphstone]

Nonono. FATAL is CE.

Yeah, but does FATAL's rulebook have a front cover? It was only ever PDF/text printed.

[Agrippa]

Why are Dark Heresy and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying categorized as Neutral Evil and Chaotic Evil respectively?

As I said, it's an argument for another thread, and we're all allowed our own opinions. If you want to debate the application of an abstract like alignments to a rulesystem for a game, I suggest you start a separate thread.

[Randomguy]

This calls for a project for someone to make a front cover for FATAL just to remake the chart. And everyone on the cover would be dead.

It required bringing up repressed memories, but I think I saw a cover for FATAL somewhere. I'm sure as heck not going to look for it.

Our use of Thrown Improvised Weapon (Balor) in a recent game confirms this.

Thrown Improvised weapon: Dm Pc Target: epic litch. We got soooo much comeuppance for it and it was sooooo worth it.

I too remember seeing a cover for fatal.

You were lucky, Beowulf. I had the terrible idea to attempt the FATAL game on my computer. Poor thing drowned itself the next day.
