Alteran's Amazingly Anachronistic, Altruistic, and Antagonistic Random Banter #123
Random Banter?
Random Banter!
I think you know what this thread is for... But just in case you don't:
It's for random discussion of stuff you want to talk about but can't, won't or shouldn't make a new thread about. This includes almost everything. Everything but spam.
That being said, there are rules. Which are laid out below. If you are not familiar with them, please read them (basically, just be civil). If you are already familiar with them, fine, don't, it's your choice. (But you'll only have yourself to blame if you forget one of the rules and accidentally break it. )
Rules
Spoiler
1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.
2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".
3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.
4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.
5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."
6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."
7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.
8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.
9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.
10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.
11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.
12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.
13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.
And here, linked for your convenience, are the previous incarnations of this thread.

As stated above, this thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. That is to say, this is a forum, not your IM client. People have set up an unofficial IRC chat thingy for that sort of thing. Not only will you not annoy the people here, you will also help increase the popularity of the IRC chat. The latter is great... the former? Not so much.
So... have fun, I guess!
The new thread! She is mine, ha ha ha!
Hmm, now how do I work in the anachronism...oh well, I'll figure that out later.

Don't mind my poor ego! I shall go and cry in the corner now, for I no longer have reason to frequent Friendly Banter. If anyone needs me, I'll be in SMBG!
So... umm... Stupid TVtropes sucking up my life![/attempt to make a reply that's actually productive]

Haha! A new random banter!
Also, I'm back guys. I know I didn't quite say I was leaving, but I had some computer parts replaced, so now I have 4 GB of RAM and 500 GB HDD, and it's nice. I missed the playground so much though!

Hello there Afro, it's not often we see you around these parts. You'll be pleased to hear that I may be testing out your beloved 3.5 edition sometime in the future. Don't expect a conversion, I just thought you'd like to know.

Against us Earthdwellers. Haven't you ever found it suspicious? The moon is always up there, watching and circling. He's watching all of us, you know. This may seem like an innocent order of literature to most, but you shouldn't be fooled. He obviously has something sinister in mind. I mean, do you know how hard it is to get Amazon to even deliver to the moon?

You'd be surprised where I show up. I run the Heroes discussion threads on Media Discussions and I often show up here to ask... well, let's leave it at "questions" and hope nobody remembers, eh? Stupid foot.

We'll see. At worst, you might just become "bilingual," which is appropriate for a Canadian.
Re: Alteran's Amazingly Anachronistic, Altruistic, and Antagonistic Random Banter #12
I personally only have the one, very confused Welshman in my family tree.
I think he's mostly confused due to the fact that there aren't any other Welshmen further up(or is it down? I can never remember...). And somehow that ties into a Cherokee that may or may not have existed or have played a role in producing my ancestors with my other ancestors.
*crunches on hummus toast* So, what's up, eh?

That, that picture, is.... BLASPHEMY!! a Hello Kitty Darth Vader .
I should really print that out and stick it on my borther's computer screen .
Anyways, I find myself lucky, i can't stand TVtropes, and i've only found myself sucked in by it once (the Oh Crap trope). It's great because i've seen others waste hours and hours on that site, just because they clicked one link to it from oots

I suppose we shall see. I enjoy learning about a new system, but it's a little annoying to be working off of borrowed books and the SRD. Still, better than what I'd get for 4e if I had no books.

Hmm. I've always wondered what you did with the books, since they don't really make them in your size...

I am very happy to have the SRD, it's just with the large amount of splatbooks that are out I've heard about a lot of things that I won't have access to. Thanks for the offer of help, but I don't think I'd end up using anything I don't have in a book anyways. As for rule questions, two of my friends have more experience with the system than I, so I can usually ask them.

I can't imagine it's easy to find spreadable human.

I usually just keep PDF copies of the books, but I use many online references also for most my splatbooks. Other people are always a good fallback though. Except when they disagree.
