Skinny Puppy was releasing records in 87? [Insert puzzled Tim Allen noise here]

@christopher – Oh no!! With that God comment, my ego has achieved supercriticality. This might be the end, y'all. Hahaha, any chance you guys are also plankton enthusiasts? Diatoms, dinoflagellates, cyanobacteria ... Kristi is prescribed skeletons – Holy playlist, Batman! Love it!

@ Brett- yup! Since '85. @ DeeKender - Haha, Christopher is a zoology buff, but I'm not sure where planktons fit into it. I'm the one more fond of plants of the two of us because THEY'RE PRETTY OMG.

I have gone nuts, I have a lab report but instead I did this Hahaha. It's incomplete, just mostly based on the bands from my character but it's a freakish large start.

Yeeeah! Great playlist Indea! I started one for Ian's 'mixtape' but it's slow going, great tracks you've got there. Here's mine so far:

Those playlists all look great fun! Once I stop mooching library internets, I'll give them a proper listen! I always like listening to music I might not otherwise. You always find stuff that you love but would have never found yourself. I mixed mine up a bit, but I'm a shocker for just using shuffle to mix everything. Then I'm also really picky, yup I'm a bad person to control the music on a car trip. hahahaha

Haha me too, I have a really hard time deciding on the order for a playlist. I spent wayyy too long working on these, but I guess they're good to have around for later too so it's kinda worth it.

Oh, orders of playlists are just a horrible and rewarding waste of time. I made a few playlists for my V:tM game and had it so that the intro and outro of each song was eerily similar in not only tone, but instrumental sound. It always was hard to get the end of the playlist to sound like the beginning until I just cut the playlist in the middle instead. It was a time killer but it was worth it so I never had to change the song in the middle of a scene.

Oh man, vampire roleplaying with Suyoi? DID THEY PAY MONEY??? They shoulda! ;D I used to GM Shadowrun but my players all had the attention spans of small babies so no music for them. Humph!

Honestly, V:tM isn't my thing. I just felt bad because I enjoy playing in it and my roommate always runs it and never plays. My storylines are far too convoluted to work on a Vamp scale, but give me enough magic and nobility and it works. Hence, the almost never dungeon crawl D&D campaign... on temporary hiatus due to excessive player drama. -.- I swear, I'd rather have the people with no attention span than people who can't get over each other. I play with my roommate, my old roommate, my old roommate's sister, my old roommate's father, my old roommate's baby-daddy and my old roommate's daughter. D to the rama, I swear its never worth the energy I expend. Great storylines and complex npcs tossed into the fire. I had a whole game planned once and I decided to try and have someone who just has their character 'work on stuff in their forge' get involved like he said he wanted... and I swear this happened.
I wrote out three pages of snippets of conversation he overheard before the grand enclave of the elven meeting took place. I have him three days and he had free reign to call me and ask me any questions he wanted. Come game time, I play out the first scenario and describe one NPC who entered the room and said something to him. The damned idiot looked over at me and said, "How do I feel about this guy?"
I literally said, accidentally out loud, "Well, that was a waste," and proceeded to run with remaining group members. You can lead an idiot to water, but you really have to hold their head under to make sure they drown.

UGH. Bad roleplayers. I hate that when you do a bunch of prep and it goes to total waste because they can't spend ten minutes to consider anything, like you described. Good call to just leave him behind. In Shadowrun we called those kind of guys "van polishers" based on a particular player who just... well... spent time working on his car. -_- Mine was a bit drama-y too. One of the players was the former GM for the group, and I think he resented me doing it instead of him, even though he had 'quit.' He was one of those GMs who insists on REALISM!!!! Even if it's boring and not fun for anyone. Once time I planned this elaborate adventure, and he convinced the others to turn down the job because it 'paid too much.' WTF?!!? So I started just making up shit from that point on and trying to kill them constantly. That was fun. Especially after they wouldn't stop whining that my characters "sound gay" or that I couldn't accurately describe whether a female character was "hot." OMG. SO GLAD to be playing with you guys now. ;O;

Ha ha ha. We have lots of horrid group slang-isms.
Dwarves- Always cause problems and usually lights people on fire. But I still insist its the party and their liberal use of the Grease spell.
Banging on the Forge- Believe it or not, it was an ELF who spent all the time on the forge. Useless sack of twigs and berries.
"But how do I *feel* about it?"- Ugh. So much pain.
"I failed my common sense roll." -A guy was so awkward in his insistence on playing his character 'to the letter' and rolled dice to see if he had the common sense not to place a hookie magical amulet they found on his neck. I only wish the Necklace of Strangulation made an appearance.
Leave the elves at the wagon- Half the group would leave at 11pm and be weenies and not stay up with us until 3 am, so they would always get left to tend the horses at the wagon, much like the 'van polishers.'
QUESTION! (said in a loud voice)- Always breaking the continuity of a dark scene by speaking said word loudly, usually during an important descriptive portion.
'Where's the save point?' - When someone decided to try and make a Mage;the Ascension game into a Final Fantasy platform, which failed horridly. Now, whenever a game is just balls-out horrible, we ask for the location of the save point to call it quits. We were of the similar mentality of 'Why are we going to play a game about a game when we know about the game? Why not just bust out the console and play it?'
And then there are specific scenarios that we have been plunged into repeatedly.
One person when they run usually kills off all horses or pets or anything. Never fails. Then, same person, will have everyone wake up after a long dream remembering nothing and being surrounded by other sleeping people. She didn't like it too much when I played a rogue and just started robbing their sleeping bodies. Eh, couldn't pass up the opportunity.
As for the 'ghey,' I ran a sub-story regarding two male lordlings who hooked up occasionally. And then I had some pseudo-lesbian decide she was going to whomp all over it. Her date to a ball ran into an old girlfriend. When the player found out, she was like, "Oh, I'll show him." and proceeded to write a huge missive to this other woman, romanticizing and attempting to woo her. Her house (guild basically) was fined for inappropriate relations, unwarranted sexual advances, the whole nine. I told her again after she handed the note to me about the scenario with the ghey boys and she just didn't listen. Gah, players. What can you do?

@christopher – Oh no!! With that God comment, my ego has achieved supercriticality. This might be the end, y'all. Hahaha, any chance you guys are also plankton enthusiasts? Diatoms, dinoflagellates, cyanobacteria Diatoms I remember fondly from Middle School, unlike almost everything else. Actually, I remember a thing or two about being so randy it was like being on MBA and X at the same time every day, but that's a mixed memory - good and bad. The good part of that memory is that human butts were a million times sexier back then than they ever could be since, but... Wait. Algae. Did you know about that nudibranch that co-opted chloroplasts from some microorganism so it can totally do photosynthesis now? If I remembered that right. Kelly's right, I'd usually be more up ons the Kingdom of Animalia, but plankton are a special case. I'll take a diatom over a paramecium any day.
