Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
While we're on the subject, Dark, could I ask a favour/ question of you. Putting it simply. The favour: could I join you in an RP run - I wouldn't be able to take too much time off my schedule, but it sounds fun.

I've played with players like that before, and they're not fun, also they give rpg gamers something of a bad reputation. There's actually a book on podiobooks that had a really interesting premise but was terribly executed. the idea was what happened when rpg player actually became! their characters in the game world by some sort of magic. The problem? the author planely knew nothing about how rpgs were played, or the people who played them. When he represented the game, it was basically the gm telling the entire story and the characters just listening, and making dice rolls. Half of the characters were evil and obsesssed with power and killing each other, - and the entire group which was all male all seemed equally obsessed about, - , things not concerned with rp! Indeed, the first thing most of them did when getting into the rp world was find a bunch of prostitues. even his one female character he represents as this ridiculously naive girl who just goes on about love all the time, and he even has the gm say having a girl in the group means I can do some less violent plots - interesting as half of my rp group is female, and indeed my russian friend is probably more blood thirsty than I am! So, the amount of wrong ideas people have about rp is a real shame, and the sterriotypes of people who do it, and the fact that there ar! players who just want to sit around and roll dice and don't actually do any real roll playing at all isn't good from any angle.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Tom. Well I've never really taken that brand of christian seriously anyway, sinse the amount of things they say are some how connected with satan, from the internet to star trek to people who are gay is just ridiculous, so I wouldn't particularly pay that much attention to their opinions of rp, sinse their opinions about so many things just are a bunch of ill informed rubbish. Even among the more reasonable though, I've noticed tabletop rp is not very well understood for some reason. As an example, my brother's uni society was called the gaming society. On one occasion, one of their meetings was interupted by a massive load of anti fox hunting protesters who had the crazy idea that gaming meant hunting! Needless to say they backed out looking pretty stupid when they saw people's rp dice, rule books etc. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Tom. Well during online games, muds etc is a little different, sinse quite often the people I've seen called captain kirk, frodo, doctor who etc won't actually behave like their characters, they just chose the name because it was one they liked, and themed their gear around it. indeed I've seen players called doctor who, bilbo and james T kirk on ce (darren is actually playing James T kirk I believe), but this is more of a homage to the character, than an rp situation. Myself, I don't really get into rp and backstory when I'm playing characters in an online game, sinse usually I'm more interested in interacting with the game, it's quests and mechanics than any sort of creative rp experience. That is why I usually always call my characters dark or dark empathy, which is as much a personal name to me these days as Luke is. I'll occasionally do some sort of running theme with naming things, so my ships in core exiles have been first the soprano, then the metso, then the alto, and now the counter tenor (I hope I don't run out of voices before I run out of ship upgrades!), but I don't generally attempt to rp, sinse as far as I am concerned it is just me personally playing the game, doing quests etc, born out by the fact that often the quests and actions in such games are pretty standard heroic ones anyway.

Thanks to the SOPA and PIPA acts the film and music industry tried to push through Congress a lot of U.S. internet service providers are going to be putting software in place to track their customers internet activities and will report on them to law enforcement if they download music, movies, and electronic books from torrent sites. It is unknown if this is simply another scare tactic, but the fact of the matter is law enforcement and governments are beginning to crack down on torrent file sharing and will most likely make a few examples before they are through.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi jacob. That I can understand, though to be honest when I was in those situations myself, what people mostly did was create a basic character concept, rather than a literal npc. So for instance you would say be given a dwarven mercinary chracter sheet, with your various items on it, and be left to fill in name, and any vague background you wanted, but have your skills, stats and equipment all sorted. This was actually a nice way to get into the game, sinse you could draw on an architype you personally liked, but were free to expand it. One of the best incidences I had was in a very crazy, steampunk, trans temporal game called I believe time bandits. I was offered several concepts to try for a one off session, gunslinger, beurocrat, brawler, and went for of all things disney princess! Sinse however she had massive physical stats, I played her as this sort of slightly psychotic sterriotypical disney heroin, who would give people long lectures about peace and love and beauty, then clobber them! :D.

well med kits are the way forward although its hard to take a health boost when you are surrounded by zombies of course it goes without saying best armour and good weaponary is a must, and you still get slotted lol. i have to agree about the rush you are experiencing when you have found all that lovely ammo, and you are down to 3 percent health and your miles from the safe zone and you have to skirt round zombies that you can hear off in the distance, i always tell myself not to confront too many at a time but i agree things should be left alone, perhaps you could radio up a helicopter if you had found a tank of fuel so it could airlift you back to the safe zone that would be good me thinks.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Ben. Forbidden planet isn't in london. It's a chain of shops devoted to rp, science fiction and various other things. There's one I've seen in nottingham, one in newcastle, and even one in skegness, also forbidden planet is only one example of such a shop sinse there are various ones around, my brother goes to one called travelling man in Nottingham run by a local firm where he plays his ccg card games, though they also do rp. As to uni, as I said, most university societies are fairly relaxed as long as your vaguely the right age, or will know people if not. As I said, I went and played DD when I was 18 with the local uni society even though I wasn't at uni myself. I find it hard to believe that there is absolutely nobody! local, unless you live in a tiny little village somewhere, but unfortunately the only way to actually find groups who do tabletop rp is usually ask someone within the interest sinse it's still something of an underground hobby, which is why I suggest finding an rp related shop such as forbidden planet or asking the uni rp society as a good place to start. as for in person conversing, wellI'm not sure about that one, though it's quite possible that when my thesis is done I'll be going to far more anime and sf conventions and the like, indeed there's a really nice regular Dr. who convention near to where I live which i went to a couple of years ago but would love to get back to if I could, they had Colin baker, terry molloy (who plays davros), and before he died nicholas courtney (I've got a photo standing with him, which is quite amazing considdering he was in Dr. who for 40 years, and that he died about three months later), so there is a possibility there, but it'll all depend upon what I'm doing.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hay Jacob, I do know what you mean about difficulties introducing people to a campaigne mid way through. My mutants and masterminds game has gone on for over three years now, there is a huge amount of plot and backstory, and it'd be pretty hard for anyone to join in mid way through, though at the same time this also makes it a great game to play with a distinct ongoing plot. Probably if someone else turned up in the area who wanted to play we'd start another game with them, rather than introducing them into mutants. Btw, one amusing thing about long time rp players is sometimes they talk about rp events in their actual lives, which can sound very amusing to an outsider. My favourite of these was when two of our players got into an arguement about one of them owing money for a pizza and the other paying her back. After the arguement had escalated and lots of references about her boyfriends lack of reliable repayment were made, she finally burst out in great disgust with you! left me chained to the anvil of dispare! refering to an incident in a campeigne they both played! that was pretty funny, and in fairness if someone had left me chained to the anvil of dispare I'd probably not trust them to pay for a pizza either :D. Even more ironically, they're getting married in september, though I don't know whether the anvil of dispare is involved or not, complete strangeness! lol! Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
LOL! And, yes, we also get some mentions of both the real world in our virtual world, and the reverse, and, we have like two separate campaigns/stories/sets of characters that we sometimes alternate sessions between, and, main thing is we make sure a person is really interested in playing for real before we bother getting them to roll up a full on character, and then let them influence actual parts of the story/campaign, etc., etc., and that's the other nice thing - both the current, 2 separate game masters handle their sets of NPC's in such a way that even the non-player characters have distinct personalities, and, both game masters have somewhat different approaches themselves, which also makes for a bit of variety in terms of playing style we try to make use of at different sessions. And, along the lines of that one, my secondary character is called Ichabod - name taken out of old headless horseman story - but he's more of a craftsman/ship wright, but, he's also damn good with the combo of his one-handed battle axe, and a round shield.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Sounds good. I've noticed different gms have different styles too. The gm of our mutants game makes great npcs and an interconnecting plot, however every single combat with him is like a huge, epic fight to the death, in fact none of his supervillains ever have minians, not unless they're super minians! :D. Another gm I know is great for story and ironic situations, and sticks in lots of moments for characters to be awesome, so expect huge armies of henchmen and then points for disposing of them, or to fight an entire flying airship full of baddies or the like. ironically, another great gm I know is actually my brother, sinse he runs amazingly free form games, where it's pretty much a case of the characters driving the plot, and he never actually tells players what to do or has that series npcs, he just says so then, what're you going to do? leaves everything up to the players, and then has plot sneak in along the sides, but my brother does sneaky very well a lot of the time :D. It's actually good to play with different gms and get used to different people's styles. The only gm's I really hate are those with no imagination who just constantly roll dice at you, sinse that's no fun really. Beware the grue!

Yup, and it's also quite funny to sort of listen to how certain GM's react to other GM's styles - my one friend's sort of standard approach to role playing when not GM'ing is to be the scaly guy that does all sorts of things that might make things happen/occur that you'd never really have expected, and we always reckon part of that is his form of criticism of his brother's GM style...LOL!

Re: [Audyssey] Bokurano Daiboukenn 2 question about stage 1
Hi, Stage 1-4 takes time. What I'd recommend is run close to the slime, wait for it to stop moving, jump the water wave and bash at it with your hammer. If it starts moving, stay out of its way, jump the water again, and repeat. As for the cruiser, it is possible to destroy it with the hammer, but it's simpler to stand just in range with the slingshot and pummel it. Whichever weapon you use, both enemies will take a fair bit to destroy. Karl On Jun 18, 2012, at 2:26 PM, Jess Varnell wrote: hi list.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Dark, Really? You mean if you have BitComet, BitStorm, Utorrent, or any other torrent software on your system you can be prosecuted in the United Kingdom? That's total madness. Apparently, the people who make your laws don't realize how much legal stuff is available through torrents today. Well, legal depending on who's copyright laws you are using anyway. For example, take Pendant Audio. They are a non-commercial group of actors who create audio podcasts of popular comics like Superman, Batman, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman. They have a few other podcasts such as Indiana Jones and Star Trek as well. The point is they are free, non-commercial, and more or less legal because they use a type of fair use fan fiction type license. While you can download current shows from their website all of the high quality back episodes are available through a torrent. Downloading those shows via torrent client is perfectly legal. Another example I can think of is music created under the creative commons license. There are a lot of decent bands out there who haven't been signed to a big label and have chosen for one reason or another to license their music under the creative commons rather than a restrictive license used by the RIAA. In that case it is perfectly legal to redistribute that music via torrents provided the person who redistributes the torrent include a text copy of the creative commons license. Finally, last but not least, is open source software. Thanks to Linux and other open source platforms there is a lot of programs floating around the web in source code format. There are some people who download the source code for these open source applications, package them for various Linux distributions, and offer torrents of binary packages. Since the software is licensed under the GPL, LGPL, MIT, and other open source licenses its not at all illegal to redistribute the software. Of course, I am given to understand that the copyright laws in the U.K. are rather draconian, and have not been updated to deal with all the open source licenses like creative commons and GPL. Which is really too bad, because there is a lot of free stuff out there that the U.K. government doesn't recognize as free because of their stupid outdated laws. I remember perhaps two years ago the Gnome Foundation, the guys who develop the Gnome desktop for Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD, actually had a major court battle in the U.K. over this very issue. Apparently the U.K. didn't recognize the General Public License as a valid software license and therefore the Gnome desktop and related applications were technically not legal in the U.K. This is a very serious problem, because people are really getting the short end of the stick. For one thing the Gnome Accessibility Group are the people behind developing the Orca screen reader, Gnome Magnifyer,Gnome Onscreen Keyboard, and other related accessibility packages such as ATK and At-Spi. In other words not only was the U.K. government denying people access to the Gnome desktop in the general sense they were also denying every blind citizen the right to free and low cost accessibility software because of their stupid, hard headed, outdated copyright laws. This issue just isn't exclusive to Linux users either. The NVDA screen reader for Windows is also licensed under the GPL. That's the same license as Gnome uses. Until the U.K. updates their laws technically downloading and using a free screen reader like NVDA in the U.K. is illegal as I understand it. That's nuts! Excuse the rant, but I think it is high time you Brits take some kind of action against your government. They need a good kick in the seat of the pants, a few heads need to roll, and someone has to have the guts to stand up to them and tell them this is how things are going to be. In the words of Twisted Sister, We're not going to take it! No, we're not going to take it! We're not going to take it any more! :D Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Bokurano Daiboukenn 2 question about stage 1
No problem. One thing that I forgot to add which will be increasingly handy in future levels is that the waves from the slime will damage the cruiser. So keeping yourself between the slime and the cruiser without getting in the way of either can actually work in your favor. Once there are multiple enemies firing projectiles, you will often find that enemies have killed each other without you having to do anything, which can be quite handy.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Dark, I suppose its just all how a person approaches the game. As I said for myself weather I am playing Srith, Core Exiles, or a mud like Alter Aeon I still try to roll play. Probably because since moving to Millersburg I haven't had any group to roll play with so I do it virtually through online games which suits me. In fact, I can remember when joining Alter Aeon I was very annoyed that the name of my main character was taken by someone else. I have played that same character on a couple of different muds and online games like Srith so wanted her to be in Alter Aeon too. Character is very important to me and although I know it was not intentional I felt like someone had stolen my character identity. I suppose if I gave her a last name or a clan name that might not have happened, but I ended up starting over from scratch with a new character for Alter Aeon simply because it wasn't possible to use my existing character. Cheers! On 6/18/12, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom. Well during online games, muds etc is a little different, sinse quite often the people I've seen called captain kirk, frodo, doctor who etc won't actually behave like their characters, they just chose the name because it was one they liked, and themed their gear around it. indeed I've seen players called doctor who, bilbo and james T kirk on ce (darren is actually playing James T kirk I believe), but this is more of a homage to the character, than an rp situation. Myself, I don't really get into rp and backstory when I'm playing characters in an online game, sinse usually I'm more interested in interacting with the game, it's quests and mechanics than any sort of creative rp experience. That is why I usually always call my characters dark or dark empathy, which is as much a personal name to me these days as Luke is. I'll occasionally do some sort of running theme with naming things, so my ships in core exiles have been first the soprano, then the metso, then the alto, and now the counter tenor (I hope I don't run out of voices before I run out of ship upgrades!), but I don't generally attempt to rp, sinse as far as I am concerned it is just me personally playing the game, doing quests etc, born out by the fact that often the quests and actions in such games are pretty standard heroic ones anyway.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Dark, Oh, I definitely don't take those sorts of religious people seriously. Mainly because its usually a lot of misinformed and extremely ridiculous suppositions based on stereotypes. I know people like that, my in-laws are some of them, and their opinions are usually groundless. Especially, when you think of the kinds of ridiculous things they believe in. For example, I remember my in-laws made deviled eggs for a cookout one year, and I asked for a deviled egg. I was told very sternly not to call them deviled eggs by my in-laws because using the word devil in their presents was very offensive. Good Christians don't use words like that in their house, and they went on and on giving me some religious lecture over deviled eggs or pickled eggs if you prefer. Another time my wife and I picked up a box of cake mix, and her mother had a fit because it was a Devil's food cake mix. We had to take it back and exchange it, because she refused to bake the cake. She refused because she believed it was Satanic. Obviously, people who are that extreme that won't call pickled eggs deviled eggs and bake a cake because it says Devil's Food Cakehave an extremely low opinion of Harry Potter, Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons, and probably a hundred of other things they have religious biases against. No amount of rational discussion explaining Darth Maul is not the devil but an alien Sith Warrior or that people who play Dungeons and Dragons are not Satan worshipers will sway them from their opinions. People like that don't know, don't wanna know, don't care to know the truth. All they care about is hanging onto their religious biases, and therefore no rational person should take them too seriously. Unfortunately, it is people like that who make it bad on other Christians and other religious groups. I certainly know not everyone who calls himself or herself a Christian are quite that extreme, but I certainly don't enjoy being around people who consistently tell me I'm going to hell just because I play roll playing games or read books or listen to movies they don't like because of their religious views. So I just brush them off. The only reason I mentioned it in the first place is to point out the kinds of misinformed and far fetched ideas some people have about roll playing games. Cheers! On 6/18/12, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom. Well I've never really taken that brand of christian seriously anyway, sinse the amount of things they say are some how connected with satan, from the internet to star trek to people who are gay is just ridiculous, so I wouldn't particularly pay that much attention to their opinions of rp, sinse their opinions about so many things just are a bunch of ill informed rubbish. Even among the more reasonable though, I've noticed tabletop rp is not very well understood for some reason. As an example, my brother's uni society was called the gaming society. On one occasion, one of their meetings was interupted by a massive load of anti fox hunting protesters who had the crazy idea that gaming meant hunting! Needless to say they backed out looking pretty stupid when they saw people's rp dice, rule books etc. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Tom. I could ask my brother for the full details, but As far as I know it is the torrenting process that is specifically illegal, not the gpl license. I've freely downloaded lots of stuff from pendent productions, darker projects, podiobooks etc, and programs like 7zip, chipamp etc, and there are lots of people in the uk using nvda. none of them get prosecuted, however you could be for using bit torrent as a process. While the copywrite laws are indeed ridiculous, in reality, someone will never be investigated for breaking those laws unless they are attempting to prophit from them, because police in the uk are generally much more relaxed and focused on actual crime, mostly because when such cases do get to court the judge would probably just dismiss them because judges in the Uk have far more legal power than in the states. It's like the laws related to drugs. A couple of mine are quite major canabis users, but never tak anything else. They've had the police in their house while they were smoking weed, and the police didn't bat an eyelid, sinse the police are far more concerned about people dealing in heroin, cocane etc than a couple of lads who like interesting tobacco. indeed I've admitted on local radio myself that I've taken cannabis, which was absolutely fine as far as the law goes. This is the case Mary warnock makes for the way euthanasia is treated in the Uk, being that while it is technically! illegal, and cases will be brought to trial, in practice nobody has ever actually gone to jail for performing it because everytime it's got to trial the judge has dismissed the case. So, while laws in the Uk are indeed more draconian when it comes to general copywrite, and while this is severely annoying for getting anything accessible (as I've said, the government is less than committed to accessibility), I don't think we'll ever see people getting their daws bashed down by the police for having copywrite stuff on their computer so long as they don't try to make money by selling it. Heck, my brother! is a solicitor and is so straight according to the law you could use him as a ruler yet has lots of copied cds and audio books, and several peaces of open source software. Actually I'll ask him about this next time I speak to him, sinse it's an interesting issue, and it might be that I have my facts wrong, or that the law has changed recently. As to standing up to the government and changing their mind, well any faith I had in the possibility of doing that went out of the window the day when myself, along with about a million other people wandered the streets of london to say we didn't want a war, where upon not only did we have! a war, but we had a war for a reason that was a total lie. This is actually becoming a major problem in the Uk, confidence in the government and voter turn out has dropped to such a ridiculous level, indeed that's why at the moment we don't even have one party in power but have this coalition government because nobody actually got enough votes to gain the needed majority. that is why the government has been trying to drumb up publicity, with first the royal wedding, then the jubalee, now the olympics, but sinse they've been spending millions on these events (the opening ceremony for the olympics will cost 60 million pounds in just thirty minutes), while at the same time making cuts left right and center to cope with the recession and reducing budgits to everything! among lots of people this hasn't gone down well at all as you can imagine, especially when during the parades for the royal wedding the police were going around the streets removing posters which protesters had tacked up saying things like we can't afford this! Getting back to copywrite though, while I absolutely agree with you that the major law should be changed, in practice because the law inforcement system is a bit more flexible, it doesn't make too much difference to individuals that it isn't.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Tom. well those sorts of christians are nuts, and I agree they give reasonable christians a bad name the same way extreme muslims give the entirity of islam a bad name (personally I don't like either group). When I was in colidge a friend of mine always used to introduce me to such people, because, as a philosopher I could always manage to tie them in knots. One of my favourite tactics was asking if mahatma Gandi had gone to hell for not being a christian, and when they admitted that he did saying well okay then, if hell is good enough for the greatest peace activist of the 20th century, it's good enough for me! In fact I've often thought if indeed those people are right and only people with those sorts of views go to heaven, I really wouldn't want to go to heaven! :D. It can however be extremely unpleasant when they decide to start a witch hunt. For example, my brother once had an awefull experience where he went to what he assumed to be a reasonable church. Outside, was a man collecting for the gay awareness charity. In the middle of the service the priest actually stopped and told the congrigation about the sinfull thing going on outside the church where upon after the service lots of people went across and gave the fellow at the gay rights stand a severely hard time, and yet god is love! Sometimes I think that the worst instinct humans have is to band together in groups and say everyone in our group is right whether that's national, religious, racial, even disability based. But before this becomes a discourse on ethics I'lls top. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi dark, Your statement about the use of bit torrenting software being illegal in and of itself was startling to me. That would be like outlawing the use of knives because some folks use them to stab their fellow bipeds. I did a bit of research, and I can't find that this is the case however. Obviously, downloading copyrighted material is illegal, but using a tool that allows file sharing isn't, at least as far as I can tell from my googling. Do you have other info you could point me to on that? I know the U.K. is getting a bit out of hand with the surveillance of its own populace, but forbidding legitimate software like this outright would be something else, though not totally shocking unfortunately. also, you may not have realized it, but your cash strapped government recently doubled the budget for the opening ceremonies to over 110 million dollars. It aint cheap to make rivers athletes can walk on, generate fake rain over an entire stadium, and bring in literally thousands of animals. apparently, they are going to turn the place into a massive idyllic british farmland. should be spectacular, and to hell with the homeless, they should have trained harder as kids apparently, then maybe they could be benefitting from the money dump. oh, and gandhi probably didn't go to hell for being a non christian, but he might have gotten nailed for being a fairly hard core racist. check out his time spent in africa for some quotes from mister peace.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Che. I was thinking specifically of some legal cases I've heard of where people have been prosecuted for using bit torrent, but as I said I'm not up on the current laws so it could've been the copywrite materials and the selling of those materials illegally, not necessarily the program, I just know the presence of bit torrent was used as primary evidence in those cases. There's an easy way to check though, I'll just ask my brother. As regards the ceremony, when I said 60 million, I of course meant pounds, which would indeed be somewhere in the region of a hundred million dollars. I'm sure the ceremony will be a spectacle, though whether all those old people who have had their pentions reduced in value, or those profoundly disabled individuals who've had their community centers closed will appreciate it I'm not sure. Still, if the government had brains they wouldn't be the government! :D. All the best, Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
