Bal Sagoth would be cheating a little here, but one of my major current earworms is Nanowar of Steel - Genghis Khan (The Genghis Khan Song to End All Genghis Khan Songs)

(Honorable mention to their Iron Maiden pastiche "Afraid to Shoot Into the Eyes of a Stranger in a Strange Land")

Which skirt are you using with that? I've been designing sonja a fit with that top, but still trying to decide whether I want to go with trousers or bare legs.

Its definitely a great set

The only saving grace of Eddings is they did that shit way before they were a successful author team, and appear to have done their time and never done anything bad again.

At least I hope there's nothing I've missed

The other side is where its not treated as an authority challenge, but treated as a failure of willingness to think. "why should I have to do your thinking for you"

Im under no illusions that if I were to try and go up against any of the gladiators, my demise would be, to borrow the Hobbes phrase, nasty, brutish and short

The other stupid one was if you were a boy, but didn't have the "right" variety of adhd, they also missed it. Not only did they not know it presented differently in girls, they also didn't know it could present in boys that way too.

When I first started, there weren't that many games I'd call "rules light." OK, so my start was WFRP, and while it's by no means simple, it was nowhere near the level of something like Palladium. But there were very few "any old idiot" games that I remember.

Theres a reason why the running (old) joke name for larp is Cross Country Pantomime (and not, say, Cross Country Theatre or something.)

We dont (usually) lose sight of how absurd it is.

One of the funnier things I heard was an older friend of mine, who pointed out that all the "i hate the new doctor" stuff is waaaaaaay older than people think. When Pertwee was announced, there as a vocal contingent who said "What? the silly-ass petty officer from The Navy Lark?"

Is this the Latin equivalent of that old welsh standby "my hen laid an egg on top of a tree"

I can actually tell you this one. John Brights Regiment of Foote.

Because I had a brief stint with a reenactor group portraying them, and got to play with an actual cannon.

Nobody does, as he basically disappeared from socials after that (and since no action was taken, it didn't make major headlines)

JMS is a big fan of Blakes 7 so I think it probably ended up being an influence in his thinking for B5

Jeremy Soule - Wikipedia

There's a section in his wiki page about it:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_...

tl;dr version: he was accused of rape and sa in 2019 by a couple of women. he was never charged, but was dropped by the people he was working with, all his socials went away, and nobody's heard much from him since.

I might possibly remove Soule from that list. While he's always been a good composer, there's a certain amount of baggage there that I dont think needs to be associated with the brand.

I remember when they first started announcing the casting, and thinking "what, the kid from Hetty Wainthrop?"

He did good, though

and in reverse. The lead singer of Beast in Black... looks of a shaven headed metal vocalist, voice that launched a thousand stupified reactions from music reactors on youtube.

(2/2) as well", and the mechanics as presented never really worked. RPS may have been a sludge, but carrying a d20 or some cards was always much more sludgy and flow-breaking to me

There were many issues with requiem for larp, but the absolute most frustrating part was the system. Masquerade et al had their own Minds Eye Theatre subset of the rules which were simplified and ground up built for larp. I always found requiem had the approach of "we built it so youcould larp (1/2)

"You forget the terms of our surrender. The penalty of the killing of any Centauri by any Narn will be the death of 500 Narns including the perpetrator's own family! But I don't have to kill you. I don't have to do anything and I still get to watch you die! I find this most appealing!"

I'm reminded, by contrast of the Babylon 5 episode where Londo and G'kar are trapped in a burning lift, and Londo is insisting that G'kar help him in attempting to get out because together they actually have a chance, and G'kar basically goes "nah, this way I get to watch you die."
