hilarious internet drama at its best. most of the interweb clichés. did i miss the nazi-part?

[Frater Perdurabo]

All we need now is an wannabe asian porn star with a dildo fixation to be made moderator and it'll be just like old times!

I thought we already had that (KoC)?

[VasikkA]

wannabe

I guess that rules me out.

In other news, the D20 Fallout needs more thongs.

No, you don't know what you're talking about

She really was a waste of tits. I say that in the most un-chauvinistic way possible, since it was my sister who pointed that out.

EDIT: Looks like GC's about to wipe their forum:

This forum will be updated to a newer version of phpbb on Monday. It is a possibility with my inexperience in web design that all posts and users may get deleted. If this happens, just re-register and continue onward in your discussions. Thank you for your cooperation, GCG

Then there's the obligatory fuckwit making excuses for a FOT-style butchering of Fo3, who similarly doesn't understand the pulpish design of Fallout, so of course he's GC's #1 <s>Asskisser</s> Fan!

To be honest half of people flaming them dont seem to have ever played a pnp rpg in thier life and most often just pull shitty coments out of their ass simpy for the sake of flaming.

Those that came off as most stupid where the ones whining that it should be fallout rules instead of d20.

Plus since when is the art in a pnp guide book important. Its a guide book that is suposed to be for dungeon master use only so he can create campaigns eazier in fallout world. Players just get to imagine everything that the dungeon master tells them and than act out their characters. So no mather how good art the book has if dungeon master decides that you enter a temple with girls in thongs than its gonna be fobos for you.

[atoga]

is that actually elara? fug.



anyway haris, the way they've implemented the d20 rules (in terms of traits, for example) is rather shitty and unfaithful to the original rules. do your reading son!

the other problem is the writing. not only is it non canonical-and a touch unbelievable, these guys don't even have respect for basic spelling and grammar.

and while good art is far from critical to the success of an rpg, it's a nice frill, no?

ban haris.

[Rosh]

Oh, look who comes to play when we need another example of half-ass work.

To be honest half of people flaming them dont seem to have ever played a pnp rpg in thier life and most often just pull shitty coments out of their ass simpy for the sake of flaming.

Moron, most of us HAVE, which is most of the appeal of Fallout because it is old-school. Those who are more experienced than the idiots who mix up the level 12 Perk of Tag! and the concept of Tagged Skills.

Really, if anyone doesn't know a P&P RPG, it's GluttonCreeper.

Those that came off as most stupid where the ones whining that it should be fallout rules instead of d20.

Well, aside from the original complaints about d20 versus how SPECIAL works, and about how the "two classless classes" sounds like garbage, people haven't really been commenting about it.

You're a bit late on this.

Plus since when is the art in a pnp guide book important.

When it's supposed to be indicative of the universe's style, retard.

Its a guide book that is suposed to be for dungeon master use only so he can create campaigns eazier in fallout world.

Please tell me you weren't so hopelessly stupid to substitute a "z" for an "s" and then try to make comments about people's intelligence.

Also, if the book is supposed to make the campaigns easier, then why is the intro background fiction so horribly fucked that it couldn't be called acceptable as a fan-fic first draft?

Players just get to imagine everything that the dungeon master tells them and than act out their characters. So no mather how good art the book has if dungeon master decides that you enter a temple with girls in thongs than its gonna be fobos for you.

This excuse is wholly irrelevant, and I guess your stupid ass would be just as happy with a "temple with girls in thongs" as cover art, for how shitty your understanding of Fallout's universe has been through your numerous failures to rape it.

I might even download such a game, it would be like omfg fallout porn or sth

[Haris]

You do realise if they had actual fallout rules exactly like they are in the pc game that pnp rpg would be 100% unplayable. It works when pc rolls the dices for you. But if a human dungeon master is suposed to do all the counting and dice rolling a combat would take forewer.

Basicly pnp rpgs quality is not what so ever decided by the book its played with. Its all about how good or shity dungeon master you have. The book is there just to help him out so the game is somewhat playable. He is free to use any art or books to enhance players expirience of his campaign. He can tweake rules in the book as it pleases him to create best campaign that he can.

no shit haris, that was already proved with jason mical's version of fopnp, which many people found unplayable & tried to remedy. the point is that many of gcg's proposed rules so far gone from the original special that gameplay won't resemble actual fallout in the least, and furthermore a lot of the traits are totally munchkinesque.

and while you're right about the dungeon master determining the overall quality of the pnp, that's irrelevant here because we're debating the quality of the book & its rules. if the book is so unimportant, why would you bother buying it at all? get with the program, kiddo.

When i played fallout pnp i used old Mutant pnp rpg. It was kinda cyberpunk rpg with wierd mutants and all kinds of non fallout crap in it. All i had to do was remove from my campaign the world it was played in. Indstead of huge town it was a blown up world and i played with 5 people that all knew what fallout was so there wasnt much explaining needed in how the world would look. It worked perfectly and i used fallout pc game pictures to enhance the expirience but most often not even that was needed cause everyone knew how stuff like power armor or deathclow looked like.

Only thing that the book helped with was massive amount of damage, distance and so on calculating tables.

Bullshit, certain shortcuts may be taken, in particular for burst weapons, if the GM decides to. To put it in deference to the completely mentally incompetent like you, it would be like deciding whether to roll the damage of each magic missile at once, or individually for each missile, and then you get into the nuances of rolling spell immunity for each missile as it hits or the entire spell. The same with fireball, which does different amounts of damage to those within its effects, and THEN gets to the point of the half damage saving throws.

There's a point where a GM would just say "fuck it, the kobolds are dead" when you drop a fireball into their midst. The same could be said for weak enemies and a minigun burst or a grenade effect. If you're going to complain about calculating distances and such, then you probably haven't played real tabletop games.

You can either be as complex or as simple as you care to play. You, child, are obviously quite simple.

It doesn't help when the source book is total shit. This is speaking AS a GM, game designer, etc.

Please pay attention, child, or keep your brand of clueless to your own brand of Fallout rape. Your idiocy as a late spin-doctor on top of GC's is just too fucking hilarious.

EDIT:

which I suspect were just lots and lots of emails sent by a guy called SpoQn

Turns out the stupid shit is a moderator there, which confirms my suspicions of their activities as an obvious PR plant to falsely generate "interest".

GluttonCreeper, you are so shitbag...

as someone who has never visited the duck and cover forums, and who stumbled across this forum by acident, i'd like to point out that as poularity grows, negativity is inevitable.

As the second person who registered onto the forums, they found it by accident. Right.

EDIT: And now dipshit is continuing Chuck Cuevas tradition by deleting threads, parts of threads, and dictating the discussion to make only the GluttonCreeper team's lies visible without any feeback available.

If you don't want feedback, shitheads, you shouldn't have made a forum.

Now their moron moderator remembers to post forum rules.

1b. Derogatory/inflammatory speech will not be tolerated. Aside from the obvious no-flaming clause, which all posts must adhere to, use of terms such as "raped" to mean "owned", "gay" to mean "lame" or "retarded" to mean "stupid" is strictly forbidden. Consistent abuse will earn warnings from the staff or see your posts edited or removed.

No, when we say GluttonCreeper "raped" the Fallout setting, we mean actual rape. When we say "retarded" to mean that your team is mentally incompetent, we mean retarded. Not merely a bit mentally handicapped or with CP. Only you guys seem retarded enough to believe that we'd believe your constant lies.

[Redeye]

Why not just use the combat rules from Aftermath?


Kinda fakey though.


Not nearly enough flowcharts.

[Jesus Christ]

I am REALLY PISSED!!!

They deleted ALL of the productive posts in PiP's art thread.

I PM'ed the admin with the fallowing

A great deal of progress had been made in the art thread until your new mod came and deleted all the posts (I am guessing without reading them).

Two members had been arguing amidst a VERY productive exchange between the artists and fans.
I was excited and still held out hope for this project until now. Please delete my account as I no longer wish to take part in this forum nor do I wish to acknowledge its existence.

I would suggest that we ALL stop posting there as of now.

PS. SpoQn is the new mod.

[Wex]

I'd say all accounts will get deleted anyway in the monday's cleansing. That's too convenient not to happen.

The artists might be willing to listen to reason, but let them come here, nothing that much constructive was accomplished at those boards anyway. Then again, even if the artists give the setting justice, developers will not. John would have to come to talk, and if he haven't done that so far, he probably won't now.

SpoQn's comments hint that he had been a mod all along. It wouldn't surprise me if he was indeed a plant, or John's alter ego. Even his sig says "there is no spoQn..."

[Wolfman Walt]

Wait....so who decides who has the "Official" forums? Is this an official product or something? Switch it back so DaC is the official forum.

[Jesus Christ]

Let us unofficially be the official forum, by officially being the only place any of the fans will post.

[Wolfman Walt]

Amen.
