In reference to Bill's upcoming STAR WARS Traveller game...I do hope he considers creating a couple AP episodes for it. If I remember correctly he is known for a couple voices on some stupid video game or something. I bet that thing would be QUITE popular on the interwebs. It was the french orc in lord of the rings. But that has nothing to do with vulcans so shouldn't really apply to the star wars game.

mobro.co/EricPierson I promise I will write again sometime about the vengeance of Karen against the Sexecutioner. Sorry I concentrated on my own personal horror in that story... Oh yeah, on an unrelated note this episode reminded me how that same group at one point had a Paladin named Sir Floyd the Pink. I will never think of him the same way again... C'mon man inquiring minds want to know. JiB OK< short version here since I now have a working computer again 1. One of Karen's players was Sexecutioner. She worked him quite hard after that. 2. In our next campaign the full vengeance of Karen was known when at around 14th level in a D&D 3.5 campaign she challenged Sexecutioner to combat in a gladiatorial arena because he kept bragging about his character. Her rogue mopped the floor with his fighter. She also brought up the original horror story when all was said and done, something like "You wanna see my hoo-hoo again?" 3. Sexecutioner and his wife were blessed with a baby girl. While Sexecutioner has mellowed, we like to remind him that there are young boys out there who will be like him and no amount of shotgun shells on his part are going to chase them all off... Mind you, most of these players are from Pennsylvania, since I live not far from the boarder, but it is an area of Pennsylvania that seems to have more in common with Kentucky. I am glad I kept Sexecutioner in the game since he eventually grew up. He was just a late bloomer...

I’m relieved to hear that Sexecutioner eventually met his comeuppance. Also that Karen’s long memory brought her own brutal revenge to the table, and let the other player know why his face was being used as a mop in a dirty arena. We also enjoyed TWO HORROR STORIES (the most dramatically appropriate number of horror stories) this episode, and I truly feel bad for that poor boggard (Phil?) who had his first RPG be so miserable that it was also his last. Did Stu Venable ever put together the game that might balm some of the psychological damage away? A friend of mine in high school wanted to teach me chess. He told me what my first available most might be, then moved his own piece, and repeated this for three moves at which point he said “I win!“ He didn’t want to teach me chess, he just wanted to win. I have never been interested in playing chess since then. About the time Stu ran his college GURPS game, the school’s gaming group had a Diplomacy session, ostensibly to to teach new players. The guy running it explained all the rules, without ever mentioning the game’s central assumption of potential betrayal. The guy running it, unsurprisingly won handily, after manipulating all the n00bs exactly where he wanted them. I have never again been interested in that game, either. I relate to Phil. It would be great to say that we should all forgive and forget, but forgetting is hard. We cannot change the way we perceive her own experiences. Well, we can but I don’t think it’s worth taking behavioral/cognitive therapy just encourage myself to play chess or Diplomacy again. Re: the Pink Paladin. I think we can all agree - Gina is a freaking genius. Best callback EVER. XD gina had another great one in that topic, when the homophobic player was invited upstairs for a ménage a trois, and she said, “Ah, the old D&D 3.5…” I think it was glossed over because the implied presence of a halfling is unvoiced.

Yes, I slogged through to the 16th page of threads to find this one, just to see if there was any follow up about Karen and the Sexecutioner.
…
Shit, now I want to see that title on one of those Amazon self-published kindle novels that promises nothing but cheap thrills…

SORRY/NOTSORRY Yes, that's an immature young man in the executioner costume; it's meant to reflect the assailant's mental level. But most kids probably know better.

I don't know if Phil would ever play again. I've offered, and told him it might be a wonderful experience, but he's not ready yet...
I hope the Diplomacy game wasn't of my organizing. I enjoy a good game of Diplomacy, but if new players don't know they can be right bastards, that sort of defeats the purpose of the game. It's the wrong kind of metagaming.

It was organized by the same guy who later played a megalomaniac necromancer in your GURPS game, a character whom I later killed, using that assassin based on Otto from A Fish Called Wanda. You know who. ;-)

I can just imagine his whiny voice gleefully announcing his back-stabby moves.

Stork tripped over my inner dork trigger regarding the Joker.
The Joker is true neutral? You would think that he would occasionally do something good. That character is so chaotic, is there any kind of code there, when I look at the definition of Chaotic Evil: "A chaotic evil character tends to have no respect for rules, other people's lives, or anything but their own desires, which are typically selfish and cruel." It should probably have his picture next to it.
