Bay 12 Games Forum

I knew a kid in middle school who said his grandpa was the best chess player in the world and they put him up against a computer and he was playing chess as hard as he could but there was so much electricity in his brain that it exploded.

I don't even know the context but it really makes me laugh.

You know, if you are an adventurer who joins a "boring" kingdom that is basically at peace with everyone and no major monsters, you could have the populous offer the adventurer more mundane quests, like:

Quest #1
Woman:  That Mrs. Friedapples bought the last rabbit stroodle at the inn last night when she knew I was looking forward to it!  I'll give you this trinket if you dig up her milkrose garden and bring me a bouquet from her precious flowers!

Quest #2
Teenager:  I'm so in love!  Can you find out if Grapevine Whirringvalley likes me too?

Quest #3
Foreign Dignitary:  It is time our kingdoms are united in trade, but the king won't see me because of the hideous wart on my nose!  Will you negotiate a trade agreement between our countries, or find me a wart cure?

What do you guys think?

Hey guys!  Rainseeker here needs your help.  We're coming out with a new version of DF Talk soon, and I need some funny stories about the current releases to have context for the show.  Maybe I'll even include them in the show, who knows!

Rules: 
-Put comments in yellow. 
-Stories in white.
-All stories from the last 6 releases (or so) are welcome
-Hopefully they are at least slightly humorous!  Tragically so are even better!

-It's okay if you've already posted it somewhere else!

Thanks, guys!

...stopped pigs from thinking that they are selling things at the market...

Pig:  Get your bacon here!  Links!  Breakfast patties!

ToadyOne:  NO!  BAD PIG!

Pig:  I am ashamed.

EDITED on 7/7/11

WCDF 2011 Meetup is July 16!  See below for detailed schedule!

July 15 we are encouraging people to go camping at either Whiskeytown Lake or Lake Shasta, both about half an hour from Redding.

We really hope people can come!  Let us know soon so we can plan appropriately.

Tarn is going to be there!  For those of you who want to meet him, this is your opportunity!

!!!PLANS!!!

July 16

9:00 Tour of Lake Shasta Caverns (Non-mandatory, but ToadyOne, ThreeToe, Capntastic and Rainseeker will be there.)  2 hour tour costs $22, but is really cool.  Be there on time or you'll get left behind!
Location Website:  http://lakeshastacaverns.com/

EDIT:  Be sure to buy a ticket for the 9:30 tour!

12:30 Meet at Marie Callender's, have lunch, listen to Tarn, kibitz afterwards until about 4:30 when we get kicked out.
Location Website:  Marie Callender's

Cost for everyone is $15, which includes buffet lunch and modest tip.

I'm putting this here even though I know it's not totally kosher; however, most of the people I know are here. 

I'm writing a web comic!  I'd love everyone to check it out!  http://rattownstories.com/

I'd love it if you would come to the creative projects part of the forum and participate in the discussion!  It's right here:  http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=78817

Hey guys!  A while ago I posted here that I was working on a web comic project (can't find the thread any more).  The website isn't perfect yet, but it's there!  I know this community doesn't look for visual perfection, but content, so I would be honored if you guys would be the "beta testers" for my site. 

It's about a city where rodents and cats live together.  At its heart it's a detective-buddy comedy.  Let me know what you think!
