More Helpful RPG Charts: And the Winners Are…

Rather than apologize for the umpteenth time about posting the contest results late, I thought I’d mix things up for being too lazy to format all your massive RPG tables in my bloggin’ interface, so I just copied-and-pasted it from Word, and it looks funky but it saved me a lot of effort and I’d do it again if I had to. i’m sure 95% of you guys know a better, smarter way to do this, but that would require me looking things up on the internet, and you know I can’t be bothered to do that. Anyways, your return journey to the land of ridiculous RPG tables begins on the next page…

The DC film adaption table! roll between 1-10 to determine the fate of your favorite dc superhero film!!!

1-ok adaption. The film is a moderate success and takes only a few liberties with the characters. Neutral effect on all players.

2-synopsis submission-the writers hired for the adaption go insane, rewriting the script to their own interests and changing the key plot points. Does not affect Executive class.

3-copyright cop-out: The original creator of superhero comes out of the woodwork, demanding the rights to their character be given back to them. invokes +3 sympathy from fan class, otherwise no effect on production.

4-Director Defector: Director drops out of production citing “creative differences”. Replaced by mediocre director, who recieves -2 potential.

5-What happened, Warner Brothers?: seriously, what the f***?

6-fanboy freakout: any film with less than 5 potential recieves critical damage from fanboys, who insist that it will never live up to the original comics.

7-Alan Moore:You will never make Alan Moore happy. -5 negotiating skill.

8-Rinse and Repeat: Executive recieves +2 superdickery by calling for a reboot of a franchise.

9-Pyrrhic victory: The movie is a box-office success, but is shunned by fans for its inaccuracies. Super effective when combined with Handsome actor class.

10-impossible: DC pulls their s*** together and makes the best superhero movie that isnt about Batman. Cancer is cured by the tears of fans everywhere. Rob Bricken shuts down Topless Robot and lives his dream of creating his own version of the grid.

21-24:  You do awesome.  They think you are funny, intelligent, and intellectual.  They also start a conversation about how the last time they dated someone from their gaming circle it broke up the group and they will never do it again – You go home alone- find out later that night the other 2 players started dating.

Mabel and Mabel’s Cable Fable Table

Charile Chaplin co-star Mabel Normand and the world’s first female tiger trainer Mabel Stark enjoy getting together to watch cable programming based on fables and fairy tales, from the Reese Witherspoon-starring Freeway to Harvey Fierstein’s The Sissy Duckling, thus making it difficult for the party to distinguish each encounter for what it is.  In addition to watching the fable-based shows, these two cable TV fans are 30% likely to know valuable information about what networks DISH might be dropping, 15% likely to make something up to gain a universal remote, and 20% likely to be, or work with, a Nielsen ratings viewer.  You may find it useful to use the sub-table below to see which cable fable programming Mabel and Mabel are watching:

01-10     “Emperer’s New Clothes” on Faerie Tale Theater – Showtime 2

11-25     Jonathan Livingston Seagull – Turner Classic Movies

26-35     Freeway – FX

36-50     The Company of Wolves on Up All Night – USA

9: stormtroopers set their weapons to stun, fire on you, knock you out, and leave you laying on the ground. 

10: same as 9, but the stormtroopers also take holovideo of you in compromising and naked positions.

oner. 

12: stormtroopers look at you suspiciously, but you can’t really tell because they are wearing helmets. 

13: stormtroopers are about to question you when one of them says “what’s the point?” takes off his helmet, and shoots himself. All of the other stormtroopers freak out and you run away. 

14: you chase the stormtroopers and accidentally follow them into a much larger group of stormtroopers. Roll again. If your second roll is 1-10 the result stands. If it is 11-20 their are new more stormtroopers who have been digitally inserted, as well as some unnecessary tie fighters.
