Power Down

That’s a whole lotta Bach

Well, after yesterday’s (more or less) metal extravaganza, some relaxation is probably in order. So here’s some nice, soothing music with no mention of vikings, axes, pirates, blood, Gnaeus Julius Agricola or the Earth perishing in flames…

Bach – Prelude to Cello Suite No. 1
Vivaldi – Winter II Largo
Bach – Air on the G String
Bach – Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring
Beethoven – Moonlight Sonata
Pixies – Here Comes Your Man
Falling Joys – Lock it

Power Up

I’ve probably mentioned most of these tracks at some point or other, but I’m having a rough day at work and needed some pumping up, so here they are again…

Cro Magnon – Caledonia
Laibach – B Mashina
Tanzwut – Tocatta
Course of Empire – The Information
Amon Amarth – Valhall Awaits Me
Alestorm – Wolves of the Sea

Sure, after listening to all of those you’ll probably feel like punching someone, but that’s arguably better than wanting to fall asleep 🙂

Mortal: The Screwed

Just had an idea for a new White Wolf role playing game where you play an ordinary human in the World of Darkness setting – Mortal: The Screwed.

The players start by creating characters with skills, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, motivations and highly detailed histories. Once everyone has created their character, they roll 2d6 on the following table…

2 – You are killed by a Vampire. Roll up a new character.
3 – You are killed by a Werewolf. Roll up a new character.
4 – You are killed by a Promethean. Roll up a new character.
5 – You are killed by a  Hunter, who mistakes you for a Vampire. Roll up a new character.
6 – You are killed by a Mage. Roll up a new character.
7 – You are killed by a Changeling. Roll up a new character.
8 – You are killed by a Mummy. Roll up a new character.
9 – You are killed by a Demon. Roll up a new character.
10 – You are killed by a Kuei-jin. Roll up a new character.
11- You are killed by a Wraith. Roll up a new character.
12 – You are hit by a truck. Roll up a new character.

Hours of fun for everyone! 😀

(Yes, I know you can play as a mortal in the New World of Darkness, but I’m a traditionalist! ;))

Nothing to See Here, Move Along

Most years I do something wild and wacky with the site for April Fool’s Day. This year I simply haven’t had the time. So, I’m afraid, there’s nothing to see here.

If you do want something wild and wacky however, can I recommend OMFGDOGS?

Oh, and Wikipedia is having it’s usual fun.

Charity Time

Vooks of vooks.net has a great idea.

Dick Smith Electronics are getting out of the games business (wait, hang-on, no they’re not apparently) and from Monday are selling off their remaining stock at ridiculous prices. Really ridiculous prices. Vooks suggests that if you’re taking advantage of their array of $1 and $5 games, buy a few extra and donate them to either Child’s Play, or to your local children’s hospital.

How about it folks?
