[100 Word Idea] Toons=Faerie

Trying something new. 100 Word Idea is pretty much what it says, writing up a coherent idea in 100 words. This first Idea hit me at work, where all my best ideas spring from.

Toons=Faerie

Capricious, indestructible, mischievous.

Classic faerie myth or classic toons? Sometimes hard to tell.

Ain't  I A Stinker?
Take the average Bugs Bunny cartoon. Funny, yes. Now put the situation of a rabbit tormenting someone in a horror lens. That scenario becomes a nightmare of destruction when the tormentor can bend reality. Death comes more than once....

Humpty Dumpty. Ax. Sun. Discuss Amongst Yourself.
Watch pre50s cartoons, from the bizarre black & whites to the mad technicolor dreams at the bijou. The horrors of the graveyard and bipedal animals singing and playing. Everything is alive. Sometimes “normal” beings are drawn into the cartoon.
 
 
Into Faerie.

Toontown might be another name for Arcadia.

That's All Folks!

I May Do The Blogging from A to Z April Challenge

Hello again long time no see!

Just thinking that I may do the ongoing Blogging from A to Z April Challenge. I am not definite about this yet. I'm thinking of doing something for either the Toon RPG (Steve Jackson Games) or the Ghostbusters RPG (West End Games). Both dead games, but both very fun games. Right now I am leaning toward Toon, but I'm still pondering my options.

Demonitron: The 6th Dimension

The Demonitron: The 6th Dimension trailer is for a movie that doesn't exist.

I really wish this movie existed.

Demonitron is a well done tribute to the Italian Horror Movies of the 70s and 80s. I can see a lot of Fulci, Argento, Bava, and even some D'Amato in the mix. It's over 4 minutes but that's totally in the Euro horror trailer style: bloody, barely comprehensible, and probably revealing way too much of the movie's best scenes. Enjoy.



Check on more fun from the makers of  Demonitron: The 6th Dimension at www.rkss.tv. They have more fun grindhouse style videos and trailers there.

B-Movie Monday: It's Caroline Munro's Birthday!

To borrow from Danny Trejo in From Dusk Till Dawn:


"Lowly dogs, get on your knees, bow your heads and worship at the feet of Caroline Munro!"

Here are some trailers from Caroline's lesser known movies. 







But I can't forget one of my favorite B-Movies with Caroline Munro:

I Am A Neutral Good Human Cleric

I finally jumped into the What D&D Character Am I meme that's going around. This is what I got...

I Am A: Neutral Good Human Cleric (6th Level)

Ability Scores:

Strength-12

Dexterity-12

Constitution-14

Intelligence-15

Wisdom-14

Charisma-12


Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

Some of my best D&D characters were clerics. Go figure...

250 Posts!


I just had to get over this hurdle. 250 posts in the rpg blogosphere. Life has made it easier to indulge my love of B-Movie trailers than RPG material but hopefully that will change. Thanks everybody for glancing at my blog and I promise more stuff down the road!

Little Red Riding Hood and the Monsters (1962) Trailer

Netflix is like crack to a b-movie fan like myself. It lets me indulge in some rarer movies that are harder to find in my usual stomping grounds. My current movies are Bloody New Year (an 80s British horror movie) and the luchadoras double feature Doctor Of Doom/Wrestling Women vs. The Aztec Mummy from the fine folks at Something Weird Cinema. It was watching their trailer section, always the first thing I do when viewing a DVD, that I saw this trailer:



Little Red Riding Hood and the Monsters (Caperucita y Pulgarcito contra los monstruos) (1962) is a Mexican children's movie imported by schlockmeister K. Gordan Murray. The content of this trailer is, quite frankly, some of the unwittingly bizarre content I've seen this year. Think fairy tale heroes facing off against a bevy of monsters. This is the type of movie you could turn into a bizarre roleplaying scenario (or campaign!) with a little work and twisting.

Doctor Who Summed Up In One Sentence



When the Doctor arrived you know some real weird shit is going down.


There is a lot of truth in that one statement!


The Shadow World blog has a very opinionated set of Doctor Who roleplaying notes using the Xpress System by Postmortem Studios. Shadow World is a series of games that parody the "World O' Darkness" genre written by Ian Warner. There are no sacred cows in this Doctor Who adaptation, and you may see a favorite Doctor or companion skewered, but it's still fun.

Filmation Friday: Hey! Hey! Hey!



After the little skirmishes in the RPG blogosphere and the craziness in my home state Wisconsin, I think we all need a little Fat Albert to make us smile for a bit.

Hot Elf Chick Welcomes You To The OSR



Arwen. She's hot, she has a cool sword, and she pimped the Nazgul. 'Nuff said.

Just jumping on the meme.

Five links: Fantasy space,

Or$on Welle$: Tha Godfather of Hip-Hop

My friend Mark displayed this gem from YouTube yesterday at the FLGS last night. It's kinda funny.



Makes you think a little bit about your next game set in the 40s. Godfather Gangsta Orson Welles vs the Nazis, anyone?

B-Movie Monday

This blog needs some more B-Movie flavor! Here's some random stuff:

One of my favorite fake Grindhouse style trailers (and fodder for Mutant Future) Kitty Kat Daniels vs The Nuclear Cannibals:



The incredibly awesome Fiend Without a Face trailer:



Finally, Morte Macabre's cover of Fabio Frizzi's Apoteosi Del Misterio from Fulci's City of the Living Dead:



I'm gonna try to do this every Monday!

A New Mario Brother? Fun with The Generator Blog

I have a new favorite timewasting site and it's called The Generator Blog. Here a metric ton of links await to help you create, inspire some thoughts, or just waste time at work.

My favorite link right now is Thank You Mario. Here's a screen featuring Mario and Luigi's little known younger brother Howard P. Mario...




I really don't want to think of what the bonus round looks like for young Howard.
