The Mitchener Tediator

This is a little gem Paul Mitchener made when I asked for a tool to generate annoying people. I added a few extra options, but the credit is all Paul's.

I roll a 5 and a 2. Spends a lot of time planning things to do with their conversational skills. Hmm.

"Tinsley Orson-Whittaker is ok I guess. If only she wouldn't use everyone as dress rehearsals for conversations with other people. I can't count how many times I've been treated to monologues intended for her fiance, her mother, her caterer or her shiba inu".

Day 03: Arlene Ramsey (Hard City)

Detroit, 1946. When people think of a woman assassin, they think of some Rita Hayworth-looking glamorpuss. That’s not Arlene. She has that kind of reassuring face you’d like to see in a doctor’s office or behind a lunch counter. Arlene is an assassin though, and has eleven confirmed kills to her name. Don’t hesitate, don’t stand out. That’s words to live by for a contract killer. Arlene made her first kill in the jailhouse. She was inside for knocking her (ex)husband down with a bottle, and stealing his wallet and car. While inside, she strangled an officious trustee who tried to blackmail her. Arlene got away with it, and the only other witness, Astrid Felton, knew to keep quiet, up to a point.

The Last Days of Kranium Kastle

This is a hack of TROIKA! (and Fighting Fantasy in general). You play the part of a creature serving an evil overlord. The war against the Forces of good isn’t going as planned, and it may be time for some hard decisions. Do you stay and fight or desert? Do you try to switch sides (as if the Forces of Good would ever trust or shelter you)? Or do you maybe have some crazy scheme which might turn the tide in your favor, and visit doom upon the armies of elves, dwarves, humans and warrior angels. This hack is inspired by Fighting Fantasy books (particularly The Warlock of Firetop Mountain , Citadel of Chaos , Phantoms of Fear and Creature of Havoc ). Thanks to Eric Nieudan for letting me borrow his crowblins! It's all literal with these guys CREATING A CHARACTER Roll for SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK as described in TROIKA!

Towards a dictionary of words and phrases for the foreign traveler on German trains, and in German train stations

  5 Minuten Verspätung: Time is an illusion. The truth is a chasm. Brezel: A large, misspelled pretzel. Vaguely nourishing. EinzelTicket: We pass this way but once. Essen Hauptbahnhof: A marvel of lights, commerce and humanity in motion. An elaborate mirage of Dunkin Donuts and Subways for which you will never have time. Fahrkarte: The straw to which you must cling. The road map to your destination. Also a document of dubious authority. Gleis: A raised horizontal surface on which to drink Lift (see: Lift) and feel ennui beating your psyche like an incontinent poodle. Hamburg Hauptbahnhof: An acoustic space where no sound is ever lost, thus no missive may be accurately understood. Lautsprecherdurchsage: Disembodied metallic voices. Their source or truthfulness is impossible to ascertain. Lift: The apples of Iðunn, tempered by a bit of fizzy water. Pünktlichkeit: The idea that things happen when they happen. Reservierung: The thought that, somewhere, there is a place for you. A frankly c
