The Cupcake Muskateers Tavern welcomes You

[cdbd3rd]

Do you know the origin of the name, "Cupcake Muskateers"?

I would offer to put a character in your Guild but I am on Khyber.

Hehheh, yeah, kinda sorta. Was mainly from the number of folks who enjoyed running and socializing in-game with her. Once the guild and forum Tavern were set up, we made sure to keep our misspelling of "musketeer" because it fit us that we were all just a little bit different.

There's actually supposed to be a possessive 's on Cupcake. It just got missed when Jerry reincarnated this latest thread's title after we broke the forumses. *chuckle* We are - Cupcake's Muskateers.

Ah! I did not realize "Cupcake" referred to a person despite the fact your Guild Roster clearly shows the possessive construction. Instead, I imagining it some literary fictional organization, perhaps originating in a different language and thus explaining the misspelling. Your explanation also puts into context some elements of your signature picture and related character name.

Ohhh, yeah. I didn't catch that back when you were designing your artwork. Hopefully would have before ya made the final call on it.

I am almost afraid to ask but what is a mutant prairie chicken? or more specifically how can you tell its a mutant? Laser precision egg shooting? two heads? adamantine beak?

No lasers or projectile eggs. (Tho I'm making a note of that in case I ever get to run a Gamma World game again)

Just your plain ol' average every day kind of mutant prairie chicken....

Am a week late with another RIP.

Fred Ward, 79.

Lots of roles, but mainly remember him as Remo Williams. Well, and the cop in Miami Blues where Alec Baldwin steals his badge, gun, and false teeth.

I think they stole it back, it's not loading :P

Funny. Still disappointed they didn't make the effort for a large cat form for druid to go with Tabaxi, but it was a surprised kudos to them for altering Bloody footprints for the different races.

Hm. I still see it. It's basically a twisted song lyric.

"Despite all my rage, I'm still just a cat that's a mage." ~Tabaxi Sorcerer/Barbarian.

It should not have taken me 6 years to find this movie:

Bright.

Cop drama with Orcs, Elves, & Fairies - but magic use is apparently illegal. Bummer.

My latest Netflix find that, as usual, shouldn't have taken me as long as it did.

Series: Love Death & Robots


The IMDB link is safe, but the series is mostly NSFW. Short episodes crossing many genres. Slowly binging the first 2 seasons.

[cdbd3rd]

Also a RIP:

Ray Liotta. 67.

*Picks up Annex and gently carries her cross-thread...*

..... the Mimic Hunt on for a full week. That got me over the top.

I killed nary a Mimic this week, but many many Mutant Prairie Chickens suffered for it. More than a few Blade Dancers, as well.

One of the dumb old games on my computer, Fallout, has stuff like that. Game play consists of replaying an event over and over until finding the series of decisions leading to the least worst outcome, all packaged in a bleak and ugly setting. I will never finish it.

After my very disappointing date with Ju Ju Zombies, I experimented will all sorts of quests looking for a fast way to earn Mimic Tokens. I never found it. As time grew short, I took the panic option and made about 40 runs on Irestone Inlet, set to Casual, with 6 accounts, using new, Level 7 characters and a level 30 Cleric casting defensive spells.

Now I wonder why Eberron completely lacks for anything beautiful. One would think magic would allow artists to create very elaborate and lovely things. That gives me a really good idea for a novel.

Fallen Earth is set in a similar setting, tho much less linear than I found the early Fallouts. (I only played 1 and 2.) Now and even before the company took a break, I always played it very casually (imagine that) and never made it to the 'end game' sectors. Wandering about, listening to the various NPC dialogs, crafting what I could, whapping on mobs that died in artistic ways (rag doll physics). The dialog between a couple city guards about the rules of the ancient game of Baseball is one of my faves. I'll have to paraphrase it here when I find them again.

Looking forward to that novel.

My main reason for taking a break from chicken whacking (Heh) was this ad that popped up for a burger place apparently based down in Texas. (Ael?)

---------








"Rez" ... Game slang for any of the various "raise dead" spells/abilities, short for 'resurrection'. So, burgers that are made from the flesh of (hopefully cow) beings raised from
the dead. Righteo. Maybe should've opted for "Soylent Burgers". At least Soylent Green was from people who stayed dead.

Sorry none near me, they must be very new as they don't even have an official website. Oddly when someone uses the term Rez here they're usually referring to the abbreviation for Reservation, its odd because I think there's only 2 or 3 here in Texas.

Just gonna grab this lil /Nabby right quick.
