Curmudgeon in the Cellar  & #149 UPDATE 11-30-2020  

Final thoughts on the Phenomenon of those who play role playing games destroying fictional monsters based on real historical monsters(as metaphors or dramatizing them overtly): Its a therapeutical crutch for those afflicted with extreme complex ptsd who were those kind of monsters' former victims or have family members who were former victims, and were all adversely effected. Seriously I've met people of from families of enough refugees. While these refugees may not necessarily care to play D&D, there's always some kind of bizarre morbid comic relief in the way they portray their holocausts. I'm sure you know of some of Mel Brooks's films where he made fun of historic persecution of his heritage "Mel Brooks hitler" "Mel brooks the inquisition" ? And so some such former victims of horrible crimes sometimes seek out D&D as a mind exercise as a means to learning to deep psychology forensics, to cope with being former victims, and perhaps even how to defeat and forgive these enemies. https://astrologyobservations.blogspot.com/2020/10/horoscpoe-hermann-goering-birth-data.html

34:55 Since you showed us the cute plushy Otyugh / or Neo-Otyugh on the shelf, the Monster I always thought was the perfect composting recycling machine in the Dungeons and Dragons ecology, I got the perfect "Career criminal" outlaw Magic User/Rogue class that's got some obscure gross references so TRIGGER WARNING,. I was thinking maybe make a class specializing in gradual herd immunity and disease resistances where characters go through a series of obstacle courses in some kind of GG Allin / Otyugh habitat, or maybe South Park "Lemmiwinks" with the highest surviving levels of this MU/Rogue Class being some kind of "Aghori Sadu" ultra Magus Swami GURU, or maybe a Bobby Sands "Irish dirty protest" survivor extravaganza with all sorts power alluding to references in the "comedian George Carlin germs" sketch. Such high level power will never require antibiotics or vaccines ever again.
32:45 Okay. Given this quote "His Most Terrible Majesty, the Invincible Overlord, Hygelak XI, the Dread Klipmaran Noble, male human (Tharbrian) Ftr20:" "Alignment Lawful Evil" - 2004 Necromancer Games version of version of the "The City State of the Invincible Overlord" . I think if I ever DM play that game I'll play him as Mahatma Ghandi or Mother Theresa or better yet PeeWee Herman. And if I'm a Player Character maybe have a powerful Wizard (as taboo as Gary acquaintances insist that Gary was against) that flies over old Hygelak's head and defeats him by pee-ing magical pixie dust that turns him into a Giraffe who I teleport to Jurassic Park Island to become Dinosaur food. LOL

 

 

 

 


 

re: Gary Gygax and Magic Users some more. That was an Interesting discussion of Gary's ideas about Magic Users because we're kind of discussing 2 different view points. I don't dispute you in the least about what you say you knew of Gary on the subject, but in our gaming group and the way I learned the game there were 2 types of M.U.'ers, #1 there's the technocrat Villainous ivory towered a-hole Wizard drunk on extreme power like Saurman in Lord of the Rings or Thulsa Doom (the Villain from the 1st Conan Movie), (or quite possibly those who act like our modern little proverbial "Dr. Mengele's" & "The Island of Doctor Moreau" style of Wizards who do all sorts of dirty tricks of genetic engineering and psychological warfare cult hazing people into orcs, or crafting up hoax virus's in labs to push vaccines for big pharma & medical mafia Quackery duping a population to accept draconian tyranny when known cures of vitamins and nutrients dispell that hoax) and #2. There's the underdog heroic wizard of what our gaming group thought as the grunt, guerilla warfare specialist salt of the earth, Player character Magic User quite often favored by our gaming group to be an Elf or Half Elf Multi Class (Magic User / Fighter, Magic User / Ranger or Magic User / Thief). We had these multi class players because we liked minimal characters with maximum proficiency with only about 2 or 3 players with 1 character each at a time. That 2 or 3 pc party floated our boat. So maybe you can segway into saying your opinion about Multi-Class characters as something to talk about next week? Needless to say I think we can agree, (with all do respect if you say I'm wrong) Gary wanted people to draw their own conclusions and ideas about their own imaginary worlds of what Magic is like and could hardly care about which of those 2 schools of thought of what his customers chose as their player character magic user, just as long as they enjoyed and did no harm with his product. Aside from that for whatever reason we didn't consider the wands and staffs that shoot the big big explosions from magic missiles as something standalone Fighters, Ranger, nor Paladins, nor Barbarians could ever wield. Maybe that makes more sense on what I'm saying? I don't know.

Oh and another thing I don't imagine you disagree-ing with me in this regards at all, that the Final Boss / A-hole archetype Magic User I described, also includes Liches as the Antagonist and/or Final Boss / Villain which you Tim Kask admitted to in one of your videos DM'ing and playing as an NPC being the T.P.K. culprit in your own games. (just saying).

40:57 Why study Historical bad guys and make and emulate D&D villains similar to them? Why not? What's a true adventure hook without an adversary to really dramatize and entice players to both want to kick his ass or in some cases kiss his ass? Wasn't the whole "invincible overlord" in the "City State of the Invincible Overlord" based on an amalgamation of bad guys? IMHO Its a learning experience to perceive how power corrupts and how corrupted power is seductive and there's a certain amount of morbid humorous twist to their humanity. For example Richard Pryor did a sketch on Idi Amin that was classic. I used the example of Hermann Goring especially for his cantenkerus ability to proclaim his position especially near the end him at the Nuremberg trials.
