edonil Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Actually, it came up as my brother was debating using a spring loaded dagger or a sword cane with his gun mage/highwayman. He asked what the difference was and I just said 'Presentation'. Which is why I now need to make a villain in every RPG I run who is basically a gentleman version of Tarquin.

Mako Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Eh, mostly taken up by that stupid lecture. ---------- Post added at 12:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ---------- Hmm, I think I need chocolate. Or yet more ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yeah...I still want some ice cream. >.> Unfortunately, one grocery store has Ben and Jerry's...the other has Friendly's...need to pick between the two, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ben and jerrys. No contest, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 True, but Friendly's gets me more ice cream for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ahh, so it comes down to quality or quantity? Tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Not had Friendly's? They don't have quite the variety, but the quality is quite close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 England had other things,when I was growing up even Ben and jerrys was exotic and foreign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ah, see, I grew up in one the hometowns of Ben and Jerry's and there was a Friendly's...so I had access to excellent ice cream all the time. Was truly excellent. *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I had chocolate and things, cos my parents worked for confectioners. Actual chocolate, not the horrendous monstrosity of Hershey's lol ---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ---------- I say confectioners, but I mean Terry's, Rowntree's, and Nestlé.

edonil Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Woah. O.o I don't think I've ever had actual chocolate, now that I think of it... So, found what is a surprisingly good piece of fanfic for 40k...absolutely blows the canon fluff out of the water, but the concept is good, and the writing is pretty decent. Plus, I love this one line: A human. A human was helping her. She could tell, by the caliber of the rounds. All brute force, no understanding of the harmony of a battle. Not made to end the battle right, but to end the battle now. ---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ---------- Woah.

Mako Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yeah, I think there was a bit of a glitch there! That does sound quite good. Is a clever line, it says a lot about both the human and her without ever having to actually describe things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 There's some bad tense mixing, but beyond that, not bad. The story is about a Vindicaire with a 'flawed' perspective who ends up infatuated with an Eldar Farseer and saves her instead of killing her.

Mako Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ouch. Tense mixing is one of those things that really kicks me out of the story. Seems like an interesting premise though, even if a lot far fetched! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 It is far fetched...but they're doing a surprisingly good job with it. Basically presenting it as the Assassin going through an equivalent of a nervous breakdown and mixing the line of 'enemy to destroy/primary to protect'.

Mako Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Interesting. As you say, going a bit AWOL from canon fluff, but done well it could work! Oh to heck with it, I'm going to get ice cream. Last time though, I've done it too much recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Heh, fair enough. I'm heading off to get stuff done before work. See you guys in a couple hours at most. (wave) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Enjoy! I'll be scoffing it when you return most likely. Or painting. Either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 And we're back! No ice cream as of yet, though. And Elle decided she wanted to write some of putting Victor through hell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I had all my ice cream very fast. Now I have none again Elle's behaving vaguely, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Not sure if it's behaving...more like trying to mimic some fairly scary ideas of how to teach people to be an assassin. Here, take a look, it's short so far: The sound of the shot filled the air, shortly followed by a scream. "Again!" the Witch Hunter ordered. Victor dropped the gun, stumbling away from it and shaking his head. "I-I can't..." he muttered. "Not good enough," the Hunter snapped. "You want to be a Hunter, this is what it means!" He picked up the bloody remains of the pig, throwing it at Victor's feet. "You kill. Without hesitation, without remorse. You came to us, remember? You proved yourself a killer before you did. That's why you got that nice little star on your lapel. Well, I don't give a damn that you could kill there. As a Hunter, you're going to need to kill again. Not as part of a squad, where who knows who got the killshot. You, alone, by yourself. I don't care how you do it. Pistol, knife, rifle. Doesn't matter. If you're not prepared to kill, you're going to die." ---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ---------- Also, Schlock is hilarious today.
