QUOTE (CanRay @ Feb 27 2013, 03:40 PM) Cat allergies. Fine. Fine. Get a couple of pet toy dogs and put them in clothes. Dogs are usually a bit better behaved and have less problem with people embarrassing them that way. If that fails, get some birds of varying species. No need to dress them up and with their wild array of coloration you can pretend they're a group of pink mohawk runners. |

QUOTE (CanRay @ Dec 1 2012, 01:56 PM) No.I did. He is. And isn't "getting better" even by Deadlands standards, as he's ashes in an urn.He wasn't, but he supported my gaming through my life. He very much was like a character out of a Noir book, maybe even a non-PI Protagonist, but more likely one of the cast of badasses that the protagonist runs into, or even needs help from. (The adventure hook he's connected to mentions a refusal to pay Mobster Protection Money, and the fact that he's still alive and has his business after a decade or so speaks for itself.). To be fair, I had the choice of who to put into the game, but as soon as I talked to the author about the person and why I chose him, well... Yeah. They did a damned good job.My Stepfather, but he helped raise me. I very much am the son of my fathers in a lot of ways, while still being myself. But, no, he's not coming back from the dead. Crematoriums are good to prevent that sort of thing. I am deeply moved by this story. It almost makes me want to cry. |

You ever notice how people from a few generations back were so badass? There are incredible stories of toughness, self-reliance, and being principled in the face of adversity.
Maybe as we fall on long-term hard economic times again and things fall apart hard, we'll recover some of that strength of character as individuals and as a society. |

I won't go into the reasons Dad had to be badass, but he was a Truck Driver and a Biker in the '70s and '80s, which, in Canada, meant you had to be badass.Scary enough, he was proud of my own variety of toughness for some reason. But I'm hardly even a speck on the Badass Scale. |
