Deadhouse Gates

I’ve currently remade and enabled the file section again. The humor videos listed before is still currently down due to large consumption of bandwidth. Also of people wanted me to write a little description on what each files does, so I’ve tried to add some info to it. I might add more info in the future.

I’ve also updated the hosting section to include reseller accounts as well. Please check it out.

Else there is nothing much else going on right now. My vacation ended though. Today was my first day back at work after more that 3 weeks off. Tons of work waiting for me. They have been real sloppy while I was gone

Another thing that is typical is that the day I end my vacation, then the summer weather gets here. Last few days its been over 35° here, and that’s so hot and nice.

If anyone has any suggestion for my website I welcome it. Always looking for ways to expand.

I’ve been busy the last few days making the new design and rewriting a lot of the content for Decorum. I’ve haven’t finished all of the new content yet, so please be patient, there might be some few broken links while I’m updating.

I’m also remaking the old archives, and I have disables the comments in the old archive to ensure nothing it lost while I’m processing it.

You can view the old archive here

You can comment on all new posts, since they are already part of the new archive DB.

This summer, R.Bhavesh released his new version of the wordpress theme WP-Remix. A good friend of mine who wishes to be anonymous bought a developer license of this theme/script wordpress software. It seems to be a very nice way to turn your wordpress blog into a more of a CMS. My friend liked it so much he has been trying to get me into buying a license myself, using his “affiliation” link (gee, go figure :P). But I have been a little hesitant.

I asked my friend if I could have a copy to test it out on my local test-server. After receiving a copy, my anti virus scanner gave me a malicious malware warning. My friend told me this was just a “bug” and that it had been clarified on the WP-Remix support forums.

The whole thing started around 1983 or so at a party at Pacificon at the Dunfey Hotel in San Mateo in which the idea came up of classifying the different styles of roleplaying. They came up with four different types, which are explained below. Special credit goes to Perry Caro, Chris Guthrie, Rick Heli, Robert Allen, and Ken Kaufman, to name a few.

The Real Man
The tough macho type who walks up to the attacking dragon and orders it to leave before he gets hurt.

The Real Roleplayer
The intelligent cunning guy who tricks the constable into letting you all out of prison.

The Loonie
The guy who will do anything for a cheap laugh, including casting a fireball at ground zero.

The Munchkin
Need we say more?

Player Relationships

real men:

*Real Men* think they’re brothers in arms.
*Real Roleplayers* hide behind them.
*Loonies* harass them with stupid suggestions.
*Munchkins* say I’m a Real Man, too!”

real roleplayers:

*Real Men* protect them, on the off chance they may come up with
something useful.
*Real Roleplayers* sigh with relief to know they’re not alone,
and then get their characters involved in love affairs
and death feuds.
*Loonies* harass them with stupid suggestions.
*Munchkins* say I’m a Real Roleplayer, too!”

loonies:

*Real Men* ignore them.
*Real Roleplayers* sometimes harass them back by taking a
stupid suggestion and making it work.
*Loonies* declare a pie fight at 20 paces . . . and cheat.
*Munchkins* try to imitate the jokes, and fall flat.

munchkins:

*Real Men* attack them on sight.
*Real Roleplayers* trick them into being cannon fodder.
*Loonies* make reasonable-sounding suggestions that will get
the Munchkin killed in an amusing way.
*Munchkins* query, What’s a Munchkin?”
