What Would Iggy Do?
Jun. 22nd, 2004 10:17 amI'm off to The Canada today for a vacation from my vacation. This weekend at Wolf Lake, next weekend in Toronto. Tough life, I know.
We played the first episode of Starchildren last night, and I certainly had fun but I also definitely felt like I could have done better. The players and characters were great but I handled the rules and rolls sloppily and was off my game in terms of playing NPCs. I've since realized a few things I was doing wrong with the rules, but mainly I just need to prep a little better. If everyone hangs in there I'm sure the pace will pick up as we figure out what the rules can do. Also, I was going to actually bust out my guitar at one point but with an actual musician like Dan there I totally chickened out. Also, any game would have trouble living up to a year or so of pre-game hype. Also, shut up and stop fishing so blatantly for reassurance, you big baby.
The game naturally led to discussion of Iggy Pop fan fiction. Here is the comic I mentioned last night. This is probably not the only Iggy Pop fanfic on the internet, but I suspect it's the only Iggy Pop fanfic composed in an IM conversation and then illustrated by a third party as a comic strip. Scatological and stupid, yeah, but some of us dig that sort of thing. It's really the glee of the teenage authors rather than the story itself that I like. To tell the truth, the original text may actually be funnier without the illustrations. And all of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
abescott's posts are like that. This argument about Vincent Gallo and Christina Ricci is another good example. An acquired taste, maybe, but he cracks me the hell up. MAN TRUE, as Abe would say.
That is all.
