Once again the famous disappearing half of the document!

Once again the famous disappearing half of the document! Yippie! Yay! the joy of having my feet kicked out from under me once again! I selected a few monsters for an introductory module. Everything below that point just disappeared. I looked over the entire document before I closed it satisfied with all the work I had done. A few hours pass. When I opened it a few minutes ago half of it was missing.

But this time I did do a half decent job of saving HALF my document but for fucks sake what the hell is going on that half my goddamn document just goes poof? For the second time! That settles it the document is going back to being separate booklets while the deleter demons are on the goddamn rampage.

I have been editing and creating documents for years now and have never had shit like this happen.

NOTHING pisses me off more when something is working fine and such and then suddenly goes boom and then the next minute starts working like nothing ever happened. I would rather shit catch on fire and burn the hell down that to have idiopathic bullshit quirks. Ever since OO did their update the spellchecker half worse and editing documents is crap! They are supposed to get better every year but they have gotten progressively worse.

Utter contemptible piece of s#!+ !!!

Utter contemptible piece of s#!+ !!!

Well once again the gods have pissed upon me. Half my master document has simply disappeared. Like 40-60 pages of document. From below the druid spell list on back just simply disappeared.

XXXXXX IT!

I have it in PDF form from 11 24 2012 but it will have to be completely redone unless I have another old copy saved back and a huge amount of work is lost from that time. It will have to be all reformatted and refitted.

SCREW YOU UNIVERSE!

It happened on 11 29 2012 at 8:00 pm. when I copied and pasted my spell list to assist me in creating magic items on a test file all information below that point just went poof for no other reason than to be a dick of a universe.

I have copied and pasted shit thousands upon thousands of times with no fail on shit that really didn't matter to me.

I would have been kind done with this stage and in full playtest mode but the gods suck and are cruel.

Maybe I ought to just delete all of it...

XXXX!

Screw you Battle-net, Blizzard, and World of Warcraft

So I have not played my free trial of WoW lately so I go to play and see it has an update. I try twice and it's corrupted but on the third time yeah! it worked. Git the panda update!

I go to log it and notice that all my login info has disappeared with the new up date. What a stupid sucky feature.

That's just stupid. Maybe I got hacked? A big company like this it should be "no problem" to recover my information.

Fine I go to login with what I am "pretty sure" is the right password. Nope the password does not work. Fine I will recover password and it want's my user name and email address.

It does not recognize my username and password combination. Unlike almost every other password recovery these genius want you to put in your name and email. Wouldn't my email be enough?

SO I realize that my password and my user name does not work and recovery of such is now impossible so I go to the support to try and reset everything and in order to do that you must have email address and user name. What a dumbass asinine web design.

There was one way that I could put in my cell phone number. Nah I don't think so . Not going to get 500 call a day again when my number is sold.

Yeah. Not looking good.

SO I decide to just contact them directly but you can't. There seems to be NO emails, contact info, just ,more bullshit runaround.

SCREW IT! SO I deleted the free trial and everything! Screw you Battle-net, Blizzard and World of Warcraft.

You and your website builders are idiots.

TARGA Controversy and the OSR.

TARGA Controversy and the OSR.

As an almost libertarian (in belief but not in the party) and almost anarchist I never want the freedom of speech and expression of another held back as long as I know what their content of information is.

The poster of the "I Hit With My Axe" did nothing maliciously. He posted what he felt was TARGA worth news. The short film was from the Blog "DnD with porn stars".

http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/

They seem like sweet cool girls and from the short snippets seem to really be gaming.

http://traditionalgaming.wordpress.com/

A few people were surprised by the content and dropped out of TARGA.

My suggestion (and there will be no more discussion with this) is invite back the people that quit and promise to post a warning on any possible adult content BUT for the most part try and keep TARGA growing and out of controversy.

I live in South West Louisiana and did suffer through the D&D Inquisition of the 80s. We don't need that to happen again but at the same time we don't need to dumb down and edit OUR games for the approval of others who HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GAMING lest we have another 2nd edition AD&D!

TARGA is a great thing and this needs to first be made whole then this situation moved on from.

Temple of the Monkey God part 9 million

Well my computer is fried but I managed to save my S&W stuff before it died. Still should have not wiped reinstalled everything as that was not the problem, it was the Mother Board.

Upgraded to a new processor and mother board but BENT a few of the pins on the processor so I have ordered another.

Pissed....

BUT onto the Temple of the Monkey God. No I have not forgotten the module.

It is on the back burner. I just worked an out of town job for 67 days straight 12-13 hours a day then went to another 40 day job for 10 hours a day. I have been accused of "not ever finishing projects" by some of the Old School community but I know said accusers have no idea of the kinds of hours I have to endure.

I still have my 4th edition game which will now be on the back burner as well as three of my key players will be on a holiday schedule which is less time as two of them work for Salvation Army and one is wife of.

So this may free up the players for S&W! Back to TotMG!

Plans are to redo the map as it is very liner in design and the Temple needs to flow. The wilderness maps will be redone MADE DARKER and more encounters added in case the PC's "get off the path".

I now realize that I am a man alone when it come to getting help from my friends to edit, draw, and design anything but that is okay.

It seems that if you come out with a good old school product you can actually make a small amount of cash which is nearly impossible in the main stream gaming (non)community.
