Elite Game Masters Take Notice!

For many gamers, the video "Fear of Girls" has become part of our gaming subculture.  No game would be complete without reciting at least once, "Hold, Krunk, barbarian of the frozen wastes!  You shall pass no further!" 

For those who have any connection to the gaming subculture and have not seen this video - do it now - it will leave you howling.

For those who have achieved "Elite Viewer" status, you will be pleased to know that Doug Douglason's module is now commercially available - The Pleasure Prison of the B'thuvian Demon Whore from Expeditious Retreat Press.  It is compatible with the d20 system.

Some of my favorite quotes, "Unlike the sniveling brats of most other humanoid races, kobold babies are naturally quiet.  Coupled with a rapid reproduction rate, silent babies are a tremendously useful survival mechanism."

and

"Alayshia wants Krunk to both fail and succeed.  She's torn between the two outcomes and cannot win the fight with her inner nature, both demon and woman.  ... Should she try and snare him for herself and use his muscle to reinforce her guile, or should she eliminate him now and take what she needs?  But he's so pretty!"

It all reads like you would expect from "Doug Doug" - very funny and surprisingly playable.

This looks hilarious. It's been a while since I've seen that video, but the first time, I nearly wet myself.

This is a great blog. I've just found you and I look forward to reading more.

My husband is a WoW guy and former D&D player (we still have all the manuals on the bookcase, right next to the Magic the Gathering cards). Thanks for the link to Fear of Girls. I'd never seen it before--absolutely had me chuckling.

Don't know if I mentioned...we got this book as a wedding present, along with a giant bag of dice with a skull and crossbones on the front. Very romantic, no?

Dear Mr. Simmons:
I landed upon your site in search of further information about 'Doug Doug.' Being one of the few gamers out there who had not yet had the pleasure of viewing the hilarious short social commentary on the gaming subculture, I am mournfully very late to the party and find myself now trying to play catch up.

While I did not find any new information about the making of "Fear of Girls" here, I stayed long enough to find an extremely inteligent and thoughtful blog. Being a fellow fan of Tolkien, closet gamer, Irish history buff, and unbeliever in the current trend in politics, I found much here of interest and to be thankful for my chance visit.

As I grow older, I'm recognizing that life is too short to concentrate on the negative, and the lives of others are too short and too valuable not to take a moment to thank them when you cath them doing something important, helpful or right.

So, David, I thank you for this happy accident tonight.
