GenCon Indy 2008 Inspires New Song and More
August 23rd, 2008
Are you a RPG gamer? A collector card guru? A miniatures maniac? Or are you a geek like me that mostly just bards it up with bits of all of the above? Well, with GenCon freshly in my mind and a 3-foot tall tower of newly bought RPG books to read through I couldn’t help but be inspired to right a D&D inspired song.
I re-cut the awesome Brad Sucks song “Making Me Nervous” with my new lyrics–which unlike Brad Sucks, may actually suck. 1. I am not a singer, 2. I am not a sound engineer, 3. I used the USB mic from Rock Band to capture the audio :). Enjoy!
Last week I hit up GenCon Indy in Indianapolis. The road trip was, for the first time, not costly on my car; no flat tires with 400 miles to go, not key scratch along the whole left side of my Honda Civic, no pot hole damage to my axis and alignment. It was just perfect–just like the beef jerky I got along the way (a spicy Italian sausage flavoured one, mm-mmm).
I’ve uploaded all my GenCon pics to Flickr, please check them out, I’ve left comments on a couple of them which might make you chuckle mildly. On a side note, there were in fact quite a few hotties at this years GenCon! I invite all other newbie (or old) girly gamers to take the power away from the above average sized guy gamers and give them something to think about other than Mountain Dew and assorted bags of chips. Get in those tight skimpy fantasy inspired giggity-giggity outfits and make us drool over your woman flesh!
You chicky-poos out there have given me a reason to go back next year. Thank you.
* Updated on October 3, 2008:You want the lyrics, you get the lyrics!
one step at a time, we’ll be walking single file
Not taking the end, i remember the last time
The wizard was slain by a wraith’s level drain
surprise rounds are a whore, resurection spell again
I’m taking a 5-foot step, initiative of 10
we’re swarmed by zombies, get priest to turn undead
Why’d we come here at night, why are you taking a right?
We agreed always take lefts every single friggin’ time
Head back to the inn now, rest
Heading back in daytime, next magic item’s mine
Entering dungeon, getting pumped up for this grind
half-dragon template on a troll-blooded dire ape
Goblins, kobolds and orcs, and a fiendish ogre mage
I think that’s an ilithid, and a displacer beast
Is that a green slaad, a floating beholder head
Did I cross the line, aren’t these all copyright
Umber hulk, yuan-ti, githyanki, and githzerai
Getting handed a can of the whop-ass
Let the battle begin, owning an ancient dragon
Everybody spread, save against its acid breath
Reflex save 39, rogue tumble check, no damange die
Sucker, I got you beat with my dragon slaying vorpal knife
They’ll all meet my d20 die

I’m looking forward to doing more–just buried in a VERY large video contract that is nuking my time and creative concentration… soon… soon…
I’m so glad the hawt chicks are finally aiming their headlights (ahem) at the true studs: the geeks! Also, you suck just as much as Brad Sucks. =)
