Re: Basements & Beards- Analogue Gaming Thread
This is from a Colonial Marines supplement for the Alien RPG. Apparently "professional" RPG writers have gone to the Borat-school of Cyrillic pronounciation.
You know how Cyrillic letters have a tendency to look like Latin ones which they aren't pronounced like? Some genius tried to Russia-fy the word "neomorph" (those shitty bootleg xenomorphs from Prometheus and its sequel).
neomorph
неоморф
heomopf
This is extra stupid considering "neomorph" is pretty much Greek, making "неоморф" the most true-and-honest way of writing it.

Indeed. It's kinda like turning "Sparta" into "Enapta" because of dem Cyrillic letters (Σπάρτα)

That's how I read Cyrillic, and.why I think it's more annoying than moonrunes.

The one and only reason I regret not learning Russian is so that I could use rutracker more effectively.

New drama in the lands of Dildos & (Bad) Dragons. It sure is surprising, but it turns out that radioactive danger hairs and attention whores who weaseled their way into the hobby are kinda toxic.
Though honestly I'm not quite sure if they really are abusive super assholes, or if they're just regular assholes and all these new hipster artists and writers don't know how to handle that.
But at the very least I can say that I haven't seen hair this retarded in the hobby since Dungeon World creator Adam Koebel.
Would you believe that he cancelled himself when he thought it was a good idea to enrich his publicly-broadcasted session of Stars Without Number by having some NPC rape the android character of a female player for fun?
He's also a heavy proponent of "Safety Tools" like the famous X Card. Apparently didn't use it himself, though.
