I'm happy to be appreciated by my good friends. I'm still thinking of making those appreciation threads I had a dream about. As I said, Markell is the obvious candidate, but I gotta wait until he's on so he can appreciate the Markell Thrasher Appreciation Thread.
Can't wait to see the MTAT, I'm sure he'll like it
Same. Also, Drum, what font did you use for the 'King Dragon Slayer' in your sig?
A weird one from some font generator. I can send you the link if you'd like?

I want you to know. You are going to lose. You are going to lose badly. You’re going to lose badly and it’s going to be awesome.

There is a monster in my analog horror FATE game I want to tell you guys about: The Cringe. Warning, he's a bit spooky.
A long time ago, around 30 years back, there was an extremely popular show called Possum Street. It was very similar to Sesame Street but was known for being less episodic. It also had a significantly lower budget and was run mostly by a couple of very dedicated people who spent most of their meager paychecks on keeping the show running. The show shut down in 1983 for an unknown reason. It was strange that it was shut down, as there was no show to replace it yet, and it was undoubtedly the highest-grossing show on the network.
Many fans are now looking into the mysterious and abrupt shutdown. A studio executive recently leaked a photo onto the internet: a frame from the show, showing a character that never made an appearance. It seemed to be eating four orange, fuzzy fistfuls of stuffing and colorful felt. People began to scour the show for any reference to this character, and they found something odd: while never upfront or mentioned openly by the characters, there were always tufts of orange fur around all sorts of messes and mix-ups. This led many to believe that what was leaked was a hidden antagonist meant to be revealed in the canceled episodes.
Some people took a closer look at the stuffing that the orange muppet was eating. The felt closely resembled the colors of one of the main puppets, Jamson. People lost their minds. Were they really planning on having this antagonist kill and eat Jamson? Fortunately, the studio executive gave a plot synopsis shortly afterward, explaining that he was eating a stuffed animal. We also learned that the orange beast was not openly dangerous, just mischievous, but due to unspoken issues with the actor the show was shut down. Sounds cut-and-dry, right?
Then people found something odd: Possum Street was a real place. It was in a small town and was the actual street where they shot the show and where many of the actors lived. Nowadays, it's not very notable, but then the local Gronsom's (an American chain restaurant found all over the world) started having issues of unexplained nature. No one thought much of this until Gronsom's revealed its new mascot: The Cringe. It was completely identical to the character from the photo, and it behaved exactly as one would expect from that character.
The Cringe was a somewhat sinister character, appearing to steal milkshakes or disrupt employees, but it seemed mostly harmless. Then the Mascot Dying video got released.
Mascot Dying is a video steeped in urban legend. It starts off like a regular commercial, then cuts to a first-person view of a person dressed as Pete the Stork, a Gronsom's mascot. Pete walked into a house in the middle of the night and made his way to a child's bedroom, seemingly knowing exactly where it was. He set a rope, a roll of duct tape, and a knife on the floor outside the room. He walked in, revealing a sleeping child. After observing the child for six seconds without moving, Pete turned around to get his equipment. The camera catches something as Pete bends down to grab the rope. He freezes and grabs the knife instead as he looks up. Without warning, the camera falls to the ground as The sounds of rustling fabric can be heard, along with what sounds like a grown man screaming... and someone laughing. The video ended with the commercial outro Gronsom's usually used, but without music.
Pete the Stork never appeared in any advertisement of any kind after the video was leaked. No stuffed animals, no mascots, nothing.
Closer analysis revealed that the being shown for a brief moment as the camera panned down looked like the silhouette of The Cringe. People thought this was an elaborate joke... until they realized that the house shown was an actual house on Possum Street. And someone from the town went missing the day the video was uploaded.
The Cringe was real. Sure, that man was likely of the foulest intent, but The Cringe had followed him into a house and either kidnapped or murdered an armed adult male.
Sightings of The Cringe became common around Possum Street...
The Cringe is a local boogeyman and an embodiment of fear and paranoia. It resembles a man in a large, furry, four-armed mascot suit, but is far more deadly than that. It possesses a broad knowledge of the occult and of human fears, and is brutally powerful in hand-to-hand combat. It is usually friendly, although it will steal your milkshakes, but it is both mischievous and protective, making it a significant threat to those who wish to cause harm to others. Some say that it will appear when you say its name on Possum Street. Others say that it's just a normal serial killer turned vigilante. One thing is true, though: this monster is not just a figment of our imaginations. It is a living urban legend.
This guy was made by my youngest player (with my help) and I'm pretty proud of him for coming up with such a dark and interesting backstory.

It also had a significantly lower budget and was run mostly by a couple of very dedicated people who spent most of their meager paychecks on keeping the show running. The show shut down in 1983 for an unknown reason. It was strange that it was shut down, as there was no show to replace it yet, and it was undoubtedly the highest-grossing show on the network.
Many fans are now looking into the mysterious and abrupt shutdown. A studio executive recently leaked a photo onto the internet: a frame from the show, showing a character that never made an appearance. It seemed to be eating four orange, fuzzy fistfuls of stuffing and colorful felt. People began to scour the show for any reference to this character, and they found something odd: while never upfront or mentioned openly by the characters, there were always tufts of orange fur around all sorts of messes and mix-ups. This led many to believe that what was leaked was a hidden antagonist meant to be revealed in the canceled episodes.
Some people took a closer look at the stuffing that the orange muppet was eating. The felt closely resembled the colors of one of the main puppets, Jamson. People lost their minds. Were they really planning on having this antagonist kill and eat Jamson? Fortunately, the studio executive gave a plot synopsis shortly afterward, explaining that he was eating a stuffed animal. We also learned that the orange beast was not openly dangerous, just mischievous, but due to unspoken issues with the actor the show was shut down. Sounds cut-and-dry, right?
Then people found something odd: Possum Street was a real place. It was in a small town and was the actual street where they shot the show and where many of the actors lived. Nowadays, it's not very notable, but then the local Gronsom's (an American chain restaurant found all over the world) started having issues of unexplained nature. No one thought much of this until Gronsom's revealed its new mascot: The Cringe. It was completely identical to the character from the photo, and it behaved exactly as one would expect from that character.
The Cringe was a somewhat sinister character, appearing to steal milkshakes or disrupt employees, but it seemed mostly harmless. Then the Mascot Dying video got released.
Mascot Dying is a video steeped in urban legend. It starts off like a regular commercial, then cuts to a first-person view of a person dressed as Pete the Stork, a Gronsom's mascot. Pete walked into a house in the middle of the night and made his way to a child's bedroom, seemingly knowing exactly where it was. He set a rope, a roll of duct tape, and a knife on the floor outside the room. He walked in, revealing a sleeping child. After observing the child for six seconds without moving, Pete turned around to get his equipment. The camera catches something as Pete bends down to grab the rope. He freezes and grabs the knife instead as he looks up. Without warning, the camera falls to the ground as The sounds of rustling fabric can be heard, along with what sounds like a grown man screaming... and someone laughing. The video ended with the commercial outro Gronsom's usually used, but without music.
Pete the Stork never appeared in any advertisement of any kind after the video was leaked. No stuffed animals, no mascots, nothing.
Closer analysis revealed that the being shown for a brief moment as the camera panned down looked like the silhouette of The Cringe. People thought this was an elaborate joke... until they realized that the house shown was an actual house on Possum Street. And someone from the town went missing the day the video was uploaded.
The Cringe was real. Sure, that man was likely of the foulest intent, but The Cringe had followed him into a house and either kidnapped or murdered an armed adult male.
Sightings of The Cringe became common around Possum Street...
The Cringe is a local boogeyman and an embodiment of fear and paranoia. It resembles a man in a large, furry, four-armed mascot suit, but is far more deadly than that. It possesses a broad knowledge of the occult and of human fears, and is brutally powerful in hand-to-hand combat. It is usually friendly, although it will steal your milkshakes, but it is both mischievous and protective, making it a significant threat to those who wish to cause harm to others. Some say that it will appear when you say its name on Possum Street. Others say that it's just a normal serial killer turned vigilante. One thing is true, though: this monster is not just a figment of our imaginations. It is a living urban legend.
This guy was made by my youngest player (with my help) and I'm pretty proud of him for coming up with such a dark and interesting backstory.

By the way, The Cringe is one of the PCs.
