Deadlands: Brokeback Mountain

[thebitterguy]

An event description from PolyCon XXIV.

Deadlands
Brokeback Mountain
Gamemaster: Robert "Lionheart" Batkovic
Time: Saturday 10:00
Length: 4 Hours

When six lonely cowboys are dispatched to work as sheepherders up on the majestic Wyoming peaks, they thrust themselves deep into a mystery which may shatter all American lives, both the living and the dead. Strap on your leather and polish your pistols because I will be teaching the new Savage Worlds: Deadlands Reloaded rules! Beginner's Welcome!

But are they gay cowboys? Otherwise, the name just becomes a cheap attention-gathering ploy.

"Beginner's" - why do so many people feel the need to put an apostrophe when they pluralise?

Ignorance?

I suspect the GQ (Gay Quotient) of the adventure will be based around the players. With a title and description like that, I cannot say for certain.

I presume that gamerese is a language with an excess of apostorphes that must be used before they expire.

They thrust themselves deep, do they. Well.

Strap on your leather.

And polish your pistols.

I suspect BBM fell victim to the Versus equation: "This is neat, but it would be improved by the addition of zombies".

Will there be pudding?

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

DAMMIT! Beaten by my laziness in reading comments! :-)

[thebitterguy]

Yes. Undead blood pudding!

Feel the Terror!

A better question: will they be serving pudding?

No, I will NEVER tire of that reference!

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Is the reference an inside joke or can I be edumicated?

Years ago South Park did an episode that parodied Sundance; the first film was a movie about gay cowboys eating pudding and featured the line "Wahhhl, I guess it's about time we ate pudding and explored our sexuality."

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Thanks for zee clarification.

[thebitterguy]

You independant filmmakers and your gay cowboys eatin' puddin.

Hey, I didn't go to the gay cowboy movie. I'm tired of hearing about what a deathless classic it is when it hasn't even left theaters. Also the plot sounds fairly standard and dull.

[thebitterguy]

Ohhh! You make me so ang-lee!

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Hey, props to Ang Lee. Not only is he a brilliant director, he could kill either one of us with his bare hands.

No, seriously, he could, he's a bona fide Master of Tai Chi Chuan. He's been studying it for decades.
