HELLO EVERYBODY HOW ARE YOU DOING?! WE ARE DOING GREAT HERE FROM THE CENTER OF THE HURRICANE KNOWN AS NATE’S FAN CONSTANTLY BLOWING IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE RECORDING!
HERE IS NEWS BIRD WITH THE NEWS:
You asked for it, so we gave it to you: The Drunk and the Ugly Forums! Now you can jump in and talk to other Drunk and Ugly listeners and troll everyone.
Second News! Sordid Dystopia: Still being worked on. Sam is now working two different jobs and Nate just finished moving into a new house. Things are still coming along and we are working to give you the best book we possibly can.
Today’s Topic: Character creation, how does it work?
This is how it works. Done.
But no, seriously, this is a topic that we manage to cover with a lot of detail and a lot of different methods. There’s too much discussed in the show to write down here, but I will link all the different resources listed in the program:
- Fake Name Generator – Probably the most-used tool here on our show for creating names and personalities for PCs and NPCs alike.
- Gelbooru (NSFW), Safebooru – Both are great repositories of images with pretty good tagging set up in the case that you have a vague image in mind for a character and zero artistic abilities (like myself)
- Character Hub (Beta) – A filing cabinet for up to 100 characters (presently) with options for portraits, stats, and personality questionnaires for all of your different beautiful and unique snowflakes.
- Incompetech’s Royalty Free Music Library – Complete works of Kevin MacLeod. All created under the Creative Commons license, great for Podcasting and anything that needs a royalty-free soundtrack.

I honestly would like a discussion on gender alone. However, to spice things up, I think you should also talk about characters with no gender, no discernible gender, characters that were one gender but are now another, characters who are somehow both genders, etc. Essentially, go nuts!
I guess you could say that, in this episode, we heard Nate’s biggest fan!… That was so bad it actually hurt…
Matt, I love and appreciate you! Though it is darkened by that fact we will eventually lose random Manda laughter.
On topic, this was a really cool episode. I especially loved hearing how some of our favorite characters came to be.
For another topic (Which may have been in the past Newsies), this one is for the GM’s. How do you get inspirations for your scenarios? I know with games like Frieda’s, half of it is based on what the players do, but other then that?
As for mom jokes in bro culture. I have been on both ends. Here is an excerpt from “How to be a Bro”:
a) If bro is offended. Raise hands, Repeat “Sorry Bro, didn’t know”, offer brodolences and a brobrace.
b) If bro isn’t offened. Read section on “Your Mom Jokes”
Also you observation of Ned Flanders has a term, it is call Flanderization. Or at least that is the term the guys at the radio show used. Here is a link to the general idea of it (Warning TVTropes Link): http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Flanderization
needing to have a pet project at all times… know that feel
and don’t worry, Matt. I always get your Homestar Runner references
