Monkey, Ninja, Pirate, Alien: The role playing game. (To be filed under WTF)

  • The monkeys look like they have smiley faces stuck over their mouths. Kewl. Anybody up for an Email RPG session?
  • In general, Monkeys like Pirates, dislike Robots, have no strong feelings about Ninja, and hate Aliens. Damn straight!
  • Please warn when the link is anything other than a webpage, in this case a .pdf. Otherwise, grand link.
  • I like robots, especialy sexyrobots.
  • In other news, does anybody know how you get firefox to stop opening pdf's by itself, and let the alone program of adobe handle it?
  • Pdf file bad. Hurls poo.
  • toohep: (For PC) In acrobat reader, file->preferences under "Internet" uncheck "Display PDF in browser". Sometimes works, sometimes not. If not, maybe check windows' and/or firefox's file type prefs? For Mac unchecking "Display PDF in Browser" is also an option I think. IIRC for a mac the hard thing is getting it to open the pdf and not always download a copy to the desktop or wherever.
  • Alnedra, if I weren't up to my eyeballs in PBeMs, I'd bite on that. /RPGeek
  • Chad U's work for Unknown Armies was top-notch. Damn shame that game never made enough money for them to keep doing it. Best RPG Evar.
  • The boardgame version is great fun. I'm confused as to how it can be roleplaying if it doesn't use d20s or isn't Something: the Something though. /joke
  • toohep: In Firefox, go to Tools > Options > Downloads > Plugins and disable the pdf plugin. Next time you follow a link to pdf, check the "Always open with..."-box to associate pdfs with Acrobat. That ought to do the trick.
  • Disabling most of Acrobat's plugins speeds it up a LOT. To the point where it just takes a few seconds in Firefox for me (using a fairly new computer). Alternately, the new 7.0 version of Reader is reasonably fast too, and can co-exist with the full version of Acrobat 6.
