Grognard dishes dirt on Tracy Hickman

That sounds like the same dude writing it, again. How long has this guy been writing this shit?.

This has the mark of mental illness, you mean.

But think about it - what if it's true, and the dude who's writing this shit is just trying to get it off his chest?

More corroborating evidence

You'd think he could write it once and let it go. But he's clearly rewriting it over and over, and coming back after getting banned to write it again. That seems like a personal obsession.

Dude, the same guy can say it a hundred times and it still doesn't constitute "evidence" of jack shit. I get that it's funny, and possibly even true, but that's not how evidence works.

I'm confused - in one account they drink Old Crow and in another it's Four Roses. I think the clue is in the whiskey.

I don't care what the "reasons" or "motives" behind the stories are. I don't think they're even remotely plausible. I don't even question the writer's sanity.

All I know is that those stories are comedy gold.

Bro, I'm with you on this, but I still can't get it out of my mind that this is just possibly true. I mean trolls don't usually post the same, detailed shit years apart on completely different forums. It sounds like whoever's writing this seriously thinks he needs to tell his story as far and wide as it will go.

>I mean trolls don't usually post the same, detailed shit years apart on completely different forums.

I could tell you some stories from back in the usenet days. Autism is a hell of a thing.

"We'll get suited up, break out the twenty-siders and the Crisco, and roll like it's '86"

Fucking comedy gold.

Actually, autism and an obsession with buttsex, even. I remember this one guy who used to post on usenet. Had a weird fixation on that scene in Deliverance, you know the one I mean. Would post all over the place about it, for years on end.
It was always "the part where Corky gets busted in the ass ree ree" and him asking for screencaps or audio clips or just generally about who liked that, or butting into a conversation to bring it up.
For YEARS.

Suppose so, bro. What do you reckoin the chances this is even a little true are? I mean is it that implausible that Tracy got his dick sucked by some fat Weird Pete lookalike because Laura the good Mormon girl refused to blow him. I don't think that's as improbable as many believe. ;

Notice the reference to Anthony Pryor? Either the writer did his research, or he was involved in TSR at some stage. The plot thickens.

Dude, that's not even remotely true. If a troll finds something that gets a rise out of people they stick with it until it doesn't work anymore. I remember the old days of /b/. For a board that's supposed to be random, there was an awful lot of consistency.

Trolls mostly live in warmer climates and, being silicon-based, are rather dull most of the time.

>What do you reckoin the chances this is even a little true are?

Zero to none.

All the stories share a very general theme; he's an old RPer, lives/works in Texas, meets Hickman, they drink and talk, then engage in something homosexual. The details, however, are all very different.

Locations change, jobs change, towns and cities change, they meet at a con, they meet at a FLGS, they meet at different FLGS, they drink different types of whiskey, they drink beer, where they get frisky changes, even what they do changes.

The devil's in the details here and the details are all over the place for the story to be anywhere near plausible.

Who knows why the writer has been posting this stuff for as long as he done so. All I do know it that the stories are pure comedy gold.

I'm with you, I don't buy it at all, but it's pretty damn funny.
It does seem to be all the work of one writer to me, because there are specific recurring themes and phrases that get reworded, but are still show one recognizable voice. He should probably branch out into a better milieu than "hack writer buttsex story" though, because he seems to have some talent for telling a funny story.

>It does seem to be all the work of one writer to me

Agreed. The themes and "voice" all strongly point to that.

>He should probably branch out into a better milieu than "hack writer buttsex story" though, because he seems to have some talent for telling a funny story.

Who knows? He may be a successful writer already. He's certainly got the chops for it. He could just be trolling for the sake of trolling.

Case in point: Hiram Maxim. He invented the machinegun which bears his name, plus a bunch of other stuff, and was a multi-millionaire back when a million was still a million. After he died, his son the old coot had rented a 2nd floor room along a quiet city street. He hurried over there thinking it was where dear old Dad was stashing his mistress and wanting to clean up the situation. When he got there, all he found was a single chair, a bag of dried peas, and a long brass tube. WTF, right?

Asking around, the son was able to able to figure out what Dad had been doing and keep it a secret. Seems the people working and living along that section of street had been hit by dried peas falling from the sky for several months. Old Hiram the multi-millionaire apparently had entertained himself by sitting behind the curtains in the window and blowing dried peas across the street to hit the building opposite. The pea would hit the building, bounce off, and then fall on the mystified people below. Because the peas were falling straight down, everyone thought they were being thrown out of the windows above instead of being shot from across the street.

The moral of the story? Sometimes people do shit just for the fuck of it.

>his son the old coot

Ooops. I meant to write "... his son found out that the old coot..."

That's hilarious. What a crazy old asshole.

KEK

What a hero

>Maxim
He also kept poking his maid with an alternatively scalding hot or freezing cold metal rod for multiple fucking years. Dude was batshit.

til: Sturm Brightblade is gay

...

Actually I think the Anthony Pryor reference is telling. He was an obscure but influential writer of the OD&D era. The author may indeed be a grognard, but one who was a very personal grudge with or unrequited attraction to Tracy Hickman.

Sturm was meant to be gay, I think. His moustache was too fabulous. And Tanis was a beard (hence, his beard). Kitiara had an 80s dyke vibe to her, but then again Weis and Hickman were fucking pursues, so boring old LotR ripoff it was.

>kys for ignorance. Even normies know Hickman.
Isn't she a voice actor on The Simpsons?

Holy shit, this is the best one yet - I don't know how many of these there are in various forums, but I'm guessing dozens. And they're not copypasta, each str0y is snowflake unique.

>File: ddsas.png (82 KB, 1260x567)
This is fucking poetry.

That is the best one so far. Two seemingly normal paragraphs and WHAM he's suddenly writing about having a chubby.

This shit has been going on for years. One post dates from 2003, there's the now deleted OP's find from this year, and the last one is from 2014. He posted that one on Christmas Day too.

He's obviously as sick as he is talented.

Seriously? Christmas Day is extreme. This dude has a major fucking grudge.

>Seriously? Christmas Day is extreme.

Agreed. It's a major holiday whether you're religious or not. Family, meals, parties, you name it. Yet he somehow found the time to post one of his comedy routines about Hickman, Texas, D&D, and homosexuality.

The man is dedicated.

Trolls use recurring themes all the time. If it works once they want to use it again. You also have to take into account trolls having only limited creativity. This guy might convince a few impressionable tards here and there, but anyone sensible sees right through his shitty ruses.

I think the author would object to being characterized as homosexual. One of the recurring themes of his posts is the stark denial of being 'queer'.

Agreed that trolls employ recurring themes, but anyway you slice it this is niche trolling, which benefits from an uncommon level of effort.

Fuck off, OP, and leave Tracy Hickman alone: he doesn't love you and will never fuck you the way you want.

It would have been more believable if the intended victim had been Ed Greenwood.

No, Ed's well known to be weirdly hetero.

>Tracy Hickman
Who?

One of the Dragonlance authors youngling.

>Dragonlance
Is this a D&D rip-off?

It's a licensed D&D novel. The first trilogy is probably the most readable thing ever to come out of licensed D&D novels. It's not really good, but it's not bad either.

What's your opinion on ENworld.org?
I used to go there religiously since before the launching of 3E, but stopped after 4E.

Marge Weis is on record as saying that it was Hickman who wrote the 'sex' scenes in DL. It's in the annotated Chronicles.

Now don't be like that Tracy, remember the ole game shop down in Arlington? Those were the good old days, back when I was working as an electrician down in Tarrant County, anyway, like I said, remember back when we were just having few drinks and it was hot as hell out there, and I'm a chubby man, so I was sweating like hell out there in my cowboy boots, but we were together out there just doing what men do. Nothing queer about that; of course back in the day we had to use crisco, no astroglide or anything.

Anyway, whaddya say? Wanna get together, sling dice and have ourselves a good old fashioned time like back in the 80s?

>the day when Veeky Forums discovered Tracy Hickman's creepy buttsex story stalker

I can't stop laughing about this, you guys.

...

Oh one problem with the guy's trolls - Astroglide was invented in 1977.

This makes the decade long questfag trolling look sane. Color me impressed.

>plausible
>crisco as lube
Even in the 80s there were fucking water based lubes and even without water lube there was vaseline ffs.

Even on the tiny, infinitesimal chance that it was anything but a mildly creepy troll, kissing and telling is dumb.

Ah, but we're talking about Texas in the 80s/early 90s. And this is a man who is NOT queer.

Presumably it had yet to be widely disseminated to small town closet cases in rural Texas.

This. Why would an overweight electrician in a HOT summer in Texas, wearing sweaty cowboy boots as he sipped his Four Roses go into a chemist and pick up some astroglide? He ain't no queer.

I get a slightly Brokeback White Plume Mountain vibe from this. Read all of the posts in Heath Ledger's best cowboy voice. I'm thinking: 'hell, this ain't no one else's business you hear, I ain't no queer' and 'Tracy, I know what they got for boys like you up in Lake Geneva')' etc.

>And this is a man who is NOT queer.
Vaseline for anal was well known outside of queer circles; have you never seen Das Boot

Apparently homosexuals lightheadedness Crisco for deep penetration fisting and then like.

I actually read one of the captured posts out in a stereotypical Texan accent until I broke down laughing.

I just can't quit you, Tracy Hickman

Also fwiw, Tanis being secretly gay is a meme that's been around since more or less the third book of the original Dragonlance series came out.

That's right. If DL had been written in the right 2010s, Tanis would be angsting about getting fucked by Sturm, who is in turn overwhelmed by self loathing and desire. Tanis dutifully beards for Laurana, who secretly can't get enough of butch Blue General Kitiara's twat, but hates herself for betraying her homeland. Oh and Majere twincest too, just because.

I read in this guy's voice.

youtube.com/watch?v=7Wqc__mHkpI

I'm imagining the Tracy Hickman poster as one of the men depicted in the link

Pretty much.

"Tanis is gay" has been a bannable topic on the dlnexus boards since 2e days.

OH, yeah - Tanis having a fuckfest with Laurana and Kitiara totally makes him a closet-hider. Jesus.

Dude, Laurana was his beard.

>Oh and Majere twincest too, just because.
Raistlin is secretly a girl or a trap (also an old troll topic among fans.

I tried again.

vocaroo.com/i/s08Qv1CRg3Yi

That would explain Kitiara's interest in him (her). She always gave me dyke vibes, and it seems like the authors went overboard to disprove it, like they did with Tanis, who is a nelly powerbottom.

Like, basically anyone who thinks tumblr invented this stuff hasn't been involved with online D&D stuff for long. It's older than most of us here.

It's really kinda funny because Tanis and Laurana's wedding in the twins series came off as a political marriage even when I was a pre-teen reading this crap.

It was a pink marriage. Tanis always wanted the D and Laurana had a thing for the vagoo (does hard rock cunnilingus gesture)

I thought it was obvious that Dalamar and Raistlin were gay. I think there's one scene where it was implied that Dalamar got fucked by his Shalafi. The handprint burnt into Dalamar's flesh signifies a deep (homo)erotic and physical connection between the two.

How do we know this isn't Tracy posting these stories?

...

They used to say Margaret Weis blew cookie, which was 70s Nam era shit, with the best of them and that contributed to her cancer. Never thought Tracy was gay though.

My two cents is that the author of the posts knew Tracy personally. I suspect it might be a fellow TSR writer. Possibly Anthony Pryor, who has a track record of writing porn.

Fuck off OP - you've been told. Quit bumping yer troll-thread.

Why don't you just use your mod powers to delete the thread?

Bro, those aren't op's posts.

Yeah, they're mine, and I'm not op

what a pathetic samefag!

"Cookies"?

In small towns it's much harder to buy anything that has only a sexual purpose. Everyone knows everyone and if you're a "single" dude buying astroglide, and everyone knows you don't have a girlfriend, it's pretty clear you're masturbating or having gay hookups. Neither of which are looked upon positively in small town America especially in that time frame. And the more "heinous" act of being gay is the juiciest gossip so that's where it will go pretty quickly. Back in the 80's that could still get you run out of a small town.

Now I want to run something in Dragonlance, using that modification in where dragons are monster trucks, kender are meth-heads andò instead of draconians we have juggalos.
Something about finding officer Stormbright's pornstache and destroy it before it gets public

Tanis reimagined as Shia LeBoeuf hitting the pipe, Raistlin hustling like Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Mysterious Skin and Laurana presiding over a trailer park kingdom with meth mouth and Daisy Dukes.

I dunno, I can see how it's something he'd be a bit fixated on.
>Have sex with a guy you admire who's low-key famous
>Guy is still closeted for religious reasons
>Years pass. Still into the thing that made him famous, still have feelings/reminisce about encounter with him.
>Occasionally re-tell story, partly out of genuine nostalgia, partly out of desire to out the guy, partly to work through complicated feelings you still have.

I know the concept of "closet"/"Out" can be pretty complicated for gay men, and sometimes there's a great deal of resentment for famous (or at least locally prominent) men who are widely known to be gay but remain closeted for religious reasons. I could see him bearing a grudge and wanting the word out about Tracy Hickman if that's the case.
Regardless "Brokeback Mountain D&D" is gonna be the sleeper hit of the next decade, I tell ya what.

This could work. This could really work.

There were probably a few closet cases around TSR. If what the poster says is true about them thinking Terry Brooks was gay (another recurring theme in the posts) they may have been projecting.

Tracy is a man? Why does he have a woman's name?

>A woman's name

Kamille is a girl's name

Anyone found anymore of these?
