Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

When we include of decimal places to a certain degree of accuracy, we kind of invalidate approximately, don't we?

Approximately 180 cm means something like 178-183 cm, not 170-190 cm, in my opinion.

And Kromm is so great that when he watches Star Wars, he can make Darth Vader win.

Even when someone else has the HIGH GROUND!

EDIT: Very Cool stuff I listened to about 3 songs, and in accordance with my personal rules I must now buy everything they have ever done. Its kinda like electronica with a bend...reminds of the new band from CA Shiney Toy Guns...

BTW Kromm I wouldn't have thought you listened to this kind of stuff, I figured you more for some lighter fare. But I am pleasently surprised...

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

I'd consider this "lighter," actually. The electronica I grew up listening to was more in the 80s experimental industrial mold . . . people smacking a rusty car chassis with hammers and piping it through a digital delay, that kind of thing.

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

To be fair, Kraftwerk was founded in 1970-1971 while Neubauten dates to 1980-1981. There probably wouldn't have been Neubauten w/o Kraftwerk. ;)

Did you read your Napoleon "bonmotes" lately?

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

Just this morning, the greatness of Kromm exceeded the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit. When he first edited for GURPS, he leapt past the Chandrasekhar limit, refusing to let it collapse him.

Physicists are predicting that we will all be sucked into Kromm's greatness. Three faiths claiming that this represents union with the cosmos have already sprung up.

Kromm's reactions uncertain. Unsubtantiated reports claim he turned up the volume of his stereo and some wild-eyed mystics claimed that he danced to the music of the spheres.

Others claim it was industrial German music.

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

I emailed him with a GURPS question a goodly while ago. He was neat, although I still didn't wrap my head around the answer...

I don't know if I'd ever go looking for him, but if I met him and recognize him I'd shake his hand.

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

What was the question..... (I am mildly curious)

Ghostdancer

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

Breaking news:

Ragnarok averted at the eleventh hour.

Apparently Kromm told Woten stop acting like an overgrown child, he was sorry already for haven taken his house. He then blew on the fire giants to cool them off and edited out all the extras.

Afterwards he is reputed to have taught Woten to play UT and kicked his divine fundament six ways to sunday.

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?

So he isn’t a angry god...he is a merciful one? Hmmmm I think someone plagiarized the great Kromm...

Ghostdancer

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

As a punishment for misrepresenting him in Conan the Barbarian, Kromm cursed Ahhnold to eventually star in Junior.

At this, all angry and wicked gods in the multiverse were horrified and demanded to know how Kromm could punish so harshly and still count himself merciful.

Kromm is reputed to have laughed and shown them an unfinished script, saying: "This is what he would have done if I wasn't merciful."

When Ahhnold infuriated the evil gods later, he was struck by a curse which caused this movie.

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

It was something about character building, but I'm afraid I don't remember the specifics though.

Kromm is so great that when it is so cold as to be as Pluto, he still doesn't freeze - even though he is cooler in nature than all others.

Kromm defeated Bret "The Hitman" Hart in a steel cage match.

Wearing nothing but his silk pajamas and after a long night on the town is how I heard the story.

However, how Dr. Kromm came to be in a steel cage with Bret Hart wearing only his silk pajamas after a long night on the town is a whole another story.

One which children should probably avoid hearing and which Bret Hart vehemently denies.

Kromm can make a rules reference up right on the spot, and you'll find it in your copy of the book.

You forgot to tell the whole story. Kromm does not like Vegemite® and therefore the FDA has decided to bad in on the reasoning that if the Great Dr. Kromm doesn't like it, it has to be evil.

Yes, but he ate each of them. They still didn't harm him.

Once, Chuck Norris tried to beat Kromm up and ended up getting beaten. Of course, he beat himself for trying to beat Kromm. Now Chuck Norris serves Kromm...

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

I heard it happened in a dream. Chuck Norris woke up and beat himself up for even thinking about attacking Kromm.

Then he went and apologised.

Kromm pardoned him, with his infinite grace, and then kicked his ass for making Delta Force 2, with his infinite wisdom and justice.

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

The thought had crossed my mind. However, I'd blame the production company and the studio before blaming the actor. Mostly because they tend to leave deeper craters and higher body counts when you smite them.

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

Golan and Globus have been ripe for smiting for some years now.

American Ninja, Cobra, Death Wish II, The Delta Force, Invasion U.S.A., Missing in Action, Superman IV: The Quest For Peace and Lifeforce.

But let's not forget that Chuck's brother Aaron directed Delta Force 2, so it's not like Chuck was railroaded into it or didn't have any power over it.

I think you're just making up excuses so you don't have to take on Chuck Norris. ;)

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

Kromm was once asked to GURPSify FATAL, but declined because the resulting cognitive dissonance would shatter the foundations of reality and turn Evil Stevie pro gun control.

Lifeforce was so bad that I wouldn't watch it if Kromm appeared in it.

Okay, that's a lie.

I would watch it then.

If he appeared naked in it, however...

That's truly a conscience question. I guess I don't know.

How great is Dr. Kromm?

While the rest of humanity has to make do with one partner (or more likely, none, for the Mom's basement Type Gamers among us), Dr. Kromm has two

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

To be precise, I had two in rapid succession back in the early 80s. I've had one partner with whom I've been involved since 1986 and to whom I've been happily married to since 1990, however. That's 20 years of being entirely monogamous.

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

Y'all hear that?

How great is Kromm?

Monogamously great!

No? Maybe a different word? What if I say it with real enthusiasm? It certainly sounds like something great, doesn't it?

Well, unless you know what it means, in which case it merely sounds like something happy, comfortable, safe and without the risk of multiple mothers-in-law.

Unless your marriage isn't happy or comfortable, in which case it probably sounds like *I told you so*

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

Nothing is wrong with that. I have only ever seriously dated one woman, when I saw her when I was twelve I told her I was going to marry her. She was five years my senior >.> (don't worry she resisted till I was eighteen ^_^)
She told me no, and I just didnt take it for a answer. I didnt stalk her or anything. She become my best friend, now she is my world, so Kromm I get you...at least in this I suppose.

BTW: Kromm read World War Z and laughed we all now that WWZ hasnt happened yet but as a mutli temporal-spacial creature he knows all that has been, is, will be, and what could be >>

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

It is rather easy to prove that Kromm is the greatest being in the universe. Imagine the supreme being, who is best in everything. Now, if that being wasn't line editor of GURPS we could imagine another being, just as great in everything, who was. This being would then be superior to the first being, which is contrary to the definition of the first being.

Hence, the supreme being must be line editor of GURPS.

Re: So, how great is Kromm anyway?
 

With the caveat that we assume that everything which we imagine must exist.

Which also leads to the amusing conclusion that Kromm has a mullet and wears a pair of silver overalls, since I can't stop imagining that after his treatise on the 80s.
