you sir are my new hero

who is this

>>2723452
You poor child... You poor poor child...

>>2723452
Mr. Rogers.

>>2723452
-100/10

>>2723452
It's the current president of Guatemala.

>>2723457
>>2723459
>>2723461
ಠ_ಠ

>>2723452
My god.

>>2723452

This is the most badass motherfucker you will ever know. This dude could kill with a mere thought. Within him flowed pure energy to grant him perfection and purity in all he did. He controlled the five elements, and found the fourth hole women have. His voice could enthrall a city, and naught but manly essence erupted where he stood.

Not pictured is his chainsword and army of bitches, to heed his every command.

>>2723461
Goddamn, I'm so moving there!

>>2723469
What sort of rituals are required?

>>2723478
And to top it all off he survived Iwo Jima.

>>2723488

And gave president Roosevelt the plans to end the Great Depression.

>>2723491

And discovered the cures to 80% of the world's diseases

>>2723478
Please, don't say that kind of things about him.

You want Mr. Rogers awesome? Look at this:

"Mister Rogers went onstage to accept the award — and there, in front of all the soap opera stars and talk show sinceratrons, in front of all the jutting man-tanned jaws and jutting saltwater bosoms, he made his small bow and said into the microphone, "All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are. Ten seconds of silence." And then he lifted his wrist, looked at the audience, looked at his watch, and said, 'I'll watch the time." There was, at first, a small whoop from the crowd, a giddy, strangled hiccup of laughter, as people realized that he wasn't kidding, that Mister Rogers was not some convenient eunuch, but rather a man, an authority figure who actually expected them to do what he asked. And so they did. One second, two seconds, seven seconds — and now the jaws clenched, and the bosoms heaved, and the mascara ran, and the tears fell upon the beglittered gathering like rain leaking down a crystal chandelier. And Mister Rogers finally looked up from his watch and said softly, "May God be with you," to all his vanquished children."

>>2723501

>>2723478

As utterly badass as that sounds, it really isn't what I had in mind for this thread.

I mean, Rogers wasn't some badass conquering motherfucker. He was badass because he elected NOT to be. He didn't like what he saw on TV, he went into television to change that. Started his own kid's show devoted to helping kids learn about their world and how to handle anger, sadness, and death. His persona on the show was exactly the same one he showed to all the world, because it was him. No matter where you were, you saw the true Fred Rogers.

He was against drinking and smoking, and was an avid swimmer. He went up against the Nixon Administration and almost single-handedly saved the future of public television. And he did it all because he wanted our kids to have better lives.

That is Mr. Rogers' legacy, and what I tried to capture here. He's not violent. He doesn't want dominance, or victory, or whateverthefuck.

He wanted everyone to be happy. And he loved every single person he knew to exist.

He was the man who loved everyone.

In a game years ago the party was dealing with a most curious king. His nation had a small army, only for self defense. What kinds of magic that could be practiced was limited to non-dangerous spells. Only temples to netural and good deities were allowed. The king always gave the party quests that almost never involved conflict, much less actual violence. The rather blood thirsty nations around his never invaded out of prolific fear that the rightous nations also boarding this small, curious kingdom would interceed with avengence.

The king wore no armor ever, just casual clothing, but always well kept clothing. He never raised his voice, never belitted anyone and always concerned himself with the well being of his people, his children as he called them.

The party later realized, after their density wore off, that the king had introduced himself as King Rogers. Something clicked and they had a good laugh.

Then when his kingdom was invaded they dropped what they were doing and, along with the good nations bordering King Roger's nation, interceeded on his behalf. Before the battle could even being he arrived and talked down all parites involved. Everyone lef tthe field, went back to their nations and it was over. It was a bloodless war.

At the end of the game every member of the party settled within the lands of King Rogers and swore to uphold the peace of the land.

>>2723501
stick this in the deity entry under a section called Legends
or something

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29lmR_357rA

Shouldn't it be Saint Rogers?

>>2723403

OP is just fucking awesome.

Mr. Rogers is the only person who can make me feel like a total asshole.

>>2723548
Wait, you are an asshole, and you admit it.

>>2723552

Yea I know, but he makes me feel BAD about it.

>>2723526

So much rage, I can barely contain it anymore.

>>2723526

>>2723526

>>2723526
It's fox news. Everything they say is bullshit so I can't bring myself to bother raging.
Them hating or insulting somebody is pretty much the greatest compliment.

>>2723575

>>2723526
Jesus, posting something like that is dangerous, you could skyrocket someones blood pressure with that much rage fuel.

Rage is bad, so:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrqd3sV7_lI

Mr. Rogers Saves Public Televison.

>>2723577
My goal is to make Fox News say I suck, and therefore know that I am a force for awesome in the world.

>>2723526
All it proves is that O'Reilly is evil, and we already knew that.

I'll just leave this here.

>>2723593
>underage boys
>good

Fox News is run by the Catholic church! What a surprise!

>>2723573

Lol, Hi-Res...

Also.

>>2723526

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Mr. Rogers favored weapon is still the Sniper Rifle.

>>2723587
When Hannity calls me the worst thing that's happened to the world, then I know I'm doing it right.

A good way to determine whether something would cause a paladin to fall is to ask if Fox News would advocate it.

Once, Mr. Rogers actually had his car stolen (c'mon, he lived in Pittsburgh). But when the criminals later learned exactly who's car they'd taken, they later returned it and apologized.

I mean, seriously. Holy shit.

>>2723610

A paladin is walking down the street. Fox News does a special on that street. Does the paladin fall for using that street?

>>2723526
What they forget to tell you is that this Louisiana professor did not teach psychology, sociology, history, or anything like that.

He taught finance.

>>2723577
>>2723593

OH for the sake of humanity.... why would a news network give out such stupid information. Its like they are attempting to extinct mankind with dumb informations!

>>2723623
No, because they were obviously saying it was a horrible street.

>>2723615
best stuff ever
;_;

>>2723623
No, he falls because he trips over a pothole in the street that is being neglected due to a lack of funding from the city it is in.

>>2723501
The 1997 Emmy awards - his lifetime achievement award.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upm9LnuCBUM&feature=related

>>2723624
BUT HE R A SELF-TAUT SYKOLOGIST

>>2723625

>>2723615

If that is indeed true and I have no doubt if such a thing did happened, the criminals would indeed repent, the only thing that I have to say is HOLY SHIT! Think of what the world will gain if everyone knew who Mr.Roger was.

>>2723584
;_;

I myself have heard of Mr Rogers on a few occasions, vaguely, but I've never experienced a bit of it. So this whole thing is just lost on me.

>>2723640
The man lists these movies amongst an otherwise typical top 25 favorite films:

>Mrs. Doubtfire: Robin Williams's finest comedy performance

>Panic Room: A thriller with with some real originality. The most recent addition to this list.

Take that information as you will.

>>2723654

Just wiki his name and read his achievements.

>>2723552
That's not it at all, it's just that Rogers was so goddamn nice and slow to anger that anyone who said something even the slightest bit rude to him looks like a massive asshole when he continues being nice to them.

>>2723660
I know. I was being fascetious. He's another standard Fox News "expert".

>>2723526
I cannot summon enough of my anger into an image.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>2723526

Wow, and here I thought Fox News was just a bunch of assholes. I never realized they were a bunch of collosal assholes.

>>2723687
No "s" in facetious. And stop watching FOX, it's bad for your brain.

So, who wants to writefag a cleric of Mr. Rogers in action?

>>2723778
Fox News aren't assholes. They're just propaganda agents for fundamentalist backwards-ass republicanism.

>>2723782
Well thanks, I knew it looked sorta wrong.

>>2723786

Yeah. In other words...

Collosal Assholes

>>2723526

THIS JUST IN: Fox News is comprised entirely of assholes.

And now, back to our other incredibly obvious stories...

>>2723782

It would be difficult to pull it off. Not like all the enemies would step down if they have no knowledge of who the clerics were.

>>2723812

The idea is to use magic to defuse battles rather than to fight them, preferably before they begin. Diplomacy, Charm spells, et cetera. Clerics of Mr. Rogers put emphasis on Charisma, Wisdom, and Intelligence, to keep the fighting to a minimum.

And if all else fails, break out the hand-to-hand. They don't like it, but their deaths will solve nothing, and since hand-to-hand causes nonlethal damage (or at least I think so, unless 4E has done something weird to it), it's preferable to full-fledged weapons combat.

>>2723812
They would have really high speechcraft skills and a lot of restorative magic. If they can't stop the fight they can run away, or call on the blessing of Mr. Rogers.

clerics of Mr. Rogers need a bonus to calm emotions or something
like cl and dc boosts
maybe a domain?

what's the peace domain's bonus?

I don't think Mr. Rogers clerics would work as a PC class.

They're more the "stay in town and teach the children" type. There's no good reason for them to ever leave town than to maybe get to another town.

>>2723403
just knowing this is here, i can sleep well tonight

night, /tg/

>>2723888
I think I'll take this as my cue as well.
Good night everyone.

/tg/

I love you SO MUCH

>>2723898
>>2723888
It's a sign of the endtimes.

>>2723660
Panic Room was okay. But I really like Forest Whitaker.

it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
a beautiful day for a neighbor

>>2723945
Won't you be mine?

Not exactly related to the build, but I thought some guys here would appreciate it.

http://pbskids.org/rogers/songlist/

You'll need RealPlayer to listen to these, but that list contains all of Mr. Rogers' major-appearance songs.

Just, y'know. If you wanted to listen.

so what race would have most of the Clerics of Mr. Rodgers?

>He wanted everyone to be happy. And he loved every single person he knew to exist.

you just made me cry

Bump for the unbridled holy light that is Mr. Rogers.

I've seen this on other forums - how the mention of Mr Rogers' name makes the foul-mouthed, cynical and argumentative suddenly respectful, reverent and unified.

I don't think I expected it to be so pronounced here, on a forum defined by anonymous trolling and rage. I have never in my entire life been more impressed by a man's achievements than I am right now. I'm genuinely touched, and I'd like to thank you all for surprising me this way.

When I see someone contradict another poster on 4chan not by saying 'DERP DERP NO U IDIOT' but instead a gentle "please, don't say that kind of things about him." Well - I'm in awe. Looking at the comments thread on that youtube video, too, there are people saying of Fox News and its staff "I want to rage and call you names, but Mr Rogers taught me better than that."

On a youtube comments thread. I thought it was a law of nature that youtube comments had to be awful, but if it is then it's one that's been broken.

It's humbling. I think I want to be like this every day from now on.

>>2726925
I understand and sympathize, and that's why I try to do things on 4chan how I do, even before this thread. DOn't simply rip into someone with insults and rage, but take the time to figure out what he doesn't like about it and see if you can keep the core of the conversation without it.

>>2726925
1) It's done ironically you cock wipe.

2) Not all of us are american, Mr Rogers is someone that 97% of the world won't recognise.

>>2726968
1: No, it is not. At least, not from some of us. I have the utmost respect for the man, and every time I think of him, I am instilled with peace, and awe at the power a truly peaceful man holds.

2: I know this to be true, but it saddens me. I was lucky enough to grow up with an example as pure as him watching over me, even if, as a child, I found him corny.
If you did not have the opportunity to watch his show growing up, I encourage you to look up some of his old episodes. Do not look at them as an adult, jaded and bitter. Do not look at them as an old man playing pretend. Look at them as a child would, mind open, and willing to change, if you find something about yourself worth changing. (and you will, if you bother to look)

>>2727093
Agreed. Mr. Rogers could have totally gotten into my tighty whities when I was a kid.

>>2727110
0/10
Clear your mind of perversion.

2726925 here.

>1) It's done ironically you cock wipe.

I know, but that doesn't necessarily excuse it. If it's funny, that's great, but how often is it really funny?

The whole point of trolling is that you aren't sincere, but it still gets wearying after a while. It's nice to see people being genuinely respectful about something.

>2) Not all of us are american, Mr Rogers is someone that 97% of the world won't recognise.

I'm British. I never watched Mr Rodgers Neighbourhood growing up. That's what makes this especially moving, I'm an outside observer seeing this outpouring of respect and reverance all these people have for this man who affected them so profoundly.

>>2727153
he wasn't.

I remember watching Mr. Roger's Neighborhood a little while back. He educated me on the existence of a substance called 'apple butter'.

Knock knock Mr. Rogers it's Mr. McFeely
I've brought you a letter speedy delivery

Well Mr. McFeely if there's postage due
You can go fuck yourself like Captain Kangaroo

I can go to land of make believe and I can pretend
But in the end I still have no friends


Mr. Rogers I like your cardigan sweater

Mr. McFeely shut up and give me my letter
I don't want to talk to you don't you understand?
Why are you inside my house, you're just my fuckin' mailman?

I can go to land of make believe and I can pretend
But in the end I still have no friends


Your best friend is you I'm my best friend too
I share the same views and hardly ever argue
Eat Spam from the can watch late night C-Span
And rock out to old school Duran Duran

>>2723637
All rage is gone. I am completely and utterly calm. Thank you Fred Rogers.

Mr. Rogers taught me about how prisms work......I think.

>>2727462
That might have been Mr. Wizard.

>>2727469
Still, Mr. Rogers = Awesome

>>2727469
>>2727473
I still miss both of them...

>>2727292
I don't know how I could have ever been who I am without him.

No matter how I feel about myself, there's always an inkling of ego mixed with self preservation that always makes me grin and bear it. And be glad that I did.

Sure, Maybe he gave us undue feelings of self entitlement and ego... But when you consider things... As much as you may want to care for others and make things better. To Improve things around you, You STILL have to look out for number one. If you're dead and gone, you can't do jack for anyone else. You're a person too, and just as deserving of those you give to.

When Fred Rogers died, I remember feeling an immense sadness, but also Acceptance. He would not have wanted me to mourn for him, but rather, Celebrate his life, and the gifts he gave and received. In fact, that affected me so profoundly that I take that stance on death In General. As a result, I hate funerals.

>>2723501
Mr. Rogers = Charismatic Hero?
or
Mr. Rogers = Statless

>>2727501
Statless Charismatic DMNPC.

Stat Mr. Rogers' Iconomancy powers.

>>2727520
Impossible.

>>2727506
In much that same vein, what about Bob Ross? Him and Mr. Rogers were staples of my childhood. Bless that magnificent bastard for making me think I could paint like him.

>>2727538
Seems completely appropriate to me. I'm gonna go grab PoMoMa and try and make something similar real quick.

>>2727545
You really can pretty much teach yourself to do anything. It's just a matter of how much raw talent you yourself have, and how much work you're willing to put into it.

>>2727564
True, but he made it look so damn SIMPLE that literally ANYONE could do it. There was no TRY with him, only DO or NOW PAINT A HAPPY LITTLE CLOUD.

>>2727545
Visual paxil. Everything was cool when he was talking.

>>2727581
Yea. He was awesome.

We had something so much more awesome than Blues Clues or some of the crap they have these days.
I refuse to swear in a Mr. Rogers thread.

>>2723615

That's awesome.

I'll bet you anything priests of Rogers are like Jedi without the nonchalance they show in actually ending life, or the arrogance they show in actively manipulating others.

Actually, nothing like Jedi at all except for the bitching robes.

>>2727545

You KNOW that guy's killed someone.

Ok, next question, we can agree that Bob Ross is awesome, but is he anywhere near awesome enough to aspire to the same godly tier as Mr. Rogers?

>>2727613

No. Mr. Rogers was not a mass murderer that mixed the blood of his victims into his paints, or used their hair as brushes or their skin as canvas.

>>2727613
No, but he is of the same portfolio and domains.

Britfag here. I started smoking when I was fifteen. Another fifteen years of my life and more money than I care to count went into that addiction. I tried to quit multiple times, but I eventually went back to it when I got stressed out over simple things. Getting pissed off over public transit, my boss for being an intolerable asshole, kids for being loud when I'm trying to sleep during the day for my nightshift job. I went right back to those cancer sticks.

Then an American friend I'd met on IRC mentioned something about how I needed to calm down and just remember Mr. Rogers. Of course, I didn't know who that was and I had to ask. He showed me the video in >>2723584's post, as an example. I asked him if he could send me a few videos.

That changed my life. I haven't smoked a cigarette in over three years. Public transit never seems to get to me anymore. I've stopped getting hostile with my boss, and he's stopped acting like I'm giving him a hard time. And you know, the world looks a lot brighter, these days.

Thank you, Fred Rogers. Thank you.

>>2727613
no one is

Mr. Rogers is the Television Father, and his effects are strongly positive. *A Trip To The Factory* can supply the Iconomancer with knowledge of how any object was constructed for 2 minor charges.

...just to give an example of what I was talking about. I'm having trouble thinking of a good one for *The Neighborhood of Make-Believe*.

>>2723501
>>2723509
>>2723511

>>2727613
Nowhere near.

You guys are so mean, this is bringing back all sorts of stuff I'd repressed. ;_;

>>2727800
Relax, brah. It's what he would have wanted.

>>2727818
Nah man, my uncle that died, I used to watch this show with him. Now I'm going to be dreaming he's still alive for the next few months. Again.

God damn it.

Every time I see this thread, I can't post like normal. I can't be an antagonistic asshole as long as this thread exists.

>>2727835
As the world ends around you, exploding with the force of a billion suns, entirely in flames. At the Warp opens up to consume everything, Mr. Rogers will walk up to you, look you right in the eyes, and tell you you're safe.

>>2727835
Oh come on shas, you know you're not as much of an ass that most people say you are.

>>2727855
And he'd be right. Mr Rogers was the only thing in existence that could close warp storms by showing it a video on how harmonicas are made.

>>2727655

Christ, I had one of those realization moments, too. Except mine was from Denis Leary.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS4jRWSTUlg

>>2727890
my eyes are tearing up from reading this

I watched that video with Rogers talking to Congress. The moment he started speaking the tears came, and I couldn't make them stop.

>>2727923
Watching it now.

>>2727915
"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!"

"You know, It's not good to hurt people. Do you like it when you get hurt?"

"SKULLS FOR THE SKU- what? uhh... I- I guess I never really thought about it... but I- I just get so mad that I..."

"It's OK to feel mad sometimes, but it's not good to take it out on other people."

"It's not?"

"No. When you're mad, instead of hurting people, why don't you try talking with them about what makes you mad."

"Uhhh... yeah. I'll try that."

"That's great. Would you like to hear a song?"

"Boy would I!"

>>2728001
I can totally see that happening.

>>2728049
Thus is the power of our Lord Mr. Rogers.

stuff like this makes me love you, /tg/

Dammit.

I'm a Eurofag so I didn't grow up with Mr. Rogers, but I've been watching him on Youtube for over half an hour now and I already love the guy.

I present a new quest to you, enlightened followers of the good man.
Find ye the most powerful, touching video of Mr. Rogers you can.
Take this video, and a camcorder, and begin to drive. Do not stop until you find the supposedly "great" chuck norris.
Show your video to norris, and use your camcorder to record his tears.
Place the resultant video on youtube, and let the world see, finally, and undeniably, the power of light and good that is our eternal neighbor, Fred Rogers.

>>2723403
Man, if I could get an autographed photo of Mister Rogers I would frame that shit with gold, and hang it above my bed.

>>2723637

You know, a few days after that happened, my father got a call from Robert Ritchie. Apparently, the two of them used to write songs together, in high school.

You guys probably know him better as Kid Rock, though.

I hope someone archives this

Fuck Mr. Rogers, his show was goddamn horrible.

>>2728103

It already has been, it just needs voting up so it doesn't end up sinking into the mire with the paladin and drow threads.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html

what was so bad about it, in your eyes?

>>2728120

You really shouldn't be so negative about him. Which episodes did you see?

I love you guys.

>>2728129
>>2728130
:D I knew you guys would follow our great lord's teachings!

I think this hate for Mr. Rogers stems from a childhood experience that resulted in severe trauma.

Thread archived.

>>2728103

It's already done.

I have to say, the response here surprised me. I was expecting some feedback but not this sizable outburst. Guess I underestimated exactly how many people Fred McFeely Rogers made a difference to during his lengthy run on public TV.

Thank you all for coming, and for your kind words. And remember one thing when you leave:

It doesn't matter who you are, or what you've done, or where you're from. Mr. Rogers loved you. He wanted nothing more than to help you feel better and to control your anger into constructive channels. He wanted to give nervous and worried Cold War Era kids a nationally televised shoulder to lean on, and a kindly voice to hear. He wanted to make a difference, and he changed his life to do so.

And he still loves everybody, /tg/. Never forget that, because it's a good thing. Everybody is special. And knowing that can give you a funny feeling, down in the bottom of your heart, that will help you get through any bad day.


It's such a good feeling, to know you're alive...

http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/mrrogers.asp

"This same rumor has often been applied to boyish country singer-songwriter John Denver (among others), and it's just as false when told of Fred Rogers. Not only did Fred Rogers never serve in the military, there are no gaps in his career when he could conceivably have served in the military - he went straight into college after high school, he moved directly into TV work after graduating college, and his breaks from television work were devoted to attending the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (he was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1963) and the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Child Development. Moreover, Fred Rogers was born in 1928 and was therefore too old to have enlisted in the armed services by the time of America's military involvement in Vietnam.

>>2728120
It's not nice of you to resort to such foul language.
Do you like it when people address you in such a manner?

>>2728158
I MUST RAAAGE FFFFFFUUUUUUuuuuuuu. . .uuu. . .

I didn't watch Mr. Roger's Neighborhood as a child. I know now that doing so would have saved me a lot of grief as a teenager.

>>2728130
>>2728129
nicemind?

>>2728140
Please, do not call him our lord. While he was a great and wise leader, I have little doubt he would want so haughty a title as "lord" foisted upon him.

He did not own us, nor did he feel we owed him anything. He only wanted to help us to become better people, and to have us all be as good of friends as possible. If you MUST apply a title to him, let it be the one he applied to himself in life.

Be well, my Neighbors.

>It's not nice of you to resort to such foul language.

I applaud your effort, but I think we should remember that Mr Rogers was always genuine and sincere. It's not really genuine to tell people off for swearing on 4chan, because there's no taboo against swearing here, and we all know it.

If you want to respond in a constructive way then I think it's best to focus on the feelings and the reasons behind the swearing. We know he's trolling by attacking something everyone else cares about. Is it for humorous effect? Or does he feel left out?

And at the same time, we shouldn't assume that it's the result of some deep trauma on his part, or that he's a sociopath, or that he's really ronery and can only troll to for attention, because that would be passive-aggressive internet psychoanalysis which is just another form of flaming.

"What didn't you like about it?" is an awesome response.

>>2728210
The best course of action would be to call him either Mr. Rogers or Sir. Even if he were royalty, I don't think he would want anything more than this.

>>2728246
I hate that art-style. It's so god damned creepy.

That's Frank Quitely, motherfucker. Show him some respect.

Doesn't matter. Still creepy.

Also, Lanternthief dropping by the Mr. Rogers thread to say that I, too, grew up with him on my TV set.

I cried when I heard he died. This thread made me tear up.

just popping back in to make this the last thread i see tonight before i head off to play d&d with my friends

you guys take care of yourselves

Bump to disperse rage.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, people.
