Dungeon Master Forum

This six minute piece of high intellectual definition of Chaos seems to fit the description of Chaos found in Dungeon Master, please have a listen from beginning to end and hear for yourself if it is Chaos. It was a gift from a friend, the second gift I got yesterday. Unfortunately I did not get a gift today, lost a friend life is so ^%#$# precious, life is full of ups and downs, live it well.

Sorry to hear you lost a friend Chaos

At work right now so don't have time to check out your link...will give a listen another time.

Thanks Zedd, it is a tragic loss, only a kid, just turned 30 the month before.

I think the vid describes Chaos pretty good. Let me know what you think.

The words:

CHAOS NEVER DIED. Primordial uncarved block, sole worshipful monster, inert & spontaneous, more ultraviolet than any mythology (like the shadows before Babylon), the original undifferentiated oneness-of-being still radiates serene as the black pennants of Assassins, random & perpetually intoxicated.

Chaos comes before all principles of order & entropy, it's neither a god nor a maggot, its idiotic desires encompass & define every possible choreography, all meaningless aethers & phlogistons: its masks are crystallizations of its own facelessness, like clouds.

Everything in nature is perfectly real including consciousness, there's absolutely nothing to worry about. Not only have the chains of the Law been broken, they never existed; demons never guarded the stars, the Empire never got started, Eros never grew a beard.

No, listen, what happened was this: they lied to you, sold you ideas of good & evil, gave you distrust of your body & shame for your prophethood of chaos, invented words of disgust for your molecular love, mesmerized you with inattention, bored you with civilization & all its usurious emotions.

There is no becoming, no revolution, no struggle, no path; already you're the monarch of your own skin--your inviolable freedom waits to be completed only by the love of other monarchs: a politics of dream, urgent as the blueness of sky.

To shed all the illusory rights & hesitations of history demands the economy of some legendary Stone Age--shamans not priests, bards not lords, hunters not police, gatherers of paleolithic laziness, gentle as blood, going naked for a sign or painted as birds, poised on the wave of explicit presence, the clockless nowever.

Agents of chaos cast burning glances at anything or anyone capable of bearing witness to their condition, their fever of lux et voluptas. I am awake only in what I love & desire to the point of terror--everything else is just shrouded furniture, quotidian anaesthesia, shit-for-brains, sub-reptilian ennui of totalitarian regimes, banal censorship & useless pain.

Avatars of chaos act as spies, saboteurs, criminals of amour fou, neither selfless nor selfish, accessible as children, mannered as barbarians, chafed with obsessions, unemployed, sensually deranged, wolfangels, mirrors for contemplation, eyes like flowers, pirates of all signs & meanings.

Here we are crawling the cracks between walls of church state school & factory, all the paranoid monoliths. Cut off from the tribe by feral nostalgia we tunnel after lost words, imaginary bombs.

The last possible deed is that which defines perception itself, an invisible golden cord that connects us: illegal dancing in the courthouse corridors. If I were to kiss you here they'd call it an act of terrorism--so let's take our pistols to bed & wake up the city at midnight like drunken bandits celebrating with a fusillade, the message of the taste of chaos.

Chaos-Shaman: I feel compelled to ask:

"Are you OK? Is there anything we can do to help?"

LOL, Okay, As good I can be at this time. Am I going through difficult times, Yes, but I did not post that because of life giving me curve balls. Did it to actually ask everyone, does this define Chaos? Nothing can survive without it, it appears that DM creators had it right. The story they give seems to be similar to the description above. Like money, it can be used for good or for bad reasons, chaos is much the same. Art is chaotic and would not exist without it.

Thank you for being concerned though, that was sweet of you to be so kind, I am fine Paul I am actually excited about working on DM, will have some more time to get Chaos under control, work with him this winter.
