	'''THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE''' ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are ''not'' official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).		[[Image:DPnD.JPG\|thumb\|The core rulebook]]

	They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.		==Overview==

	~~== CHANNELS ==~~		A [[retroclone]] by [[Bloat Games]], '''''Dark Places & Demogorgons''''' is heavily inspired by the series ''Stranger Things'', as the cover blatantly hints. It is based on older versions of ''[[D&D]]'' (basic D&D in particular) but makes several major adjustments.
	~~The original forums appeared to function~~ as ~~four services: preparation and communication~~ in ~~service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion~~.

	~~{{awesome}}== EVENTS ==~~		*There is a new seventh ability attribute, Survival, which is a pool of luck points you can burn to do rerolls.
	The ~~VINESAUCE MEME events that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE held were known for being diverse and involved~~, ~~due in large part to their incredibly strong YTP scene~~. ~~These events would involve VINESAUCE-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn~~'~~t exist for nearly a decade~~, and ~~some~~ that ~~still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS~~.		*There are no races, everyone is [[human]]. This makes sense because...
			*The game is set in the 1980's in a small town outside of Louisville, Kentucky.

			**Other classes one can be are Telepaths, Pyros, Experiment X and others that can use [[magic]] and [[psion]]ic powers.

	~~In later years~~, ~~an event known as GRAND FEST was hosting PREMIERES for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC 69~~, and ~~MEME Wars, as~~ of ~~2019~~.		The leveling scale is rather small, the absolute level cap being 7 (but that is optional, core rules say 5 should realistically be what you cap the players at and levels 6 and 7 are found in one of the [[splatbook\|splats]]). Healing magic (and magic in general) is incredibly rare since all of the magic and psionic classes are at the [[GM]]'s discretion.

	~~== HIGH~~-~~QUALITY RIPS and MEMES ==~~		While the game does push a lot of supernatural monsters for the players to try and take down (in either a "monster-of-the-week" fashion or as a campaign-long enemy to stop) there are also plenty of mundane enemies ranging from the school bully to corrupt police, quirky neighborhood watch mothers to secret Men in Black types.
	~~Some HIGH~~-~~QUALITY RIPS appear~~ to ~~have seen releases or updates~~ in ~~5th and 6th edition. Note that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE seem to have been most active between 2012 and 2019~~.

	* GRAND DAD 2: SPASTIC BOOGALOO		The setting is based on a real town in Kentucky but heavily modified to fit the "teens versus monsters" gameplay such as plenty of creepy woodland, lots of abandoned buildings and unique businesses that deal in less-than-normal wares. The town is also fairly small so that a kid or teen on a bike can go from one end of the town to the other in roughly an hour on foot if they are being somewhat slow. In every book there are details on quite a few areas and buildings with specific plot hooks like the roller rink with a harpy skater, a video rental store with cursed tapes and a campground near filled to bursting with creatures ordinary or otherwise.
	* GRAND DAD 3: THE GAUNTLET OF ASS (FEATURING SMOL NOZOMI, ~~TITO DICKMAN, SPONGE, HE THICC~~, and ~~SANS UNDERTALE)~~
	* GRAND DAD 4: GRAND DAD IS GOD
	* GRAND DAD 5: DEATH TO 1D4CHAN

	~~GRAND DAD IS LOVE~~		==The Books==
	~~GRAND DAD IS LIFE~~
	~~GRAND DAD WILL CONQUER THIS WIKI~~		All of them are fairly cheap and easy to get off of DriveThruRPG. They are:
	~~FOR MEMES~~		*Core Rulebook - Gives the majority of the rules and some adventure hooks, pretty much standard fare.
	~~FOR VINESAUCE~~		*Player Options and GM Guide - More classes, rules for higher level play, guidelines for the GM and a lot of 80's schlock to flesh out characters and NPCs.
	~~AND FOR~~		*Jeffersontown Setting Guide - Lots of information about the setting as well as a shit ton more adventure hooks, all based on key locations from the setting. '''NOTE''': This is based on a real life town from real life but heavily altered for 80's horror-comedy goodness.

			*UFO Investigator's Handbook - Has some silly shit in it about UFOs, including new classes so you can be a [[FATAL\|horny teenage alien]].
			*Ghost Hunter's Handbook - Sort of like the UFO handbook but all about ghosts. [[Ghostbusters RPG\|Very loose rules on busting them though.]]

	*Ghost Hunter's Handbook - Sort of like the UFO handbook but all about ghosts. [[~~Ghostbusters RPG\|Very loose rules on busting them though.]]~~
	*Cryptid Manual - While every book gives stats for numerous monsters, aliens, and general villains like bullies, cops and others, this is a book dedicated to monster cryptids like Bigfoot and goblins. Provides lore for them in a faux government file style complete with blacked out text.
	*Martial Arts Mayhem - Rules, adventures and more for how to be the next [[Monk\|Bruce Lee]].
	*Holiday Special - Basically a monster manual of creatures and foes to match several major holidays. Some of the ones you can find in it are Krampus for Christmas, zombie rabbit for Easter, and an angry sentient tree for Arbor Day.
	*Animal Bestiary - It is what it says it is. Don't need to go into it more than that, right?
	*Santa Muerte - Leaning ''incredibly'' hard into classic 80s horror movie ''The Lost Boys'' (and several others), this is a new setting and rulebook for a coastal California city of the same name that plays up all sorts of beastly challenges but also gives new ways to deal with them with new classes and equipment as well. You'll find the class "The Last Girl," locales such as the Old Indian Grounds and adventures such as "Froyo" (based on the movie "The Stuff"). If you're not keen on small town Kentucky, this might be more up your alley.
