Moving to other subject. Don't you just hate it when a season of some series end in a major cliffhanger. I was watching SG Atlantis yeasterday and hit the end of season 1. Now I want to see how it figures out, but I don't have enough money to buy the next season. Bummer. Now I'm upset! | I also hate it when they do that. I remember the first time ST:TNG did that when the BORG with the Borg captured Picard. But then, that was before the writers of Star Trek decided that the Borg were to be used as "ratings grabbers."

| Aargh! I need a new name for the dragonborn for my setting. The dragonborn is silly name. It's something that the humans might call the species but they should have a real name that they use themselves. I'm using Dragan as a placeholder now, but I'm not sure I like it either. Maybe I should latinize the plural form... | |

(I wonder if Dracha is supposed to be based on the German word "Drache" for dragon?)
How about... Man-Drake?  Drakeman?
What's with Half-Dragon?
I think I am going to describe my Dragonborn Warlord in our Savage Tides-converted-to-Pathfinder-converted-to- 4E campaign as a Half-Dragon.

Battlestar Galactica, I am looking at you! Quote: |

| One doesn't get far without them, either.
The simple expands incredibly fast and after maybe a dozen or so steps the paper gets a little to small.

Not really loud, but still loud enough to wake me from the few light sleep moments.
I left the window open and eventually used some ear plugs (that I still have from my time in my military! Eeek!), though I woke up again (when it was silent) and put them out...
I think I slept around 1:30 or 2 in the morning, and woke up again at 7:00...

And on to the next topic (or back to an old one): I realized I had to change the name of one culture in my homebrew. These people were called "She". When writing the stuff down in english it started sounding confusing. Luckily I hadn't even gotten to portion where I'd describe a female "She". She's a She . I decided to add another e to the name of the nation and the people. So now it's "Shee". Hopefully it's a little less confusing | |
