I'm with you. Not that I am giving it up or anything, but I have radically cut back the time I spend involved in rpg related activity over the past few months (GenCon is the exception). I have got the dissertation I am trying to start and finish before May, which takes up lots of my time and...

I am a Mac user as well. I bought an iBook last year after using Macs at school. I figured being able to write anywhere (see sig) would be useful. I don't use it for games too much, but that is because I am not all that tech savvy. Maybe I can pick up some tips here?!

I cannot add much, other than to the chorus of "thank yous". You deserve many of those for ENWorld and all your work herein. Good luck with your new job and have fun with your new game!

I thought he moved it for pacing and to give Frodo and Sam more to do in the 3rd film. If Shelob is not in the third film, then it's just Sam rescuing Frodo and lots of dust, ash, and a nasty walk through Mordor until the climax. This is opposed to (for the other characters) the Paths of the...

My wife and I are trying a cable-free experiment since we moved in July. It's been seven weeks with no TV. We have liked it a lot. Both of us remarked about how much reading we have done and we've watched a lot of movies. We are, however, jonesing for a cable modem and want to watch college...

Re: This bited :) Sure. "Blame Canada!" :D

I try (with widely varrying degrees of success) to find a "center" or "centers" for my character -- motivating forces, themes, things that drive him or her. Other behaviors follow from that. Typically, these themes are not widely different from things that I as a person am concerned with, but...

It has been awhile since I have been, but I always thought the ride portiion of the Scandanavia corner of EPCOT was pretty cool. You get in this Viking-style longboat thing and go on a historical boat ride of the Fjordlands. It starts with Vikings and ends with oil rigs in the North Sea. Plus...

I agree with WizarDru. The show is downright hilarious the first few times you watch it, but the commentary quickly gets annoying. Do you need that much bad sexual innuendo when watching people get pegged by softballs or having to play tug of war with a cow is so amusing in and of itself?

Yep. I am sure my wife is tired of me talking about Gen Con. Of course! Your on line game got ringing endorsements from Buttercup and Stone Angel, so I am all for playing in a alsih2o game.

How about a survivor from some previous expedition that has insinuated himself into a position of power with some natives because he looks different? His difference in appearance makes the natives regard him as some sort of celestial, when in fact he was a cabin boy or other nobody from long...

8 hour slot! Yipes! I am sure it will be well worth it, even if it is a total, utter, disaster.:D I would certainly be down with forming a team with alsih20, spider, zarathustran, and pielorinho. We could let Cthulhu's Librarian fill in Teflon Billy's spot, if he will be running the game.

Damn right.

Still excited abou this idea and still willing to help however I can.

Certainly my best game at GenCon, hands down. Maybe we should just start a PiratecatCon, where he runs games for everyone, all the time. We, of course, would get special treatment. :D Or, we could just plan on gaming together every GenCon. That's better than, say, not.
