    The Indian food I had was a little spicy and they warned that it was the least spicy item they had. Supposedly their food gets extremely spicy to the inexperienced tongue. The bread I had was extremely light and fluffy, I haven't really had anything like it. I have no idea what the influence...

    Which team will win Super Bowl LX?

    I absolutely love books. Thanks. Some notable things I love on about your shelf. Tim Butcher and Terry Brooks at the top there. You have those two Lone Wolf books off to the side of the first shelf and that bunch of Endless quest books (next to David Eddings) nearer the bottom. Love it...

    What are the big items that each sells (British vs. American) in their Chinese Restuarants, which are the same, which are different? I have been to an Indian Restaurant once. It was run by Indians who had very heavy accents. I think it was authentic Indian, but that's a supposition as I would...

    Two things on the picture... That look your dog is giving you... and Two...I want a closer look at the bookshelf in the background!

    D&D Movie/TV There’s a Baldur’s Gate TV Show Coming!

    You and me have VERY VERY DIFFERENT memories of those two bottom items. But hey, maybe different parts of the world saw/see different things (somehow). Almost no one, and I mean...NO one...wants Real ID. And the only ones that would even know about that stuff with WoW (as I had no idea...

    You're looking great in that first picture.

    D&D General Faerun '68 (+)

    -1968 DR Another thing to note, Forgotten Realms existed in 1968. It was far before the Grey Box and before D&D, but you'd have to ask Greenwood (or others who may be familiar with it) what it was like back then.

    D&D Movie/TV There’s a Baldur’s Gate TV Show Coming!

    I think it depends. I think some studios would be wiser to listen to their hardcore fan complaints and actually take it to heart. Those fans normally have a good feel and a good idea of what works and what doesn't. A prime example of a studio listening to the Fans and changing it's product...

    I have no desire to drive in London...rush hour or not. The worse traffic I was ever in was around 8? years ago in Los Angeles. It was 10:30 at night and Rush Hour was still going on. It took me 2.5 to 3 hours to traverse that area on my way to Disneyland. I've been to Disneyland since but...

    Which team will win Super Bowl LX?

    I didn't really watch the Superbowl. I watched the Bad Bunny show this morning. I think it may appeal to the younger generation. I think I'm too old for the music. I liked the message of "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." that was stated. I don't enjoy that type of rap that...

    Your most pointless TV/movie/book nitpicks

    Well, nitpicks...LotR and the Hobbit (live action) are too numerous to talk about when talking about them in relation to the books. The biggest nitpick I have though are all those who complain about the Hobbit and how it deviates from the book. The LotR deviates just as much (if not more)...

    Your most pointless TV/movie/book nitpicks

    Sorry, late to this party. This seems like a weird nitpick... Depends on the service Did a quick lookup. While the US ARMY uses meters to coordinate with NATO allies, the Marines still use yards in many instances. Barry, according to a quick look up was a US marine.

    It appears Lindsey Vonn (sp?) had quite a bad spill and probably is done with the games now.

    TSR On the Relative Merits of the TSR Editions

    It's been a long time and so my memory may not be clear, but I don't think the DMG came out until 1979 (78 at the earliest?). The PHB came out in 77 (I think) and I think I only paid $10 or $15 for it? Definately not $20. 2e was out in 1990, I bought my versions right when it came out...but I...

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    I think it depends. Did they suddenly appear there through no choice of their own? If so...I'd say the situation is a railroad. It's like forcing them into a dungeon. They may be able to go anywhere they want in the dungeon, but they were still forced to be there without being able to opt...
