As near as I can tell, there have now been fourteen generations of Bathroom Spider in my house...

Yeah, that stuff is good for about 2 weeks in the freezer before it starts to lose it's flavor when it thaws...

Y'know, this might explain why sometimes when I'm stripping paint off my minis they end up with a blackish crust on them - manganese oxide is often used as a pigment in paint... I usually dump them in Simple Green for a few days, then scrub the paint off, rinse them off under the faucet, and put...

My father moved in with his girlfriend years ago and I live at the family home by myself now. I know it's technically my old man's house, but ye gods how I hate it when I come home and find out that he's been there while I was gone... He rearranges things and doesn't put them back where they...

Damn... I just found out that Grant Imahara from Mythbusters passed away. One of the few times in my life the passing of a celebrity has made me truly sad.

Yeah, seriously... next time you wildshape into something with hooves, kick them when they get annoying. Then when you change back, you can tell them, "Sorry, it was just my dumb animal instincts..."

I once had a turkey try to FLY across the road right in front of me... :rolleyes: The stupid bird came right in my driver's side window and hit me in the face. I still have no idea how I managed to not run off the road - I had to slam it's head against the dashboard a few times before I could...

From an in-game perspective, unless those spells are going to be a major aspect of your character as a rogue with a single-level dip you're probably going to be finding yourself only using the same two or three spells most of the time... As mentioned, the druid's spells are generally going to be...

I'm one of those been-playing-longer-than-you've-been-alive guys with six or seven thick notebooks of characters they've written up (not all of them actually played, but all fully fleshed out), so trying to figure out who or what I generally play most often would take some research... I...

One of the few decent shows on MTV back when they still occasionally played music videos...

From Wikipedia: "The circle is found by holding the blade of the cutting instrument (never the handle) in the hand used for cutting, and slowly swinging the arm in a 360° arc. The far end of the handle marks the limits of the circle. Any person or thing within this circle is considered to be at...

Mage Hand: The first answer is yes if the crossbow in question is unattended, but if somebody's holding it then that's up to the DM - traditionally, that's always sort of been where the line was drawn as far as the power of the spell: affecting an object that a hostile creature is holding is...

On an entirely different note, the Scottish military just released the first photos of their new miniature drone program...

My job requires us to wear masks - we're a pharmaceuticals company, so half the time I was already wearing arm sleeves, beard guard and hair net anyway. Now, with the bandana I wear, I at least don't have to deal with the crappy bead guards anymore. Also, my bandana is black and covered in...

Oh, man... There's a local place called Friendly Pizza that does some reaaaaally good specialty pies... They're expensive, but they stack the toppings on those things. One of my favorites is the potato pie - it's a white pizza (olive oil, oregano and parmesan rubbed on the dough), then they lay...
