Re: Let there be feasting and rejoicing throughout the land! Excellent reasons for festivities, both. Would you like a cake to celebrate? -WLS

I've taken versions of this test 3 times in the last fifteen years. The first time I was an INTP, the second time an INFP, and this last time an INTJ. Clearly, the distinguishing aspect of my personality is the IN, with the ability to move between T/F and P/J as time and circumstances change...

I'm pretty sure most of our gaming group (see "Welcome to the Halmae" on the story hour page) will be there. It's just too close for us not to go, especially since the SO and I are probably not making it to Indianapolis this year. It's been a long time since I went to a Con that didn't involve...

No, it's not true. Obviously they didn't finish all of the books at once, but we got complete versions of the PHB to playtest. As playtesting progressed, they did redo the PHB and send out new copies. That's a positive testament to the process, though, because it means they were really...

Not only good writing, but a great story. I can see it very easily as a graphic novel. The style and tone fit the medium. I think it might be too bloody for a movie, and an animated series probably requires too many resources. If you're really interested in publishing, I'd recommend the...

Re: Re: Feel the love! Then I understand your annoyance with the player. The thing is, though, that I also understand how the player might be frustrated. I'm not going to address what *characters* can be expected to know. That's something that will vary considerably campaign to...

Follow-up question here. How precisely did you respond when he reminded you about the magic weapon? Did you say something along the lines of "Yes, and I know how magic weapons affect DR. But you know, this sword just doesn't seem to be hurting the rat-creatures that much." Or did you just...

Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" I'm about halfway through, and *wow*. -WLS

Shameless pimping, it is. But really, if you're going to watch the episodes again anyway, why not check out the trivia and add an extra level of amusement? -WLS

Wow. Some very good comments in this thread. Special props to Eric Noah, Pielorinho, and Barsoomcore for arguing my beliefs for me. Here’s my take. 1) It is indeed possible for a man and a woman to be friends without any sexual tension at all. Some of my oldest buddies are men, and sex has...

Sure sounds like a werewolf to me. But I'll try not to make any assumptions :D Fun story hour. I'm always a sucker for modern-day campaigns. -WLS

Oops. I did indeed mean the USS Constitution, first launched in 1797 and the oldest commissioned warship still afloat. See http://www.ussconstitutionmuseum.org/ Although the piece of paper is also very cool, of course. :D -WLS

My favorite Boston attraction has always been the Constitution. It's very cool, and especially likely to be appreciated by a gamer. -WLS

I'm going to sidestep most of the issues that have been raised and respond to Logiqc's original question. Yes, I've seen men roleplay high charisma women well, it wasn't freaky, and everyone at the table enjoyed it immensely. I've also seen some pretty poor examples of cross gender...

*speechless* WOW Thank you very much, Sepulchrave, for giving me a story hour that, in addition to fabulous characters and imagery, actually made me think. Your work is truly appreciated. -WLS

I haven't heard anything official, but at one point Tim Minear publicly committed to an eventual DVD release. "Also, since the final three episodes are going to be put through post-production and finished, there is the question of a possible future DVD release. “Yes,” Minear says. “We are bound...

Yep. That one. Much better than having to search through the story hour to find it. Thanks! -WLS

Damn, I just stumbled across this, and it's great! So where do I find that link for the Freeport stories.... -WLS

Is it just me, or does this look a lot like Mara?
