Jason, I have fond memories of playing the Aliens RPG at the Carleton U Strategy Club in the early 1990s. If you're ever looking for players for that one-shot, I'm sure I can gather up a few. One might still even have the book. No promises as to remembering how the system runs however... :)...

When I start to play with a new group, I tend to ask the DM if I should bring anything. I'm generally willing to buy stuff, and share with the group. On the other hand, I've played in groups where everyone pretty much just brought their own junk food. No problem there either, as long as I'm...

I'll see what I have in the car when I drive down. Maybe I'll bring up Doug and the Slugs. They've got a weird idea of what Smarties are. They think that Rockets are Smarties... Yeah, I'll be by, but I've got a dinner meeting at 7:30, so I won't be there for long.

Speaking of which, is anyone bringing along some Canadian music? I just started hearing a recorder play. You've got the all-dressed chips... I think I'll grab another Canadian variety: Ketchup chips!!! If we wanted to be mean we could trick those American gamers. We could bring along some...

Having had a chance to demo Rocketmen, I enjoy it. I also like the fact that it is pulp-era science fiction. I think it is going to be a fun game, and look forward to it. It's simplicity, inexpensive price, and the fact that (like Pirates) everything you need to play can be found in one...

Let's see, where to start... I'll show my bias by announcing that I'm an Envoy in the WizKids system. I don't believe that WizKids is overextending themselves. Yes, they have branched out from their CMGs (Collectible Miniature Games) into CSGs (Constructible Strategy Games), yes they have a...

I know, I know, I still haven't gotten in touch with you after Origins... Anyways, I think I've still got some flag pins and stickers that I should get to you (as well as that MechWarrior figure). I'll see what other Canadiana I can contribute. I'm arriving in on Wednesday, but am not sure...

Just going to add a little correction. The Batman t-shirts were from Upper Deck (I believe) promoting their VS card game. The booth was next to the WizKids area, where HeroClix demos were being run. WizKids was handing out the Pirate ship Revenge and temporary pirates tattoos for people...

I can't say that I appreciated the Canadian uniforms last night. They were ugly. I know they were a tribute to the Winnipeg uniforms from the 20s, but really. When I watch Team Canada, I want to see Red and White! Angus

Well... Food at Steak N' Shake good. Service when servers are swamped with gamers at 01:00 bad. I think I asked for cutlery 5 times before any was brought for our table. Any food that could be eaten without the cutlery was gone by that point. :) I did enjoy Steak N' Shake enough to go...

Well, after reading the GenCon threads, I have a recommendation for gaming families... Don't get Piratecat to DM for you! :D armac

I was at a bar with friends, and paid my tab just before the Colts made it 35-21. When I saw the Colts get that touchdown, I waited for the on-side kick. After they got it, I ended up staying and watching the whole game, with my coat on, ready to leave. Nobody that was there watching the...

Doesn't this come down to the argument of nurture vs nature? Can the kobolds, and the white dragon, be taught to not be evil? If there is no immediate danger to the town, why wouldn't the paladin try to convert the kobolds and dragon. They might have to struggle against their nature to...

That's what he'd like you to think...

Arr! I be named Red Roger Cash, and I be watching for the Crimson Permanent Assurance as they raid swollen financial districts.

Ottawa notes LOL. On the very crowded bus on the way home from work yesterday, a few of us were commenting on this, and I started singing it. Everyone laughed. Mayor Bloomberg blames Canada; our provincial government is telling us that it happened on the NY side of Niagara Falls. Should...

Perhaps this would get better response in the Rules forum... Of course, as one of VictorSim's players, I agree with Dimwhit. :D Could this be moved to the Rules forum so that our party can get enough replies to convince the Sim that we are right? armac [edit: LOL, while posting this it was...

Oh, my! Thanks for the laughs Piratecat! The first story was great, and I didn't think there was any way to top it. Then the second story did! And then Wulf's reaction (which I second!)... Umm, everyone is wondering why I'm laughing... :D armac

Piratecat, Do you mind if I repost this on another gaming message board? I can either credit it to you as "Piratecat from ENWorld" (and give these boards a plug), or I could use your real name. Angus

lunchtime yesterday? Hmmm, I was at Fandom yesterday during my lunch hour too. I didn't hear any conversations about Origins, or see any kids in the store so I must have just missed everyone. Angus
