I have a living megalodon that you can play dice with.

First thought upon reading that segment: How much experience does he need to advance to 4th-party bill collector, and will he get the chance to pick up a weapon specialty other than rocks and fruit?

I've found you can make slaads more palatable with the proper slaad dressing. Very simple idea: Have you considered mixing a few of your favorite spices in oil?

Who produced the study that revealed dark dice roll faster and are more likely to land big number up? I remember the explanation involved the physics of heat absorption and how it favored dice faces with greater surface area (i.e. more pips or more digits carved into the side). Darned if I can...

"Yes, Bob speaks about you all the time!..." I love that. I remember hearing about a troupe of performers who created surreal situations in real world environments purely for amusement sake. For example, a couple might play out an argument in a coffee shop, storm out, and then immediately...

I can't search the archives here. Is this Stranger by Billy Joel person still a registered user who posts messages?

The recent reference in another thread about the DM-for-pay concept got me to wonder about the nature of "roleplaying" and to what degree we play roles in other aspects of our lives. For example, if I remember correctly, the nigh-legendary "Bugaboo" guy from years gone by had several associates...

What a great idea! Or pass the DM a few bucks under the table every time he rolls for monster initiative and weapon damage against your character. The more I hear about this "pro DM" concept, the more I like it.

Should she have been able to kill him with one stroke? It didn't look like a crit to me.

It's been my experience that coaches, teachers, craftsmen, consultants and such at the mid professional level tend to charge $30-$50 per basic "unit" of their efforts -- a music lesson, for example, or a small marble created by a glassblower. Or consider editors who charge per word, hour or...

Wow. That Boogaloo character must have been a frippin' jeeeeenyus! I assume he was clever enough to suggest a pay scale that allowed players to buy favors with real cash? The promise of finding a +5 sword, for example, for $20 before the game starts? Or skill bonuses on a per-dollar basis?

(low moan) Ach. That's painful. Just ... painful.

Well, yeah! Sheesh. $15 Canadian is, like, $2 in real American money, right? What a rip-off!

I don't know. The concept seems sorta .... iffy. :\

Eric, I am sorry for your loss. My sympathies and best wishes go out to you and yours. -Brian

http://jerome.galica.free.fr/cinetv/dungeonsdragons/dungeonsdragons.htm Thought you might appreciate the "microheroes" adaptation of the classic D&D characters. No Uni, though. :(

Have the campaign Bad Guy shoot several out of a specially made big-@$$ barrel at the Adventuring Heroes. At some point he'll get to ask them, "I know what you're thinking: 'Did he fire six bulettes or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself...

A "flinker" or "karsponi" If the flinker is a youthful person, then it's "norpitz" instead.

Four or more sheets of paper filled with notes seems excessive for a tabletop game. Might as well play a computer game and let the machine keep track of the database.

With all the available feats and alternate abilities and special stuff via prestige classes -- plus extras provided by a character's gear itself -- how many pages does it take for you to keep track of all the bonuses and penalties and special circumstances necessary to play your PC to its...
