    Why so anti-Palladium

    Rifts? Gosh, you kids. Back in the day, it was the brand-new AD&D, Runequest if you could get your hands on a copy, or Palladium. After the Four Basic Food Groups and no parry and no skill checks, it was amazing to be able to do something different. And workable. Ego? No offense, people, but...

    I guess we know how the last cliff-hanger episode concluded.... The last scream of agony had ceased to echo from the walls. Mythago stood alone in the center of the area. The only sound was the slow drip-drip-drip of blood from Macbeth's shattered corpse and the bubbly rasp of Mythago's...

    It's also a good idea to keep the judges' e-mail addresses handy, so if the boards crash or you have Web access problems, you can e-mail it to them.

    Nobody's done a 'best of,' but BardStephenFox has marked which ones were contest winners.

    If Pkitty bowed out to give a newbie a slot, um, *I* should probably be bowing out instead of Piratecat. I could actually go today if carpedavid is around, otherwise, not till Thursday.

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    The "useful information" is that they don't want to accept your offer. That's it. They don't owe you an ego-boost, a helpful listing of what might have made them say yes, an excuse for refusing, or an explanation of their own faults that make them unsuitable for you. If you're doing...

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    Oh, I agree. I, personally, favor the "Oh, thank you, but no" followed by the "What part of NO failed to penetrate the crabbed recesses of your skull?!" method. ;)

    Are Your Games Rated G, PG, R, X, etc.?

    I'm kinda between games right now, but I tend to run horror, so an R rating is the floor rather than the ceiling. That said, blow-by-blow descriptions of *anything* are tedious.

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    To be honest, Thotas, they're not doing it to be mean. But chicks learn early on that "No" is a deafness-inducing word for most guys, and "Thank you, but I don't want to go out with you" is going to be followed up with a demand that we give three alternatives and show our work. Eventually (some...

    My condolences for you and your family, BOZ. May you all find peace.

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    Oh, the jerk method absolutely works. The problem is that it works by making you a jerk, and attracting the interest of girls who are insecure, needy and therefore attracted to jerks. (Also, the jerk method doesn't work for really nice guys, because it comes across as fakey. It works just great...

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    You know, having known a lot of successful jerks, I can't say I'd call the women they date 'beautiful'. Traditionally good-looking, I guess, in the sense that they spend a lot of time on their nails and diet and all that, but beautiful? Not really. The jerks do get to date a lot of needy...

    Dating someone older or younger- seriously.

    What pogre said--don't assume that because you heard somewhere that some state has a "Romeo and Juliet" law, that you're OK, or that 16 is probably old enough. Every state varies. And if you're a heterosexual couple, there's that little "contraceptive failure" issue to worry about, y'know? I...
