    Darn it all, he got me

    What if Chewbacca kills Jar Jar? Killing a senator (or what the hell ever Jar Jar was in the second movie) gets him sent to those salt mines or whatever until he gets rescued by Han Solo, yet marks him as a true hero. Ahh. . . the circle is complete. And I saw an Episode III trailer on TV...

    Drunkenness Table

    A recent game session featured "Drinking Day" -- a festival where the local brewers and vinters set up shop in the town square to offer their new brews. My character (Jacob), a fairly insecure 16 year old wizard prodigy, got pretty drunk. To determine his state at any given momement of...

    Darn it all, he got me

    I'm with you, Mouseferatu. I promised myself I would not get overly excited about the thrid film, yet find myself getting moreso with each passing day. I have managed to remain spoiler free, which will only help me enjoy the movie more (I hope). I'm not going to any midnight showing, but will...

    Grim Tales + Black Company = Big Fun!

    Well, I hope I didn't accidentally add Maxian's armor bonus into his MDT as well. :o If I did it right, his MDT should have been 22 (4 (level) + 14 CON + 1 shield +3 (improved damage threshold)). And it availed him naught against the giant scorpion and its + A LOT grapple check. :)

    Started working out and...

    If your main goal is loosing weight, then activities that burn lots of calories (high intensity cardio) should be your primary focus. Interval cardio training (short busts of very high intensity followed by a few minutes of lower intensity) is very good at burning fat. JoeGKushner is right...

    Grim Tales + Black Company = Big Fun!

    Reading the Grim Tales book and playing in Old One's game day game has made me a GT convert. I ordered the book yesterday. I had a great time and loved the rules set, even if it did take some getting used to. I was the one confused about the whole lethal vs. nonlethal damage thing but that...

    I had a beer with Laurence Ferlinghetti last night!

    That's very cool. I went to City Lights on my first trip to San Francisco in March. It was just cool to be in a place where American literary histtory happened.

    Give me snapshots of New Orleans

    I forgot about Lucky Dogs! Both great and disgusting all at the same time. Street vendors for these things everywhere. On a college trip, a friend ate 13 in one evening. Lucky Dogs + Hand Grenades = Uggghhh. . .

    Taking a hike

    Happy Anniversary! (and, you could always LARP while in the woods. OD&D may not translate well, though). :)

    Give me snapshots of New Orleans

    My next post was going to be about city park. Vast and a little overgrown in places. I was told do not go there at night under any circumstances. The girl I was seeing and I went there one afternoon. God, it was hot (June). My girlfriend and I found some shady, way out of the way spot and...

    Give me snapshots of New Orleans

    I-10 West out of town Your car makes a regular "ka-thump" as it passes over the section breaks in the interstate. The highway itself sits almost at treetop level. Below it is bayou. You drive like this for hours, over swamp. Exit ramps lead to islands and two lane roads that go God knows...

    NC Game Day VII - April 23!

    Awww. . . I'm blushing. :o And Tiberious, I'd be happy to help set up/play in whatever game you are thinking about putting together. I loved the Sky Galleons setting, too. I'll be in Rock Hill starting in mid-July, but probably won't really be settled in and ready to game until August or so...

    Give me snapshots of New Orleans

    Nawlins I've spent considerable time in New Orleans (or Nawlins, as some locals say). I used to date a girl who lived just outside the city. I'll share some images, memories, and impressions that may be useful for your game. Dawn at Cafe Du Monde: As you walk through the Quarter, the smell...

    What Would You Screen at Cine Barsoom?

    Unfortunately, I did not win the 206 million dollar MegaMillions jackpot. Otherwise, CineBarsoom would have had it's principal investor sown up. I went to an indie/art theatre in Asheville, North Carolina that had something like this going on. It had a bar, so you could get a beer to drink...
