Darklance, It sounds like the type of job you're looking for is what we call "Field Services" in our company. These are the guys that go around fixing the PCs, setting up new PCs, troubleshooting problems, and such things. Or perhaps a "Network Engineer". Those are the guys that I see...

Great session last night. There should be some good story hour content soon :) -Ryan

What I've always wondered is, do they use the English measurement system in the UK/Australia/foreign language versions of the core books? It would be funny if people all over Europe were wondering, what the @!#$#@ is a five foot step? :) -Ryan

Referring specifically to last night's match, everything you saw on TV was fake. Shawn Michaels really does have a broken back, however. -Ryan

I think level drain is retarded, and I say that not just because it recently happened to my character. Not only does the paperwork really suck (I don't remember what I spent my skill points on last time I leveled), but it simply doesn't make sense in-game. "Hmm, I could do ability X yesterday...

Maybe I'm a wierdo, but a character with all 18s doesn't sound super-powerful to me. At lower levels, maybe, but the advantage wouldn't be so great as levels are gained. Could be this morning's dose of crack rock talking, though. -Ryan

Zoltan is a walking death machine. IIRC, he can fire 9 shots per round, each shot dealing 4D10 damage. Orendil, on the other hand, just can't end his streak of bad luck. At some point, a critical failure caused his assault blaster to break, and then came the energy drain fiasco that you'll...

Re: Re: Attention Passengers: Seems to me the real advantage of the 401(k) is that the money you put in, as well as any capital gains from your investments, is tax-deferred. All that money you would have paid in income taxes and capital gains taxes is invested instead, allowing you to earn...

#!@!@#$$ WILD MAGIC!

Manny, you are the killer of threads. -Ryan

No kidding. Those first-person "Drizzt Diary" sections that Salvatore started putting in the books like Starless Night are just plain vomit-inducing. But I suppose I kind of liked them when I was a teenager, which just about sums up Drizzt's appeal.

Just thought I would chime in here and say hello. I play Orendil, the bungling elf. He falls off tanks, he falls out of windows, he fails every move silently check...I even shot Milo in the back (though I was playing Zoltan at the time). Errr...hello!

You're kidding? Someone actually tried it? I thought I was making a clever reference to the human race.

Interesting. Why is the Monkey Concept so hard to accept? If I write a program which randomly produces digits, it will most likely produce the first five decimal places of pi in a reasonably short time. There's no guarantee that the monkeys would produce War and Peace even given infinite...

Sounds like the so-called "sleep paralysis". It's a normal psychological occurrence, though it can be frightening. It used to happen to me quite often.

Yes to the first question. No to the second, but my entire immediate family would say yes.

SSSHH! I'm trying to evoke sympathy! But seriously...yes, we have several game stores, but for some reason I've always had trouble finding a good D&D game.

Help! I'm dying of boredom in New Orleans! Please let me join your game!
