    Abandoned: World Building

    The map seems a bit incomplete, but I suppose you just scanned the one page? I figured I came from Stonegard. But I'll bite as to where we're starting. So, where are we starting?

    Tell me a little about yourself...

    I have yet to name my character, but let me throw down what I've got at the moment. Born into the martial caste, he was groomed early for military service. Having a knack for reconnaissance, he was assigned to a scout battalion, where he served in various conflicts with the giants. He's...

    Your Favorite War Movies...

    Most of my faves have been listed already, but I'll do it again: Patton Black Hawk Down We Were Soldiers (Moore was an LTC, not a COL, commanding a battalion, not a brigade) [Speaking of nitpicking...] :lol: Memphis Belle--"Somebody's guts are all over the nose!" The Longest Day Tora! Tora...

    Your Humor Style Quiz

    The Wit 52% dark, 30% spontaneous, 31% vulgar You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake...

    Favorite Snacks?

    Too many. I'm also happy to know I'm not the only one that enjoys eating marshmallows. Others include: Just plain regular potato chips, especially with ranch dip. Gummy worms (which I love!), Gummy bears (especially Gold baeren, but I haven't seen those round here), spearmint leaf...

    Favorite Christmas Music?

    For me it's not Christmas without Mannheim Steamroller. Those Christmas albums have been a critical part of my Christmas since I was a small child. It's an associative thing. This year Christmas officially began when I heard an MS track while waiting for Narnia to start with Queen D and The...

    Do you wear a watch?

    I wear a watch every day. Like one of the posters above, I feel its part of my work wear these days, as it's a nice watch my girlfriend got me for my birthday. I lost my previous watch and it bothered for months until I got the new one. I guess it's sorta OCD at this point. :p I tend to not...

    Quirky Food Habits

    When I was a young lad, my dad regaled me with tales of people who would eat pigs feet, sheep's brain and other such delicacies. While he admitted that his mother had served him sheep's brain on occasion, I had thought the enjoyment of pigs feet to be a myth, like Achilles or South Dakota. I...

    Quirky Food Habits

    I think that's a badge of honor 'round these parts... :lol:

    Dream Campaign?

    I have dozens of campaigns I'd love to play in or run at any one time, but some of my consistent favorites are: Shadowrun: My favorite system, but I never get to run it. I have an idea for a political-ish campaign set in DeeCee that I need to flesh out (once I get my head around 4E). D&D: I...

    Amazing Christmas Light Display

    This is America, land of year round Christmas specialty shops and Christmas television specials in late October. Christmas comes early and often! ;) (Okay, some exaggeration...but not much.)

    Amazing Christmas Light Display

    Wow. Just wow... I've seen some extravagant light displays, but I think that one takes the cake...

    Movies which surprised you.

    Huh. I've only seen the other one, but that's definitely a cool ending. I love The Prisoner. It's one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Hard for me to add much more, as all the big ones I've seen have been mentioned...those being: Serenity Citizen Kane (good call Joker!) Twelve Monkeys...

    How much do you plan your characters?

    I picked 1-5, though I really fall at the low end of that scale. Ultimately, like many here, it depends on the character and the concept. If I have a strong concept (such as my Russian Cavalryman in the Sidewinder: Recoiled/d20M game I'm playing in now), I'll look at PRCs and feats 1 or 2...

    I survived my thesis defense! w00t!

    Congrats, Shemeska! I can only imagine the pain and suffering that required. And gloat that my own MA program had no thesis requirement... :D Yeah, yeah, I'll pay for it when I go for the PhD down the line... But seriously, that's quite the achievement. Celebrate it. :cool:

    Salmon flavored soda

    Don't brag now. :p I like their Cream Soda, as well. That and Vanilla Bean frappes are about all Starbucks is good to me for.

    Quirky Food Habits

    My best friend does that. Only without the smashing really. He puts them on like you would pickles or lettuce. He also considers Ranch dressing a condiment, like ketchup or mustard. And yes, he puts it on his burgers, on occasion. I blame his Alberta roots, but he's gotten my other two best...

    Any female game masters?

    Haven't had too much experience with female GMs, though I have had the opportunity to play in one of the illustrious Queen D's one shots. My only other experience was with a friend of mine in college, who was a fantastic storyteller. She could set a scene, develop a mood, and just plain creep...
