    Y'know, I can't help but wonder if theres an opposite to that. A hot girl who likes to RP creepy guys.

    With which race do you identify?

    Among the core races, I'd go with dwarf. I've got the build, if not the height. I've got a beard and I enjoy a beer. Furthermore I'm Swedish, and as a scandinavian I am obligated by law to identify with anyone who brandishes a battle axe and wears a horned helmet. By the by, why include human...

    Text and the Toddler

    I wish I could remember more about his books, but I recall reading quite a few stories by John Bellairs while I was around 8-9 years old. I can also recall reading The Hobbit and The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe. Mom is a librarian and I feel I've always been a bit bookish. I'm not sure if...

    New "What sort of RPG player are you?" poll (this one by Charles Ryan)

    Nifty, lots of folks appear to be getting character player. I think I'd actually put myself in taht category. The last time I took that test I got tactician on top and storyteller underneath. I seem to recall a lot of people in my WLD group getting something similar. Does anyone else have the...

    I can be silent no more.

    Just thought I would add that, ultimately, losing weight shouldn't really be a persons goal. The goal should be to live healthier. The numbers on a scale can be a big downer sometimes and my not exactly reflect whats going on with your body. I haven't weighed myself in the three or four months...

    The Laws of the Dungeon

    Actually I think it's the water. The water in your average dungeon is so healthy that theres hundreds of little whiskery things living in it. ANything that full of life has to be healthy right?

    What kinda weather you love........>>>>

    Thirded. I'm biased because I'm a human furnace. I tend not to wear a coat until it gets into the 50's. Autumn is nice because it's cool but you probably won't die if you stay outdoors for a while. I like winter too. I really enjoy, huge, violent thunderstorms and have a bad tendency to go...

    I can be silent no more.

    My fathers side of the family were all fairly fat. The relatives on my moms side are all pretty wiry. I basically have a body that responds well to excercise but absolutely refuses to give up its protective layer of flab. I'm 5'9 and the last time I weighted myself I was 240 lbs. Basically I...

    [Creative Exercise] Worlds in a word, planes in a paragraph

    Shimau What tragedy struck here is unknown. The civilizations here have collapsed, sometime within the last century by the look of things. Stay away from the cities, those people and animals that remain have become insane and feral. Animals... come to think it there don't seem to be any left...

    [Creative Exercise] Worlds in a word, planes in a paragraph

    The Rail An enormous, multiplanar Lightning Rail and home to several small civilizations. The cars are generally about (in feet) 40W x 100L x 30H but some are larger or smaller. The rail seems to have a set course but it is so enormous that it is often on multiple planes at once. Sages theorize...

    [Creative Exercise] Worlds in a word, planes in a paragraph

    Grinth Three words: Giant crazed sheep. The vast, unending grasslands of Grinth contain large herds of 18-27 ft tall sheep. More advanced groups of giants (storm giants etc) often visit here, as the sight of all that meat and wool in one place is enticing. One problem; why, in the presence of...

    Dawn of the Dead in DnD?

    Theres the Mob template from the DMG2. A huge swarm of zombies would definitely feel appropriate.

    Providence, Rhode Island Gameday -- Nov 11

    I had a great time yesterday, so much so that I slept for 12 hours after the event. :) Thanks to Qualidar, Yttrai and Piratecat for giving me a ride and thanks to Carlzog for hosting. I'm looking forward to the next one.

    OKay, the first batch of cookies is out of the oven and.... Well, I haven't baked in about three years or so and I realized shortly prior to starting that we don't have an electric mixer here. Everythings been done by hand and I'm a bit worried about the results. Well, off to try one. I may or...

    Providence, Rhode Island Gameday -- Nov 11

    Qual, I sent out the directions again. If all else fails you can Mapquest directions to the Dunkin Donuts at 49 Chauncy St. in Mansfield. Yttrai, nice viking outfit. I actually dressed as a viking for my sisters Halloween party last year. Most of the costume didn't survive the night but I wore...

    Well it was either that or dress up like a viking. I find it's easy to get a seat alone on the "T" when you're wearing a horned helmet. Hey, at least it's not a loin cloth. :)

    Okay, I sent directions to Yttrai. Odds are I'll be easy enough to spot but if not look for a blond bearded guy with a toaster on his shirt.

    The mid-lifer schedule crunch

    I dunno, the WLD group I'm in meet over Openrpg once a week. I think there are some advantages to online gaming. I find it easier to keep in character for instance. Of course, I've never exactly played real table-top. My other group, using Rolemaster and playing with Middle Earth as a setting...

    Yttrai, do you still have room for one more? My original plan was to take the train but if you're passing by and still have a seat available that'd be better. I live close to where I-495 intersects with I-95. If you'll be passing by that spot I can email you some directions.
