    [Utterly OT but funny] Axis of Just as Evil

    And I always thought Little Bush reminded me of Afred E Newman but I heard the other day that on a list headed up by George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and the like, Bush landed the 10 of most attractive men. The world is just weird. On a side note, did anyone see Ralph Nader doing the...

    Can good characters let evil characters die?

    Well in your burglary example above, I don't think it's necessarily an evil act. Is the homeowner so enraged because he or his family were threatened? That's not evil, that's animal. Or to bring matters closer to that of the game starting this thread: What if after subduing the robbers you...

    River travel.

    Most ocean vessels will not go very far along on a river because they need to draw too much water. Most ships made for travelling the ocean had to be relatively large because the construction had to withstand pounding surf, storms and such. Sails made travelling by sea possible but having a...

    The English Language

    I once had an English prof, from England btw, who insisted on pronouncing JRR Tolkien as TOLL-KEEN. My friends and I got him to stop by mangling every other authors' last names. What an annoying semester that was!

    Can good characters let evil characters die?

    Generally the games I play have eliminated the use of alignment though we still use it to describe characters -- its an attribute like what weapon a fighter is most likely to use. Doesn't mean a whole lot and it doesn't mean the fighter will never pick up another weapon, learn to use other...

    [OT] Best music to listen to when depressed

    Great music listed here all around but you want to get out of a blue mood, listen to songs you've known since birth. For me it's the Beatles. Van Morrison is good too. You want to ride the mood, go jazz, like Coltrane or maybe settle in for some deep meloncholia with Leonard Cohen.

    Even the Gilmore Girls don't like D&D....

    This thing is really kinda getting to me. Maybe what's needed IS some type of petition attached to a well-written letter with signatures and not user names. Is it so impossible to do something like that here? In a week we could respond to something like the Gilmore Girls, send it to the...

    Even the Gilmore Girls don't like D&D....

    No offense all, but I am not a geek. And the fact that I play D&D doesn't make me one nor any of the guys I play with. Only one of which I might qualify as being somewhat geeky. And now that he's 31 and about to move out of his parents' house maybe he'll recover from geekiness. Most of the...

    [OT] News of sequel to Laura Reznick's IN LEGEND BORN

    Thought I'd pass the following along to anyone who's read this book. I finished it the other day (liking it quite a bit) thinking it was a complete story only to realize at the end it had more to go. I was a little annoyed to find out that although the book came out sometime in 1998, the...

    The Bible--Wars, Culture, Faith, and Inspiration

    It's been awhile since my last DMing experience and my Bible reading is a lot rustier but what's not to like for stealing for campaign use. Old Testament is my preference; like plagues of locusts, Job for my favorite paladin, peoples wandering for years searching for a place to call home, blood...

    Wheel of Time [possible spoilers]

    Sorry but those of us who bought the hardcovers also have that right. We care because we invested ourselves into reading however many books and pages we did hoping the series would someday meet our expectations -- of an ending! I used to wait to find out when the next volume would come out and...

    PA police boycott YMCA over pro-Harry Potter stance

    Most of my exes must be running things there... What I find really interesting about all the anti-Potter stuff lately is all of the crazy belief in witchcraft and sorcery being a real thing to fear. Maybe Tom Hanks could make a new movie where instead of a D&D group, he joins an extremist...

    [OT] Any opinions Terry Goodkind's SWORD of TRUTH series??

    I recently came across the latest book in The Sword of Truth series (Pillars of something or other) and read a few pages before realizing it was the latest in a long series. I was wondering if anyone can recommend for or against reading the books. Also can anyone can tell me if the series...
