I send about 5,000 texts a month and I never use T9 or predictive text. I like typing everything out and I type faster than my phone can keep up with anyway. Everytime I try T9 it slows me down and I have to fix words. I sometimes use a friend's phone that has it turned on and I just can't...

I'm not sure if anyone missed me or even noticed my prolonged absence, but I have returned. I won't say that things are going stunningly well, or even well at all, but I the time is right to return and maybe even to start gaming again soon. Due to some life issues, which are ongoing at this...

I've been listening to Jack's Mannequin and, since I went to their show, Copeland. I've also been hooked on Rent (saw it 3rd row in September) and The Producers.

I second the recommendations for the original WotC "adventure path" modules for 3.0, the Atlas Games adventures "In the Belly of the Beast" and "Thieves in the Forest" and "Dungeon". I also would like to recommend Necromancer Games' "Crucible of Freya" and Troll Lord Games' "The Mortality of...

I'm wearing my Bone Daddy shirt right now for Halloween with Jack's picture on it. My marching band (I'm a band director) did The Nightmare Before Christmas for our marching show this year. DM

I've had my 30GB ipod video for almost 3 weeks. I have already managed to store about 3000 songs, several short videos, a concert video and 3 full length movies. I invested in a better set of headphones, a Belkin FM transmitter for the car and PQ DVD to rip my DVD's to the ipod. I use the pod...

I teach instrumental music (band) at a high school. I have been teaching for 13 years, the last 7 at the same school. DM

Everyone knows that the best superhero movie ever is Mystery Men. DM

In early 2005, I was named to my school district's Top 10 Teachers of the Year (late 2004 was named my school's Teacher of the Year for 2005). Spring '05 my gaming group imploded (Eric, I feel your pain) and I quit DM and playing at all for 6 weeks. Then I decided to form a new group and take...

Strangest minis we have ever used? HOMIES DM

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with this. There is never enough time to spend with your grandparents and, as you and they age, your parents. I went to my parents' house this morning and cooked sausage/cheese balls with my Dad... went out to breakfast, watched Peoples' Court, etc. Not my usual choice...

What about Grooge? No, Scrinch is better. Seriously, it sounds like some of the Christmas days we have had. Better to cancel. It may offend people, but the alternative may cost thousands of dollars in counseling. You did the right thing if it gives you peace of mind. DM

My thoughts and prayers are with his family. DM

I ran this adventure when it came out and it was very enjoyable for my group. That said, it was VERY lethal. The party's main tanks were killed by traps while descending the tower. The final battle was just ugly. To avoid the repetitiveness of the adventure, get creative. My group didn't...

I believe that in the Netherlands, there is a figure known as Zwarte Piet who traditionally carried a whip or switch to beat naughty children. He also carried a bag to take bad children to Spain. DM

I have just finished Ken Hite's excellent Nightmares of Mine guide to horror gaming and am now reading A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara Tuchmann. It is a great read thus far. DM

There is no supbstitution for communication between the players and the DM. If that does not exist, then there is no hope for the game. Don't be adversarial. Don't be accusatory. Just try to open a dialogue about the direction of the game. If you are really friends, hopefully you can work...

I am a few chapters in and this book is actually VERY well written and not in a dry, historical account sort of way either. It is an entertaining read. Thanks a LOT for the recommendation!!! DM

This angers me. I could say a few things that would be VERY unfriendly to Eric's dear old grandmother after reading that. DM

The Last Christmas Have a Merry Last Christmas! DM
