    [OT] Sleep Apnea, Limes, Folic Acid and Weight Loss

    There is no proof of this. It is explained in the Adkins book that this is not true. On exercise... if you go at it too hard when you are first starting out, you will learn to associate negative experiance to exercise. This will make you not exercise eventually. Ease into it, enjoy it...

    [OT] Sleep Apnea, Limes, Folic Acid and Weight Loss

    I lost over 70 lbs in about 10 months. I ate whatever I wanted, but tried to not go overboard. I went to the gym 5-6 times a week and either rode the stationary bike, treadmil, or the "eliptical" crosstrainer for cardio exercise. I started out at about 6 minutes of riding (all I could...

    Do you admit to being a gamer?

    Nope. I Never bring up gaming around non-gamers. At one time not too long ago, I was working a 2nd job as a bouncer in a bar. A few of my friends worked there as well, both gamers. One is like me, ("dont ask-dont tell") the other guy.... well... lets just say he has a low Wisdom score...

    Heroquest on Ebay/Where can I get Hard Plastic Minis?

    occassionally, people sell off thier heroquest minis by themselves. I dont know if they have incomplete or damaged books/gameboards that keep them from selling them as a set, but it does happen. I recently got 40 (yes... 40!!!) of the Skeletons with scythes (30 of them were painted, quite well...

    Good day, gentlemen. Has anyone noticed a striking change in Dragon magazine?

    People feel a need to have every article apply directly to thier game because that is what they are buying it for. I buy "Dragon" for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS content, nothing else. I'm not interested in any other game system, if I was I'd go read a magazine about that system. What would be...

    Do you think that it's alright for a DM to do this?

    I once had a player who enjoyed "silly character names". Over the course of our gaming together, his characters were: Tofu - Elven Thief Tora Muscle - Human Priest of Athena (Forgotten Realms campaign!?!?!) Colon Ampersand - Bard I simply changed his names to: Toufou (prounounced as Tofu)...

    Anyone got "Midnight: Crown of Shadow" yet?

    I just saw this new module in the stores (Midnight: Crown of Shadow"). Anyone picked this up yet? I couldnt find any reviews for this anywhere. Just wondering if it is any good, is it useable in a non-Midnight campaign, etc.
