    [OT] John Wick is dead

    I just read that myself, Joshua. If this is a hoax, let me say I'm sorry for being needlessly alarmist...after all, we should all know better than to trust this sort of crap unconfirmed off the 'Net...and the :):):):)er who posted it had damn well better pray to every God, Goddess, and Demigod...

    [OT] John Wick is dead

    His wife posted the following to www.rpg.net today: "John was killed this afternoon in a car accident on the 110 in San Pedro. He had just finished his novel and was looking forward to doing freelance work in the game industry. If you didn't know him personally I want you to know his "online...

    Criticism of the ENnies at RPG.net

    I'm confused, Eric...don't you still hang out on Nutkinland from time to time? Oh, and I'd like to point out, just as a general statement, that this time, I had absolutely nothing to do with what's going on. Thanks. :)

    Two last comments on Sean's rant

    No, no...I don't care about his revised rant...I want to see the original one. And to my mind, the only place the language used should matter is in the stat block. One of the reasons the English language has synonyms is because constantly saying the same word over and over and over and over...

    Two last comments on Sean's rant

    Thanks, Rashak! I knew I wasn't the only one... And Someguy is right...it is a rabbit. Check out Sluggy Freelance to see where I ripped it off from. So, I'm guessing that nobody saved a copy of the origional rant? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure we'll get plenty of yuks from the revised one...

    High level 3e magic item purchasing... when does enough become too much?

    When is buying magic "too much?" Easy. If PCs can buy magic at all, it's too much.

    Two last comments on Sean's rant

    Eris damn it... I really need to start checking these boards more often. Again. Did anyone happen to save a copy of the unedited rant? I have some friends who would be interested in seeing it... :)

    GenCon Badges - with Name or not with Name, that's the Q.

    Well, I suppose I should be glad I decided to wait a day before doing anything...the badge came yesterday. Still late, though.

    The Coolest dice that are

    Dice made out of meteors? Kewl beans. Sadly, I won't be able to get to Origins. We really should have more meteors crash into the earth so they can mass produce these things. So Crystal Caste is making dice out of jade and star metal... Now, if only they'd produce sets made out of...

    GenCon Badges - with Name or not with Name, that's the Q.

    I was home from noon onward. No one stopped by, and there weren't any of those "We were here buy you weren't" things anywhere (well, UPS uses those if you need to sign for something, I would assume FedEx would too), so...

    GenCon Badges - with Name or not with Name, that's the Q.

    Well, according to the email I received, the badge was shipped by FedEx three-day. So assuming they shipped it on Tuesday, it should have been here yesterday. Marvelous. The annual frustration and stupidity starts six months early this year. Assuming I send CustServ an email today in...

    GenCon Badges - with Name or not with Name, that's the Q.

    Mixmaster, did the badge come via regular snail mail or one of the shipping companies? I seem to recall seeing something about Fedex on WotC's website whie I was registering... I honestly have to question the wisdom of sending them out this early, though...you just now that tons of people are...

    Is Gen Con worth going to?

    They seem to have taken them down, but I remember that they were nearer to the end of August (and thus the convention season, meaning that more rooms and suchlike will be available). Strange that they should wait until the convention moves to Indy to move the dates back, though...Of course, I'm...

    [Ad] Eden Needs Reviews! Will Give Product!

    No, I didn't. It was one of those Oh-I'll-Get-Around-to-It-One-of-These-Days things. (Me=20th level priest of Akrasia) And I agree that it's a hell of a book.

    1/26 -- Today in History

    Hey Eric, wasn't this also about the same time I got my first restraining order for sending threatening letters to Dancey? I still say that "paper trail" they produced linking me to the letters was totally fabricated...

    Symptoms of Lycanthropy?

    Hmmm...are you talking as a player or as a DM here? Anyway, a surefire sign of a D&D lycanthrope is that body parts begin showing up in unusual locations...your backpack, for instance.

    Games-Workshop

    Well, I don't play 40k...haven't had a chance yet...but I am building an army. I seem to be the only person on the planet who likes painting minis. And I don't really play D&D these days, so I can't answer that portion of your question. For me, D&D died the day Exalted came out...but then, it...

    Things you did NOT like about Fellowship of the Ring.

    The only thing I really disliked about FotR is that you just want to sit straight through the entire damn thing, requiring that you either: A) Put yourself through the kind of deprivation that would shame a pentient Buddhist monk 12-24 hours before you see it. or B) Posses a very, very strong...

    Invention rules

    Invention rules? Easy. If you want the player to be able to make the invention in question, they can, given enough time and resources. Otherwise, they can't.
