    Eye Surgery: Myths and Legends?

    I had LASIK back in October of 2002 and have absolutely loved it. The only part of the procedure that was freaky was when they cut the flap, it kinda sounds like a radial arm saw. But since they give you a valium prior to going back it didn't really seem to bother me too much. ;) The only...

    What do you look for in a D&D/RPG web site?

    I know when I'm surfing the net looking for D&D goodies, I typically end up seeking adventures, scenarios, or hooks I can use in my own game. This got me to thinking. What do you, humble ENWorlder's, seek when you are searching the web (D&D and RPG-related only)?

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    Oh, one more. Once in a 1ed game many years ago. My high level wizard was separated from the party as they were assaulting a temple to Orcus. No sweat, I'll just teleport in. Small problem, I teleported in low. Carrying a staff of power. And a staff of the magi. One MASSIVE retributive...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    Party is playing "The Matchmakers" from an oooooold Dungeon magazine. Anyway, they decide the best way to get the soon-to-be-married-to-the-old-guy maiden away from her family and joined with her true beloved is to sneak into the manor house at night and spirit her away. They put together a...

    Score! Awesome deal at Hastings.

    Not sure if all Hastings stores have the same inventory issues, but the one in Greenville, TX has all of their d20 Ravenloft and Gamma World at insane prices. The sticker on each item shows $7.99, but they ring them up at $5.59. I picked up the Ravenloft PH, DMG, Denizens of Dread, and the...

    RPGs & the Armed Forces - a liability?

    While I don't think RPGs make anyone a better or worse serviceman/woman, in my own experience, it sure made map-reading a heck of a lot easier. Any potential for it to aid in strategy would probably only benefit those of the higher ranks instead of those at the low end of the totem pole as...

    Xmas Gaming Swag!

    I was fortunate enough that my daughters got me a couple of mini booster sets. Also, my 6-year-old decided dad needed a set of frosted pink dice. :lol: I hope 2006 is better than 2005 for everyone!

    Rockwall, Rowlette, Mesquite - D&D Game

    Now that I've secured a place to live in Rockwall (man house hunting with children sucks!) I'm looking for a group that could use a player or perhaps a DM. Please tell me there are some gamers out here! Also, any good FLGS in the area?

    FLGS in Las Vegas?

    I was stationed at Nellis AFB about 8 years ago so had a chance to discover some nice game stores. Unfortunately, since it has been 8 years, I can't remember the names or the exact locations of either of the two I frequented. I recall one was near UNLV on Tropicana(?). Just east of campus (a...

    Amusing recent auto-correction...

    I was deployed to Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina back in 1998. One of the other major cities in the region was called Mostar, however, MS Word always corrected it to "Moister".

    FLGS in NE Dallas Metro

    I've just relocated to the McKinney, TX area and am looking for a good game store. I've honestly been spoiled by Game HQ in OKC and hope to find something that at least approaches their quality, selection, and service. Oh, and if anyone has a game in this area, I'd love the opportunity to sit...

    Moving to Greenville/McKinney Area

    Good afternoon, Now that my job search has ended (thanks to everyone who offered suggestions/encouragement on my post in "Off Topic") I find myself with an offer to work in Greenville, Texas. That being said, is there anyone in that area that might have room for a player/occasional DM? My...

    Looking for a New Job

    Bump-a-lump. Still looking. Not desperate, yet. The wife is on the leading edge of frazzle, but nothing to worry about yet. If I had my way, I'd end up in one of the following locations: Oklahoma: OKC, Bartlesville, Tulsa Missouri: St Louis, Kansas City, Joplin, Springfield Texas...

    Looking for a New Job

    I've thought about airport management. I guess the smell of jet fuel will always be a bit of an aphrodisiac for me. :lol: I'm with you on the video production front, Charlemagne. I enjoyed my time in Little Rock, but making minimum wage as the Chief Editor at the #1 station in the market...

    Looking for a New Job

    Let me first say, thanks for the responses so far. My post on one of my pocketpc forums has generated ZERO response. Oh well. As for living in DC? Not just no, no way. :) Beyond the fact that I'd have to commute WAAAAY to long, I'd rather stay in the Central Time Zone so Monday Night...

    Hello all. I am going to be leaving the United States Air Force this fall and am currently on the lookout for something new to pay the bills. Does anyone know of any company looking to possibly hire a Captain in the Communications career field with a Top Secret (SCI) clearance? Ideally I'd...

    Level Diffs in Comp. Adv. and other Sources

    I recently picked up Complete Adventurer and noticed that some of the spells within do not jive with the levels given in other sources. The spells that leaped out at me (and there may be more) are: Cacophonic Shield Easy Climb Easy Trail Embrace the Wild Forestfold In Complete Divine and...
