I remember those, Torm...Ah, alas for the age that is past, for the wonders of't shall never be seen again... :(

In the middle of Sailor on the Seas of Fate after finishing Elric of Melnibone. Good stuff, although the Four-In-One was kinda off-putting in that I thought it (and Agak and Gagak) was silly.

Herr's makes 'em. I get mine at the local Farm Fresh or a...I don't remember if it's Blimpie's or Zero's, but I suspect the latter.

Yeah, that's a pretty cool series :cool: EDIT: One of these days, I'm putting a magician in a campaign with the Glass Cat as a familiar. I love that little beastie!

The character I want to play if I ever get a chance is a bard with the Wild Cohort and Summon Familiar feats, both ravens. A one-eyed bard/fighter, with a floppy hat and a staff.

Dill Pickle chips or Salt and Vinegar chips. Steak and Worcestershire Chips are yummy, too :) Grapes, sandwiches (yeah, sometimes a snack food). Hoagie rolls (good by themselves or with a bit of cheese). Lately I've been slicing sandwiches into strips and dipping them. Yummy!

Eh...I guess so. Probably closer than anything else.

Ooooh...do you mean the Maiden song Quest for Fire? About the caveman tribe fighting dinosaurs and cannibals while looking for fire? Awesome :cool:

Ya, when I heard that he'd done LotR just to get to King Kong, I thought, "Oh, that explains it." He still did a good job and I really enjoyed the movies, though.

Next time I play straight D&D, I'm going to use the Pious Templar class for paladins.

Gandalf is an angelic creature, a Maia from Valar :cool: But you don't get that unless you get into the Silmarillion. Here's a link I love Wikipedia :)

I haven't seen the movie, but I'm curious where those two 1s came from...

I was mostly thinking about the lack of moving parts, the vastly greater rate of fire, and the easier variable-magazines.

Alright, I think that post kinda cleared your position up for me, Dremmen. You're down on people using D&D for a miniatures combat game with no plot or characterization, where you might think up a name for your character and maybe make a sketchy map of the area if you're feeling really into it...

Heh. Heheheheheh. Heh.

I don't know...

Oooh, I've wanted to try Knightmare Chess for a good long while. One of these days... On of my childhood memories is breaking the knights in my dad's metal chess set :(

This is exactly it. Narrative style play is a good and fine thing, and it can be a welcome and refreshing change from hack'n'slash-but that's what it is, a nice change that can hopefully revitalize someone's flagging interest; it's a change to a different style, not an evolution to a better...

Yeah, I see you on the allegory thing, but that West Side idea is just ridiculous. Bah, humans are too good at seeing what they want to see.

Nobody, I was talking about the author of the article I was talking about :) I'm just saying that his foolishness poisoned the school of thought he was coming from for me, and recognizing that it might have skewed my perspective.
