    [June] What Are You Reading?

    Finished "Area 51" (kinda fun) and now I'm reading "Over the Edge of the World: Magellan's Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe" Man, is this book wonderful. Just fascinating, and even more so because it really happened. Loving it.

    GAME OF THRONES #10:Valar Morghulis ACT 20 Chapter 2-2012 *Season Ending*

    Eeehhhhh.... I don't necessarily disagree with any of the points you make, but I consider it very insignificant. I'm SO grateful we have an amazing adaption (little tiny discrepancies and all) from HBO of our beloved books. Can't wait for season 3. NOTE: I also kinda think it's cool that...

    [May] What are you reading?

    Now I'm on to Area 51. It's fun. AND it was only $2.99 on Amazon for Kindle. Basically, it takes every Alien Conspiracy theory ever, throws 'em in a bowl, mixes it all up and adds a story line. Fun, fun, fun!

    [May] What are you reading?

    (Not too much of a joke!) Since reading the Steve Jobs biography, I've stumbled across another wonderful book called "Insanely Simple: The Secret to Apple's Success" and I enjoyed that even more than the Job's bio. It's awesome for anybody that runs a business. Great, great, great, great...

    [May] What are you reading?

    "Obama's Wars" by Bob Woodward. Fascinating, and yet sobering and somewhat depressing. Just finished the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson. LOVED that.

    Kindle or iPad 3?

    What's your point? That Apple made a dumb business decision? Okay, again: You win. Nobody said they were infallible or always make the right decisions. I just think their products are a joy to use.

    Kindle or iPad 3?

    Hahahaha -you took ONE process (the easiest thing to do on either device) and held that up as your example? If that's your measuring stick, then OK, fair enough, you win. The user experience is much more then starting your App, however. It's connecting to your PC. It's DL'ing Apps. It's...

    Kindle or iPad 3?

    I'm a big time recommender of the iPad. I have a first gen iPad and it's the greatest thing I've ever bought. SO many different uses and Aps, it's wonderful. And if you travel - there's NO better travel tool to me. I use it EVERY day. If I lost it today, I would buy a new one tomorrow. I...

    Electricity Damage In Real World Terms

    Ugh, these are the kinds of conversations I hate in relation to D&D. Especially, when they're brought out at the table. This s&%$t can grind a session to a halt faster than.... well, greased lightning. Nothing against the OP though, I completely understand it's my prerogative to simply not...

    Ships?

    My advice: Do NOT get into running ship-to-ship sea battles. Just do a Narrative as DM ("The ships trade fire as they close and the splinters fly as the ships crash together!! Initiative!") until the ships meet, then run standard combat. I ran a long pirate campaign in 3.5 that was an...

    WWII: What should my RPG setting be?

    Sounds like a very cool module, and certainly a fun game. My question (not having seen the module), is: "If these Aliens are so smart to have been able to conduct Space Travel and reach Earth, why would they care about our affairs here, and want to intervene? And if so - why secretly? Not...

    WWII: What should my RPG setting be?

    Let's not overlook the fact that the American GI was just a better soldier. Smarter, a better shot, more resourceful and braver. :p (Chairman crawls in, pulls the pin with his teeth, and tosses the grenade over!)

    Would you quit a game if....

    Screw that - just play the game. If his PC dies, he quits. It doesn't really matter, cause his PC's dead anyway.
