    Who is your favorite poet(s) and why?

    You are in fact remembering Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken, not Whitman. The greatest poet in English is Shakespeare. No question. Hands down. He is smarter, more compassionate, more angry and funnier than anyone else. He frightens me at times, his intellect so overpowering. We're in the...

    Dead Man's Chest -- Spooky Pirate Fun -- COMPLETE! Nov 3/06

    Yeah, that was a great moment. Quinn had failed his Will Save against Zipakna's uber charm power, and then when she contacted him telepathically and asked him to come visit her, he failed another save. And it played out much like it did above -- it wasn't until after he was gone on his way that...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Sorcerer on Black Dragon shipping news

    Mine's still marked as "Ready To Ship". Just as it has for the past three weeks. Obviously Paizo uses a different definition of "ready" than I do. :D I contacted their customer service and they said, "It's only sort of ready." Sigh.

    Charles Stross on Gary Gygax as World Dictator

    Stross is a lot of clever.

    Dead Man's Chest -- Spooky Pirate Fun -- COMPLETE! Nov 3/06

    Drums pounded. Voices howled. The night, sweltering and sweaty, rang with dark echoes and the rhythmic thunder of the slaves in their frenzied worship. Black watched the goings-on with curiousity and some measure of alarm. Not the most devout Christian ever, he was nonetheless disturbed by the...

    Precautions in binding a succubus

    I say if your biggest problem in life is how to ensure your succubus is thoroughly bound, you don't get to complain. :D

    D&D with a twist

    Barsoom didn't have clerics or any divine magic, and that became a problem. I solved that by having a significant artifact that they needed throughout the campaign be capable of providing some healing. And psions can do healing via Empathic Transfer and Body Adjustment, I think. But I would...

    Is prep time "gaming?"

    Well, Morte, I don't play Traveller, and I'm not about to duplicate the immense amount of work the PCGen team have already done. Except that I DID provide a pretty easy way to store, copy and paste statblocks, which, if you already have your non-SRD monster stat block in text form, can easily...

    Is prep time "gaming?"

    What sorts of products would save prep time for you?

    Is prep time "gaming?"

    To be honest, I try NOT to be too specific in my definitions -- that way lies madness. And endless semantic arguments. I can accept either definition of "gaming". You can consider gaming as analogous to watching a play, or you can consider gaming as analogous to putting on a play -- the...

    Awesome Birthday Present

    You are correct, TB, the Brickhouse it is. And yes, some of the ladies will likely be there. Their schedules are always tough to work out ahead of time -- the only gaming group I've had who sometimes have to cancel because they're unexpectedly in Tokyo. And I meant it when I said all ENWorlders...

    Is prep time "gaming?"

    Is there any way in which this question is not simply semantic? I don't understand. I mean, I can define "gaming" as "any and all things related to the playing of role-playing games, including prep time", or I can define "gaming" as "sitting at a table with my buddies, playing a game". Who...

    D&D with a twist

    Hey, J-Dawg, guess what? I like. But you already knew that. :D And um, no, I don't see anything wrong with yoinking all the magic-using classes. But again, you already knew that. I really like CoC d20's magic system. But again, oh never mind.

    They were really freaked out. And when they asked, and actually got the information they wanted, it freaked them out even more. Heh.

    Awesome Birthday Present

    My birthday is coming up. Mrs. Barsoom has asked me to invite whoever I want to invite to a local bar for the evening, a character-ridden drinking hole we've been known to haunt. At this bar she has arranged for a screening on their great big projection wall-screen (with theatre sound) of The...

    Rate Tact-Tiles

    My players got together and bought me a set when my Barsoom campaign finished up. Awesome. I don't use minis that much, but these things kick butt. Super useful in all kinds of ways.
