    Silver Spring, MD established group needs 2 players

    Dang. Wednesday nights, eh? Too bad. I'm usually too catatonic after work to even consider gaming on a weeknight.

    MD-VA-DC Game Day - 10/2/04: Crunch Time Approaches - Volunteers Needed!

    Hell hath frozen over... Hmm...College Park, eh? There's a more than reasonable chance that I'd attend. I'm only a few Beltway exits from UMD and the concept of not having to pay for lodging nor a lengthy hike to and fro makes it that much more appealing. Does anyone have confirmed slots...

    Two battle modes derived from my character (and namesake) Dieter, the Punisher-esque superspy. Stealthy: Approach the bad guys trying not to make noise, but ultimately blowing everything to hell in a blaze of gunfire and explosives. Sneaky: Same as Stealthy, minus the "trying not to make...

    A while back I posted my party's gaming proverbs. Here it is again for posterity. 1- Don't flash money 2- Don't believe or trust the waitors 3- Don't do KYO or Kumitei 4- Look before you drink 5- Look before you sit down 6- Don't hum along with Demons 7- Don't buy insurance from the duck...

    AMOK! AMOK! AMOK! The phrase used when the toilet humor (or the current situation in general) just went waaaay too far. It was a good segue to get things back on track.

    In college, the "not here" excuse usually was. "Affairs of state take precedence over affairs of state." :p

    When is it time to move on?

    Part amicably with the understanding that while you don't agree on this particular setting, that you'd be willing to game again at such a time when both parties agree to the setting. But first, try the game out and possibly seek out other potential games before officially parting. You could...

    We have this running joke of things "appearing" to be in some sort of state. This status usually comes after a questionable die roll made for unlocking a door or find/removing a trap. "You appear to have removed the trap." "You appear to have unlocked the door." "There appears to be no trap on...

    (Way OT) How bad is the heat wave in Europe?

    There's something to be said about the logic of the American founding fathers. Why on earth would they build the nation's capital over a mosquito infested swamp? Current temp at 3pm EST is 84F/28C, feels like: 95F/35C Humidity: 71% Outside I feel your pain...but at least we have abundant...

    Tallarn's GenConUK Report! (now with photo link)

    I had an Australian (Melbourne I think) friend in college. He would have taken offense to be compared to a New Zealander. To say what he thought of them would no doubt offend Eric's grandma, but let's just say he thought all Kiwi's had a deep "love interest" with their sheep. That was his...

    Intercourse, PA...(NO JOKE!) It's Blue BALL, PA...not Blue Balls. My bad. They're both in Amish Country (of all places). :)

    Lest we forget Blue Balls, Pennsylvania...which incidentally is near Intercourse, PA. :)

    [OT-NHL] The Annual NHL Playoffs Thread: 2003

    I definitely agree that the Caps needed to be more aggressive in their checks. However, if you factor in the crummy officiating, most of the Caps' bench would be in the Penalty Box if they actually did throw a few more elbows. The Caps' owner (Ted Leonsis FYI) was clearly p.o'ed by the 3OT...

    [OT-NHL] The Annual NHL Playoffs Thread: 2003

    Once again, it boiled down to the Caps executing a boneheaded penalty at the worst possible time. The Caps and Bolts played very well yesterday with the (I struggle to even say this) better team winning. All in all it doesn't matter much since the Senators will crush the puny Bolts in Round...

    Philisophical Sayings of a Socialist Monk, help

    I'm not sure GK's last post was a flame or not...it certainly was off-topic at the least. In reference to my comment of Karl Marx being "Da Man", I'd just like to say is the father of socialism, in which Communism is a economic derivative thereof. Lighten up.:rolleyes:

    Philisophical Sayings of a Socialist Monk, help

    Never seen a communist monk before, but I have seen a communist druid. A friend of mine played one and eventually led an uprising and subsequent revolution. You might want to take some inspiration from Da Man...Comrade Karl Marx.

    [OT-NHL] The Annual NHL Playoffs Thread: 2003

    Fortunately the Caps/Lightning game ended as soon as possible. Olie looked like he was spacing out for most of the last half of the game. Are the Caps done...Nah...this will just go the distance.

    Swearing in a game

    Fu....I mean...hel....well, heck yeah we do! It's not as if it is a constant stream of obscenities, but we've been know to express ourselves through use of (as Mr. Spock put it) colorful metaphors.
