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

    Yeah, there were definitely some bad calls last night and Tampa was actually looking like a playoff team. It's a good thing we had some clutch shooting from Witt and (of all people) Zubris. I don't blame Kolzig since only one of the 4 goals was for something he botched up. Anyway, we'll get...

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

    5 on 3 in OT? WTF? The Caps' OT performance was INEXCUSABLE. Jagr's retributional roughing (while justifiable) was uncalled for and don't even get me started on how asinine Ken Klee's elbowing cost them the game. To quote a big-time hockey friend of mine. "Quit screwing around!" I'm still...

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

    C-A-P-S..CAPS! CAPS! CAPS! The Jagr/Bondra steamroller has begun. Let's hope for a sweep. GO CAPS!

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

    I'll be the first to admit that DC's excitement about the Caps making the playoffs (and winning Game 1 with an SO) is lukewarm at best. This city lives and breathes via the suckfilled, overpaid, and horrificly managed Washington Deadskins. It nearly had wet dream when Jordan decided to pull his...

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

    GO CAPS! Olie and Lang are on fire and the shutout last night was just the beginning. It's about freaking time they made up for 1998.

    Do you let your players...?

    If the two party members in question are nearby (i.e. within earshot of eachother) and the suggestion is audible to the mage (i.e. no orcish wardrums playing in the background)...yeah sure. I mean, that's common sense...right?

    Joys of WoTC retail store

    I think he's actually referring to the one at the Mall in Columbia. That place is infested with CCG-ers and you literally have to wade through their gaming schwag just to see the RPG stuff.

    (OT) So what is there to do in Montreal?

    Having visited Montreal last Fall, I'd definitely recommend old Montreal. Other things of interest: The Olympic Park/BioDome (No, not based on a Paulie Shore movie). Hike up Mont Real...it has some great views of the city. If you've never been to a Moevenpick restaurant, try it out...it's...

    [OT] A joke a post.

    A British airman is shot down over Nazi territory during WWII. Whenn e gets to the hospital, horribly maimed and mangled, the German surgeon tells him that he's going to lose his leg. The airman says, "Ok, but the next time you blokes bomb London, will you drop my leg over my home in England?"...

    (OT) Things to do in Boston (when you're a tourist)

    Huzzah! Thanks P-Kitty! I'm heading north from Washington D.C. (Re: 3-feet of snow last month), so I'm used to the sub-arctic temperatures. The Weather Channel said it was going to be around 47F next weekend, so things should be pretty good. We're driving up, but sticking with public...

    (OT) Things to do in Boston (when you're a tourist)

    I'm heading up to P-Kitty's territory next week and was thinking about gaming stores in the downtown Boston area. My hotel is on (I think) School Street. I'll also be heading over Hah-vahd Yahd and M.I.T., so any in that general area would be good to know as well. THX -DIETER

    No Cons in DC area?

    I know plenty of people (Thorntangle being one of them) who would probably be interested in a CON inside the DC city limits...even something right off the metrorail system (being in the Virginia or Maryland burbs) would be great. If someone has the time and/or resources, I think we could...

    What if... WotC hadn't bought TSR?

    MS-D&D '95, '98, 2000, ME, XP with add-ons and patches every six months just to tick us gamers off. And people complain about D&D 3.5 ??? At least you don't have to worry about old versions of RPGs crashing for no apparent reason. ;)

    DMs, Tell about the shortest encounter ever because of players luck and actions

    Heh...yeah. Been there. ;) My personal favorite was against a favorite DM of ours. Back in the day, long before the whole BBADD*, we had the most uncanny of luck at defeating the winged beasts. Without fail, someone would roll a critical against the dragon during first round on combat. In one...

    What was CAR WARS?

    Mmm...that was some good smack back in the day. If you got over the fact that vehicle creation actually took longer than playing a given game, it was really cool. My fondest memories are of Uncle Schmalbert's catalog of weapons, the existential blue crayon gun, and the ubiquitous black hole...

    What Spycraft books have Psionics rules?

    Having only the core rulebook for Shadowforce Archer, I know that has tons of stuff in it. I'd venture to say that all of the SFA books have at least some psionic material in them. I will now direct you to the highly informative webpage that AEG has put out for these sorts of questions...

    What type of food do you eat while gaming?

    In olden tymes, we used to get away with Doritos Cool Ranch (TM) and 2-litre bottles of Coke (TM). But being that my constitution is no longer of dwarven prowess, I stick mainly to water and Chex Mix. My group does go in for the occasional pizza or we usual trek out to the local strip mall for...
