    Here there be dragons?

    I have seen the phrase "Here be monsters" on old sea maps from Cartier's and Champlain's time (late 16th century). There are some at the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

    *Rumor* Sci-Fi Channel seriously interested in picking up Enterprise

    I'll probably get jumped for this one, but I hated it when Fox cancelled The Lone Gunmen, the X-Files spin-off. It had its moments.

    Understanding Alignments?

    Alignments are D&D's way of classifying character types. I find it actually amusing that they apply a rule and classification to something that is "chaotic" when chaos is just that....it's chaos. It was already mentioned that the flaw goes hand in hand with both the rules, and the players...

    What was the first monster you killed in D&D?

    My first kill was a goblin with my fighter in B1. I think that was over 20 years ago. I know that my fighter's remains are still in the Caves of Chaos.

    How many of you would consider playing an older version of D&D?

    I plan to run a basic game with my 3.5 group soon. I picked up the original boxed sets on ebay along with a few modules that I'll be running (Keep on the Borderlands anyone?). I can't help but smirk when all 6 players make their characters in under 6 minutes.

He said he and his roommate tried it but didn't really get into it, so he thought I might like it. I saw the little strange...

    further developing of character

    When I think of annoying, all I think is George Costanza from Seinfeld. Make him totally nerotic about people liking him or something, and maybe he just can't hold down a job. Make him whiny.

    D&D has threatened my job!

    I'm a parent of a 3 year old and I'm in training to become a police officer. I know that some people may think that this is an issue of "playing D&D with minors" but it goes beyond that. I peronally think that if you're inviting students over to play chess you would be plagued with the same...
