    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    I'm sorry, but I don't understand what your question is here. It seems straightforward enough. The early posts like this one are essentially just Shil's notes and summary about what happened in a session. The real "story hour" doesn't start until a page or two past the start of things.

    Helen Mirren kicking as with machine guns! I am totally there.

    Fallout New Vegas Mentats...

    Those are very cool. Do you have any left? I'd be interested in buying a couple.

    Aeon (updated 10/9/14)

    Hey Horacio. Long time no see. I do remember fondly the days of your bumping Sep's thread to get him to post what happened after his initial post.

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    I'm just not seeing Mr. T saying "HEAL ME!!!" in a squeaky, high pitched, panicky voice. No he's much more a spark from Phil Foglio's Girl Genius Girl Genius Online Comics!

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    Since we are drawing to the end of this tale, I am curious to hear from some of the lurkers. We've got 83 thousand views on this thread and about 3 posters we hear from occasionally. I'm pretty sure that those views aren't just from Shil and I re-reading things. Which means SOMEBODY seems to...

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    Well Shil is almost done grading papers, so we may have a new post from him in the next couple of weeks. I think we are down to less than five sessions till the end of the campaign (I'd guess 3). I think we are roughly 5 posts or so, behind in the SH. So The End Is Nigh!

    Do people like Story Hours with lots of dialogue?

    Unfortunately, anyone who could answer these questions would be acclaimed as one of the greatest literary analysts of all time. For Shilsen's story hour, Shil writes up the events and dialogue (he has a phenomenal memory) with the aid of some notes. Then he'll toss it over to me for some...

    24 to be canceled

    Well B5 was supposed to have a 5th season, but was in danger of cancellation so they crammed stuff into season 4 that was supposed to go into 5 and put what was intended to be the last episode into the end of season 4. Personally 24 lost me when they didn't do the "Jack Bauer spends the entire...

    Request Math Help Regarding Tsunamis

    I saw the same show and got the idea to use a chunk of Thronehold (The island capital of Eberron) to wipe out an aberration army, in Shilsen's SH. But I agree it's best off just simply handwaving it and simply declare what effect it will have.

    Steampunk Suggestions?

    What? No love for Girl Genius? Very funny like pretty much all of Phil's stuff and it's free to read online.

    The Blind Side -- the racial contraversy

    I can understand where the complaints are coming from, I mean this sort of plot has it's own entry on TV Tropes.org Mighty Whitey. Calling it racism is going overboard, but how would you like it if your ethnic group/gender/what ever, was very often portrayed as being unable to solve problems...

    And the Oscar for Best Picture goes to..

    My guess would be Precious. Hollywood LOVES seeing people ACTING!!!!!!!! in big bold letters and there's lots of that going on in Precious. Just look at all the people who have won Oscars playing the insane or dying. Precious just hits too many of the things that Hollywood loves awarding oscars...

    iMac as a PC Moniter?

    Yeah, bootcamp is a far, far better solution and cheaper too. Unless you simply want a min-PC for some reason. Most of them have inferior graphics cards (or simply integrated graphics) to what you can get in a 27" iMac (ATI mobile 4850) and thus aren't going to be as good for gaming. The...
