I'm not generally a fan of "me too" type posts, but since there has only been one other reply I wanted to say that I appreciated reading this post, and congratulations on writing it. I now have a new comparison for when people say "there is nothing worse than..." :-) Duncan

Hey, why do we have to keep them straight? If Morrus wants to be gay, that's up to him (and his girlfriend, I suppose). (this one's for you, Angelsboi) Duncan

So, do we have the next selection decided yet? I should finish Harry Potter 5 today, so I have a break in my reading schedule right about now. Duncan

After ELEVEN days Australia is 2nd to the Bahamas, who have only 1 medal, a gold. THE USA has slipped to 29th place. Go to www.abs.gov.au and follow the link from there. Duncan

Well, as Duncan Haldane is just a screen name you can get the credit for being the real Duncan, detomo. :-) Duncan

Cool. I wonder if he mixed up the two Duncans posting on this (since I selected it). Duncan Haldane :-)

Check out this site for figures on Medal tally versus population: http://www.abs.gov.au/Ausstats/abs@.nsf/57a31759b55dc970ca2568a1002477b6/be9f47591541e29eca256ef40004f25a!OpenDocument It's accessible from www.abs.gov.au, the website for the Australian Government's Bureau of Statistics. It's...

Congrats on making it to Gencon - I'm really glad for you. I know the bags I ordered are on the way - I wasn't expecting them for a while, so that's great too! :-) Edit: Got home from work and the bags are here - they look great! I can't wait to see them, and then to see my player's faces as...

Actually, the cost of the RPGA is all an advertising expense. It's a really good idea. When they charged for membership the costs couldn't be deducted as advertising, now it is. So WotC are able to improve RPGA facilities while reducing the cost to the users. And now because it's free people...

Follow the bookclub threads. Then get a copy of the book nominated and read it, then participate in the discussion. There is no actual "joining" involved. Duncan

15 blocks - doesn't that mean the queue will end outside your door? :-) I'm in Australia, so I'm not going to Gencon this year. But plans are afoot for next year! Origins and Gencon are both in July next year, so I'm hoping to make a trip to North America to attend both (again - did it...

Idlewild Discussion started... Idlewild Discussion And the next selector is Nikolai, as the only person to express interest in being a selector at the moment. Thanks. Duncan

Hi all, well, better late than never - the boards went down at the wrong time! :-) Anyway, I just wanted to open discussion on the most recent selection - Nick Sagan's Idlewild. I chose this book because it seemed to fulfil the requirements of the book club, and I noticed a cover line by Neil...

BUMPPPPPPP So, anyone else finished Idlewild? I finished it a few days ago and I'm ready to start discussing it on Sunday. Duncan

So, Paladin & Paladinwife - are you going to Gencon? Duncan

I've been reasonably involved in the RPGA for a few years now - since the start of Living Greyhawk (LG) really. I no longer play LG, but I DM it a lot. And most of the time I enjoy the experience. Sometimes I get a player who annoys me. But then we don't have a huge number of people here in...

You didn't find ANURPS? (ANU Roleplaying Society)? It's been around since at least 1996. We started running monthly games days at the ANU with ANURPS in October 2000 IIRC. Duncan

Well, Tuggernong is an Aboriginal word. I think it's good to use the local names for areas. And, ummm... what war?

So, anyone got their hand in the air for the next book? Mark? Duncan (currently about 2/3 of the way through Idlewild, after having purchased too many rules supplements recently).

Hong, You're in Canberra??? Or were you just here for the Ceremony? If you are in Canberra, how come I haven't met you at a games day (at the ANU - next one is tomorrow ;-) Duncan
