    Why don't dwarves like magic?

    Dwarven beard-nets are available in hemp, silk, silver, gold, mithril and spin-forged tensile adamantite. You can always tell a dwarven smith's relative wealth and social class (only royalty head to the forge with diamond-sprinkled nets) by his or her beard-net. Available in all fine smithwear...

    Morrus' Gen Con Report

    Man, I should introduce my wife to Piratecat. Glad you had a good time, Morrus. Sucks about the badges.. I should hope that someone from GenCon would send you some sort of apology for that sort of hassle, it's really quite unbelievable.

    swearing

    For phrase-based cursing, I'd go with something with some in-game impact, something like "Creation's Blight" that BiggusGeekus mentioned. For those more ah, scatological terms -- way I see it is that we're not speaking dwarven, elven, or even common, we're speaking English, so use of the...

    So what is the new "Safe House"?

    Re: Re: Re: Re: So what is the new "Safe House"? I wasn't at GenCon or anything, but from talking to bartenders at wedding receptions and such (out of curiosity, I asked why no one could have more than a drink at a time, even though I don't drink), I learned that it's due to laws. Could lose...

    (OT) How effed up is this?!

    While the premise of "normal person tries to escape from disaster using everyday items" is pretty interesting, and probably worth a mod (though probably a full game based on escaping from a disaster would get boring)... it seems to me that perhaps they could have picked a less emotionally...

    [OT] Saddam's son's killed in firefight.

    I'd have to say, revelling in the deaths of others is certainly inappropriate. The bare facts of the deaths is news rather than politics, I think.. but applauding the 101st for killing a teenager, among others?

    [ot]"Fly Boy"

    I've heard that's a good method for dealing with a bot fly or other ovipositor -- put some nice juicy meat over the cyst, and the larva will head to it, as it smells like more nutrition. There are some very interesting, if disturbing, insects out there. I remember hearing about one guy who had...

    WotC before Hasbro. The way we were.

    I'd think it would be easier and more productive just to edit the copyrighted material out of the original post, while retaining the link. Assuming, of course, that the board administration deems this to be a problem.

    [ot]"Fly Boy"

    I heard about this a while ago, when the boy was first brought into a hospital. I had no idea it was this complex -- at the time, I think the general medical consensus was that there was an egg mass in his bladder. Guess not. It's fascinating and disturbing, and I hope it doesn't cause...

    Ranger Playahs: How do you choose favored enemies?

    I don't play a ranger, just because I'm the DM.. but there's one in my group. As far as I can tell, he picked his 2 favored enemies in the following manner: 1) I hate goblins. So does my PC. 2) I think the DM will make us fight undead.. so I hate undead. So there you go. Whim, I guess. He's...

    [OT] Brush with greatness

    Donald Sutherland lives, or lived, just across the border from the town where I grew up. Used to see him in the local grocery store or putting gas in his car or whatever from time to time. Carried a purse. Prior to a divorce, Sylvester Stallone used to have a house here (I think he lost it in...
