    [wayyyy OT] DocMidnight, a question about your pranking friends....

    Doc - you said you knew and did the cover for at least on of the touchtone terrorists' CD's. i just saw their call on "crank yankers" on sunday and was laughing my a$$ off all night..... but i have a question. how did they get that lady to call them? if you recall, they said they were workers...

    WotC Settings Search update

    forgotten realms and dragonlance. both were written by "outsiders" (at the time), and both were big hits - obviously so with FR.

    [OT-Rant] What is UP with Talon Comics??

    one order for derek, about six months ago. fulfilled with no problem. sorry to hear he's still having trouble, but it sounds like he needs to get his head above water pretty soon or no one here will be ordering from him. i gotta believe this place was a nice source of business.

    (OT) Teenager dies of Acute Stupidity Disorder

    yeah, in no way is this one of those too-stupid-to-believe stories. in retrospect, yeah it was a lapse of reason. the guy was a freaking tourist, though. nope. no laughs for this. i also do not agree with the mother about putting grates in, either, as that would detract from the natural beauty...

    thanks, FD. i see the neurosurgeon tomorrow to discuss options, but with one of my disks herniated it's looking like surgery is going to be the only solution.

    9/11 capped off one of our busiest times at work. some of our investment people have bloomburg terminals and we watched everything on bloomburg TV. i checked in on the boards, too. one thing i'll remember for a while are the experiences of our dearly departed chairman_kaga, who got to witness...

    Samurai Jack Question

    oh yeah, i've seen both. the scottsman's wife is a terror! it's hilarious. i love SJ, but i think it's getting kind of lost in the shuffle. i have a 3 1/2 year old lad, so cartoon network is on quite a bit at our house. they seem to promote dexter, PPG, courage and G & E quite a bit. not many...

    favorite transformer?

    yeah, i was disappointed in armada, too. didn't come close to capturing the spirit of the original. cyclonus a snivelling fool? it's a cool idea, with the mini cons, but lackluster followthrough. i hate the anime style kids, too. oh well, my little boy loves it, so that's all that matters...

    Bottom 5 D&D and D20 items

    yes, but these are just going to be mini-hooks to get things started! take the wildflower example. of course you're not buying a book to figure out how to hold a conversation on wildflowers. you're buying the book because you never would have thought to make an NPC have that particular interest...

    Bottom 5 D&D and D20 items

    well then, that settles it. psion speaks: no book of common npc's. :) i'd argue that with programs like master tools, it's not THAT hard to come up with stats for npc's, though. and seriously, how often do you NEED full stats for common NPC's? unless your players are enlisting every bartender...

    Bottom 5 D&D and D20 items

    I'd gladly pay $20 or so for a meaty book, no color, but sketches of each NPC. i'm thinking along the lines of those Call of Cthulu "headshots" they sprinkled in their later (pre D20) adventures. i envisioned 2 npc's per page, joe. that includes a "headshot", 2 para bio, and a stat line IF...

    Bottom 5 D&D and D20 items

    i would die for a book of hundreds of npc's, only lightly sprinkled with Adventurer-types. I'm just looking for a book with 10 bartenders, hundreds of patrons, politicians, citizens and the like. each with a few vital combat stats and a one or two paragraph write up. the problem with books like...

    What was wrong with the DnD Movie?

    my wife and friends were cracking each other up imitating jeremy irons after seeing this dog. i felt bad for thora birch. here she is going through the motions, yet she must have known that this movie could have been a career-killer. i can't blame her for her wooden performance - it would be...
