The first verse of Neil Young's Thrasher begs to be made into an adventure: They were hiding behind hay bales, They were planting in the full moon, They had given all they had for something new. But the light of day was on them. They could see the thrashers coming, And the water shon like...

Daylight Savings Time: It's way too early to be this late.

True Resurrection? Unless the death was a natural one of course. If the religion were already divided over some issue, the death of the leader who has just barely been holding things together could trigger a schism. Which was exactly what the assassins from a rival country wanted, because the...

Without a multiple choice poll I can't vote honestly. Troughton, Pertwee, Davison, and McCoy were all excellent in their own ways and I simply can't pick a favorite from among them. I waffle back and forth about how much I like Tom Baker. Aside from the very first episode, I don't care for...

Each one seems to get better. I've only read through Summer Knight (Book 4), but it was far and away the best so far. Rl'Halsinor, with the Dresden books you'll definitely wanna read them in order: Storm Front Fool Moon Grave Peril Summer Knight Death Masks Blood Rites Dead Beat (due out in...

All of those things, plus one of the hardest working guys in rock music. Except for a couple of years when legal wrangling with his record company prevented it, he's put out a new album every year since he started recording. And IMO the guy with the best live album ever made, Weld.

Just saw on E! News that Neil Young was treated for a brain aneurysm earlier in the week. Neil's one of my favorites, and I don't wanna see him in Mark's obituary thread any time soon. Here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery.

You have my deepest sympathies. I've had that for a few years now and it's not fun. The first day Tastee Freeze was open this year I was so tempted to get an ice cream cone, even though it would mean misery the rest of the day. In the end I didn't. Oh, and don't trust Lactaid. Every lactose...

A D&D Player Steps Into The World of Darkness Until a few weeks ago my total experience with The World of Darkness consisted of owning (and reading once, but never playing) Mage: The Ascension, and playing in one session of a Vampire: The Masquerade game where the GM had us play versions of...

The Harry Dresden novels by Jim Butcher. They're set in modern day Chicago, where Dresden is both a wizard and a private detective. I've read a lot of Robert Parker's Spenser novels, and the Dresden books seem in the flavor of those books, except with vampires, werewolves, magic, and fae...

"We'll swap Christopher Eccelston's copy of 'Fame for Dummies' with a copy of 'How to Annoy Fans for Dummies' and see what happens...." I'd say I hope it goes to Alan Davies next, but he's already played Doctor Who, only for some reason in those episodes the Doctor chose to pretend he was from...

I was afraid you'd say something like that. :) So far I'm finding the playtest type review to be more difficult to write. My text keeps trying to drift away from being a review and towards being a story hour instead, and I'm having a difficult time seperating my opinion of the mini-campaign I...

Thanks for taking care of it, Crothian. Now to find out if it's any easier to write a review of a product I have used in a game than it was to write one for a product I'd only read.

Hey Crothian, since you seem to be the go to guy for Reviews stuff, thought I'd mention that the new World of Darkness core book has two apparently identical entries. URLs are: http://www.enworld.org/reviews.php?do=product&productid=119426...

How about getting people they've gamed with to tell stories of their past gaming exploits on camera and edit them together into a video or DVD?

If there's been a deal reached to air it in the US I've not heard about it, but Sylvester McCoy gave it a pretty good review on the BBC News website.

Can't have a pun thread without this classic: A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller, whose name is Patricia Whack. He says, "Mrs. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation." Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow. The...

My Hero (another BBC comedy) is on hiatus on PBS because of pledge drives, but it's the only comedy I watch with any regularity. Otherwise I watch Judging Amy on CBS and five year old episodes of Eastenders on PBS but nothing else on a regular basis. I'll watch Scrubs if I happen to flip past...

What I posted was actually the diplomaticified version of how bad I thought it was. I got some of the worst things out my system with the e-mail to NBC that I didn't send. Remaking the British script was definitely a huge problem for me because it highlighted how inferior this version is. The...

Somewhere between 2nd and 3rd editions I forgot how to make my own adventures. It's disturbing, but I sit down to come up a scenario and I just go all blank. So when I DM, and that's not a terribly common thing, I always use a module. Once I've got that basis I can usually add on to it, or...
