Everyone enjoyed themselves last night. I had "Bahn Xeo Dac Biet (2) - Crispy Pancake stuffed with shrimp, pork, onion, and bean sprouts" Which was basically two crepes stuffed with the aforementioned items. It was good but not very filling. My wife had a pork noodle bowl dish topped with an...

Ok just a few items of interest: "Com Bi Suon Cha - Shredded pork, pork chop, and pork egg pie served with steam rice." - so whats the pork egg pie? "Bun Nem Nuomg - Finely Grounded [sic] Pork Rolls vermicelli" "Mi Do Bien (kho Hoac Nuoc) -Seafood only, soup on the side or together" "Pho...

Going to a new Vietnamese noodle house tonight with some friends. I have a menu that has rather poor english in it, so getting a good idea of what you are ordering is difficult. I have had very little vietnamese food but am willing to try just about anything.

See, in Birmingham Alabama it comes in jugs at the grocery store just like milk. :)

Mustrum pretty much answered that question. If you plan on being in combat you need to make sure you get at least to 3rd or 4th before you dip. In all honesty, w/o making some houserules, I have found that its best to start d20 M at at least 3rd if not 5th, but thats up to the GM not the players.

This is why my buying of the Minis has dropped to almost nothing - yes the rares and even uncommons look pretty good but the glut of commons you wind up getting is just too overwhelming for things you wont use. Other than the dragonborn there isnt anything there I really want or need. If they...

Thanks I figured I wasnt the first.

Not if the campaign needs a hacker, a linguist, an investigator, a scientists, a reseracher, a doctor/medic, demolitions expert, intelligent leader/planner, or any kind of Daniel Jackson/Reed Richards/ Spock character. So no, can't discount either Smart or Dedicated classes yet.

Anyone have experiance, on insight, running 4e with parties smaller than 5 and if so what were the challanges you had? I have two players and in 3.x or similar we tend to run 2 PCs each, sometimes with temporary NPC allies depending on the adventure. When I had 3 players we tended to play one...

Unfortunately the answer is: it depends. Modern games come in far more variety than fantasy games. Choices about setting, FX, style, etc all come into play. I have run a fairly Pulp d20 Modern game where combat in one form or another was as common as it is in DnD and the PCs used a range of...

I know a lot of people like background music, atmospheric effects, etc. but I have never found them that useful and more often than not distracting. I would prefer silence other than the actual game play. My very vocal cat included.

Doesnt sound appealing. My grandmother always ate cold cornbread and and buttermilk - which i always thought was pretty nasty looking too. Now personally i do think there is a place for the swweet corn cake like cornbread (Jiffy Brand in the blue and white box) just so long as you aren't...

If you are looking for something a pulpy you could go with Adamant's Thrilling Tales line or if you are looking for something more Victorian you could try this. Personally I have used both the free ones available at Wizards (which are as a whole more usable than the DnD ones) and some of the...

Being a southern boy I like iced sweet tea - and yes, you do have to sweaten it while its still hot or the sugar doesnt disolve correctly. People who bring you iced tea and say "but we have packets of sweatener on the table" do not know what they are talking about. In certain kinds of weather...

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that "Eurogames" are those board games that orginated in Europe, usually Germany, that (at least to Americans) have a fairly different feel. Usually by being more involved than typical american board games whose rules are meant to be learned quickly and...

For those of us who do not have a local store participating in Free RPG Day would you consider making this available via pdf this weekend?

Saw this link on Boing Boing and had to share. Origami Minis!

When I ran a game with an Urban Druid we were playing in Ptolus. I allowed the urban druid to add the spells from the Civilization and Technology domains to his spell list. It was a simply and quick fix and fit the flavor of the setting, given that the urban druid carried a pistol. So as a DM...

City Planning One of the interesting things that I have found from not only Jurgen's blog but from other people's comments is, when seeing an American Suburb, to question the city planning. City Planning? What city planning? Yes, it does happen, and the down town areas of many towns and...

Double Post Double Post. Sorry.
