    1st Ed D&D

    Ha! Every map I own shows blank space beyond the borders of Bartholomew County with a small notation "Here they be 2d4 wandering monsters" I will say that the odds against there being another Clark showing up on this little board who happens to live in Columbus or Bartholomew County and wants...

    New Game

    I would be interested and Friday would not conflict with anything else I have going on, except the occasional late work and that usually isn't later than 6 p.m.

    1st Ed D&D

    Me being last name of Clark? Yeah. Do we know each other? (although it would be awfully small of a world if your last name was Clark too.)

    James Bond

    I would, of course, be remiss if I didn't point out that I have most of the materials for Victory Games' James Bond RPG from the mid 80s. I only played it a few times, back in the day, but it was a lot of fun.

    1st Ed D&D

    I'm 40 also. I live in downtown Columbus with my wife and son, and work at The Republic. And we just played in Taylorsville last weekend, although it wasn't D&D (we played a game called True 20, which is a generic D&D knockoff, with a modern crime/espionage adventure.) You might detect that we...

    1st Ed D&D

    I think it is unrealistic to expect the "consistency" of 20-year-olds when we are dealing with people who all have jobs and/or lives and/or wives and/or children. The "irregular" players are all good friends of mine who I am happy to see when they can make it. If Jason, or Dave, or Chris, or...

    James Bond

    I actually got into James Bond through the Ian Fleming books before I saw the movies and I completely agree. I don't know if I would like them as much as a 40-year-old as I did as a 15-year-old but they were a lot of fun. I recently thought about trying to round out my collection again so my...

    1st Ed D&D

    Really? What about a new game with some old players? Well, I actually just ran it as a one-shot. But everyone had a really good time. It surprised me at how, well, BAD the original rules felt after the newer versions. Basically, using the basic rules (from 1981) and the module that came boxed...

    Killjoy Cooking With the Dungeons & Dragons Crowd

    But! But! They left out my very favorite recipe! How will I ever again eat spinach and artichoke dip, if in fact they did not include the spinach and artichoke dip recipe in this version of the cookbook?? Sure, they have a large section on spinach-based dips. And adding artichoke is a...

    Feat increase

    If you are wedded to the D&D/D20 system, but want some more flexibility, there are several options available: 1) Unearthed Arcana offers three "generic" hero classes that allow for greater flexibility in character creation and advancement. 2) Green Ronin's True 20 has some more flexible...

    That sounds good Vince. I will swing by in the morning. You guys be around?

    Cleaning the shelves

    Well, it was an OK system, but I'm keeping my Star Wars D20 and Star Wars Saga D20. I think I've got Star Wars covered :) If you really want them, I can pull them out.

    Cleaning the shelves

    The haul I am taking down to Louisville this weekend. This takes me down to just below 700 books: Action - Gunslingers - Wild West Action! D&D3.5e Forgotten Realms - City of Splendors: Waterdeep D&D3e - Epic Level Handbook D&D3e - Psionics Handbook D&D3e - Savage Species D20 - Book of Hallowed...

    Cleaning the shelves

    Oh no, I am planning to fill it up with a slightly smaller quantity of stuff I might be interested in but will probably never play :) If I only had stuff I used/will use, then I could fit it in one book shelf. That is unless someone is interested in playing a...

    Cleaning the shelves

    Well, not cleaning exactly. Maybe winnowing just a bit. I decided that while we were in New Albany visiting my dad, we would run over to the Book and Music Exchange in Louisville and see what kind of trades we could get. I basically cleared my shelves of almost all of my D&D 2nd edition...

    I would love to come, unfortunately I am going to run back to New Albany. My dad is still in the hospital down there.

    A Fascist Philosopher Helps Us Understand Contemporary Politics

    Well, at first I nearly stopped reading it. His analysis of liberals' study of Schmidtt seemed to be one of those articles which claims that liberals are the true heirs to the fascist/totalitarian philosophy (as postulated in a book by Jonah Goldberg, all of Ann Coulter's rhetoric or any given...

    Superman/Spiderman

    Interestingly, Spider-man got married to MJ in 1987, while Superman and Lois didn't tie the knot until 1996. So, Spidey was 9 years ahead of Supes. Or, since Superman came out in 1938 and Spider-man in 1962, you could say that Supes was 58 when first married, while Spidey was a relatively spry...

    Tree Vandals

    My first thought, like Chris, was that some tree trimmers went to the wrong house. Obviously, not in the middle of the night. Are they taking the debris with them Vince? Is it possible it is an animal, like a beaver or something? Is it happening to anyone else? If no, then I would agree it is...
