Gotta Work on My R's Aaaaah!! AAAAAH!!!! Shoot, it's tough being a pirate from Boston! Good thing I've still got a couple weeks to work on those R's ;)

I can't believe I don't see my all-time favorite joke either in this thread or in the archived one Dark Jezter gave a link to! No idea where I first heard it, but it was several years back, and I don't remember it all, so I'll have to ad lib a little.... A pair of very virtuous paladins...

Kate Kate Beckinsale made both "Underworld" and "Van Helsing" semi-enjoyable for me....

Most of my faves have already been listed, with one notable exception: The Undertaker (WWE)

Tasha's Hideous Laughter A drinking victim Tasha's Hideous Laughter Milk shoots out his nose.

It's on page 61 of the August issue (#191). It's a full-page ad showing a human warrior with a big shield and shining axe battling through a sea of baddies. The caption is: "We Invented Godmode." The smaller print down at the bottom of the page reads: "This is where RPGs started. Character...

I couldn't hold out and bought 2 packs on my way home from work, hoping for a red dragon. Sure enough, I open Pack #1 and see this big red tail down at the bottom of the box!! Turned out to be a fiendish tyrannosaurus. :( Still a pretty nice-looking figure, though. Got the treant for my...

My bard doesn't have that spell yet, but I'm planning on taking it the next chance I get. Like you, I thought it'd be fun to tell some actual jokes in the process of casting. Here's a couple off the top of my head: Why aren't elves allowed to run while children? They might poke out someone's...

My favorite spell-song that I've composed for my lady bard is for the Message spell: Softer than a lover's sigh, Soft as lover's kiss, As lover's breath in lover's ear To thee I whisper this.... I started writing a D&D version of Pat Benatar's "Invincible" but decided that was too corny.... ;)

I would never, EVER, consider playing a bard in a face-to-face game. The "I sing to Inspire Courage" line would grow old fast, and the whole concept of singing during a battle would indeed seem kind of lame. And most bards just aren't built well for combat. I'd feel like a goof if I tried to...

Mine finally shipped yesterday.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! My human female runaway/prostitute/exotic entertainer who's trying to turn her life around and become a legitimate bard stands on the edge of a bar brawl currently. The best part of the whole situation is that the DM included the following in her Code of Conduct for the...

Very diplomatically put. One more moan from me, then I'll go get a life. If ArthurQ is correct about the reason for the price increase (better paint jobs), then this situation wouldn't be a whole lot different than the following scenario: Three months ago, you're at a car dealership, pricing...

The other possible justification that I could see for a price increase may be that more new molds are needed for the newer lines, while many of the Harbinger minis were cast from or at least based on molds from the Chainmail line.

John - I didn't think your tone came off as cold at all, and I hope I'm not coming off that way either. I guess I'm not really surprised that there would be a price increase...it's more the amount of the jump. 30% is huge. And it does just feel like WotC (or more likely, the big shots at...

I (I, in the absolute "me" sense ;) ) really want to keep buying the minis, but I think a 30% increase prices them out of my means. $3 doesn't sound like much at first, but if you're a collector, those $3 per pack add up in a hurry. And like you said, the minis aren't something you NEED to...

I understand that. Someone else had suggested that maybe the price for the first two mini sets were set low (perhaps as an incentive to get more people to try them out) and that the $12.99 price was more in line with what WotC planned to sell the booster packs for. There is a precedent for...

There's an article or press release on dragonlance.com saying that the MSRP for Archfiends is $12.99.

The problem with this argument is that with metal minis you know what you're buying beforehand; with the WotC packs, you're buying 8 random minis. Those who try to collect a full set usually end up with a dozen or more duplicates of one or more crappy Common (human commoner from Harbinger...

Sounds to me like your group has a potentially lethal mix of role-players and roll-players (more into the hack-n-slash aspect of the game). STAND YOUR GROUND! You and your hubby seem to have a good grasp on the roles of your characters, and seem willing to get involved in the...
