    Surprised by the non-suckage

    Timemaster sets the stage with a simple time travel game. You go back in time, shoot the bad guys and go home. The mechanics are lousy. The setting is good. Timetricks is so utterly awesome that it melts uranium. How about a game that if the players screw up they prevent their own births...

    Tell me about Warhammer Fantasy, please

    I forget who said it first. But my favorite quote on WFRP is: This game rocks. Just don't get too attached to your character.

    Sacred Cow Death Watch: Do you use material components?

    Yes, in the sense that they have to have a pouch of all the materials and pay for the ones that cost money. No, in the sense that I check for it. Player's honor.

    Can o' worms- opinions sought

    I think you're fine actually. The scenario that was going through my mind was this: if someone released a phenominal 8-page PDF that was knock-the-socks-off great, could it fairly compete against Ptolus in the judging? Given the current categories, I think the answer is yes. So I have to...

    Possible new job would have pay cut -update! I got the job!

    I sent it via the "send ______ an email" when you right click on the name. And BioWare is out. A move is out. My wife is an energy economist who analyzes legal policy. There's not a lot of work for that outside of DC. Yeah, I'm psyched. I start Sept 5th. If I don't screw it up this...

    Sent to you! And I updated the first post. Things look very, very good.

    Window shopping for minis

    Good point. Yeah, when things settle down, I'll go through the commons list and pick out the Adventurer types and orcs. That's really all I want. A generic grab bag of mostly male adventures and orcs.

    George Mason U. I think I would be at some kind of satililte though. Across the street is an office park which is where most of the people in the company do the work. Well, things are developing. They're now going over my background with a fine tooth comb.

    Window shopping for minis

    Hmmm. That $40 mega pack might just be what the doctor ordered. Definately on my wish list.

    Window shopping for minis

    Is there a site that is not ebay that is dedicated to D&D minis? Thanks!

    Possible new job would have pay cut -update! I got the job!

    I wouldn't. It's a non-profit that has offices at GMU. I wouldn't be University staff. I would be some guy who happens to work near co-eds.

    Possible new job would have pay cut -update! I got the job!

    Yeah, I think the only savings I would get is travel time. It wouldn't be free. Which is still something. **** it. I'll take the job if they offer. If I don't I'll probably go into some kind of negative feedback loop and end up playing World of Warcraft all day.

    3.5 vs Rolemaster

    Rolemaster can be fun. Less powergamey than D&D? I would argue no. But really, it's all about personal preferences. Rolemaster is a perfectly fine game and the charts are easy to use once you get the hang of them and make some photocopies.

    Possible new job would have pay cut -update! I got the job!

    Yeah. Good point. They are offering well under industry standard, so it's not a dream to say I could get more elsewhere. But at this point I'm too tired to care and that will probably reflect in my next interview.

    Possible new job would have pay cut -update! I got the job!

    My situation: I'm unemployed and kind of burnt out. I have a job offer in the works, but the deal could still go bad. The job itself is OK. Nothing to write home about though. The only real "wow" part of it is that I'd be working on a college campus which would hopefully have a gym for me...

    Dragons... has the icon been lost?

    I agree. But then, that's why my group made the switch to Iron Heroes.

    Front page wonky

    Fair enough.
