I love watching old movies like this with my wife. She gets really mad about how the women act. But I kept telling her to watch how Brigid is always trying to play Spade and how he knows she's doing it but still falls for it. She's a strong female character despite the limits put on women back...

You mean there's one that predates the Bogart movie?

I can't believe you guys dug this thread back up. All I got to say is this...

Ok, tell me that the Maltese Falcon is not one of the best movies in history. I forgot how awesome this movie is. See it if you haven't. At least read the book.

Wow. A pangolin reference. My wife and four-year-old daughter came home with a book about pangolins the other day. The kid is now fascinated with them. We'd never even heard of them until they brought the book home. I think pangolin kobolds is a great idea!

That's what really bugged me when they started changing things. Ok, so some people in their games abused Polymorph to make their PCs combat machines. So what!? One of the coolest thing a player can do is have his PC change into another form. We would mostly use these abilities outside of combat...

Morellica RULEZ!!!!!

Amen! I remember reading that Dragon, also. I was in the Third Grade and had just gotten into D&D by picking up the basic set at a department store. I definitely don't see my niece and nephew (about that age) getting into RPGs. They are more likely to play Nintendo, Playstation or Webkinz. Its...

Savage Worlds would be perfect for the Star Frontiers setting. But if it was me, and I could convince my group, I'd just go ahead and play with the original rules for that old school feeling. Laser Rifles set to 20!

I'm open Friday and Saturday night. Thursday night I'm playing in der_kluge's round robin dnd game (though I suppose I could be convinced to bail on it). It doesn't matter to me where we play, but it would be good to have a nice round table with comfy chairs. If we play somewhere I can bring...

If I remember, that mug-o-dice was around 5-10 bucks. We wouldn't necessarily have to do a tourney either. We could do a sit-n-go. That's where you put some chips (er, I mean dice) on the table and play with what you have. It's your typical No Limit, so you can't lose what you don't buy in...

Is there no emoticon for holding up a lighter?

No! Indy lost out to Dallas! Gee, I guess the ticket sales for 30,000 extra seats is pretty compelling... At least we still get Gen Con.

I just got GH2 a couple of weeks ago. I just now beat Easy mode. What a sweet game! I'm totally going to get the 80s version in June. Speakin' a which...

Finally got to see Primer (http://imdb.com/title/tt0390384/) via Netflix. Dang, what a cool movie. It's like the cinematic equivalent of a Rubik's Cube. I've never seen a time travel movie like this. Anyone seen this? It makes me want to run a time-travel rpg campaign where I just start...

I just finished Dale Pendell's Pharmako/Poeia and moved on to the next one Pharmako/Dynamis. How do I describe an exploration of psychoactive plants written at times like an epic poem, an anthropology text, or a biochemistry text? These books are the required reading for a UC Berkeley class I...

I only ask because I'm considering brewing a special beer just for Gencon.

How cool would it be if that star the girl gave to Suresh actually does work?

We always sent people down to the vendor hall to hit Chessex for the mug-full-o'-dice deal. I tried to get them to sponsor my event but I never heard back from them. The second year when we had two full tables, the winner took home something like around 500 dice. It was hilarious watching him...
