where did you get those IM units?

My company doesn't even have a party. We aren't allowed to spend any company money on any kind of "team events". I'm not complaining, though. They give us the week between Christmas and New Years off. Still, my buddies tell me about some pretty cool (and pretty humorous) company parties...

From newsoftheweird.com:

I don't think current computer programs can predict success--otherwise the computers the studios currently use to crank out all that crap would be producing good movies.

Interesting timing. I am working up a mechanic for this week's game in which a PC needs to seduce a succubus who's trying to seduce him, both trying to gain information from the other. It has a lot similarity to what you need. I simplified Spycraft 2.0's dramatic conflict system to come up with...

As I read over this thread, I'm amazed at how varied people's opinions are. Every show seems to be both liked and disliked.

Newspapers? They still have those?

I didn't realize Boondocks was a comic strip. Is it on the web? I was digging it until I saw the one where the guys shoot up the convenience store. That one really put me off.

So I've finally caught up with my DVR and seen a few of these. I am now convinced that Williams Street is a large machine designed to turn pot into cartoons. Perfect Hair Forever: I hate most of those cheesy anime like Dragonball-Z (which I like to pronounce as one word), Zatch Bell and the...

Last session my gnome conjurer with a 6 strength got grappled by a double-crossing PC who had been infected with lycanthropy by the bad guys. He was dragged off never to be seen again. We use grapple almost every session, though we have no PCs specialized in it. Its almost to the point where no...

Waaaay back in junior high English class, I read a scifi short story about a scout sent to explore new planets. The R&D guys sent him along with an experimental disintegrator pistol. When he arrived, he was attacked by a pack of space-wolves. He disintegrated one of them, and when the rest of...

I wish I still had it. I lost it in the Unfortunate Computer Crash of 2004 when my pc crapped out.

Anyone remember Spacemaster Star Strike (http://www.icewebring.com/ICE_Products/SM2/SM2_9010_Star_Strike.shtml)? It was just like the rest of Spacemaster--really cool on paper but too much bookkeeping in practice. It's the only spaceship battle game I've seen that takes momentum and 3D movement...

What you need is the old Palladium book "Compendium of Weapons, Armor & Castles". I think that's the title. It was a blue softback with a jousting knight on the cover. This thing is the end-all-be-all of RPG weapons. I got it years ago and I still pull it out when someone asks what a certain...

I had the same thought a few months ago. I was thinking this might be a fun thing to do at gencon. Here's my conversion of one of the robots in that module: http://chrischalfant.blogspot.com/2005/05/d20-futurestar-frontiers.html I might have some more stuff on my PC at home. I'll post more if...

It was a joke based on a cool idea. I think The Rock would make a great Kraven--especially the Kraven in the Ultimate Spiderman. His WWE experience would be great for the part. The pic slays me though. You should have seen the one he did of Doc Ock being played by Elton John back when Spiderman...

I just moved into a new research building. It's really nice. They have this polished marble everywhere. Even in the bathroom. In fact, if you are at the urinal and you look down to your left, you can see an almost perfect reflection of the toilet seat in the next stall. So now, nobody uses...

How about the travel-by-copy concept? I've read some sci-fi where they have FTL communication (or just light-speed) communication but no FTL drives. So they make an exact copy of the traveller's mind and transmit this data to the destination. There, they "download" the copy into a body (could be...

I was baffled by this mystery, too. Another mystery--why was the field in such crappy condition Monday night?

A friend of mine came up with this when he heard there would be a Spiderman 3:
