I'm half way through the sequel now. This would be a wonderful campaign setting. I guess that's not surprising considering the author also writes in the RPG industry.

The best reason to like it: It's a B action movie with no less than two United States Governors in it.

Nooooooooo! Ah, who am I kidding. Even after the Star Wars debacle I'll still go see this.

I went to a friend's birthday party this weekend. It was a big beer tasting party. Every person had to bring a six-pack of microbrew (as the invitation put it: "no budmilloors allowed"). I must have tried two-dozen beers. I think I tried most of Founders' (from Grand Rapids, MI) brews. Stone...

I went to bed about half-way through the 4th quarter after the Colts ran away with the game. A great day though, downtown was crazy busy!

Mar-vin Harr-i-sonnnnnn!!!!

Dallas Clark! Booya!!!!

Good pass defense by NO. . . . Yes, I've had a few beers, what of it!?

Ok, ten-seven New Orleans....

My coworkers and I hit Alcatraz (right across the street from The Ram for you Gen Conners out there) this evening to celebrate a software release and crowd-watch. You would not believe all the people who came out to downtown Indy today for the opening game festivities! There were people...

Red Seas Under Red Skies, the sequel to The Lies of Locke Lamora. Next up: Jennifer Morgue by Charles Stross. I also want to get the new Temeraire book by Naomi Novik.

It's very important in your toast to refer to all kinds of nasty embarrassing things about the groom but in such a subtle way that only those involved know what you are talking about.

You're in Waukegon? I'm trying to remember the name of this brewpub in Libertyville that I went to when I interned at Abbott. It was great. They had this wonderful Dopplebock called Scapegoat. That's not too far from you, isn't it? I think it was Mickey Finns.

This is what you do. Go to a local brewpub and buy their sampler. They are usually very inexpensive because they want to show off their beers and get you to order some. Many times if the place isn't that busy and you strike up a conversation with the bartender, they will give you free tastings...

I think this would be a blast. You might also be interested in Sundered Skies, a flying-ship setting coming out for Savage Worlds soon.

I prefer the "X the Y" pattern for my characters, especially wizards. Just pick a random adjective from a thesaurus. The freakier the better. http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/archive/2007/08/ Edmund the Quixotic Edmund the Bellicose Edmund the Plenipotentiary Edmund the Supernal...

Ooooh Fat Tire. We can't get it here in Indy. Anytime anyone I know goes west, I have them pick up several cases for me. All my attempts at cloning this beer have failed.

I think the best way to get non-gamers into the hobby is a simple, rules-light introduction. The indie horror game Dread is just the thing. A while back, our neighbor asked my wife why there were a bunch of cars parked outside every Thursday night. My wife (not a gamer) gave her the classic RPG...

I saw this at Gen Con and thought about getting it, but I had already spent over seventy bucks on Reign and Dogs in the Vineyard. After reading these threads, I ordered it last night. Wife: "Didn't you just buy a bunch of games at Gen Con?" Me: "Uh, yeah... But.. eh... I looked all over for it...
