Not quite the same sort of running gag as the ones previous, but in my college Forgotten Realms campaigns there was a particular inn at a crossroads a few days travel out of Waterdeep. The players enemies caught up with them at this inn a few times and attacked them. It became a running gag...

That's just cheesy.

I'm no expert on the "Potterverse" but perhaps JKR is setting up for another series of books where Dumbledore is reincarnated, grows old enough to go to Hogwarts and kicks off a new series of adventures.

That episode, IIRC, also contained one of my favorite Scotty lines which went something like "Lad, if you want em to think you're a miracle worker you never tell em how long it's really going to take!" It is advice that has served me well in my IT career. RIP Scotty.

So he did, I don't know why I didn't notice it. My mistake. Sorry.

Doesn't Kalamar qualify? It has the actual D&D logo on it instead of just being a d20 product.

Well,

Yeah, but

I know he wrote some novels a while back that were about sailing -- not military sailing but just modern folks with sailboats from what I understand. I've never read them though. I remember reading an interview with him and he basically admitted to having a formula that he followed for each...

I don't really like most of the characters, but they're interesting to watch and that's really all that's required for good TV. Given how many other things on the show are not that different from what we have now, I don't have a problem with using real world arms as props. It just adds to...

SPOILERS: if you haven't been keeping up with these shows, spoilers for the previous seasons follow... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Battlestar Galactica: The deal with the arrow is that the President has been, depending on your view of things, either going nuts or guided by a...

I ran published settings for most of my DM career but switched to homebrew several years ago. I like doing it, but I don't have the time to develop it the way I want so I've decided to go with a published setting again just to save time. I'm really feeling ambiguous about it at the moment...

Yeah, but that sort of thing takes a while to work its way through the system so to speak. Even if the US got some of those guns as soon as the empire collapsed, it would take time to incorporate them into a ship and make sure they tied into all the other stuff on the ship safely, that there...

I didn't remember a whole lot about it, just that it existed. Some friends showed it to me back in the early-mid 90s when I was in college and they were trying to get me into anime. It also has what is possibly my favorite line ever in anime when the police chief is arguing with the mayor or...

While it sounds like some interesting stuff is coming up, I really wish they'd get away from this habit of making "science fiction" shows that are just our world with a twist and start making more shows that take place in space and in the future like Battlestar Galactica or Babylon 5. I know...

Atmosphere. I find I really like books (fantasy or not) with atmosphere. It doesn't have to be a travelogue to do this. Just including the right comments and descriptions in the right places can do this just as well. I just like atmosphere like a lot of people like action. It is for this...

Didn't Dominion Tank Police have a lot of vehicle combat? I can't remember since it's been at least 10 years since I saw it. Also, there was an interesting anime one of my roommates showed me in college. It was about big robots, but it was evidently some sort of alternative WWII and these...

I hadn't heard anything about this. I thought everyone was vulnerable. Anyway, I wonder what the implications of this are. Does this lead to a vaccine to prevent people from getting AIDS in the first place? Can it be used to cure someone already infected? I'm afraid I'm a bit ignorant...

I called the number my caller id said the call came from. I got the main switchboard for a local air force base. I hope that meeting wasn't something really important like stopping Dr. Evill from destroying the world or something.

:confused: There are two Captain Marvels? I didn't know that. I guess it's time to have a talk with my comic expert friend to get the story on this. He may have mentioned this a few weeks back when he was telling me about Captain Marvel but I don't remember. My mind was too boggled by all...
