I would guess that it's meant to be read as a sequence of rows, with some transformation rule between rows. You're intended to infer the transformation rule and use that to extrapolate the symbols from previous and subsequent rows. Significantly, note that there are no complete rows (which would...

It seems like everything strange happens within a couple weeks of a full moon.

Fantastic and supernatural, not the same things.

Well, every day you read about spontaneous explosions in the paper.

No - if something exists, it's natural. Calling something "supernatural" is way of saying it isn't real without actually admitting to oneself that it isn't.

If they're in a pond, they're not too likely to be toads, are they? Gestern nacht ist meine Fröschin explodiert ich hatte nicht damit grechnet darum bin ich schleimverschmiert

WebRPG probably worked best, but after it became a pay service we mostly used Yahoo Messenger with Netmeeting for mapping and a dice rolling client/server that I wrote. We briefly tried IRC and OpenRPG but most of our players couldn't get them to work.

Kahlua worked for me.

I stopped drinking soda regularly (maybe once, twice a week now) and I think I lost maybe a pound or so, not that I have a lot of excess to lose though.

Ghost Tours, Vampire Tours, Voodoo Tours, Swamp Tours, Tour Tours

I'm not even in that field, and I was thinking "this sounds like a pretty familiar old approach" I'm not sure they're written so much to give people hope as to get people to watch the news and generate publicity for the research. I don't object to reporting on research, but the term...

I think we always had 3 players as a quorum, but everyone was aware that PCs as NPCs had very high mortality rates, especially after several no-show sessions. I've got some good news and some bad news - while you were gone, your character got killed. No, wait, wait... there was a wand of...

Sounds like eBay-style marketing. Probably just put a sticker on it that said "Special Edition" and added $10 to the price.

"I say, Percy, isn't that Lady von Bittelsberg over there!" "Where, where!" [run, run, run] "That's not Lady von Bittelsberg, milord, it looks more like...a hungry ... ah... AHHH!" "[run, run] Oh, sorry, my mistake! [run, run]"
