I think you have to "ignore" them the old fashioned way, without computer assistance.

Jaws has clearly taken the title of expert picker. Even when I get 13 right, I still lose ground to him in the overall scores.

From what little I watched, the show did not seem too bad. I just don't watch much TV and a show has to be very good for me to watch it regularly. I still can't believe no one can find a good show for Carla Gugino. She was the reason I tried Threshold over Invasion and Surface. They should...

Great suggestion. I have not run this adventure yet, but am waiting for the opportunity. Perfectly designed as a one-shot. Be sure none of your players is familiar with it, the biggest fun of the adventure depends on a secret.

My current favorite is sorcerer, and not just because I'm playing a 13th level sorc. I don't play enough, and I decided a couple of years ago to be certain that I should try to play every core class at least once. The sorc I'm playing is still the first one I have played. Remaining on my to...

Another "me too" for no problems with Amazon. But I have read and heard plenty of complaints about them. The common denominator seems to be pre-ordering, before a product is released. Amazon likes to predict release dates, sometimes with little basis in reality, and seems to do a poor job of...

I wouldn't say I make an active point of choosing not to answer the phone, but close to it. I just don't jump and run to the phone when I hear it ring. If I am doing nothing else or the phone is nearby, I will check to see who is calling. If I want to talk to them, I will answer. Otherwise, I...

I don't have any new shows to suggest, but I had never heard of Avatar and am now curious. I checked and noted that NIK is airing a marathon on Thanksgiving day. I may set the VCR and see what this is all about.

I enjoyed 1602, and am a fan of the Marvel characters. For some reason I like these "Elseworld" stories, probably because the writers can actually make effective changes and character development. I've grown tired of the unchanging superhero universes, so I usually only read these closed-ended...

1. pee (why do others wait? this is important!) 2. shower 3. shave (you heathens who shave before showering have it all wrong!) 4. wake up 2 oldest sons for school 5. get dressed 6. check to see if boys are dressed, help if needed, while checking email and weather.com 7. get breakfast for boys...

People have become hypersensitive about cell phones. As others have mentioned, it may have been a little rude of your wife to have a conversation on her cell phone, but this was only rude to you and her other dining companions. As long as her voice was truly at normal level, it did not affect...

Left front: cell phone, chap stick Right front: keys Left rear: wallet Right rear: empty Spare change is to be placed in the right front pocket.

Sorry you missed the week, Dimwhit. I've come close a couple of times, once only getting my picks in within the hour before games began. My office pool has a year-end winner, with 10% of each week's pot going into the year-end pot. One can miss a few weeks, as I think we allow you to drop your...

I wear a watch, but only during work hours, usually Monday thru Friday, about 7 am to 5 pm (from the time I leave the house until I get home). The rest of the time, I just look at my cell phone. But now reading this thread I realize that this makes no sense. I got into the habit of wearing a...

I must add Teleport to the list. When my sorcerer got teleport he truly began to feel powerful to me. The ability to just vanish, and show up hundreds of miles away, in some safe haven, changes the game. I dreaded it for this reason at first, but I have come to enjoy it.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your help. When I started this thread I was leaning heavily towards PS2. Thanks to you guys, my wife just walked out of Best Buy with Gamecube, using the package deal that WizarDru pointed out (extra thanks!). If you like, please continue to suggest...

Similar ideas to those already posted: A Game of Thrones RPG Spell Compendium Dragon Compendium And perhaps even more boring than a PDF under the tree, a pre-order for Ptolus. My mom will ask me what I want, and I will remind her to re-up my Dragon and Dungeon subscriptions.

Me too. I hate "me too" posts, but rvalle said it so well. Without the players' maps I don't know that I would be running WLD on Fantasy Grounds. Any future modules that I run on FG will also need players' versions of all maps.

Very helpful advice, WizarDru. The links look great, and I wll check them out when we start figuring out what games to buy. I'm pretty certain at this point that Gamecube is the choice. The only games I'm sure about are Mario Kart and Mario Party. Where do I look for this deal?

Another point to consider with a kid-friendly campaign is religion. Churches and evil cults play a large part in a lot of D&D adventures. I try to downplay this aspect when I game with my kids, because I feel like the subject can be a little too much for them. My kids are probably younger than...
