    City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn IX

    A large half orc walks into the bar and proceeds up to the barkeep asking about bouncer employment. He looks like he's been in many a tussle, and in fact wears chain mail festooned with spikes. buzzard

    The top 100 'Sacred Cows' of Roleplaying

    Once again the inability of net humor to function rears it's ugly head. Read the initial post and response. He said players cannot die, not PCs. Methinks that's a touch different. Hmm, sacred cow. I don't want to contribute to the peeve tirade which is passing for sacred cows. How about...

    Where's everyone vacationing this year?

    My parents used to have a timeshare there for a long time. It's really quite a nice island. buzzard

    Where's everyone vacationing this year?

    If you have not been to Sanibel yet, I reccomend McTs, which is a real good seafood joint on the main drive (turn right after coming onto the island, don't recall which side of the street though, been a few years). I have no major vacations planned myself. A short trip to Phoenix for a game...

    How did you pick a wireless plan?

    I shopped around for the cheapest plan possible because I: A) Don't like cell phones, but have to have one for a variety of reasons though I barely use it B) Forget to carry it much of the time in any case. This I went with a plan which is 60 normal minutes with a bunch of weekend minutes...

    Why the lack of 3rd party adventures

    I suppose there are a fair number of adventures out there. In fact I am using one set of them. However my concerns have to do with how they feel to be lacking because of all the WotC content which I am accustomed to which is not present. From LG I am used to using the majority of WotC rules, yet...

    Do Adjustments To Core RAW Often Meet With Resistance In Your RPGing Group?

    Heck, most of my players don't know the rules well enough to notice when I do change something. They just like chewing the fat, rolling dice, and making off color jokes. D&D is something of an adjunct. buzzard

    Why the lack of 3rd party adventures

    I was thinking about this the other day and I believe I came up with a pretty good explanation. Sure, there is a fair selection of 3rd party adventure publishers, but given that WotC has decided to go back into the field due to what they perceive to be a lack of material, there must be some sort...

    Words you learned through D&D

    I'd have to say my EGG vocabulary lesson which stands out is the description of government types from the 1st ED DMG. Kleptocracy Meritocracy Theocracy etc. buzzard

    Wasted movie weekend.

    I am usually willing to wait through a boring part of a movie to see it improve. However when I find a movie painful (oh say, Rushmore), I will bail on it fairly early. Mind you, this is on DVD. When I pay theatre price, I generally won't leave (though have come mighty close). buzzard

    Wasted movie weekend.

    Fair enough, but I think of a Mel Brooks movie as one he directed and did the screenplay for. You know, Blazing Saddles, The Producers (68), High Anxiety, Young Frankenstein, etc. I've come to really attach more importance to directors in recent years. buzzard

    Blue Ray or HD-DVD?

    That's certainly true. I was only thinking in terms of video. For storage they are both quite nice, but as I said, my progressive scan DVDs look just fine right now. buzzard

    Blue Ray or HD-DVD?

    Maybe once one camp wins I'll bother caring but for the moment, I am quite disinterested. Sure, I do have an HD monitor and all that good stuff, but honestly the resolution from a progressive scan DVD right now is plenty good. This is definitely a case of just not seeing the point. buzzard

    Ransom for Retirement (El Jefe Judging)

    Not that it particularly matters at this point, but Lupic isn't in his armor, so can't use armor spikes. buzzard

    Scientists Shout Out!

    I have a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering. My Thesis focused on solidification during steelmaking. At times I claim to be the resident ENWorld metallurgist. However I no longer work in the field. buzzard
