    Best fantasy names in literature

    One of my favorite names in Erickson's Malazan series is the character Gruntle. Much like Cook, the nicknames he gives his soldiers really make them fun to read about - especially since both of them don't always go into great detail about how the characters ended up with them.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Heh - I was that guy back in my Rocky Horror days... I had a reputation for being able to pull half a show out of my Rocky Bag at a moment's notice. Sewing supplies, duct tape, electrical tape, gaffer's tape, makeup, hand props, extension cord, whatever you needed to solve your emergency... Just...

    Digging up a small section of the yard today, I uncovered enough damn stones that my next project is going to be building a henge... :rolleyes:

    Yeah, those Vallejo sets are nice - I know a lot of folks who love their metallics.

    Trash TV Secret Shame

    It was funny as hell to see him reacting to the video of Elizabeth Zharoff from The Charismatic Voice reacting to his song... She's another great one - she's got such an expressive face and totally geeks out over vocal techniques... And she plays D&D, lol.

    Trash TV Secret Shame

    I don't watch random tv anymore since I cancelled my cable and unplugged from the idiot box almost two decades ago... But before that, I did like to watch shows like Pawn Stars, American Pickers, Storage Wars, and Antiques Road Show. Not necessarily trash but about the only things I'd really...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Apparently this is a novel concept to some people, but I've always thought it best to actually assess things, find out the actual truth and the facts, and then adopt those as my point of view/opinion/stance/whatever...

    D&D General Is Your DM Out to Get You? [Humor]

    Your players are clearly snowflakes - are you sure they didn't just melt? :p I once got grief from a group who begged me to run a game for them (after I got tired of them turning every adventure into Dumb & Dumber meets Monty Python & the Holy Grail) and promised to keep it serious this...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    I did a quick-and-dirty mod one of the Reaper zombie survivors (80022: Berkeley) years ago... I call her Ashley. She was originally holding the chainsaw w/ both hands. She's first-gen Bones material, so the detail was sketchy (she's actually missing her nose, so I sort of painted one on)...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    It was part of the Briarwood Vale Expansion from Bones 6, you might find one for sale somewhere online (ebay, etsy, mercari, etc.) but it'll probably be coming out for general release sometime in the next year... I think a dark purple glaze on the wings might make them pop more without too much...

    Well, if you do get kidnapped by Bigfoot, remind him he still hasn't given me back my 3.5 DMG...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I had a 4E warforged druid who was fluffed as a genius loci that had decided it had had enough of being a war-torn battlefield and grew a tree up through a suit of armor, grabbed some nearby weapons, and set out to share its pain with the folks who'd despoiled it. All of the animals it turned...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Damn... I really need to get back to painting my lighthouse again, but priorities have been reprioritized and another project has taken precedence. (I have a plan (we all know how that goes, lol) to do it as a night scene lit solely by OSL from moonlight (about a 70-degree angle) and the lit fire.

    Today I learned +

    A teenager, sure. But I've never been a dumb teenager - my problem was being too smart for my own good. :p (I protested my mother's smoking by blowing up her ashtrays with homemade firecrackers when I was ten...)

    Today I learned +

    Right around the time the whole "Snek." thing got big on the internet, I had to restrain a mid-teenage girl from continuing to chase a snake while going, "Snek. Snek. Snek-snek-snek-snek." like she was going to get it to turn around and come lick her hand... She was chasing after a damn timber...

    D&D General Do you track ammunition?

    Personally, I always track my own character's ammo. As a DM I only do it when it could be a valid concern - the aforementioned weeklong trek through the jungle with no chance to resupply, running battle fleeing from a gnoll horde, nine-day seige, etc.... I always let my players know when...
