And I'm pretty sure I saw Gillian Anderson in that trailer.... Johnathan

Jeffery Deaver has a series of thrillers (The "Kathryn Dance" series - four novels to date) based on that concept - she's a member of the California Bureau of Investigation, and she's an expert on interrogation and kinesics. Once she sets up a baseline, she can tell when a person is lying...

Answered riddles, entered Forbidden Lands. Johnathan

According to his Dragon and Dungeon co-workers I talked to at Gen Con a couple of decades ago, he can belt out a pretty mean version of Chumbawamba's "Tubthumpin'" - but you need to get a couple of beers in him first. Johnathan

Well, good for Chris - he's a great guy. I hope he enjoys his post-retirement career (or chosen lack thereof). Johnathan

It's a little early for the 100 best books of the 21st century, though, isn't it? Shouldn't we finish out the century first? Or was the list compiled by time travelers? Johnathan

Sure - just not in the same sandwich. Johnathan

This isn't particularly unusual as sandwiches go, but I've been told I need to cut down on the carbs and to drop the white bread. I noticed at the grocery store last week that wheat bread and honey wheat bread have the same number of carbs, so I went with the honey wheat, which I'd never had...

Judge Judy's shrill, harpylike voice puts my nerves on edge. I can't even be in the same room when my wife watches her show. Johnathan

Hey, now! Johnathan

I gave up cable years ago, but when I'm on a business trip, I usually check the TV in my hotel to see if it gets MTV, so I can catch a couple episodes of Ridiculousness. It's not quite the same without Chanel West Coast, but it's still my guilty pleasure when I just want some mindless...

I've used Of Sound Mind in two separate campaigns. As for adventures from Dragon and Dungeon, I've used "Gorgoldand's Gauntlet" in two campaigns and ditto for "Challenge of Champions II." Johnathan

In today's "Dreams of Erthe" campaign session, the PCs: Entered the drow city of Spiraclast, where the ancestor worship practiced by the dark elves includes having their dead family members raised as undead so they can continue being productive members of the city populace Were noticed by a few...

Attacked by jealous mummy lords. Johnathan

My "to be read" pile is getting kind of small, and I'm now down to the books I picked up at a library book sale because they might be good. So now I'm reading Sins of the Night, a "Dark-Hunter" novel by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I have six of these, and while I thought at first they might be two sets...
