Was that the one where the creature was created out of -- apparently -- nothing by nukular waste dumped in the ocean, not three miles off the shore, and then it waded ashore and started killing people at pajama parties? Cuz I actually saw that one. With Mike and the Bots, thank someone, but...

That chakram thing was the yo-yo of DOOM, and Cadderly got it from the halflings of yore. To put it another way, that one book was by R.A. Salvatore, and the other book was by Gary Gygax (I think). But Greyhawk does not suffer from an overabundance of uber characters; one of the problems with...

Where are you living? Cuz I'm in Knoxville, I've got Comcast basic cable, and I get to enjoy SG1 tonight (or I would if I weren't going to run my group through the uber-bad yuan-ti dungeon under Hochoch). And Firefly. It's really interesting that Comcast would do that in your place, but not...

I remember I checked a book out of the school library when I was in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade -- all I can remember is it was very much a "Choose-Your-Own" book, and while I was reading it on the bus home I made choices that ended up with the protagonists killed by a bugbear. It was a...

The Stupid! It Burns, Precious!! Jeez, that's about as bad as the episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where everyone is "de-evolving" into all kinds of different things. Barclay (Barclay!!) is turning into a spider-thing. Okay, I didn't know that humans evolved from arthropods... surely...

The ranger/horizon walker in my group, after casting summon nature's ally I: "I drop-kick the octopus!" Me, the Jedi: The Force can have a great influence on the weak-minded. :cool: My brother, the Wookiee: Why do you look at me when you say that? :mad: TWK

Someone said lightsabers ignore armor. I recall this rule from the book, but I don't think it's borne up by the movies. If I may put on my hat of SW geekiness, near the end of the duel on Cloud City, Luke tags Vader on the right shoulder. Vader cries out and grabs his shoulder, but he's not...

Yes, it does. Twice. I kid you not. It was a bad pun, anyway. TWK

Whoa... tough crowd... [cricket, cricket] TWK

Seriously though, This same guy dithers and frets about new things, and comes up with really bizarre worst-case scenarios. I think it's partly because he isn't familiar with a lot of the game's tropes. Frex, he spent about 15-20 minutes arguing why it would be a bad idea to open that old...

A'ight, time's up! Let's do this! LEEEEEEEROYYYYY JENKINS!!! :p :p :p :p :lol: :lol: :lol: TWK

Another one of my players hasn't played D&D much since 3E came out. He's got a sorcerer, and he doesn't include me (the DM) in his decisions. He recently leveled up to 9th, and neglected to let me know which spell he took. This, I can live with; I'll just ask him. But sometimes he comes up...

I'm not trying to bash anyone's religion here, of course. I think my friend is being kind of foolish, but then again, he's got a kind of moral consistency. Someone asks him, "Do you play D&D?" he can say, "Well, I usetacould." I just don't think it's going to come up. I mean, I can't recall...

Well, at one point in my campaign, the PCs tracked a missing elf-child to the lair of a mated pair of displacer beasts. After dispatching the beasts (the paladin yelled, "Surrender!" and proceeded to roll 3 natural 20s on a single attack) they discover the young girl and the beasts' offspring...

So I'm reading along in the 25th anniversary book of "Against the Giants" about the stronghold of the frost giants, and there's an encounter with a sleuth of grizzly bears. The first thought through my head was, man, they can use that one to work out who killed their leader! Yes, the mystery is...

Whoops, sorry. My bad. But it does stretch my own suspension when Luke et al come out of the trash compactor smelling like roses, or Spock swings this huge honkin' weapon at Kirk, who gets an itsy-bitsy, teeny-tiny, sexy scratch across his recently-shorn chest. I actually thought that Peter...

No they don't. I give you the stereotypical Trekkie. He doesn't bathe, and he's never kissed a girl. TWK

Great post, Sigil! I wish more people could distinguish between real and imaginary. I think, then, that we'd have fewer people angry about things like D&D and Harry Potter, and fewer people also slavishly devoted to Star Trek, Star Wars, &c. and upset that such things can't come to pass. I...

Hey all, Recently one of my friends sold almost all of his fantasy game books. I'm talking several versions of D&D, Warhammer, Palladium (including Rifts), All Flesh Must Be Eaten, etc. I asked him why, and he said he was worried that it would damage his cred when he was witnessing to someone...
