    Doctor Who Season 2--10/13/06

    My daughter had never seen the earlier K9 episodes but fell in love with the character immediately. We all agreed that this was an excellent episode. We were a Buffy fans so seeing Anthony Head as a bad guy was a blast!

    DM-dependent PC abilities

    One of the best GMs I've ever played with was one of my first group back in 79. He is vocal about preferring 1e and sees no point in all the added things since. What actually occurs in play, in his homebrew campaign is that he provided lots of what was later incorporated into the rules. he...

    How do you tell a fellow player he can't pick a particular feat for his PC?

    Driddle did reply; see below. He did not answer the questions and then dismisses the entire discussion, (I paraphrase how I took his comments) "It is done, I have stated it is done. You may move on, nothing to see here." The questions were directed to Driddle as an example of the suggested...

    How do you tell a fellow player he can't pick a particular feat for his PC?

    [edited to be on topic] There are no sub-optimal choices, only sub-optimal play utilizing the character based on those choices. Way back when, in the early 80's, one of our GMs thought that spells should be granted by a mentor based on the charisma reaction to the now departing apprentice...

    Transatlantic Sports Comparrisons (formerly Explain American football to me)

    This is the real reason for US football. There is some support for watching cheerleaders but tailgating is the primary reason football is as popular as it is. ;)

    [October] What are you wearing?

    HAHA, I'm wearing blue chucks! Only reason I got them was the place was out of black hitops and my old ones were worn through the heel and the small toe! Chucks rule! Levi Straight leg jeans, a red T from Old Navy, it was on sale. :P

    Interesting development....

    Definitely good luck! Based on past experience IF any one has a gripe about your promotion tell them to find out why they were not chosen and you will help them work on that so they have a better shot at this job when you get promoted again! ;)

    Eragon Trailer

    Eragon was written by a young man for children and was a hit novel. It has nothing to do with Pern. :)

    Dead Man's Chest hits $1 Billion

    Pirates of the Caribbean did well, Haunted Mansion sucked and the Bear Jamboree was horrible. Not sure if they have tried any others.

    Fantasy Recommended Reading

    I loved the first trilogy but the character was so despicable that I never wanted to read anything about him again. Excellent writing to engender such strong feeling.

    This is a little embarassing, but I need to get this off my chest...

    K, I'm not embarrassed but my wife and child may be at times. ABBA so rules. No one had so many fun qualities at the same time. Agnetha and Frida, the costuming, that wonderful 'choreography' they came up with. Benni and Bjorn came up with some great music. They just make me smile. Dean...

    Speaking in "faux old English" [Poll]

    in a PBem campaign I once had a cleric facing undead present his holy symbol to them and exclaim, "Avaunt thee to Hell and Perdition!" The DM replied, "I guess that means you are turning them. yep, I checked dictionary.com. Cool." That's about the only times I use that. So, since everyone...

    Would you play D&D if the sacred cows were sacrificed?

    I would continue to play D&D, whether it is 3.5 or previous versions. I think D&D should keep the whole herd. ;)

    How do you tell someone that they smell?

    At a job I had in the past I was managing a shift. One day, a fellow came in with a distinct body ofor. This was not typical, luckily, but was incredibly bad so that even in a large room with insufficient ventilation the odor reached the entire workspace. Also, he was training some poor guy...
