    Google Earth

    That is fun. I wish they would do the 3d thing on the Sphinx or the Taj Mahal. Those would be fun to zoom around. Check out Windsor Castle, that sucker is big. They don't have Stonehenge, :\

    Movies that made an impression on me

    My daughter saw this last year, her first comment as it started was, "Where's the color? This movie isn't in color?" Afterwards, she really liked it. It gave her the idea that a movie in B&W can be entertaining. She also now likes Cary Grant. A long time ago our gaming group had a...

    Cage Match: Conan vs Tarzan TO THE DEATH!

    I think everyone should read one ERB Tarzan book and one REH Conan book starting this weekend. It has nothing to do with the poll but a damn fine way to spend some time. :cool:

    Interesting idea for of genre for a MMORPG

    I like that you are thinking about other genres. For the Western, how close to a FPS would it be? What would be done about jerks who create characters to run around and shoot randomly instead of trying to play a character. What would be the game view of the Indians? In the retro scifi...

    How RPGs changed one's life for the better.

    I met my wife and a future coworker and the fellow who would be our future boss at the same game of D&D. That job bounced us from NY to Key West to NC. just excellent! I've had some friends for the past quarter century due to D&D. It has been a great way to spend time with my family most...

    "A ten-foot wide hallway stretches thirty feet and then . . ."

    Way back we had one game where we entered a magical tunnel on a quest for our lord. Partway through, for some reason that I cannot recall we decided to turn around and head back out. I think it was goofball idea about getting some supplies that someone though would be useful. This tunnel was...

    "It's a joke name, sir."

    I once told my GM I was going against type and would play a 'serious gnome'. He said "Right." I created the character and he asked what it's name was. "Jedediah Bumblebutt, and this is his mule Amarylis. He's a prospector and has Spit Tobacco Juice as a ranged attack." I never tried that...

    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    One time a fine DM and player went bad... he came in, announced that he had just smoked a great joint outside and was ready to run! It was at my place, the DM chair was this big lving room chair with wide flat arms. With his announcement we players all looked at each other kinda underwhelmed...

    Is it just me...

    Yeah, everyone is saying how creepy the plastic King is! No one gets the product names wrong either, just read back in this thread... That is effective, albeit creepy, advertising. So, how are you going to use the BK in your campaign?

    I'm hot for Elastigirl

    We'll know when they feature it as the odd death of the week on CSI! The furry episode is a classic, and they've done clown lust, small people, heavy people, transgender, got/vampire and that weird DNA anomaly where one guy has two sets of DNA. It's a tossup as to whether CSI or Charmed have...

    Rate Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God (DVD Release Status: In Flux)

    "Elminster's Angels" anyone? Or convince Andy Sidaris (sp?) that Sword & Sorcery can make for a great action pic with babes and explosions!

    The Dungeons and Dragons II: Wraith of the Dragon God spoiler filled thread.

    Anything that was odd like the limit on clerical magic, the undead and the efficacy of drow blood is likely due to Solomon's homebrew. Could you have resisted putting in some of the cool stuff you've done if you had the rights to the movie? I don't know that I have that kind of artistic...

    The familiar seemed more like a figurine of wondrous power instead of a living creature.

    The Dungeons and Dragons II: Wraith of the Dragon God spoiler filled thread.

    Courtney has a lock on "D&D movie" from his deal with TSR. No idea how many movies he gets to make. Doing a decent job on the spells; I like the barbarian being so far out inthe run for the raft. :) Nice mention of the Tower of Inverness. I thought the D&D commercial was fine. It was...
