    Dexter's alignment (possible spoilers- discussing seasons 1&2)

    I think he'd move to a higher crime rate city with decent areas to dispose of the 'trash'. Without giving much away of season 2, he does get one scene where he cleans up in a foreign country.

    How old were you when you started playing D&D?

    I was 9 and the year was 1981. My mom got me into the game. She thought it would help me bond with other kids. It did, but it also gave me a love of reading improving my vocabulary. It looks like the majority started in their teens. I'm going to have to remember that when thinking what...

    Women and Children first?

    At least for my gnolls, which I base off Hyenas, there is no sexual dimorphism. Females are right there in the thick of the fighting. They can afford this risk because they are clever hunters and the pack rarely takes risks. They are only dangerous to the weak. My orcs though have sexual...

    Dexter's alignment (possible spoilers- discussing seasons 1&2)

    At least in the second season, I'd have to argue he does have attachments (Rita, the kids, & Deb) and genuine feelings (since he has feelings I'd argue he does have compassion..it is just questionable how much...after all he doesn't torture his victims beyond just reminding them why they are...

    Please donate to see a world without HIV/AIDS

    Ok it is a charity form letter...but it includes all the links I needed, so I copied & pasted. Basically as outlined below, I am participating in an AIDS walk in Houston and can use all the donations I can get. So...how generous is Enworld? A message from Sterling Keener...

    Tower shopping! For the wizard who has everything...

    I'd also like to toss in Covenants. I mean if you are looking for classical wizardly stuff...Ars Magica is the resource to tap: Covenants As there are four seasons in a year, there are four seasons in the life of a covenant ... This supplement, published in 1990 by Lion Rampant, was the...

    Dexter's alignment (possible spoilers- discussing seasons 1&2)

    murdered is probably the wrong word....assassinated is probably the better term. and some organizations believe that assassination is fine for the good of society. the Doakes issue this year probably highlights it. Doakes was taking out people, but he was doing it with the Law's blessing...

    Dexter's alignment (possible spoilers- discussing seasons 1&2)

    Good point, but besides the killing people, the frame job is the first evil act I've seen. And for awhile he was thinking about not going through with it... this is the first time Harry's code didn't prepare him for something like this...a crisis and one we'll never know if he could have gone...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo shipping and customer service

    I've only had good service. When something didn't arrive, they sent another. During x-mas, I changed an order 3 times via customer service and they got the order right. I had one order delayed, but it is finally shipping. They've always responded to my emails though it has taken a few...

    Cops looting bodies?

    Harmonium officer...ouch that is rough. The real issue is corruption. As long as the officers are not purposely picking rich people to shake down, I think the officer could take their stuff...a good 'bad' example is Louisiana...pulling over rich cars, impounding the vehicle, selling it, and...

    Dexter's alignment (possible spoilers- discussing seasons 1&2)

    My wife and I just finished watching season 2 of Dexter and have been talking about it for four days now.... one of the recurring topics...what alignment is Dexter? In the first season, my wife and I thought Neutral. He breaks laws, but has a code. He kills, but only the bad guys in a cold...

    switching to Ubuntu

    My LinuxMCE trail was a bust. As with most linux installations it was the drivers that killed it. I'm going to have to plan this out a bit more. I can see why people (like my wife) per Macs than switching to Linux. My wife kept the kids occupied while I worked on the computer, but she...

    Countdown to the Realms: Magic in the Forgotten Realms

    :( I've 4 years of games tied to Unther, Mulhorand, Chessenta, Thay, Chondath, and Aglarond. I'm disappointed to know I won't be able to buy more material to use in these regions. My game will continue.

    Campaign Length

    When people say their campaign has been going on for 15+ years they are really talking about playing in the same world....a never ending soap opera adventure or a series of books that never end until the author dies and someone else finishes the tale *cough* Jordan.... Gamers today have a...

    Book lovers - what do you look for in an author's website?

    The sites I like have Glossaries Maps art -either covers or interior - and I don't mind fan art as long as the author is fine with the depiction list of their favorite authors I also like to know the status on current works....i.e. if I'm going to have to wait forever and a day for the next...

    switching to Ubuntu

    Thanks for the ideas and the good general advice for any OS! I think I'm going to give LinuxMCE a try. Hopefully I'll get to try it this weekend. I'll post back my experiences. Thanks

    switching to Ubuntu

    I'm considering switching to Ubuntu. I know I can get OpenOffice for my office needs (already use it), but I currently use my xp64 as a media server (I have a Dlink DSM-520.) Any good websites on how to build a mediaserver that a dlink media server can access? Then I am going to need to...

    What's with the sexy githyanki?

    I'm a Gith lover...but that picture does nothing for me... probably because it is a red head. I just don't find red heads sexy.
