    MIC - Tell me about runestaffs

    Used one yesterday, my wizard was nearly out of spells, and facing three rider dragons with riders. Our Cleric Greater Commanded two of the dragons away (bad rolls by the GM). The wizard ordered his group to run, then used the Staff of Evocation to Force Wall in front of the 3rd dragon- "hay...

    Do number of posts matter to you?

    I could careless about my post count. I respond when I feel I should (sometimes when I shouldn't) and have something to say (good, bad or otherwise). Something that gets me is the non Mods that have thousands of posts (say over 8,000) in just a couple of years. How-? And more importantly-...

    Medical Transcription and working from home

    Just cause I am hoping someone that works from home will pipe in and talk about a job that I can do in my free time while tending to my little girl. I would rather not have to put her in day care, go back to work and not know my daughter in ten years, or worse yet, her not care about us. Can...

    Stargate SG-1 Series Finale

    Blah, the finale was lame. Slow, and boring, I was hoping they would have some- "okay, this is it, lets rock this joint!" action, but instead they have a couple ship battles that were akin to a Star Trek episode. And T- what the heck, he comes back, and where is the younger version? What...

    Would you play your game here?

    Nope Main reason- my wife and daughter. My wife is kinda a slouch when it comes to staying awake, so she needs a bed to crawl into when she starts falling asleep. Next our daughter, kinda a drag, but well worth the energy, she needs her own space, place, access to food, bottles, etc. Now...

    Screen names and first impressions

    I tend to think of past experiences with people/posters, and not so much about what the name invokes in me when I read/hear it. Course, I tend not to judge at first sight, let the experience with the people dictate how I feel about them.

    Anyone ever play with a female DM?

    My first GM (back then she was called a DM) was female. My wife has GMed in the past, but not for a while, and not regular like. At a con a few years back I played in an Exalted game GMed by a female. They are just like male GMs- some good and some bad.

    Happy Dad's Day

    Thanks Mega, hay and right back at you (if I recall correctly). One of my fellow players last night gave me a card (she's really good about that kind of thing). While my wife seemingly forgot to take our daughter to the store to pick out a card for me (like I did for her on Mom's Day). Had a...

    stupid warning labels and disclaimers...

    About, oh 10 years ago we got some tools on a job, at lunch time the boss brought us the instructions while he was laughing. I am not sure of the exact wordage but the Skilsaw said something about- 'blade turns at 1800 rpms, can cause serious damage to flesh." A nail gun- "this tool may cause...

    Medical Transcription and working from home

    I have done a lot of research on work from home jobs, and found that medical transcription is one of the few real things you can do. A community college here in Salinas had a weekend course last year that cost about $500, and they wanted you to sign a 6 month contract to work only for them...

    What do you think D&D is missing?

    Off the top of my head, and only time for one right now- A person can go from a 120 hp to 1 hp and not have any ill effects (unless its role played of course).

    Isn't Success in D&D Dependent Upon Murder?

    Not sure how to start this, but... I have been respnsible for thousands perhaps billions of deaths in gaming as a GM and a Player (there were nukes involved), so I get it, but am I a murderer now? Not for that reason. Presently we are in a campaign were a village is threatened by a group of...

    What must one do to be "evil" alignment?

    A hermit that is evil, but never been around people to commit an evil act. Thoughts of evil do not make one evil, its the actions that you take that make for evil deeds. So thinking about mowing down a bunch of people with a lawn mower isn't evil, but doing it is. As I understand- the PCs go...

    GURPS or HERO?

    I started playing Hero in the early '80s and didn't stop until the early '90s, playing Champions mainly with a few shots at Fantasy that I was unimpressed with. Champions I loved, it had a great feel, though some of the rules we Housed to make a few things work more logically. (Shh- don't tell...

    The problem with elves take 2: A severe condemnation [merged]

    I can see your point on the Elves, but... well, we kinda House Ruled their ages back, cause the twenty years of diapers (or whatever it was) was just to much tow swallow. I have always thought that- hay, the elves live hundreds of years, and were more then likely in this land before anyone else...

    Meditation aids?

    Meditation isn't all about getting into perfect harmony with the universe, its about total relaxation without going to sleep. :D Try just laying flat on a comfortable surface, quiet back ground, fingers on your chest, listen to your breathing, in through the nose and out through the mouth...
