I have a bunch of Altoids tins I keep my micro machines star wars figures in that I use for Traveller games, one tin for robots, one for rebel officers, one for stormtroopers, one for *sigh* gungans, etc. My ancient CarWars pocket box games and expansions are all kept inside of an old army...

I like a better than human fantasy world to play in; I want my players to be able to swim up waterfalls and walk on clouds like the heroes in the epic myths could, once they reach suitable level of course :) I figure the skills balance out the other impossible things in the game, like the...

Crunch or Fluff?

Another one in the please don't prune camp. A lot of times a search on a subject will give me a good dozen threads a year or more old that answer my questions or give me a lot of fresh perspectives (yeah, I know the irony of 'year or more old' and 'fresh perspectives' :) ).

I'll vote for "killing things and taking their stuff" as a 2nd choice as well. My first choice is surprisingly not on the list: Ale and Whores!

No, they taste just like calamari. And halflings taste like chicken.

Right! We'll put an end to this here and now! KLAATU VERADA N... Necktie... Nickel... It's an "N" word, it's definitely an "N" word!

I can't remember ever meeting a gamer that didn't think he or she was superior to almost everyone else. And while most were in fact better educated (and that was probably just because of the population I hung around, college students), they were from what I can remember no different from any...

I was always a fan of mythology and fantasy growing up, and along about '77 when I was 12 I saw the Rankin-Bass The Hobbit cartoon on TV. My mother got one of her student friends at the University (she was a senior secretary in the main dormitory housing office) to check a copy of the book out...

I'd produce a gargantuan boxed mega adventure with maps and handouts and a book about the size of Midnight that would be a globe-spanning adventure instead of relying on months-long dungeon crawls; and there'd be tons of city and hamlet encounters and entire chapters devoted to the wilderness...

Just got around to checking my mail and found an email from Bob Fitch of Blizzard telling me I was the winner in the drawing for his prize of a signed game to a community donor! I just wanted to publicly express my thanks to him for his generosity; and a big thank you to all the other donors...

Thanks for the replys, folks! I think I'm just about persuaded. I'll take a long, hard look at it the next time I'm in my FLGS and probably pick it up. If I can quit spending my game money on boosters :)

Human nature. I've noticed and I'm sure most other people have as well that there are a lot of people that think anything they are not personally interested in is stupid, childish, or silly. Thinik of the web chart that gets linked to from time to time that shows the geek heirarchy, and how each...

Happy birthday to you both, and many returns!

Congrats to you and your wife and good work at being persistent! It took me 6 years to get mine to make an honest man out of me; congrats to hanging in there!

I will admit right off the bat to having a huge prejudice against this sort of setting. I believe it probably was instilled within me back in college when I shared an apartment with Spud Ninja, Anime Porn Guy, and Bushido Boy and the original OA came out. Bad enough that all they ever wanted to...

Yep, just no one like Machine Gun Joe Viterbo :)

About what I though, 500-600mg on a typical day off, and 1600-2000mg on a night at work. I've often said that without a gram of caffeine in me, I don't feel human.

*Slluuuuuuurpppp!* Thanks, Trainz, a very happy leech here!

There's always Death Race 2000, where Frankenstein's hand screws off to make a hand grenade. I'd imagine an enterprising gnome or dwarf could make a prosthetic that was full of alchemists fire, or maybe the individual fingers snap off and can be used as thunderstones. Or think of a vest or...
