    Elven Flatulence

    Listen to the cast commentary on ROTK during the drinking game scene; Gimli confirms that elves fart like diesel engines. Pretty much explains why their robes and hair always seem to be blowing in the wind.

    David C. Sutherland III passed away (merged)

    Terrible news :( The old 1e PHB cover *is* what I think of when I think D&D.

    The Game Table

    Got a setup just like reveals. One table to game on, one to hold the computer and books and minis and stuff, both dragged out and set up in the den on game night. The rest of the time they are folded up out of the way in the garage.

    Weak Plothooks

    Sure. God knows I've thrown out a few stinkers now and then, and I've been playing a quarter of a century; if he's a noobie he ain't gonna get experience if you don't bite the bait. Heck, I've seen countless episodes of sitcoms, dramas, and movies that cost millions of dollars and that teams of...

    [Shameless pdf plug] When magic items strike back!

    Hell, I'll buy it just because someone has finally explained what happened to Damodar.

    What is the best party level to have a TPK?

    First level, when the party doesn't know better than to go pick on the Crazy Cat Lady and her deadly swarm!

    How do you determine a "Real Bad Dungeon Master"

    Preferably one that has a habit of going "AWOOOOWAwwwwooowawoooo" and "nyuck nyuck nyuck"

    Things that make you go hmmm.

    Very true; I've yet to see a dog fall out of a tree.

    Has your GM shocked you lately?

    Nah, we had the same reaction after seeing Attack of the Clones .... I was thinking more of MoJo JoJo... "Heroes shall not enter my dungeon. You are the heroes of the town. Being the heroes of the town, you are thus forbidden to enter my dungeon. This is the dungeon therefore that you shall...

    What movies have made you bawl?

    Good lord, what a list it is... Scent of a Woman, American Beauty, Goodfellas, Fargo, Pulp Fiction... hell, there are very few movies from the 90's that I didn't have to rewind the next day and watch again because I could only remember the first 10 or 15 minutes. First date my wife and I ever...

    The terms 'fluff' and 'crunch'

    I definitely think "Gamers Who Argue About Fluff/Crunch As Terminology" is giving "Furries" heavy competition for it's level in the Geek Hierarchy

    Core concept or rule that just bugs you beyond your ability to put up with it?

    A number of things listed peeve me to various degrees :) , one that hasn't been mentioned yet is the finality of the maximum age. You're a monk or druid with a timeless body that can know no disease, no poison, no aging, and no infirmities, and one day you are walking across the field...

    Just two good ole boys, never meanin' no harm...

    Yeah, but as signs go, it ranks slightly above the "No Parking Here Sign of the Apocalypse" and definitely below the "Slow Children Sign of the Apocalypse"

    ADnD 2nd ED VS. 3.5

    I stopped playing D&D at the end of 1e, probably as a result of burnout on DMing, lack of time, moving on to other things, and poverty giving the feeling that "great, they want me to pay them all over again for stuff I already have", much like the feeling some have expressed over 3.5 :) I...

    Extoll your hate of Valentine's Day (was: Extoll the virtues of your love!!)

    Must still be broken from the server move; it used to email you a link to a paypal account to make a "new server" donation with the threat to forward it on to your s.o. Wish things would get working properly around here!

    Is it wrong for a game to have an agenda?

    I would expect that most games with agendas would be about as successful at presenting them and as appealing to play as the moral lessons of an after school special. I'd probably avoid them like the plague, whether the agenda matched my personal beliefs or not; one of the reasons I roleplay is...

    I think I really like her

    Good luck! Best advice: don't let your wife find out about her.

    [POLL] Do you stat out every little detail?

    The few important NPCs (BBEG, patrons/mentors, local authorities get fairly well statted out; otherwise all the also-rans get yoinked from the various lists of prerolled NPCs like Everyone Else
