    Today! :)

    I need my fingers free, but I'm keeping my toes crossed. ;)

    Is your group "High Maintenence"?

    None of the above. My players get along swell, never fighting or anything, but they work together about as well as the...well just really bad. For instance, today I was DMing them through the Forge of Fury. They took out the sentries in front of the entrance, then spent over an hour...

    The Discovery downer

    Really? I thought it was awful. Essentially, I feel like I sat through two and a half hours of bad acting and hysterics to get half an hour of science--which, incidentally, showed the opposite of the scenario shown in the first two and a half hours! Ick. I wish I'd seen the dragon program...

    Odin, Thor, and Loki are Babylonian deities!!

    Is that the argument that all major civilizations, which seem to have sprung up out of no where, settled near high mountains? Being near high mountains is evidence that the seeds of each civilization were remnants of a Great Flood: Just like Noah's ark, each of them came to rest atop a...

    Odin, Thor, and Loki are Babylonian deities!!

    Yeah. I like Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology (http://www.northvegr.org/lore/rydberg/). Lotsa interesting ideas, including some stuff about Hel and Urd--he argues that they are the same individual in earlier myths, and that Loki's daughter was not named Hel but rather Leikin. (The name Hel was...

    Secret Service Protects Pregnant Duck

    Or at least part duck. But seriously, which senator is responsible for this unplanned duck pregnancy? :p

    OK, here's my can o' worms question!

    I'll play anything, but I prefer a hybrid system. Considering that I was playing a hybrid version of 2E when they announced 3E, and that I was hoping the newer version would expand upon and fix many of the problems I had with 2E (or at least be compatible with it), I dislike what 3E actually...

    Were you a goofy looking kid?

    Admit it, you now it's true. I'd also like to add: I've been amazed to discover most 16-year-olds on the internet have better language skills than most older people. Is there hope for the world after all? :p

    Ever hear a song that makes you think of D&D?

    Awww, heh heh heh, that is so cute, and funny.

    Were you a goofy looking kid?

    Aaaaaaaah, now you made me remember too! Puberty is God's greatest joke: "I've decided to make you fat, ugly, and stupid. Now *poof!* go try to have sex with whatever you can!" :p

    Solar Eclipse 04/08/2005 - no one told me!

    Why don't these things make the news anymore? Right now, they're muttering something about how much the Pope loved President Bush. *shudder* I'd rather stare into the sun than hear about that relationship. :confused:

    Wizards.com?

    Ah, I thought it was just my computer. Every morning around this time, I get kicked off the site and can't get back on. Maybe it's spreading?

    The truth about THAC0

    Nah, it's easier just to ask him to roll before I tell him what he's rolling for: That way he doesn't know if he needs a high number or a low number until after he's rolled. He's already a pretty good palmer, anyway. I tried buying him dice once, they all got "accidentally smashed by a rock."...

    Were you a goofy looking kid?

    To judge from the pictures I've seen, I was actually a pretty cute kid (apart from the occasional goofy haircut). I have no idea what happened after that. :(

    The truth about THAC0

    Nah, I hate them cheating, that's why I try to stop it. Bubba has been cheating at everything his whole life. When he sees a flaw, he goes for it.

    The truth about THAC0

    Um, I don't know exactly what your problem is with me, but yes: I don't like a rules sytem that makes it easier to cheat. Given the choice, I would play the same game with a different rolling system. I never said the game makes him cheat, I merely said he cheats. He never used a cheat die...

    The truth about THAC0

    I don't like playing alone? He's my friend. He's been my friend for 20 years. And he cheats. I try and prevent him from cheating.

    My brother's having trouble

    Excellent! Even if it ever happens again, having found a physiological source of the problem is half the battle. Now he knows what it is, so it shouldn't ever seem nearly as bad as it did. Cripes, I don't blame him. Sleep apnea can be nasty, my brother suffers from it. And for a while, when...
