    Canada... where to move?

    Well, he said no french, so I assumed he wanted to live someplace that actually spoke english. :D Heh heh, my brother lives near there. It's where I stayed when I visited Vancouver. (Sorry if I frightened you with my black leathers....)

    Pope on last legs.

    Define "space." People keep claiming things can be seen from space, but do they even bother checking? I think not! They just say it to make it sound cool. I mean, can't spy satellites read a newspaper from space? Then I should HOPE the line-up can be seen from space! :p

    Lurker in need of help with psychology assignment

    Whaaaaat? No it's not! Or are you suggesting Henry is going to beat us up for continuing along in this vein? :p

    The truth about THAC0

    Why is it weird to complain that a system makes cheating easier? :uhoh: I should think it would be weird not to complain about it. And actually I have multiple players who cheat, but only one of them has a special d20 that helps him roll higher numbers. He's got a d20 with two 20s and two 19s...

    D&D terminology pet peeves

    No, it's because French cooking is better than English cooking. ;)

    The truth about THAC0

    I don't know what "intuitive" means, but I've always found it easier to subtract than to add. :) One of the things I dislike most about d20 is the fact that higher numbers are always better. I've got players (well, one player anyway) using cheat dice now that never would have bothered...

    Lurker in need of help with psychology assignment

    For me it's the opposite: I only remember a few of the spankings (the ones I didn't deserve), but I remember all of the groundings. A spanking was an immediate punishment, a concise lesson. But for me a grounding lasted long after the feeling of contriteness had passed, so I resented it.

    Canada... where to move?

    I'd just like to add one warning: Don't go anywhere between Ontario and British Columbia. Every place in between can be described by at least one of the following: - incredibly boring - full of xenophobic rednecks (I'm especially lookin' at you, Alberta! :p ) - stupidly cold - in the middle...

    Pronunciation question -- quixotic

    Hello! *waves* :) I use the word on occasion because I know what it means. But I didn't know how to pronounce it until now because I've never heard it spoken--and why would I look it up in the dictionary to find out the pronunciation when it seems so obvious? :p (I had the same problem with...

    OMG! My Mom ROCKS!!! She made my day!

    Whoa! My mom was cool and all, but she could never remember a thing I wanted. For example, she used to buy me this "trail mix" of nuts and fruit and stuff, but she would always get the stuff with chocolate chips in it. I told her I liked everything but the chocolate chips. And yet, every...

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

    Black Blade by Blue Oyster Cult I have this feeling that my luck is none too good This sword here at my side don’t act the way it should Keeps calling me it’s master, but I feel like it’s slave Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave And it howls! it howls like hell! I’m told...

    My last gaming session made me uncomfortable...

    Some of my players don't understand the concept of alignments. They think they're like teams: Good and Evil do the same things, they're just on opposite sides. I need to stop playing with sociopaths and go back to playing with real people again. Or maybe dolls. I do that when I make chili...

    My last gaming session made me uncomfortable...

    To be completely accurate, I didn't describe a rape, just the events leading up to the rape that they were supposed to be stopping. A very graphic beating, then a graphic description of a knife being used to disfigure a person in horrible ways. (I don't know if I could have described a rape...

    Canada... where to move?

    I'm in Winnipeg, and for someone from a warm place on earth, I recommend anywhere but Winnipeg. Sure, it gets hot in the summer, but only for a day or two and then *wham!* you're neck-deep in snow. Toronto seems like a nice place if you want to be near the main population zones. Lots of...

    Lurker in need of help with psychology assignment

    My mother used a stick so she wouldn't hurt her hand. I don't have kids, but I spank other people's kids every chance I get. :]

    No smoking...

    I'd do you, then I'd do myself. And I ain't just quoting MJ on that one. ;)

    My last gaming session made me uncomfortable...

    Yes. :confused: When the party failed to defend a rape victim from her attacker. It was the opening adventure hook, and my players decided to mess with my head. So they just watched. And kept asking me what was happening, and if anyone else was doing anything about it. I tried to fight fire...

    Had Creamed Chipped Beef for the first time today...

    Well, the other thread was locked! ...and I wanted to feel special. :(

    Like Pepsi but hate music?

    Do they have them on the 2-litre sizes in Winnipeg? ( :o Wait, why am I asking you that? I'm more likely to know the answer!) Nope, they apparently don't. Sorry. I'd give 'em up if I could find 'em.
