I have no idea where you get the idea I have such a risqué group, Curtis. Some of my group are pretty straight-laced, so we have separate parties for that stuff! How about the DM's wife playing serious footsie with me while her husband was running the game at the other end of the table? I mean...

I live right on Lake Erie, and have a beautiful six-mile long beach within a ten-minute drive. I was out there after working riding my bike and enjoying the weather. I know the hot weather is literally killing people in places, and to everyone sweltering in discomfort, you are in my thoughts...

And I'll buy you a donut! ;) Seriously, man, I am so proud of people like you who can do the really tough jobs that need to be done. My ex-wife spent a year when she was younger as a secretary in a State Police barracks and just typing up some of the reports was almost too much for her. Her...

I was part of the early release spike, so I won't be part of the EN World spike now. However, I don't hang out at game shops at all, so if it weren't for EN World, I never would have heard about the CSIO update and release. EN World is the entire reason I was part of the initial release sales...

My standard answer for small changes with big flavor is to eliminate evocation spells. Wizards and Sorcerers all become specialists for free (essentially they all have evocation as their only required opposition school). It requires going through all the evocations and making some substitutions...

My hunch is the same as Crothian's. The PDF market is small and necessarily dependent upon online customers, so EN Worlders make up a more significant portion of potential customers. Thus, generating positive buzz here can have a noticeable impact upon sales. Print publication sales are orders...

I've been playing D&D for 25 years, so I have accumulated tons of material. If I buy a large product today, chances are good that I'll only get any use out of a small portion of it. For me, small, niche, PDF products are just the ticket. I don't buy them by the bucketful, but when one hits a...

I don't think I can swing over that way, but Happy Birthday anyway, the Jester! -Dave

Gods, I think the last time I actually put in for reimbursement, it was something like $0.3175 per mile... Oh they do offer milage, I just haven't paid attention to it in years. In fact, I don't think anyone in my department bothers. I put in for it as part of any business trips I go on, but...

Personally, if I'd seen a gun-toting redneck pacing in my yard when I got home, I'd just keep driving and try not to attract his attention... :cool: Don't mind me, I'm just passin' through. :cool:

Heh, this is not a true metropolitan area. I guess I could put in for milage reimbursement. What is the standard, about 38 cents per mile these days? Instead I just drive my little plastic economy car and fill the tank up every couple of weeks or so.

Yeah, I decided to leave all day Thursday open for the dealer hall, art exhibits, auction and just generally wandering around with a big grin on my face. -Dave

I got mine today, which was a relief. I registered the first week it was open in February, signed up for events in May, and only signed up my friend near the end of June. Her tickets and badge arrived a couple of weeks ago, but no sign of mine... until today. Whew! -Dave

I have to. I rode my bike to work for nine-and-a-half years (well, I walked in the wintertimes). However, two years ago I was transferred into a department where I have to travel across town for meetings several days per week (and back to my office afterward). While I could ride my bike, I just...

Well, I didn't listen to as many audioboks during my 33 hours in the car last week as I thought I would. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since I had my daughter with me half the time. We listened to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents America, the Book, the Audiobook, which was very...

We do, that's why there is little to no outcry or outrage, and just a friendly bump every few days instead.

I wouldn't know. It's a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, so it's not an easy degree from a no-name college. Make whatever assumptions or judgements you want. Sorry, this is exactly what my friend did. It destroyed his time with friends, family, wife and kids...

I live 1.8 miles from the office, so my commute is five minutes by car or eight minutes by bicycle. :) I went to school in Buffalo, where it takes at least 20-30 minutes to get anywhere. When I first moved here, we lived in one of the outlying suburbs so it took 20 minutes to drive to work...

One of my gaming buddies just got his PhD in Engineering while working full-time as an Engineer. It took him something like 6-7 years, but he did it. So I'm pretty sure it can be done if one really wants to. True, he didn't have as much free time for his wife and kids as he would have liked, but...
