What I like is the irony that this thread started with Cheiromancer confessing a guilty pleasure to the rest of us. :D -Dave

Journeyman sponsor for Fett527, TB. Looking forward to it! -Dave

Depends on how you want to define it. Sure, huge rares only show up one per three boosters. On the other hand there are only six of them so, on average you would get all six in 18 boosters (this assumes you care enough to trade any duplicates and, of course, random distribution doesn't guarantee...

Hi Fett! I've missed being on the boards with you. Congratulations on the job, I hope you continue to enjoy it as much as it sounds like you're enjoying it now. As you are probably aware much of the off-topic stuff has moved to The Circus right here on Morrus' servers, and Nothingland has also...

Well, I went to get my daughter last weekend and took her home this weekend, so I had over 40 hours in the car to listen to books on CD. I listened to Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman, Going Postal by Terry Pratchett and Shopgirl by Steve Martin. I enjoyed them all, though Pratchett has long been a...

Indianapolis in early August is my only extended vacation. I'll be meeting lots of friends and splitting my time between gaming and shopping. :) Most of the rest of my vacation time will be spent seeing my daughter at various times throughout the rest of the year. -Dave

Yes, gross generalizations are always true. There's no way that three bad haircuts from three short-haired stylists could be a coincidence. I can't imagine why no one else has seen this universal truth before now. -Dave

I came to a different conclusion. The members of EN World (and other RPG message boards) are, in general, more savvy and knowledgeable about what is out there than Joe Average RPG Player. I believe the perceived lack of adventure support is due to the vast majority of D&D players using only WotC...

That's OK, Cindy. If you want, *I'll* make time for you. ;) -Dave

Exactly. While the random packaging may not be optimal for many peoples' tastes, they have done an excellent job sustaining the line and maintaining interest set after set. With the existance of a healthy secondary market, buyers can make what they want of each set. I only purchased three...

I am also a big fan of the Everchanging Book of Names. The ability to create dozens of names with the cadence and feel of a particular real-world or fantasy culture is great. My DM notebook contains several pages where I created a list of 50 names from each of a list of cultures, so NPC names...

I realize I am only a single data point (on the other hand, so are you), but I am not tired of seeing humanoids and, since I never bought any Chainmail minis, I don't mind seeing those as part of DDM. There's the problem when you generalize, it almost never applies as broadly as you mght think...

It might be a little unreasonable to assume WotC haven't looked at the economics involved with making themed sets (by which I assume you also mean non-random sets). I don't pretend to be privy to inside information, but what I have seen of the company tells me they've tried to look at it...

Rel, if this game doesn't fill in with a waiting list like your earlier version, I can switch to this game from the 2-7 PM slot. I'm available for either one. -Dave (Mr. Nice Guy being flexible for his friend ends when the game starts. :] )

Yup, I've been lured by a PirateCat game into leaving early. I'll have to get my frisbee fix quickly and raid the goodies before I go get stomped by PK-style SuperVillians. -Dave

OK, I guess I'll be leaving the picnic early (sorry Gabe!). Sign me up for a Saturday afternoon slot. Woohoo! -Dave

Since Stuart and John fill in the main slots, I'll jump onto the waiting list, since I likely can't make any of your other games. And if I don't make this one, that's fine too; there'll be lots of other cons. :) Edit: looks like I can make one of your MnM games, so I'll happily give others a...

If Scranford, Stuart or Jeff don't take either of the remaining slots, I'd like to jump from the waiting list onto the Saturday game with Steve, please. Otherwise, I'll give up my spot, because the Friday slot is a conflict for me. -Dave

Given that the current SRD hasn't been updated in... how long? two years? three?... I would be surprised to see PHB II or DMG II material added within the next 18 months. They would have to jump queue, too, as there were a bunch of other books in line before the updates stopped. -Dave

Two members of my original extended gaming group have taken their own lives over the years (one at 25, the other at 31), and another had a massive heart attack and died at 29. -Dave
