He gives "bad-ass" a whole new meaning.

Physicist? Or Physicist-to-be? You decide.

I'm kind of in the same sort of situation... I had several years where I was riding my bicycle to and from work (~12 miles round trip) every day all year round. Crashes and bad weather induced me to give up. I've never done a real exercise regimen, and need to get back into shape something...

No, that's cool... don't worry about it. It's all good. People like Umbran and me like to double-check these kinds of spiels. Very often they're couched in all sorts of bogus claims and pseudo-scientific :):):):):):):):) to dazzle non-science types. At first blush, this sounded like one of...

That makes a lot more sense.

No kidding... At it's most simple, a solar panel (or a battery), a couple cables and a bucket of water are all you really need to make as much hydrogen as you like.

Yeah... I know about a dozen guys who've built homemade particle accelerators in their garages or basements. It's not especially difficult, if you have some basic technical skills, and can be made largely from parts salvaged from a CRT television (which is, itself, a type of particle...

Some of my favorites are... The Shining Firestarter IT The Stand (which you've already read) The Eyes of the Dragon The Long Walk (as Richard Bachman) The Running Man (as Richard Bachman) The Regulators (as Richard Bachman) Different Seasons (Which includes Rita Hayworth and Shawshank...

Absolutely... but only occasionally and always for purposes of supplementing spending cash. Never as a full-time business venture. It's just rather boring to do for any length of time at the table.

Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. But that's not what I was suggesting, anyway. Whereas, a game in which the DM is always fudging to save the lives of the PCs is no fun, likewise, a game wherein the DM is constantly stacking the deck to kill the PCs is just as unfun. But, as you said, that wasn't...

The problem didn't have anything to do with inflexibility in the adventure plot... It had to do with the fact that we were playing through an adventure that was widely considered a meat-grinder with a DM who considered it his duty to kill the PCs, using any and every method at his disposal (he...

Many years ago, I played in a 3rd Edition campaign run by a DM who used a similar rule... In fact, it had been standard practice for our group that new characters would join the group at one level lower than the party's average level (or something very similar). At any rate, because this...

The funny thing is, the last 10 seconds is taken almost verbatim from a cartoon episode of The Tick: "The Tick vs. The Tick". Start watching about 5:50 or so... ‪The Tick vs the Tick - Part 2‬‏ - YouTube

I wouldn't be surprised to see, for example, an short animated spin-off series that more thoroughly explores those exploits. In fact, I'd almost be disappointed if they didn't.

It sounds kind of like Poptropica for D&D geeks. I'm going to look forward to this.

Nothing specific, but here's a thought... In all those TV shows, where you've got the bookish guy tagging along, (I keep thinking of Daniel in Stargate SG-1), there inevitably comes an episodes in which all the bad-asses get captured, but he doesn't. So, you split the group into two groups...

It's also Disney, and they be aiming for a particular rating. I'm just glad they kept the uncle-nephew relationship between Carter and Burroughs. That alone gives me hope.

Turns out that's a Photoshop job... It's Gimli with Armitage's face and the beard and hair turned gray.
