I did, actually =) They're gonna mail me one, because, as margaret told me, i'm a "great guy" =) yes sir, it pays to be an obsessive fanboy somedays =)

Snow Crash by Stephenson, To Reign in Hell by Brust, Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman, Calculating God by Sawyer, and of course, American Gods, but you knew that already. I'm a sucker for fantasy/sci fi about man's relation with God and stuff =) Of course, i'd also like to recommend a...

hey Merric, any idea why Mina's not in the set?

guh. boba and other tapioca drinks are nasty. maybe if the boba balls weren't so big, it would be a little more palatable... but yeah, we have a billion teashops and boba places up in norcal too...

the goblins also have a nation (of good aligned goblins) on northern ergoth, called sikket hu'l (or something close). also, in the current timeline, goblins and hobgoblins are in control of most of the qualinesti forest, but not much has been said about htem yet.

Just finished the first Lemony Snickett book in the Series of Unfortunate Events, and am now moving on to Loamhedge by Brian Jaques, the second most recent redwall book. Yeah, i know. I'm just feeling a little YA these days =)

cause tab is pretty good =)

Whoohoo! Niners are in first place! ...for the draft....

god. talk about a railroaded campaign... =)

I'm totally with you, mouse. i normally adore 7up and dnL and cherry 7up and all their products. but man, this stuff tasted like antibiotics that you got as a kid, right down to the chalky aftertaste. plus, that light pink color... ugh, the memory of that taste is just as bad... -_-

You know what? I _do_ miss the D&D of 2000. That was when i ran my first game (despite having played off and on for ten years) to a willing group of total newbies who i taught to play. We only had the 3e phb, since the DMG and MM hadnt come out yet, and nobody knew the rules well enough to be...

yeah, which is why any attempt to make an rpg out of india would have to stick to the universal classics, aka the mahabharat, the ramayan, and the upanishads. Beyond that, it becomes way too complex to try to properly model. For a bit, i was toying with the idea of making regional feat...

dude, when i was a kid, i had a toy bow and arrow, and a toy mace, and i used to run around pretending to be Ram or Hanuman, the way my neighbors would play cowboys and indians =) (i was always miffed to discover that my ancestors didnt actually run around with tomahawks and feathers in their...

heh. you guys do a disservice to the other 100 or so fun books in the series. Sure, there are about two hundred of em, but they can't all be winners =) I really recommend anything written by Chris Pierson, or by the pair of Paul Thompson and Tonya Cook. they write great DL.

eh. nagaland is really far from where he's going. it's like warning someone not to move to wisconsin because of the riots in LA.

Yeah i am =) --- While doing my daily prayers today, some other mechanics occured to me. Any indian based game would have to have boon and curse rituals. You know, where you pray for a certain period of time, and are granted X, anywhere from a mantra to have a child with a divine sponsor...

ok, so when last i went to india, two decembers ago, i was in Baroda, in Gujarat. I noticed that a lot of the city was starting to be wifi enabled, and there were internet centers popping up everywhere. Some of these had a few FPSes installed, but on the whole, i didnt notice much in the way...

in india, the concept of recreational gaming doesnt really exist, let alone rpgs or video games. sorry bro.

i never learned how to use hexes or do that kind of wilderness travel. I played in 2nd ed, but never really learned the rules till 3e. So when i went and tried to run DL1 last year for some friends, i was totally confused about how they were supposed to go anywhere, and what was supposed to...

I've got enough raw rules data for me to be perfectly happy. Pretty much the only thing i'm gonna buy from here on out are Dragonlance setting books, unless something else comes to grab my attention. I've got more than enough crunch for my taste, and never enough fluff.
