    Tacos: Satan's Snack Food!

    Where do you find this stuff? I'd think it was your job to uncover the oddities posted on the interwebs... As an aside, I had tacos for dinner last night. No crimes were involved.

    Got an idea for a column? Pitch it here.

    I can't XP Mark CMG, hence this. I think the terrain making tips, tricks, etc., could be quite usefull - especially to us who lack any real artistic ability. [sad face]

    GeneMod Silkworms

    At least those made me laugh. And cringe. And somehow, I'd think the silk would need to be on the outside vice the inside to keep the goats from exploding. Auto-flossing fibrous feta... Nope. Not a product I want to see on the store shelves.

    I don't think I'd want to eat any of the cheese from spider-goat milk. Somehow getting all that stuck in your teeth can't be a good thing...

    How do you feel about the future of D&D after the official announcements?

    Neutral. Overall, I don't think WotC can pull it off, especially given the very different games that pre-4E and 4E are. And if they don't, it doesn't matter to me because I have Pathfinder. But, I am willing to give it a look-see as even if the system doesn't work, it may have good ideas to...

    It would be cooler if they had glowing red silk. [nods]

    D&D 4E Things from 4E Not Done Well

    Multi-Classing; Too many small/fleeting bonuses/conditions to track; Too heavy a focus on combat; Lack of non-combat skills/feats/abilities; Too generic - every class felt like every other class; The "feel" was too different from prior editions; Completely up-ended cosmology; Too many hit-points...

    Hype train, cho cho chooo

    I'm hoping that there will be lots of swag at GenCon. After all, good swag will get one's attention much better than bad, or no, swag.

    Lets try to keep the flames to a minimum

    Cheers. Have some non-plague-i-ness! [grin] Since you happened to mention this upboard on the anti-flame-war thread.

    Guess the Codename; it starts with I---

    iFlumph. 'Cause they are hoping for a soft landing.

    A mini-rant re: Pathfinder and D&D

    My opinion is mine. You will not change it. And to get so worked up over not being able to change it seems, well, odd. That's a lot of energy being spent on something that has no impact on your own views - much less your ability to enjoy the games you prefer to play. As is borne out within...

    A mini-rant re: Pathfinder and D&D

    I choose to not. It is my opinion. I am not forcing it on anyone. By stating one's opinion one allows that others may understand from where their arguments stem - a point of reference. You can choose to accept it or not, but the choice is ultimately yours. And that choice will have zero...

    I'm going to have to attend the ENies this year!

    101 Moments of Mundane Fun

    25. The unexpected inheritance. If the PCs have befriended, say an old innskeeper or barkeep, then when the old NPC passes, having no other family, they leave their business to the PCs. This then puts the PCs in a position to maybe: settle outstanding taxes; find a here-to-fore unknown...

    A mini-rant re: Pathfinder and D&D

    If asked, I say I'm playing Pathfinder. If the asker doesn't know what that is, then I say it's like D & D. Using the unqualified term D & D, denotes to me, the current edition of the game as presented by WotC. And for me, 4e, being the current edition, is not D & D - it's something else just...

    Is Silverlight dead?

    MS just came out with Silverlight 4 not too long ago, and it is based on the XAML way of doing things. Too, they just released Lightswitch, which I think is a way to integrate data driven mechanics into not only apps, but Silverlight as well. I'm not sure what you mean by the support of...

    Projects and Resolutions for 2012

    Software Development, an ISV in the industry. Ironically, I didn't actually think to mention it when I wrote the above. {shrug} Thanks.<shrug></shrug>

    Let's not discuss 5e...

    Monkey Jellybeans! I guess that's about as appropriate as anything. <shrug> Whenever whatever shows up, I'll look and then decide as I can't decide before that.

    Projects and Resolutions for 2012

    Holy bovine! I'd say that's quite a lot on your plate for the year. None-the-less, best of luck on your endevours! My list looks pretty pale in comparison to that... * Actually do something with my LLC (formed and registered, but not doing anything) * Finish my RPG applications (Character...

    The Naked of 2012

    I know I'm looking forward to "The Hobbit". But that's about it. I tend to be pretty cynical about movies any more.
