I'm with Bagpuss about 'dice creep'. A friend used to tap his dice with the high number up, so the 'heavy molecules' would sink to the bottom. Pretty hilarious. (side note: a chem major friend of mine said the glass settling to the bottom of old windows was false, and more of a product of...

Man, that was a dark book. Read it back in the day when WFRP was all we played. I recall Elsbet being a cool character. =)

Once again, divulge your current literary pursuits! I finally got a copy of 'A Cavern of Black Ice' by J.V. Jones. I heard all of the good reviews from people here last year, but could never lay my hands on a copy of the paperback. Pretty sad when the hardback for book 2 was out on shelves. So...

Apparently the source my lady saw jumped the gun with his first post. Retracted, said that nothing official has come down the pipe. We're all hopeful.

I'll look for the source, but my fiance' told me last night that it got picked up for a third season. It's been their second-highest rated show while Deadwood's been running. And wow at the confrontation. They had me fearful for a bit that there would be no Clancy Brown (Justin) for the third...

I had a bit of metagame meanness with my party recently. The party is currently in possession of half of an artifact looking for a way to destroy it before the enemy wizard can take it from them and make it whole. One of the PCs never knew her parents, having been orphaned to the church where...

Hmm, I missed this, but given the reviews, maybe that's a good thing. Definitely not everything he touches is a winner (Bubba Hotep really dragged for me), but I really enjoy most of his work. Just wanted to chime in that if you ever get the chance to meet him, Bruce is a great guy. We got to...

The first adventure out of the Well of Worlds PS book is a good starter for a Planescape campaign like what you're asking. I believe it's called 'To Baator and Back'. Basically the PCs start off in a quaint prime city, and inadventently go through a portal to Baator (Nine Hells). There are some...

So that's how the Taken were such good spellcasters... (just read the first novel with Soulcatcher and all that). btw Henry, I feel your pain. The BCCS is calling me as well, now that I've started playing in such a campaign.

sorry for slight derail, but. Are they making a movie of A Scanner Darkly? Need to go check my movie news. I picked this up a few years back and enjoyed it (other than the occasional nosebleeds it caused).

I keep debating on the use of cutscenes. I have a friend that runs a great Star Wars games, and he makes very effective use of cut scenes. Perhaps it lends more to that setting, where you're familiar with the various sides and angles. In my games, I want my players to be surprised when they...

I'm up for Chili's as well for my first choice. I can't say I'm a fan of Applebees, and the service at that one is hit or miss when I go. But really, I'm along for the good company.

If I make it to this one, you'll have three there. Unlike Henry though, I'm a fiend for the Diet Coke drinks, specifically the Diet Cherry and Lime varieties. Mmm, good stuff. :D

I'm following it, and I'm glad to say I enjoyed this show much more than the previous two episodes. The scenes with Jonesey, Libby, and Ben were cool, albeit a bit predictable. Once he got messed up, I knew it would be Ben for the Heal. I am glad they're advancing plots considerably now...

For the most part, I'm still in World of Warcraft. Just hit level 30 with my Dwarven Priest. But something else which I wanted to note: My girlfriend got me something special off eBay for Valentine's Day. I know have the DVD games for Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair II, and Space Ace. It lets you...

Heh heh, that's great. Good update, Sagiro, and congratulations on the little one!

Heh, yesterday's comic from Commissioned: http://www.theministryofabnormality.com/webcomic/strip-a064.html

Hey die_kluge. Just a heads up if you have some friends that already play, you may be able to get a trial copy of the game to test out. Mine came with a 10-day trial - you give the card with the code and your install disks to a friend and they can try it out for that period. At end of trial...

We thought this too, but then I realized that Forbes and the mole in the company had Curtis' phone already. They talked about it when it was ringing and they didn't want to answer it. Plus, when Curtis jacked up Forbes, he had just gotten off the phone. This phone was retrieved from his inside...

Ah, hadn't seen these. It's a consideration, although probably more than I need at this point. If I still had my Warhammer 40K fix going, this would be a definite choice. Thanks.
