    Name Five Things You've Done That Others Probably Have Not

    I paid full price for mine, and don't regret the purchase. 1. Spent two years of my life in a mental institute, on three different wards in two different hospitals. I completed the two final years of comprehensive school in there. 2. Received a set of table silvers as a birthday present from a...

    So... who else has bought the new WFRP?

    Got it, and promptly fell in love. Campaign is kicking off in June. I especially like the fact the insanity rules take up more space than combat rules, and that there's a price table for prosthetics in the Equipment chapter. No game with insanity rules can be bad.

    Wish Me Luck: I'm Reading the DM Guide Cover To Cover!

    Good luck. What does the yellow mold think about Tennyson? I've only ever read two gaming books cover to cover... Eberron Campaign Setting and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. The rest I usually just flip through and read the interesting bits.

    You last "Kill"

    Some random mook that I beat into submission with a fallen branch in a WFRP1E game at a con today. Disemboweled with a blunt instrument. Nasty way to go. My PC later fell in battle against the BBEG.

    What is the least amount of Point Buy you'd play with?

    22, in an average game. If there was a special concept behind the game, I could live with anything. I prefer the 28-32 range, but have in past played in several campaigns with 45-point buy.

    World of Warcraft in Europe

    I play, though I froze my account until I've got my entrance exams over and done with. - Zhanath, undead rogue and Councilman of the Verinen Kirves on Dunemaul

    COMPLETELY unnattached to life.

    In one campaign, the DM did this with halflings. They were best (or at least funniest) summed up as samurai Nazi pygmies from Sparta.

    Countries with biggest rpg market?

    The sales figures I've seen bandied about for it have been in the six-digit range, and repeated often enough in different sources that I'm starting to believe them. The game is now in its sixth or seventh edition, I understand, and it's never been translated. Now, I'm no expert on the...

    Have you ever searched the net on your EN World Handle?

    I get a total of 82 hits, most of which seems to be me. Me on AudioScrobbler, me on EN World, me on the WotC boards, me on a zillion other roleplaying forums... My old and new blogs, me featuring in chat logs, me quoted on a Polish RPG message board, me on BookCrossing, some things I'd rather...

    Ever hear a song that makes you think of D&D?

    Well, most power metal is very D&D. Not Sonata Arctica, though, since their stuff is more like "unrequited love gone horribly, horribly wrong and now my life sucks and I must whine" instead of the typical power metal tone of "with my epic sword of victory I shall vanquish the evil hordes of the...

    Zombie Scenario Survival Test!

    Official Survivor, 78%. 89% higher than rest of my age and gender. Well, Finland seems to be always the one unaffected place in these kinds of scenarios, anyway. It's like we have plot immunity from the end of the world.

    Chat.Psionics.Net down?

    There's no problem with it at all that I'm aware of. I certainly don't have any problem connecting. Chatting there right now.

    What do you do if a Raven follows you?

    The only logical course of action is to slip in the word 'nevermore' in conversation with the creature. If it flips out and kills you, it's a very well-read ninja raven, and you should be honoured to be slain by such a worthy adversary. Hell, I don't know. I just knew this thread needed a Poe...

    War of the Worlds second teaser

    Isn't the musical version starting to get positively elderly by now?

    Clockwork Orange

    Oh, you think so? I rate it very highly as a first date movie, right after Battle Royale and The American Psycho. :]

    D&D 4E OT: Shadowrun 4E announced

    But... but... I just bought the 3E two weeks ago! Oh, well.

    D+D in your language (new words, post #23)

    Your use of the diminutive form is as weak as the game you are trying to proselytise. Bow down before the might of Marnon, knave.

    D+D in your language (new words, post #23)

    I would here like to note that the Finnish word for 'elf' is actually 'haltia'... 'Haltija' means 'owner', in legal terminology. I am basing this on the Finnish translation of The Lord of the Rings. Dictionaries are notoriously bad for digging up fantasy terminology anyway. Sorry, I just feel...

    Israeli army frowns on D&D (merged)

    Yeah, the Finnish gaming scene has a long-standing joke about military service being a really long larp with great props but a lousy plot... :]
