I played TORG once, early in high school. I don't remember too much of it, except we infiltrated the Evil Overlord's base (in the Egypt part of the world, I think) by posing as pizza delivery guys: "Hello! We have two large pepperoni and mushroom's for Evil Overlord Mugbuk." "Sure. He's in...

Yep. All The Essentials, including The Essential X-Men, are in black and white. They retail for $14.95 and collect about 20 issues. Marvel also puts out Marvel Masterworks, which are hardcover, color versions of The Essentials (they have fewer issues per volume, as well). The Masterworks...

"Hi! I came because the guy with the Samson/Gnome avatar who just got a haircut told me beer was $2/pint for gamers."

Right on! How will he know I am a gamer? I haven't worn the blacktrenchcoat since, well, ever.:D

If Cthulu's Librarian is coming, then I'll be there as well, since we are riding together. Are people planning on hanging out there during the con, or just on Sunday? Seems like it would be a good place to decompress when/if I get overwhelmed by gaming goodness.

Very cool. Even got the BPRD patch right on the jacket.

Right on! Thanks, Krug, for posting this link. As a grad student writing his dissertation in philosophy of education, I am constantly trying to fuse my comics reading with my more 'scholarly' pursuits. Maybe I can email Prof. Buhle. Looks like I need to resubscribe to The Chronicle.

After sucessfuly defending my comprehensive exams (yeah me!) last week, I picked up McSweeny's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales . It's a book of pulp-ish short stories by contemporary writers including Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Elmore Leonard, and Nick Hornby. All of the...

I am curious as well, since it speaks directly to my issue. If I can tell my players it came from The Sage or another authoritative WotC source, they are less likely to argue with me. I have enough of that as it is :) No prob with the hijacking, Rel. A lot of the displeasure with the xp...

Now I am haunted by images of racoons and a naked kreynolds. Yikes! I think I am going to come down on the strict side of things, ruling that the wizard can only scribe one scroll/day, though that scroll can have multiple spells. As to the number of spells on that scroll, I am tempted to...

Thanks for the help and thanks, kreynolds, for helping with the exact wording of the DMG. That's what happens when you post at work with no books around. It looks like I will have to decide if I will allow multiple spells to be scribed on one scroll in one day. Those of you who allow this, do...

My party has a wizard that wants to scribe some scrolls, but I am a little confused about what he can do and how long it takes. I have a couple of questions that I know you folks can help me with. 1. It says in the DMG that you can scribe 1000 gp/day worth of scrolls. (I don't remember the...

Carp was brilliant and moving. An incredible way to get across to the PC's how horrible this new timeline is and how much is at stake. Very well done, Sagiro.

I just contributed! I figure even lurkers should pony up some cash for Morrus. I am looking forward to meeting everyone at GenCon.

I'm with Rich (almost literally in that we are riding together from Virginia). I'd be interested in a GDQ game, or any other ENWorld pickup game (schedule permiting). It would be cool to get to meet some ENWorlders at my first GenCon. Nakia

Hey! This is the second time I have delurked today. What has come over me? Next thing you know I'll be writing a Story Hour. And, Cthulhu's Librarian is also MY librarian, so it's just a lurker love fest (hi Rich!)

Well, I finally finished my comprehensive exams, so I am finally able to (de)lurk again. Now, I am at work, eating lunch. Mmmm. . . applesauce.

I'll second this. Amazing Spider Man #50 was one of the best comics I have read all year. Funny and serious, with a cool fight. The Amazing Spider Man dealing with Spetember 11th (totally black cover) is framed on my wall. Ultimate Spidey is really well done as well. This past issue was...

I am fortunate enough to work part time in a comic shop, so I get to read lots of stuff w/o having to buy it. I know, I am lucky. :D I do buy the following every month: Batman (as long as Lee & Loeb are on it) Powers Liberty Meadows (the only comic my wife likes) League of Extraordinary...

I know I am way behind the curve on this one, but I have been reading a lot of Neil Gaiman lately. I just started American Gods and just read the "A Doll's House" Sandman GN at work yesterday (it helps when you work part time at a comic book store). Damn, he's good. And, if you include school...
