Is it too late to join? I've never played fantasy baseball before, but it seems like a good time to start and a good group to play with. I can be the doormat team :D

Less than Jake is a great band, so I'll second Angelsboi there. In a similar vein, try Operation Ivy. Old ska/punk from Oakland CA. Much of OpIvy ended up in Rancid. "Sound System" is a great travelling song. It'll get you moving. And you can't forget the Beastie Boys: NO. . .SLEEP. ...

Thanks for the info, realmprotector. I have not decided if I am going to rent a car or not. If so, I can probably check out the WotC store. If not, maybe I should email dialgo for some tips on other fun activities in SoBe.:D I am looking forward to the trip. It's for a philosophy...

I am heading to Miami at the end of March for a conference and wanted to check out some game and/or comic stores. Any suggestions? The conference is in South Beach, at the Crowne Plaza or something like that. Any game stores in South Beach? Thanks!

This will be my first Gen Con as well, and I am road tripping (about 9-10 hrs from here). Never to early to start burning those "I am going to Gen Con" mix CD's. My favorite driving album is Allman Brothers: Decade of Hits. Ramblin Man, Melissa, Statesboro Blues -- all are great road songs...

This is fun and a great idea, even if I did have to look up the lyrics on the internet . Song: November Rain Plot: The party learns an important NPC they are aquainted with once loved and lost. Said NPC thinks former lover is dead, but party stumbled across clues to her whereabouts long ago...

That was great! Philosophy is cool, which is probably why I am trying to get a PhD in it. It's neat to see the two warring halves of my time (gaming and philosophy) so nicely put together. Now, to read the rest of Carnifex's story hour.

I have had a crappy week, and it's only Tuesday. Rejections, speeding tickets, more rejections. . . but then jonrog updates this story hour! Captain Texas is awesome. And Furio and Nadia are pretty cool too. Plus, there are lines like: These make the comic geek in me all sorts of...

Based on my year of working at the FLGS, here are some things I have learned: 1. You need regulars (duh). But when you can become THE place for several groups of gamers to buy their stuff, then that's guaranteed income. Few things make me happier at my store than to see the guys (or girls)...

I am not sure about weekly sales, but we are very happy if we have a 15K month. Some, but not as much as other sections of retail. We almost got burned when we ordered a bunch of extra stuff for Christmas and sales did not increase that much. We are in a University town, so that influences...

Hi, Sam. I am an employee at our FLGS. We sell comics and RPG's, with some anime thrown in. We are a pretty small opperation, with two other employees besides myself and these two guys were just hired a month ago. The owner is similar to to the owner of your (former) FLGS. He is very...

Ummmm. . . vengance.

emergent downloaded the "Kill Bill" trailer yesterday, but now knows Quention's got NOTHING on Dr. Midnight. He is totally engrossed in the movie, when he sees some woman stand up in front of the theatre. He begins to get annoyed, then realizes she is holding sais -- no, knitting needles --...

emergent (talking on cell phone while in line for snacks at theatre): "Yes, honey. . . yes, I am at the theatre. I told you about it. . . "Six in the Chamber II". . . I saw the first one on DVD. . .yeah, the kung fu one. . .yeah, the one with the shark, and the flying boats, and the guy in the...

Big congratulations, angelsboi! (says the longtime luker who just celebrated his first anniversary five days ago)

So I am at my desk at work, eating chili, and I happen to read this. Good god, jonrog! Are you aware of the danger your story poses to a man, his lunch, and a computer?! And, having lived in the wonderful Lone Star State for some time, I can assure all of you this is an accurate portrayal...

A bit more: The players see me as a deadly DM. I see the players as having poor tactics and not using abilities effectively. For example: They just helped defend a monastary against an orc horde. They had three rounds between the time the orcs emerged from the woods and the time the orcs...

I have been looking at d20 modern a lot lately and like it very much. I'll look more closely at the action points system. It may help in some ways. But I think the biggest problem is my players are all scared of dying. I am not sure that's the atmosphere I am going for.

Recently, my players and I have been having a discussion about a stringent, rules heavy playing style vs. a looser style, where there is some winging it for dramatic effect. My players have told me that, while they would like a more dramatic cinematic style, they are uncomfortable with me...

my humble submission DM: The woman you met at Edoras gazes at you with longing and love. Her eyes speak . . . PC1: Yeah, whatever. I want to kill some orcs. Where's the armory? PC2: Didn't you say there are like 10,000 orcs? We are sooooo screwed. Just after I got my cool new magic bow...
