    And the College Football season begins!!!

    Maybe this will be the year Virginia breaks through. It may be wishful thinking (I was at Virginia for my doctorate), but Al Groh has done a good job there and I would like to see them take it up a notch. Of course, they lost a number of good people from last year.

    [Grim Tales] Slavelords Of Cydonia [full]

    Pretty good. Went to the Clemson/Texas A&M football game. I'm enjoying this game a lot so far. It's my only gaming fix. Too bad we're all about to get eaten! ;)

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    Teddy looked back over his shoulder at the group. His eyes narrowed and a half smile crept across his face. Teddy was the dumb one, the heavy, to them. They didn't ask his opinion because they thought he had nothing to add. Everyone said they knew what that foul smell was, everyone was...

    And the College Football season begins!!!

    Well, I'm on board. Go Buckeyes! Beat Texas! My wife and I went to a sports bar to eat and watch some of the game last night since we don't have TV yet. There was just no way I could make it to the end and teach today. There seems to be a lot of top teams without quarterbacks. Wasn't that...

    And the College Football season begins!!!

    Are you sure there's room? Doesn't OSU have 90,000 students or something? I went to bed on the FSU/Miami game. Kinda glad now that I know what happened, train wreck or no.

    Teddy wil head back around to the temple entrance (assuming there's light for him to do so and Brigitta doesn't say otherwise).

    And the College Football season begins!!!

    I was AT that game, rooting for A&M in the midst of 75,000 screaming orange wearing Clemson fans (who were actually pretty nice). Oh, the heartbreak. A&M beat themselves -- stupid penalties, dropped passes, and a defense that permanently is stuck in "prevent" mode. As an A&M fan, I am all up...

    "Ah don't tink there's much more dat way," Teddy says as he points to the west. "Maybe we should circle back to da front."

    I'll be away from the computer Saturday and Sunday (as usual), but will be in the office Monday.

    While Brigitta and Haskins examine the campsite, Teddy will head west, closer to the edge of the light. He'll try and listen for anything unusual. Edit: Listen check sent. I actually got above a 10 (my first role above a 10), so I'm excited.

    Guess What?! NC Game Day VIII is September 10th!

    Hey folks, Due to a variety of factors, I don't think I'm going to be able to make it up to Raleigh next weekend. Mostly I've just overscheduled myself with the new job and stuff. I'm bummed because I was looking forward to hanging out with Rel, Henry and everyone else and REALLY looking...

    Cool mysterious names of places (desert)

    I've always liked the word "wadi". It just sounds fun. In deserts, springs, wells, and oasis (what the plural of "oasis"?) are vital and often claimed or contested. So you could have "Tayschren's Springs" or somthing similar, where the name of the spring indicated it's owner or a previous...

    Teddy will move south and east a bit, where he's standing on the bottom step about one square east of where he is now. "Brigitta will want to look at this," he says to himself, a little impatiently. He was getting restless.

    Piratecat's up-to-date story hour (updated on 8/10, come game with PCat at GenCon!)

    New job, moving, buying a house, getting an office, and other fun real life stuff have kept me away from ENWorld for a bit and P-Cat's story hour even longer. . . But it just means I get to read it all at one time one afternoon when I'm not feeling productive. It's great as always and I can't...

    It's that time of year... (rant)

    I'm glad to hear your first day back went better than expected, even if you do have to take the writing 101 course. Hijinks is right, you should breeze through that. As a college professor, I teach both freshmen and nontraditional students. I enjoy the nontrads. They're generally way more...

    A puzzled scowl crosses Teddy's face. "Dames" he mutters to himself.

    Teddy will go with Haskins, staying just on the north western edge of his light source. (Since Haskins is on the steps, Teddy will be on the temple floor, just past the columns, I guess.)

    A Friend In Need

    Well, you know Hans has my well wishes and support, but I thought I'd be public about it. Good luck, Hans.
