Geez. All the lingo... I've never tried WoW, so I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Would I need to learn a whole new set of slang/terminology just to play?

I need a key NPC done for my campaign. He's gonna be around for a while. In reality, he's a lich, but he's got a change self (seeming) on him that makes him look more like a man. He's a fantasy NPC, but he lives in a wild-west style tent-town. He is the town ruler (but no one knows he's a...

I choose Other... The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I didn't think so either. I was more a Moorcock/Lieber style fantasy guy. But damn.... I was so wrong. It really is good stuff, his character development is very strong.

If I'm not mistaken, in a series like this, the cast list will expand as more episodes are run. I recall in earlier listings it showed Ned Stark in only 6 episodes, since that was all that was released in the beginning to the reviewers. I could be wrong, though, but I am pretty sure I have...

Geez. That is pretty impressive. So far it looks like a nice melding of traditional windows paradigms the new tablet/smartphone OS paradigms. At least it wasn't a vaporware demo, obviously scripted like it was a flash movie. You can tell he was doing the ADHD clicking and dragging that a...

That's good. Normal potassiun ranges are fairly small, like 3.5–5.0 something-or-others, and when I was at my grossest fatness, the hydrochlorothiazide made mine like 2.1, which I guess is pretty low. Though I was depressed drinking at the time and high intake of alcohol can exacerbate it as...

Take care what you eat or take with lisinopril. Especially caffeine. NHI OnDemand - Search Interactions & Depletions Each of the listed herbs or ingredients can interact with (or be depleted by) antihypertensive meds or ACE Inhibitors (lisinopril is both)

Yea... those numbers have changed. the RDA measurement is sorta out of date, Nutritionists prefer a RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) and there is actually there is something called UL (Upper Tolerable Limit) also called a DV (Daily Value). Unfortunately, the UL is often used by food...

The article says to reference the Heroes if Nature and Lore for rules on how to use them. Emphasis mine. By RAW, you can, but it appears as though it is preferred if it's chose at level 1. If a DM wants to house-rule this preference into a requirement in their campaign, I see no problem with...

Wow... I can feel my mouth water just reading this. Good thing I already ate this morning. :) Holy sh...[grandma filter]! That's a little high, but not that far off the RDI for sodium. My god... So did they ever find out the root cause? Or were they just finally relieved that they were...

I didn't get this at all. Sounds to me like he is tired of rules bloat, and as a GM, it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff - just because it's in a book doesn't mean it's balanced. And power creep is difficult to balance as a DM. And, quite frankly, I burned out on 3.x when it got to...

Ha! I guess in your case, if the dog eats as much as you, then going Organic might not make sense. That's a lot of turkey! :) Your family must love turkey sandwiches! Are the plain ol' free range turkeys as expensive as Organic where you are? Whole Organic Turkeys are really expensive...

I know I was quoting you, but that statement was meant for the general "you", not you personally. I should have been clearer. Obviously, the pesticides on fruit and vegetables that conventional growers use must pass USDA government safety thresholds, but there are other things that make...

If you are already eating healthy and are in shape, then organic will cost you a bit more, yes. I was referring to my experience in making a lifestyle change. Though you would be surprised at the chemicals that are used in and on non-natural or organic foods. I mean, they can't be all that...

Interestingly, in my experience (and I can only speak for myself), I found the whole "organic is too expensive" thing a fallacy. I started changing my diet, gradually over a couple of months about a year ago. I was pre-diabetic, grossly obese (though I would never admit it before), my blood...

Yum. With my group, by the time everyone shows up, and we get through the first 30mins of catching up on the past two weeks (or more) as friends, we only have 4-5 hours to get our gaming on. Mostly, our rule is to eat before you come over, or bring your meal along if you want and eat during...

I love my desktop, especially for work/programming. I have three 22" Acer monitors that I can have Outlook/Word/Excel, Visual Studio, SQL Server Management Studio open at the same time, all visible to me. I also like my natural keyboard, it is much easier for me to type and I imagine that I...

Good decision. On another side note, if you crave beef, and you can afford it, try to get grass-fed beef. Much better for you and it has much higher levels of CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) which is a fat that is good for you and can actually help burn that horrible visceral fat that is so...

Yup. And put the fork down when you feel satisfied, not when you are full. Being full, especially that uncomfortable full, is not our regular state. You will also notice over time that you won't have as many false hunger cravings.

All good suggestions. To add to #1, don't just look at the grams of sugar in the nutritional grid, look at the ingredient list. That list alone can get scary. If you want to add some sweetener to iced tea or your cereal, again try stevia, no-calorie natural sweetener. I know you said it...
