    What to do in the Seattle area?

    There is an excellent game/comic/hobby store in Pike Place Market called Golden Age Collectibles. I recommend that you take a bus to Seattle Center, explore that for a bit, including the Space Needle, Science Center, EMP, etc and then ride the monorail to Westlake Center. It's a short walk to...

    At last - my AD&D campaign has started!

    I loved reading this as I'll be starting my AD&D campaign next weekend. Going to run a group through The Temple of Elemental Evil. I haven't played 1ed since 2nd came out and I'm very excited to go back. Half my players have never played anything pre-3E, so they are in for a treat!

    Do you have a "small superpower"?

    My wife and I share a "small superpower." Whenever we are together and we get in a line, be it at the supermarket or coffee shop or wherever, we find the line relatively small, but as soon as we get in line, many people get in line behind us and it becomes a huge line. We laugh about it every...

    What're You Reading for September?

    I'm reading The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan. He's a smart-ass and thinks himself far more clever than he actually is, but the book is interesting, so far.

    ALPHAS--Catch and Release/Mission Log #7. 2011

    Someone over at the Atomic Think Tank statted the Alphas for M&M 3rd edition. They did a great job and I'm very tempted to use those to put together a one-shot Alphas adventure for my kids. Their love of the show may be just the "in" I need to get them to try role-playing.

    Rise of the Planet of the Apes

    Did you bother to stick around and watch the post-credits scene? The movie kind of explains what happens.

    Rise of the Planet of the Apes

    It was a great movie and they set a nice foundation for a series. Crossing my fingers for a sequel.

    So I just read The Stand by Stephen King

    My favorite King book has always been Misery. It is well written and very creepy.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder outselling D&D

    As the father of an "aspie" child, I must tell you that I'm deeply offended by your post. If it was within my power, I would ban you from these forums.

    HOBBIT - Dwarf Pics

    Whew! My apologies to them. If they are, for whatever reason, reading this, I loved Urshurak. It is a treasured childhood memory!

    HOBBIT - Dwarf Pics

    I dislike the Thorin interpretation more than I can express. In fact, I much prefer the photo-shopped image. Still, I'll see the movie with an open mind and expect it to be good, but that image is about as far from what I see in my mind as you can get. The brothers Hildebrandt must be...

    HOBBIT - Dwarf Pics

    Oin and Gloin look like tiny Klingons. I pray that Nori is wearing a hat as well. Dori looks like Kelsey Grammer.

    6'3" Gwendoline Christie to play Brienne in A Clash of Kings

    She seems too thin. I didn't really picture Brienne as being overly tall so much as just all-around large. They've got the casting pretty spot-on so far, however, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    Transformers 3

    The line in question is: When he said that line in the movie, a few people in the audience groaned, but I have a feeling that most didn't get it. My wife told me to "get a life" when I complained about it, which was probably the best advice. :)

    Transformers 3

    I didn't like it and, as a Star Trek fan, I was really disappointed that Leonard Nimoy would sell his greatest line like that.

    X-Men: First Class

    I loved it. Fassbender did a great job as Magneto, even if his Irish accent came on a bit strong at the end. What's with screwing with the nationality of the characters though? Moira American? Banshee American? Also, my main complaint, the new "Angel". Why call her that with an Angel...

    The end of subscription based MMOs!?

    I would rather pay a flat monthly fee and get full access to a game I love than have a skeletal game with micro-transactions. I hate micro-transactions and I pray that's not the future.
