    Anyone know a lot about cancer?

    I'm sorry to hear that, Treebore. I've got some heart disease in the family history (again, my mom's side of the family--I'm starting to wonder what was in the water/air/food supply of Cedar Rapids, Iowa in the 1920s & 30s....) No, I really don't think she has been understating the severity at...

    Anyone know a lot about cancer?

    Thanks for all the good vibes. I'll take 'em! :) Well, she had a hystorectomy years ago for other reasons. Chemo was initally discarded because her oncologist said that there weren't any types of chemo that worked well against her type of cancer. That's why the sudden "let's try chemo" is...

    Anyone know a lot about cancer?

    I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for, so here's a few more facts & thoughts. About three and a half years ago, my mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor. While doing some prep work for the surgery, doctors found some cancer in her small intestines. So, four weeks after the brain...

    Anyone know a lot about cancer?

    ....and can explain it to a mere mortal like me? I am looking for some information about cancer. Some very general, laymen's terms kind of information about mutiple cancers in one person. Googling turns up a billion hits, but the hits usually link to articles filled with medical terms that...

    What happens if you miss your flight?

    I once called about taking a later flight, but decided not to due to the "change" fee. I got to the airport, and they said I wasn't on the first flight! The gate attendant checked, and said I had changed to the later flight. When I pointed out that I never paid for the change, she put me back...

    D&D 5E (2014) RPGA LG - Druid3 going Arcane Hierophant--Drd or Wiz next?

    My Living Greyhawk druid is going for Arcane Hierophant (eventually). He was Drd2/Wiz1 and died. The next time he levelled up, he went Drd3 (to get the 2nd level spells, which have been a life/party saver). Now I'm wondering if should take my first Wizard level next, or just finish out my...

    What would you like to see in a WW2 era pulp rpg

    I like my Pulp WWII totally weird, so Pinnacle's Weird Wars (d20 version, sadly out of print) is just fine for me. There's also HinterWelt Enterprises Shades of Earth (Iridium system) which I got at the last EN World Chicago gameday, but I have not read it yet.

    Gaming Terms Not (yet) in Wikipedia

    Someone could also add the role-playing context to the Homebrew disambiguation page.

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    Yeah, that thread is awesome. Lurking in that game would have been hysterical. I just hope that I can make my Synnibarr game worse better for everyone!

    Hey! Soleil MoonFRYE! It's Raven c. s. McCracken! Really, captial letters would be so pretentious! ;)

    The "?" is Shane L. He was a walk-in.

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    Hey, you didn't have to take it home!!!1 :eek: Synnibarr was the first, and still the best, with the giant mutant death bears. For especially effective use of such bears in Synnibarr, please read this thread from the Kenzer Co. boards. 1Of course, I started reading it that night.... :o

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    Any time! I had a great time at the Gameday--it's good to be back after missing so many of them. Thanks to Games Plus for hosting, Buzz for organizing, and all the GMs for running games. I had a blast in TracerBullet's Ghostbusters game (where my character was the "best game designer ever'")...

    Do I get double if I get her to give me "the look"....during the Ghostbusters game? ;)

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    Yes, I already have it. And then some (thanks to TB42). But imagine "the power of three" (three is a magic number) haunting cons and gamedays for all the eons.... :p I do have only one copy of The World of Synnibarr Ultimate Adventurers Guide, though. A quick search of Noble Knight Games...

    Nutritional Information and Restaurants

    That's exactly why I try to look up the information online before I go somewhere to eat. :) I was just very surprised that a national chain like Fuddruckers didn't have any nutritional information online. Maybe they only allow franchises in states that don't require posting of nutritional...

    Nutritional Information and Restaurants

    That's why I get a buffalo burger, no sides, and drink iced tea. The only real calories are from the buffalo burger + the bun--and that's it. I would like to know the info. for that one item, but they don't seem to have it available. The hamburgers + fries are great there; I just don't eat...
