    Discuss Footwear - basically, doing something stupid instead of preparing to fight a nearby opponent. Coined when, as we tracked a beholder, the party stopped to discuss who was wearing what footwear. We had just killed a minion of the beholder and were trying to maximize our effectiveness by...

    It's a Ptolu-demic!

    Well, it's not exactly Compton, but, sure. Represent! :)

    Eric Noah's Info

    Well, just to add fuel to the fire regarding "when" 4e hit, there is this post, from an author's blog. The blog entry mentions a psionics book, cancelled due to the "upcoming release of D&D 4th edition"--make of that what you will. (Note the date of the blog entry--December, 2005.) I am...

    Enormous Ptolus Map

    They are still listed on the Fiery Dragon webpage, so they might still be available. The 48"x70" vinyl version is $85. Added props to Fiery Dragon: I ordered the Counter Collection Digital: 2005 (since I bought the original last year, and only needed the new stuff). Apparently, they ran out...

    Enormous Ptolus Map

    Got mine, too. It is huge and awesome! But I could not admire it for long, since I had to get back to work. I may have to change my evening plans and just sit at home and admire it. :)

    Canadiana Suite 2006 GAME ON!

    Does this mean I still have to bring my gas grill, genuine Milwaukee brats (that's bratwurst), secret statdium sauce? Well, maybe not, but I'll try to bring something "Wisconsin-y"--maybe just even more cheese curds. :)

    Gilligan's Island (updated!) CoC d20 - scheduled for Fri and Sat, come sign up!

    I, too, would love to play Friday if there is a slot left, or get put on the waiting list.

    Portland or Seattle Areas

    Not only do you get Powells (the world's best book store) in Portland, you also get The H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival every fall. And Voodoo Donuts, which is only open at night.

    Single Best Sci-Fi Television Moment . . . EVAR!?

    My favorite moment, too. And I hate Star Trek. I think that episode started my love of time travel stories. I also really like the end of the "A Stitch in Time" Outer Limits episode, when the FBI agent (Michelle Forbes) goes back in time just one more time....

    Hey, COMMUNITY SUPPORTERS - account still not working? Read here!

    I have sent an email with my issue. Thanks!

    I'm recruiting new players - how does this sound?

    Well, I think you should change "being" to "bring" in the following portion: "we will expect you to being your own..." And, if you do post it somewhere, please do the "rip-off tabs" at the bottom. It's a million times more convenient than having to bug the staff for a pencil and paper. If the...

    Why aren't the bids higher for the fundraiser?

    Well, I think a Teflon Billy counter would be a lot more popular than a counter of me, especially if the counter said "Help Me" on the forehead. :)

    Why aren't the bids higher for the fundraiser?

    See, since there was a thread about the charity auctions (a little promotion), I noticed. So, I went and bid. And I won. Woo-hoo! I'm really excited about this! Sorry about that, Rodrigo Istalindir. Now, if my winning aution had two seats at the table, I'd give you one. Even if I didn't...

    [Review] Horrorclix

    Well, come to GenCon and you can buy the HorrorClix Cthulhu fig. I think it's $80 MSRP.

    Why aren't the bids higher for the fundraiser?

    What auctions? I haven't been around too much lately, but I did vote for the ENnies. And I don't recall seeing any advertising about the charity auctions. Guess I'll go bid now. :)

    Star Wars D20 - need to make a character

    Sadly, I already asked about being a droid, and was told no. So that's not an option. I thought it would be fun just to talk in beeps and whistles, especially when my character had some vital information to impart to others. :D

    Star Wars D20 - need to make a character

    Tonight we're finishing up "season 2" of our D&D game and starting a Star Wars D20 game. I just can't think of what character concept I want to play. Any suggestions? I played a Hutt Jedi Consular in another Star Wars game, so I don't want to play that combination again. But other than that...

    The Etherthreat

    As an RPGA player, I really enjoyed the Ether Threat modules themselves. I played all of them except one (which meant that, despite successfully completeing six out of seven mods, my PC was not allowed to get one of the rewards at the end of the last module--that "penalty" was sort of silly)...
