    Pee Wee's Playhouse on Adult Swim...Why?

    I watched a few minutes of it, so I didn't see the whole episode. The original airings of PeeWee's Playhouse has some animation bits (the opening credits, the Penny cartoons). Were those included? Quite a stretch, I know. But I, too, was wondering what this was on Cartoon Network. Maybe...

    Joker confrimed for Batman Begins sequel.

    Please note that the quotation from Michael Caine said simply, "the Joker [movie]"--it did not say "the Batman sequel." Could it be that "the Joker [movie] = "the Catwoman movie" (at least at a conceptual level)? I'm just sayin'.

    Forgotten Realms - The Frozen North

    Thanks for the additional input. And, of course, I just got the new issue of Dragon in the mail yesterday, and there's an article on Impiltur. Another tidbit to add to the reading. :) Thanks again, everyone.

    Forgotten Realms - The Frozen North

    I am checking out the 2e sources, in addition to the brief mentions in 3e FRCS. Thanks for all the input!

    Forgotten Realms - The Frozen North

    I'm joining a game set in the Forgotten Realms. I know very little at the FR setting (but I have most of the 3.0/3.5 FR books). Here's what the DM said about location: So, my question is, which 3.0/3.5 FR books cover this area? I'm trying to make a character background that will fit in with...

    Dire Weasel's Attach & CON-draining Blood Drain

    Thanks for all the input. I'm the DM; the player is my son. I think I may just overturn the death, since I started the drain on the "attaching round." In the heat of battle, the remains just didn't stand out. And three dire weasels on the same PC, rolling a total of 18 Con drain on the...

    Dire Weasel's Attach & CON-draining Blood Drain

    Regarding a dire weasel's Attach & Constitution-draining Blood Drain Special Attacks: Does the CON drain start the round the Attach happens, or not until the next round? Dead PCs want to know! ;)

    Favorite memories of Land of the Lost

    Marhsall, Will, and Holly On a routine expedition When the greatest earthquake ever known High on a mountain It struck their tiny raft And plunged them down a thousand feet below to the Land of the Lost! Now, I don't know if that's 100% accurate, but it's from memory, for a show that aired 30...

    Chicago Gameday XIV: Aftermath...

    As an avatar of MattyHelms, if he is unable to respond personally when summoned, I must take his place. ;)

    Chicago Gameday XIV: Aftermath...

    I found this out in some "worst game ever" threads (while, earlier today, I was looking for some old threads about Synnibarr). One poster even killed two characters during character creation. If the ratio is time spent creating PC divided by time spent playing said PC, that's division by...

    Chicago Gameday XIV: Aftermath...

    Oh, definitely. I mean, it's like I lost a lot of SAN during a Call of Cthulhu scenario. Now, I've spent two - three years recovering my mental faculties....and I'm ready to rush off again into the miasma of sanity-reducing horror that is Synnibarr.

    Chicago Gameday XIV: Aftermath...

    Everyone should play it once. It's just too bizarre for words. The first time we played it, we spent 2.5 hours making characters. And I accidently killed someone else's character in the first few minutes. That's gotta be the worst character creation : play ratio in history! The second time...

    The problem is never the summoning. It's the binding! :p

    Chicago Gameday XIV: Aftermath...

    Don't make me come down there and run Synnibarr! This is no idle threat. I'll bet Nazriel and I could even summon MattyHelms to join us. ;)

    How many settings do you play?

    Recently, 4. Greyhawk (default for home games, WLD, LG); Cthulhu; Star Wars d20; Eberron. Last year I played in a couple of FR games run by FCWesel. About three years ago there was a CotSQ game, so add FR if defunct games count. And I've played in a couple of PBeM games set in unique...

    I did it!

    Congrats! I proposed to my gf (now my wife) after a Red Lobster dinner. Nervous gamers must be calmed by the sea creatures & vats of butter. ;)
