    Surprisingly Deep Celebrities

    Jayne Mansfield supposedly had a genius-level IQ (163), despite a career as a "poor man's Marilyn Monroe." She is most famous today as the mother of Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: SVU).

    Sherlock Holmes and Cthulu

    OK, rather than start a new thread, I'll just resurrect this old one and ask a couple of questions. I just started reading Shadows Over Baker Street last night. I've only read the first two stories ("A Study in Emerald" and "Tiger! Tiger!"). I really enjoyed them, but I have to asK: What is...

    I beg to differ! Nicely done--a bunch of gamers sitting around a table will embrace the verisimilitude of your work!!! :)

    Academy Award Nominations

    I really thought "Waitress" would snag an Original Screenplay nomination, especially given the circumstances of Adrienne Shelley's death. But even apart from that, I just really enjoyed it--a lot more than I thought I would. Andy Griffith was great. Sadly, we will now be able to say, until...

    Your best fight vs. a Dragon.

    The first time I had a PC encounter a dragon, the party got lucky--we knew it was a Green Dragon. In prepping for the combat, the following spells were cast on my PC (a fighter in plate mail): Polymorph (Annis Hag - Str = 25 and +10 natural armor) Stoneskin Resist Elements: Acid Endure...

    Red Hand of Doom DM question

    It's from the Miniatures Handbook (p. 54), but the MH version seems much weaker than the RHoD version. It does not give any special rules for the breath weapons or other attacks.

    Pet Semetary - Blech!

    Well, a slight correction:

    Diary of the Dead... If you like zombie movies, check it out

    I enjoyed it, BUT.... it's a comedy that moves very slowly. Perhaps appropriate for the genre, but still. It. Moves. Very. Slowly. The actors are great. I just wish that it moved at a slightly faster clip. Definitely worth a rental.

    Diary of the Dead... If you like zombie movies, check it out

    OK, I'm trying to think of all the zombie movies that have come out in the last 10 years. Some people will argue that some of these aren't zombie movies (e.g., "28 Days Later"), but I say if it walks like a zombie and quacks like a zombie, it's a zombie. (in no particular order) Dawn of the...

    'no two creatures more then 30' apart' simple phrase, big fight

    The spell description says they can't be more than 30 feet apart. If they are exactly 30 ft. apart, they can both be affected, because they are not more than 30 ft. apart.

    Please recommend a good Level 6 adventure to me

    I'm a little confused. This is exactly what Red Hand of Doom would do--take characters of 5/6 level to 8/9 level. I just finished playing play it in December, and I'm running it right now. We just had our first session. In about four hours, we had two combats (one a bit long, one very brief)...

    Anyone got a good recipe for Pecan Pie?

    The pies were great! Thanks, Tewligan!!!!! Yeah, I definitely let any pie, especially Pecan Pie, sit a while before cutting into it. Also, I made it on Christmas Eve and we didn't eat it until Christmas Day, so I think that's enough time to wait. :) I was going to post pics, but my new...

    OK, the pies are baking now. I will post some pictures (to taunt Agamon) when they are done. Thanks again for the link, Tewligan! Merry Christmas, everyone!!

    Anyone got a good recipe for Pecan Pie?

    Wow. That does look very good. I should probably make one before Christmas to test out the recipe. Yeah, I should definitely do that. Then I could make a perfect one for Christmas dinner....

    Anyone got a good recipe for Pecan Pie?

    Sorry about that, chief. I guess you don't want me to post pictures of the pie I end up making. ;)

    Anyone got a good recipe for Pecan Pie?

    When I make pecan pie, I usually just follow the directions on the back of the Karo syrup bottle. But the last two times I followed this recipe, the pie was too runny. The problem lies, obviously, with the Karo syrup or their recipe; it couldn't possibly be an error by the person baking the...
