I love movies! Movies that are currently playing that I have seen in the AMC theatre: The Fountain: Good! Kinda trippy, interesting graphics and a good candidate to see more than once to catch interesting little bits that one misses the first time around. The Prestige: Loved it. Batman v...

My mom's a nurse, and has seen such gems as Chewbacca Digs, Tequilla, and a boy whose name was pronounced shi-THEED. It was spelled, however, in a manner that Eric's grandma would not approve of here. As for characters, I've seen and used several silly names and mundane names. I had a fraal...

Another vote for Litorians. Very cool, and I like the racial levels. Vanarans (also from Arcana Unearthed? I think?) Go, Monkey people! I second the Centaurs. Though a centaur monk in one of my campaigns proved to be fairly crazy, and led me to stipulate they could only take the first...

Um, helllo? she has the MOTHER template. Mothers get +a lot to everything, and thier bonuses are even bigger against their own offspring.

The BEST day is fall, with some leaves green, some colored. Deep blue sky, warm sun, cool breeze. I also like thunderstorms and blizzards that dump a ton of snow. Spring is also nice. I often find in the spring that I look longingly for green grass and leaves for weeks, see nothing, and then...

This sounds an awful lot like something my group would tell someone who missed the session. Nobody ever buys it. I wouldn't, either. If they actually did do this, it is entirely uncool.

Never about D&D specifically, but whenever I'm planning a LARP, I always have dreams beforehand. I wrote the book (it needs revising again) and I coordinate the plot, weapons, food, logistics, help epople with their characters, etc. It takes about a month of working hours a day to put it...

Customizing an adventure to fit the group and the campaign is a talent. Personally, I don't know if I have this talent, as I've yet to run a published adventure. But my main DM generally creates all the stories and plot hooks, and then uses modules for the dungeons. It works beautifully. He...

I signed up last year, and it went absolutely nowhere. I had some trouble picking my story, and fell behind early. By a week into it I was spending more time angsting over how much I needed to catch up than trying to figure out what to write. This year I have a lot of other projects to work...

Drop em off at the station. Railroading is badness in an ordinary game, but in one shot you don't have time to bait the hooks, drop the hooks and gather everyone together to be sure that's what their characters want to do. When you design your pregens, build into them little personality or...

It's dependant on the situation. In one campaign I played in, we had a large, overpowered group, so we fought things with high CRs. With normal XP progression, we'd be leveling far too often, and everything would have gotten out of hand long before the two year campaign was over. The DM...

Sock Gnome! Wear a tunic and leggings, and a big pointy hat, and pin left socks all over yourself. You are the gnome that steals the socks from the dryer. I've never gone as a sock gnome, but I know someone who did, and I've loved the idea of that costume ever since he told me about it. I'm...

I have the compendium on preorder. Amazon will have to to me as soon as it's out, and I am SO excited at the notion of having all my items in one place.

This fits very neatly with my personal theory about morale and work performance. I would be willing to bet that if one took a look, one would find a strong correlation between employee morale and various kinds of shrinkage. Employees that are happy and feel valued and appreciated by their...

For me, the word is decimate. I almost never hear it used properly (ie, to reduce by 10%). Instead it's usually used for COMPLETE AND UTTER DESTRUCTION. Cuz it sounds cooler. It is a cool word. But for some reason it really boils my cabbage to hear it incorrectly. Especially in conjunction...

At the end of the session, the players vote for the best player of the session. It can be for the best bit of roleplaying, the saver of the day in combat, the person who made us laugh the most, anything, really. The winner gets a gold poker chip which can be turned in for 100xp, OR to turn one...

I'm biased towards PCs, partially because they're easy and my brother builds them. Since I don't know much about computers other than how to operate my own (when it's functional), I trust his opinion on things, and this is what he said once about Macs. Macs are very good at what they're good...

Socks. Jeans from walmart with a hole at one hip and a patched hole on the other hip. Old MSU glee club t shirt. Blanket around my shoulders, cuz it's chilly, and undergarments under my garments.

I'm from Detroit, and I don't generally care about baseball (I like hockey) but I've been watching the Tigers games. Go them! The team has, so far, pulled itself out of a craptastical rut and the city is excited. Good for them, and good for Detroit.

I know where I work, we don't keep nutritional information on hand, and are not allowed to look it up for customers in the store. My guess is because a lot of our products (particularly the bakery items) are pretty bad for you, and they don't want to lose sales. We are encouraged, however, to...
