    Its a Small World is going to be CLOSED!

    Hmmm, how about changing the rides name from "It's a Small World" to "It's a Relatively Small World Compared to You and the Swarm of Pork Rinds Hiding Under Your Skin." Either that or improve the park by adding a new street called "Lipo Lane." Too fat to ride? Come inside!

    What is your favorite winter comfort food?

    Toast and cocoa. I dip the toast in the cocoa. By the end theres a thin layer of butter on the cocoa. I drink the cocoa. It is good cocoa.

    How hard is it to find players?

    My group plays online and while it's not very hard to find gamers, it's hard to find competent gamers who will show up for every session.

    Favorite Fantasy Race: Dwarves, Hobbits or Elves?

    Dwarves because 1: They're often vaguely norse. 2: They're a tough, long-lived race but are flawed. I dislike elves because they're largely portrayed as perfect, pretty humans. Hobbits? Meh. Hobbits have the kind of simple, gluttonous life I wouldn't mind living but they're kind of boring as...

    Have you ever started a legacy thread?

    I once made a thread thiiis biiig. Not "legacy" level but by far the biggest thread I've created. I'm still boggled by the fact that it launched from what I thought was a topic too ridiculous to warrant any real discussion. :)

    Zombie Outbreak - where to hide?

    I'm glad to see somebody else feels this way. Er, several sombodies by the look of the thread. My major complaint was the ending. In an indirect way they killed the cast from the first one and ruined their happy ending.

    War characters give me a headache

    Warlock is from an old pairing of latin words that meant "oath-breaker". Warden is derived from "ward". A lot of the "warrior" ones, well, I guess but they're more like cousins to it. Maybe if they were, um, war-warrior or war-warrior of darkness or war-warrior skald. If the trend continues as...

    Your strangest spur of the moment online purchase?

    I just made it two minutes ago. The S/O and I rented "300" and I thought I'd buy the Rifftrax mp3 to play alongside it. :)

    Spellcasting: Decreasing sleep time to recover Spells?

    I recently had a player quit because of this. She came for 2-3 sessions, got cranky when I said she couldn't prep spells after 2 hours and then just stopped showing up.

    Zombie Outbreak - where to hide?

    MY zombie outbreak? I'm heading to a miniature golf course with batting cages and the like. My outbreak is going to be a comedy. Anyone else think that seeing a zombie beheaded by the windmill would just be awesome?

    How often do your bad guys run away?

    My NPC's run when they're doing poorly and have more to lose by staying and fighting. This has happened twice with one NPC. The first time he opted to slow down/kill the PC's while his buddies ran away but got trounced. The second time the PC's took out his "big gun" (big dragon-y warforged)...

    What are you going to be for Halloween?

    For the last few years my costume policy has been to buy one item and build a costume around it. This year I bought an old, dinged up license plate and a road sign. I'm going to throw on some tattered clothes, put a steering wheel cover around my neck and go to my sisters halloween party as an...

    Do you play in games you aren't enjoying?

    I have. I've played with a group in a LoTR game using Rolemaster. My main gripes were with the system. I stuck with the group because while I wasn't terribly fond of the game I liked the people I played with.

    XP for Traps?

    What I don't get here is that it seems that we DO agree to this. [Edit] I'd agree with 2 only if there were a half-dozen disclaimers.

    XP for Traps?

    No kidding. My point is that if you see the word "impossible" implicit in anything I've said it's a result of whatever mental baggage you're dragging into this. Erm...yes? I mentioned that you've noted this. The reason I mention it there is that I don't understand why you would continue the...
