And I didn't mean to imply that you meant to imply that Churchill wrote them, Voadam.:D That was just a little FYI to make it easier for people to look them up. War time press gangs could get very aggressive in grabbing enough warm bodies. Like Voadam said, they'd grab men from the merchant...

The NHL needs to commit itself to preserving small market teams with solid fan bases. Something precious will go out of the game if teams like the Oilers and Flames have to fold or move to a locale where people don't care about the game. Revenue sharing and salary caps may seem the most...

The Hornblower novels were written by C.S. Forester. From what I remember about British press gangs, the ship's captain would send out some of the regular crew (IIRC Marines) to round up able-bodied men. The press gangs would try to kidnap as many sailor types as possible. The officers...

Re: Precarious position? Chairman, the Canadian teams are having problems because the players are paid in American dollars, but the tickets are priced in Canadian dollars. The exchange rate is killing the Canadian franchises.

Why oh why is the party following the advice of the most irrational member of the party? Never thought I'd see a paladin involved in a demon summoning. If Eadric wasn't imperilling his immortal soul before, he certainly is now.

Yeah, Go Canucks! Don't know what happened to my Leafs, though. Now that was a debacle.

Mama? ...it can't be that simple, can it?

This is better than most novels I've read lately!

::faints in shock:: Thank you, Sepulchrave II.:D

I'd also recommend Scarred Lands. It's very original and can be as dark as Ravenloft. It's a high magic setting and easily lends itself to epic save the world campaigns (if you like that sort of stuff). Homebrewing a monster or town into the setting. My group converted our 2e Greyhawk...

Aw shucks, Nightfall. You'll give me a swelled head.:o :D

Thanks, Rogue. We know for sure we're facing druids, their companions will include at least a few giant snakes. Their leader is a half-human half-hag. We know from a Commune that her second-in-command is not human. Further info: the DM throws a lot of mind-influencing spells at us.

Our campaign is coming to an end Sunday :( and we're facing the Big Showdown. My cleric has a scroll of Summon Monster VIII and I'm looking for advice on the best creature to summon with it. The campaign's set in the Scarred Lands. We're up against some evil Druids led by non-humans (at least...

That was fantastic, zyzzyr. Please continue this!

So was Nolin really putting the moves on Cadrienne at this point, or was the makeover aimed at Arcade the Insensible? Loved the slapstick feel of the last two sessions. The Thirsted archer and the war-bull steaks were a riot.

Bah, prudence is for sissies.:D A true Adventurer pursues evil at all times, even when they're half-dead and out of spells. Old Adventurers never die, they just never live to get old!

Does Richard the Red know how to make an entrance or what? Fanfares are for amateurs. It's so much more menacing when he simply shows up.

I'd love to see a Leafs-Canucks final.

We're having problems with those Asian Ladybugs 'round here. They're driving out the nice red ladybugs. You could let the red ladybugs walk on your fingers, no problem. The orange asian ones bite. People have been vacuuming them off their windows in the rural areas.

There's no such thing as too many Tentacles. How about some slime? Awesome, dude.:D
