    Your favorite PC! I need inspiration...

    One of my favorite PCs was the half-orc evoker I played for a few sessions a couple of years ago. The entire concept came from the fact that I had rolled a 3 (on 4d6, no less) and was trying to figure out how to work with it without it being debilitating. The answer, of course, was to put it...

    OOC Discussion for Kingdom of Ashes (Leaving Queens, Breaking Swords, & Snake Chicks)

    Damn you fans of teams that can win! Damn you to hell! The Saints look to be in for another typical season... :( Oh, well, BU hockey starts up in a coupla weeks...then we shall see! :)

    NFL - Week 1

    Well, my Saints played typical Saints football and came up with the usual result. :p Hopefully, we can tighten that up and come up with something next week. Geaux Saints! :D

    World Cup Hockey!!!

    Tretiak..Tretiak...didn't he get lit up by a bunch of college kids in Lake Placid? :lol: Of course, even Brooksy noted that was a 1 in 10 chance... Should be a good one tonight with an entertaining final whatever the result. Canada should be fine unless there's a shootout. Then they're...

    Iron Man, by a Marching Band?

    You know, the pep band at hockey games at my alma mater played that song nearly every game. I guess I don't find the concept that weird...

    World Cup Hockey!!!

    I think you're underestimating the markets down there. The south is the biggest opportunity for the game of hockey to grow in North America and the US in particular. A lot of people are getting into it down there. Nashville, I'm told has a great fanbase, Tampa Bay manages to get fans out and...

    Tom Cashel's Pants

    I only wear surplus combat pants...comfortable and I'm addicted to the numerous pockets. I don't know how I survive wearing those silly 5th and 6th pocket lacking dress pants to work... :p But I won't need those for another few months yet. :D

    MD-VA-DC 10/2 Game Day Sign-up Thread (GAME OVER: Fun was had by all!))

    Phoenix, actually. AIM-7 is the Sparrow. :) Aha, I misunderstood. Stupid jumping to conclusions :p I love history and mythology, so it's all good. Excitement factor remains high. :)

    MD-VA-DC 10/2 Game Day Sign-up Thread (GAME OVER: Fun was had by all!))

    I second that! I've been reading through your story hour, Old One, and am really looking forward to experiencing Fallen Glory myself! Heck, I'm pretty much gung-ho about the whole thing. :)

    What are some interesting gamer vacation spots?

    Depends on what you're looking for. Fantasy-wise, I've gotten inspiration from visiting the castles on the Rhein, the Hill of Tara in Ireland (which is amazing early in the morning when there's a mist...), Bodiam Castle in England, the Scottish Highlands...for North America, a visit to a Nova...

    World Cup Hockey!!!

    Keith Tkachuk 4 Russia 3 Certainly wasn't expecting that! Looks like the US got it together for one game...or else Tkachuk put together one hell of an individual effort...anyone see it that can give more details?? Wheee! Still alive! Go BU!

    CIA Training Like Jason Bourne

    If they're covert ops, they've generally gone through some sort of military training, whether basic infantry or one of the many varieties of special forces. This is before they ever are recruited for CIA work. So much of they're actual skills such as weapons, unarmed combat, survival and the...

    World Cup Hockey!!!

    Yes, it does make losing to such teams in the Stanley Cup that much more irritating. :D Rather like some upstart Yankee CFL franchise winning the Grey Cup. :p But, to be fair, TB's done a hell of a job with their franchise over the last couple years, so props to them, they got it done. As...

    What's your favorite Shadowrun edition?

    I voted 3rd edition myself. I first started playing with 2nd and was not really a fan, although I loved the books. Can't beat shadowtalk :) Anyway, a few years later we came back to 3rd edition and I love it. It remains my favorite game. I never had the advantage of playing with people who...

    Link to floorplans of real world castles ??

    Great links! Just have to note that it's Bodiam Castle, not Bodian. Went and saw that one on one of my last trips to England and saw it at a very dramatic moment as a storm approached. Made what is an otherwise rather simple castle into quite the experience. So it's a fave of mine. :D

    Do your Enworld name and avatar reflect who you are?

    Because Phoenix was taken...and Phoenix has been my callsign/avatar type thingy since I was about 8...though it had more to do with the F-14 Tomcat than any mythical creature. The avatar was done by a friend of mine and I still get a kick out of the two Phoenixes :p Am I like a Phoenix...

    Which Hockey Tournament Do You Like Best?

    My favorite would be the NCAA tournament (Now with 16 teams! :D ), but I voted for the World Jr. Tournament, which I look forward to every Christmas. It was great to see the US team win it all this year for the first time ever. Lord Stanley's Cup probably comes in third for me, but it...

    Your favorite race?

    Dwarves, Halflings and Half-Orcs. Halfling fighters are ridiculously fun (to me :D) and I wish I'd had the opportunity to play one more thoroughly. Loved the half-orc wizard I played awhile back, as well. Currently playing a half-orc monk, as well as a dwarven cleric in a side thing we did...

    What games do you own?

    Don't own as wide a variety as some, it seems, but here it is: AD&D 2nd Ed. D&D 3rd Ed. Robotech: RPG Robotech II: The Sentinels Shadowrun 3rd Ed. Mechwarrior 3rd Ed. And I have GURPS: Myth, if that counts, from back when I was running some things in that universe (using 2nd Ed. rules).
