Only caught part of the commercial, but it was a gnome reporting on the great travelling he did that he booked through travelocity. There's a couple of funny shots of him (the garden gnome) skiing, and one blurry fast-motion type shot (that you can't really see anything on) with the voice over...

Just saw a TV commercial for Travelocity. It was all about the travels of a gnome. I wonder if the two things are related??? :eek:

I'm surprised at how light this thread is. Has anyone else read this book (either for the club or not)?

Grunlor runs to the fore like a dwarf possessed. "Die, abominations of life, perversions of good, die!" (He looks a bit wild eyed. He's not exactly sure where this is coming from.)

OK. Grunlor's updated. Question: Did the bag they received from Arnis contain 250gp?

Lazarus, I'm in the process of levelling Grunlor. How are we doing hit points?

Sorry to tell you guys this, but, well, since you posted, you're now members. :p. Seriously, there's no "membership" to the book club. Participate if you wish. There's no requirement to participate in every discussion/read every book either. Thanks for being involved. FYI: Here's the link to...

I've started the discussion thread on Pattern Recognition. You can find it here: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=73459 As a reminder, the selection for Feburary 15ths discussion is Eragon.

zenld must be off on Holiday, so in his absence I'll start the discussion on Pattern Recognition by William Gibson. Generally I liked the book. It was a fast read (took me about 5 days to finish). Generally, I like William Gibson. I think this is one of his better recent works. For me...

Grunlor reporting for duty.

Just got back from my local WotC store (Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island). Picked up 3 boxes of the new D&D mini expansion Dragoneye and the Axis & Allies board game at 20% off. Spoke a bit with the clueless guy behind the counter, he said that the store would be increasing the discounts up...

zenld, if you're around could you please start the discussion thread (and kick off the discussion) for Pattern Recognition? If there is no thread started by tomorrow afternoon, I'll create one myself.

It can be a funny site at times. It's meant to be a place where obscure or difficult questions get answered. I think that the main responder (Cecil) has been writing the article for a Chicago newspaper for 30+ years. Poke around on the site abit; I'm sure you'll find something interesting...

See link: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_309b.html The question was first asked in 1980 and appears to have been updated sometime in the mid-nineties. Favorite quote:

In the elevators in my office building, they have these lcd screens where you get the weather, some news, random trivia, etc. (this way nobody has to stare at the doors or floor indicator). In the bottom 1/4 or so of these 7" screens they display ad space. Somebody actually paid for an ad for...

Thanks John. Updated the sig. Ed, you should look around for the box game, or wait for the new version of "Basic D&D" to come out. I found it a great introduction to the game. Not rules heavy, not overwhelming. Very easy to get someone sucked into the fun of a simple dungeon crawl. WotC...

Assuming you're talking about the gold box that came out shortly after 3.0 came out, then the following applies: The box set is how I got back into gaming, and how I got my family into gaming. My wife had never gamed, and my kids loved the box set. They were 8 and 6 at the time and were...

I'm on public transportation way too much. I take a commuter rail (LIRR) into NYC and then the subway (MTA Subway) to my office. I'm on public transportation about two hours a day. I have to admit, I hardly ever read D&D related material on the train. If I do, it's generally an RPGA module...
