    LotR via World of Warcraft

    KeK. That is too funny. For those that don't know KeK is what shows up for alliance players of WoW when an Orc says LOL. You can't understand what the horde are saying if you are alliance, and vice versa. -Shay

    Good movies that have bad DVDs?

    Thinking about what a previous poster said about long DVD cutscenes before actually getting to start the movie I would like to add the Firefly complete series. You have to go to 3 screens or so just to get to the play this episode and there is another screen in between that and playing. I...

    When you are DMing your setting

    I get that email three to four times a year. Thanks for posting this. It was interesting to see another view, even if it might just be skewed another way. The photographs were magnificent. I really need to get to Europe someday. -Shay

    Stand Up Comedy

    It has been leaked that it was drug induced as well. He was a great comedian, and he is missed.

    Does the fast turnaround to dvd hurt movie sales?

    Yes! For the reasons listed above. It costs less to own a DVD than to go out to the movie with a date anymore. What is the point? With High Def TV's, surround sound, etc. you can pretty closely replicate the theater experience without the inconisderate people that are talking or crying or...

    Bookstore treats D&D books like Playboy

    I know when I steal I usually "cross the border" to Michigan and I steal exclusively from Barnes and Noble. Weird situation, not sure what the deal is but I would guess that theft is the issue. Lansing, there a college there? (I know East Lansing is MSU, not sure how close your store is to...

    How to be a better player

    I would say learn the rules. Some people, including myself sometimes, are new to the rules and maybe don't understand them. That is fine. When the DM has to tell you what to roll and what to do everytime your character does something and you have been playing for 3 months then that is where I...

    DnD will never die...

    That is a nice story. I too like to hear these types of things. It is always nice to hear about how someone helped another gamer. This year I plan on buying a couple of D&D Basic Sets (I think that is what they are called. The boxed set that came out last year with light rules?) and donating...

    WoT Book 11: Knife of Dreams

    I just finished CoT. I stand by my complaints in this thread, but I can't wait to finish KoD. I am starting tonight! Thanks all, this has been a good thread. Nice chatting with fans of the series, and I always enjoy reading people's interpretations and ideas. -Shay

    Drizzt The Drow

    Just want to state that I love the Forgotten Realms, and I still play there. If I started a new campaign, most likely it would be in the realms. That said I try not to voice my Drizzt complaints too much, and I really don't hate him that much, I am just done with that series. I would rather...

    Do you reequire your players to think?

    I think it is important to have players think in a game. It is part of the game, a big part IMO. That said sometimes people are too tired to think, not smart enough to figure it out, or just plain bored with thinking and want action in a game. If you judge your players right on those nights...

    Drizzt The Drow

    Gonna have to agree with you here. The Dark Elf Trilogy was great, years ago, but the spawn of Drow PC's and such that it created made it very annoying. I think it's great the RAS is still read widely but I usually pass on his work. To my knowledge Drizz't was always good. If you read the...

    Nudge, Fudge, or Sludge?

    Good thing I always have a backup plan. Now if it works? That will be another story. Hey at least I am trying out creative options. Six months ago in our last campaign I would be crying out about our impending doom. -Shay

    Stand Up Comedy

    I'd have to go Mitch. I also like Chapelle, Dave Atell, Vince Morris, Chris Rock, and Richard Pryor. Bill Cosby to some extent as well. -Shay

    WoT Book 11: Knife of Dreams

    I too ordered from Amazon and was surprised to see it arrive on the release date last Tuesday. I think they must have pulled a JK Rowling and were sitting on it at the post office. I did preorder it a month ago, however, so maybe that is why I got mine so quickly. Oh and even though the...

    got Wilderlands?

    I got Wilderlands from them this past week so you might be o.k. Took them a bit but I was waiting on the Jordan release. Sorry to hear about the Black Company. Good Luck -Shay

    got Wilderlands?

    Yes I did! I felt like spending a bit on myself last month and picked it up off of amazon. I ordered it with the new Robert Jordan book so it got here a few days ago. I haven't even opened it yet, but then again I haven't had the time to really devote to looking through it. That sucker is...
