    Excited to Die: Do you keep backup characters?

    In the session I DMed last week, I had the party fight their mirror images. It was a tough and long fight and it really came down to the luck of the roll. For Belen, luck was certainly against him in that fight. The mirror image of his halfling wizard was just kicking his PC's butt! In three...

    Late, lamented (or unlamented) fast-food chains

    Well, Fuquay-Varina is actually the result of the merging of two previously separate towns: Fuquay Springs (thus named for the natural mineral springs which bubble up from the ground) and Varina. I have heard people "mispronounce" the name of Fuquay-Varina in a way which would offend just about...

    A Puzzlement

    I used to have the Sea Elf avatar which you can choose from the ENWorld avatar selection list. Then, one day, I saw someone using the Sea Elf avatar and realized that I needed a new one. I wanted something truly unique! I ran a Google image search for sexy fantasy babes (OK, maybe I didn't use...

    Cthulu's Librarian wrote: "There are plenty of Little Ceasar's around, most of them are in K-Mart's and strip malls." OK, so I did a Google Search online and there's a Little Caesar's in Fuquay-Varina!! Just a scant 15 minutes from our house. Ooooooh, I know what's for dinner tonight! Thanks, CL.

    The santa thread

    I never believed in Santa as a child, and I can't say that it seriously harmed me or my imagination. (After all, I game and that's the biggest use of my imagination that I can think of!) My parents never made an effort of convincing me that Santa didn't existence, nor did they encourage me to...

    Late, lamented (or unlamented) fast-food chains

    There is a Sonic in Holly Springs, NC (just minutes from our house). I've only eaten there twice, but their ice cream treats are quite yummy. There are also Boston Markets and Checkers here in NC. I didn't realize they were so rare in other parts of the country. Restaurants that I remember...

    Just Got Hit By A Drunk Driver

    I'm really sorry to hear about this. The thought of drunk driving just makes me sick. I knew a couple of folks who boasted that they drove drunk lots of times (unfortunately, it was never around me, so I couldn't intervene). It was almost like they were proving how "in control" they were...

    Rel wrote: "I'd be happy to sit down and help you work out some adventures for your campaign sometime. And not just because you have pretty eyes." Why, thank you, Rel. I hear they glow a lovely shade of red when I'm DMing.... especially when I throw an undead dire lion against three 3rd level...

    Need Adventures

    OK, so after I posted my message (at 10am), I started thinking about what kind of adventure I'd like to run for my next game. Before I knew it, I had typed up a 3 page outline for an entire campaign. And then I log onto EnWorld and see Rel's advice about creating a campaign outline. Hmm... is...

    Need Adventures

    Well, Rel, I've been running my own home-brew campaign for the past year, and I feel like I'm really lost! I didn't have an overall storyline in mind when I started running it, and now it's gotten so out-of-control that I have no idea where it's going. I would like a little more structure in my...

    Need Adventures

    I would also value recommendations for good print adventures (which start at first level). I ran Freeport about a year ago and loved it! The story and writing were fabulous, and I would love to find an adventure with the same level of quality. All recommendations are welcome!

    The Owl and the Pussycat

    OMG! I think I've just become an official ENWorlder! I have over 50 posts and Rel just flirted with me!

    So who's DONE with their shopping?

    Belen and I finished our Christmas shopping this evening, and I literally just finished wrapping the gifts. I do have a funny shopping anecdote to relate. We stopped by Hallmark this evening to purchase Christmas cards for close family members (we exchange greeting cards on Christmas morning.)...

    The Owl and the Pussycat

    Rel, just so that you know, Belen couldn't stop chuckling when I recounted your comment. It is my sad lot in life to unknowingly use double entendres (most of which are shockingly inappropriate). I look forward to that wonderful day in the future when I am clever enough to say shockingly...

    Company Parties

    I work in a library and so one would think that holiday parties would be quite tame, but one would be wrong! Yesterday at our yearly holiday bash there was no booze, but someone did bring in a rum cake. (The kind that is soaked in rum after baking). One of my co-workers had two massive slices...

    I just have NO idea how to respond to that! :o

    So, what is your desktop wallparer? (new thread for an old subject)

    I love Classical and Pre-Raphaelite art and usually have that on my desktop at work. Examples include: http://www.renaissance-gallery.net/LA1001.jpg http://www.renaissance-gallery.net/img209.jpg http://www.renaissance-gallery.net/img220.jpg And, my all-time favorite piece of artwork...
