    Makes an old man feel good

    When I was in college, I was frequently told that I looked too young to be there. One of my classmates even said that I didn't look old enough to be out of middle school! All of this went to my head, of course, and I walked around thinking that I was SO cool, because I was young-looking. Last...

    Frukathka Is Smitten

    Belen wrote: "Yep...the blossom of early love is a great feeling." It certainly is! When B.U. and I were in the throes of early love, we were so smitten with each other! I still remember fondly how B.U. would rush to open every door for me and buy me little gifts for no reason. It was very...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    I'm currently playing a Gnomish Paladin of Sune (goddess of beauty) in 3.5 D&D. When I was about 3rd level or so, my Paladin and the rest of the party entered a bustling city that was overrun by refugees. The refugees had fled from their homes because of an abnormally long winter and frequent...

    Stress!!

    Rel wrote: Your husband is trying to hog all the hot gamer chicks under one roof!" GASP! You're right. It'll be like "Hottie Con" all over again.

    What the...?!?!

    Belen wrote: "It is the new cell line censor policy. All porn messages are returned at ungodly hours. You shouldn't leave those types of messages, you darn, dirty mouse!" And you speak from experience? ;)

    Stress!!

    Belen wrote: "Or that newfangled warming gel. Warms on contact even." OK, that's more than 47% vulgar, Mr. Umeria. That's in the 50 percentile at least!

    Stress!!

    Belen wrote: "We could probably fit you too, although I will have to ask the wife." Yes, it was so cute how Belen mentioned this to me yesterday. We are sitting around in our weekly D&D group. As DM, I'm explaining the party's current situation, when Belen breaks in with "By the way, I offered...

    Your Humor Style Quiz

    Hmm.... Belen only 47% vulgar, I think that's a little low :) I am a Ham, by the way... I'm all about corny jokes and innocent fun. My stats are as follows: 23% dark, 50% spontaneous, 10% vulgar. That means 98% of people who are my age/gender have a darker sense of humor than me and 99% of...

    Favorite Snacks?

    Leaping Shark wrote: "For a quick pick-me-up snack, I stop by McD's and get a coffee with a yogurt parfait. For a fast food chain with such a low reputation, their yogurt parfaits are surprising good." Speaking of McDonalds, I LOVE their fruit and walnut salad. I can't believe that something so...

    The Owl and the Pussycat

    Del wrote: "I know, but it's similar, along with early english nursery rhymes." I hate to beat a dead horse, but the English major in me cries out to reply to this. While I agree that some of Edward Lear's works have crossed over into the "nursery rhyme canon" (such as "The Owl and the...

    Favorite Christmas Music?

    Oops... I forgot about one of my all-time favorites: "Santa Claus is Watching You" by Ray Stevens. An excerpt appears below; "Well you may think you can sneak around And get away with somethin' but there ain't no way 'Cause Santa's no fool, he's really super cool He's the secret head of the...

    Favorite Christmas Music?

    For me, Christmas music = Ray Conniff. I grew up listening to his jiving versions of Christmas classics, and will forever love them. I tend to like Christmas music with words over instrumental renditions, especially if they're sung traditionally. My all-time favorite Christmas song is "Breath...

    NC Game Day IX - January 21 (PRE-REG NOW OPEN)

    I posted my game to the NC Gameday website earlier this morning. I'm running the True20 system "Blue Rose" in the afternoon slot. This is the first time I've run in the afternoon, so we'll see how it goes! About the Game: You are a member of a group of adventurers retained by the Queen of Aldis...

    NC Game Day ??? - Did I Miss the Annoucement?

    Yep, I will definitely be running Blue Rose at the upcoming game day. I have the plot all written up and most of the characters statted out. However, I'm having a hard time finding a really good Blue Rose character sheet online. Most of them are seriously lacking, so I've been messing around...

    Guess What?! NC Game Day VIII is September 10th!

    That's fine. If I'm the only one who's interested in this, don't worry about it. Alternatively, you could also consider having a profile page where the members could write up a brief profile for themselves (which might include the systems/games they've run in the past). But, if no one else...

    Let's Write a Bad Module

    Encounter 14 - The Pudding You approach a door which has no lock, hinges, knob, or any other door attributes. In fact, it looks very much like the floor, but it is, in fact, a door. You must speak the Common word for "friend" to open it. Once opened, read the following boxed text: [Text Box]...

    Orcish Wand of Wonder (please read Olgar, Stormrunner, Chimera and CL)

    * Target begins yodeling uncontrollably with effects similar to Tasha's Hideous Laughter * A mime is summoned. The mime will not fight but will stand between the wand wielder and target "miming" for 1d4 rounds. The mime grants a +2 cover bonus to AC. * Wand droops (as if made of rubber) * A...

    Guess What?! NC Game Day VIII is September 10th!

    I know I just posted, but this is in response to the questions about the Game Day website. Here is my two cents: I agree that the term "Walk-in" is confusing. Using the term "Open" would be more obvious. However, there is no one term that is going to make sense for everyone. Therefore, whatever...

    Guess What?! NC Game Day VIII is September 10th!

    I just wanted to add that I also had a wonderful time this past Saturday. I GMed for a fabulous group of people in the morning, and had a blast playing in the Sky Galleons game in the afternoon. While it was unfortunate that Rel's Stupor Heroes game was cancelled, it gave me the opportunity to...
