"Weird" Al Yankovic, Gary Larson, Stan Lee, and Alan Moore. Johnathan

My players are creeped out by the boneless - the animated flesh of skinned victims. They refused to have their PCs get anywhere near the boneless, bombarding them from a safe distance. And I agree with the meenlocks - I came very close to a TPK with three of the little buggers in my most...

Excuse me, waiter? I distinctly ordered my post with no guff! Johnathan

Where some would say "ruin," others would say "enhance." Johnathan

I just finished Jonathan Maberry's Relentless, so now it's on to the next in the series, Cave 13. This time Joe Ledger and the Rogue Team International is up against some newly-discovered Dead Sea Scrolls that might actually contain workable magic. (They've been up against zombies, vampires...

I'll take it anywhere from medium rare to medium well. And - don't give me any guff for this - my favorite steak sauce is good old-fashioned ketchup. Johnathan

I habitually donate half of the leave (vacation days) I earn every year, because I never take it otherwise. (My wife can no longer travel so we never go anywhere; I usually take one week off a year when my granddaughter comes to visit, and that's about it, other than taking a day of leave on a...

Well, if it's time.... Johnathan

Canceled, back in two weeks. Johnathan

The one time I hurled a book across the room was quite involuntary. I was a teenager, reading a scary novel in bed. My bed was situated halfway along the wall, with a floor lamp behind the headboard that was pointed over the headboard my way, which gave me much more light to read by than the...

Protected shrine from demonic forces. Johnathan

A couple more I just thought of: Jeffery Deaver's "Lincoln Rhyme" series, about a crippled forensic criminologist; and Jonathan Maberry's "Joe Ledger" series, about a Delta-Force sort of organization that deals with the "X-Files" kinds of issues: zombie outbreaks, alien technology...

I like Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's "Agent Pendergast" novels: 21 so far and apparently one more to go. I'm also a big fan of Scott Lynch's "Gentlemen Bastards" series (Locke Lamora), and while there's only three out in that series thus far, he's got plans for at least seven novels...

Ooh, a Barsoom reference! Kaor, Mannahnin! Johnathan

With my luck, I'd take the $10,000,000 and all of the money would be post-dated to a date far enough in the future I couldn't use it for quite some time without it appearing to be an obvious counterfeit. But I still don't want to go back to being six years old again, so I guess I'd risk having...
