    Ransom for Retirement (El Jefe Judging)

    With his keen analytical mind Lupic will decide that the lamp-lighter is a suspicious character and will follow him around until he is noticed. This shouldn't take very long. Once the jig is up he will return to the appropriate tavern for refreshment. buzzard

    Lockpicking Hollywood style

    Hmm, never saw that. I'd have to say that if anything, the effectiveness of a shotgun is understated by RPGs. I mean a 12 gauge shotgun is a pretty serious piece of boom stick. While everyone is quite familiar with gun diameters since caliber is a pretty straightforward measurement, gauge is...

    This is why bears get to attack at negative hit points...

    Hmm, I guess that demonstrates that either the hunter was one heck of a lousy shot or that one would be wise to stick to magnum cartridges for bear. The .444 is a heavy, but slow bullet. Bears are quite tough customers with very heavy bones and flesh, so if your bullet doesn't do a lot of...

    John Rogers to write new Blue Beetle!

    New Blue Beetle? Did they kill Ted Kord or something? Excuse me, but I am thoroughly out of touch with current comicdom. buzzard

    Food question

    I'd say there are no rules to this really. It's all a matter of taste. A couple pointers I can offer: Tarragon is only good on chicken Rosemary is pretty strong (easy to get overpowering) oregano is pretty subtle, and can go in most anything to enhance flavor in small quantities...

    Food question

    While I suppose it won't last forever, beef jerky can have a mighty long life. I also have found hot sauce to be pretty immune to time, though that is only relatively short term (few years). buzzard

    Harry Potter IV - Spoilers welcome!

    I just talked to a buddy of mine who saw the movie last night, has read none of the books, and he thought it was the best of the lot so far. He didn't feel that it was rushed, nor did he really feel that he missed out on much. In fact, he felt it was a good enough movie that he intends to go...

    Courtesy in Restaurants

    While I generally find cell phones irritating (including my own), they have become so ubiquitous, that I don't see the point in becoming bothered by their use by other people. I'd have to say the other people at the restaurant were being hypersensitive. It's not like it was a movie theatre or...

    TPK scenario

    Do you expect a DM to choose adventures at your given level of experience or do you just accept that he's throw whatever he purchases at you no matter the specified level? It really is the same thing. Throwing an encouter like this at an unsuitable party is like throwing a +1 or +2 module at a...

    Dice

    I have seen plenty of dice where the pips are painted on rather than indented in the surface. I imagine a little judicious use of sandpaper could result in a blank face replacing the six. buzzard

    Where are you going for Thanksgiving?

    As is traditional I will be celebrating the day with a couple of College buddies who live locally. The one who hosts it lives in Arvada also, and is maybe 10 minutes away. Travel is not really a Thanksgiving tradition for me. Food chores get divvied up for this. I will provide the stuffing and...

    At the most inopportune moment of being ignored, Lupic will belch. "Urr, scuse me!" buzzard

    TPK scenario

    When a DM gets the group together he either informs the party that they need a cleric, or he adapts the encounters to make them bearable. Undead CRs are fairly predicated upon the assumption that clerics will be present. This is fair enough, but it is very likely to get a party killed when...

    Do you wear a watch?

    I used to wear watches but broke too many. I have a fairly nice one with a cracked face that I've been meaning to repair for ten years or so. Now I just use the cell, computer, car clock, etc. buzzard

    Harry Potter IV - Spoilers welcome!

    I enjoyed it. IMHo it vies with PoA for best of the series. However I must admit it did feel a bit rushed to me. The book being a very long one had to be shorn down a great deal to fit into the movie. Especially the aspect of the trouble of Harry and Ron's friendship felt rather shallow. But...

    Movies which surprised you.

    Bummer, somebody already got my standout from Assault on Precint 13. Also the twist in T3 is why I actually thought that movie was in some ways the best of the series. Also, the twist in Total Recall is pretty unexpected one has to admit. buzzard

    I survived my thesis defense! w00t!

    Congratulations. Nothing like that feeling of completion. I remember my defense as being reasonably non painful. Of course there was some serious bloodletting at the Overview, so my act was pretty well together by the end. buzzard
