Personally I'd probably have to dispute his claims on the longbow. It was a very specialized weapon requiring a lifetime of training. It also only was applicable in certain regions where yew wood was common. I'd probably say the crossbow was more significant. After all the Pope did say that...

Owing to my prediliction for rolling ones when leveling up characters, I simply institute the 1/2+1 rule myself when I DM. It keeps things tidier IMHO. buzzard

Had a very simmilar situation in which my car decided to overheat this summer, and apparently liked being that way. I tool it to my normal service people and they replaced the fan and said it was ok. It overheated again in the way back home. In it's current state it makes it about 30 or so...

While I do, in fact, have a state job, it appears to be about the only one with minimal Holidays. The policy around here is that all holidays other than Xmas, New Years, July 4th, Labor Day, Memmorial Day and Thanksgiving are traded for the days between Xmas and New Years. I suppose overall this...

Another method is to take a knife (butterknife or your average dull silverware) and stick in in the gap between the lid and jar and break the seal. You can usually manage to release the vacuum this way and get it open easily. buzzard

I have a reputation for being a fast DM around here, and it is deserved. In LG games I generally will always have my slot done well within the four hours allotted. The key to fast combat is to keep people from dawdling and to know what you want to do with the antagonists. I think well on the...

For free?

I'm not sure if you were kidding, or referencing how you get the offer, but this is very accurate. A whole lot of those work at home opportunities are in the field of sending spam email. It's a profitable business that is most often done from home. It is also something I would sooner castrate...

So you have cast the business owner as the villain, and because of this any effort to control unruly children is a bad thing? Why don't you just say that the business owner is a stupid git and has something against certain types of women? In any case, it's not like the business provides a...

Hmm, you know I didn't even think of the free popcorn they give out here at the community college I work at. I guess I don't consider it an amenity since I got sick of it from eating it every day once they started offering it. Go figure. I guess the fact that I can get cold water and ice from...

No, I think being are dubfounded at how an otherwise rational person (you) can posit such a preposterous position (banning misbehaving children is discrimination). People can understand disagreement. They have trouble with arguments which lack reasoning. buzzard

Do you fail to understand the difference between a child making noise and being disruptive? Children running into display cases or screaming at the top of their lungs are not merely "making noise". This is like saying that the cops arresting a drunk for pissing on a doorstep are harassing him...

And it is covered within the scope of the concealed carry law that if the establisment posts that they don't want concealed weapons, it is illegal to bring them inside. You know a condition for service, rather akin to "Keep your children in line", though with substancially more forceful backing...

This is actually a true case. The University of Pittsburgh Law Library's architect made this boneheaded error. The building was designed without accounting for the weight of all the books on shelves. Hence ALL of the books are kept on moving shelves in the basement. You can see this when you...

"Sure, I'll take drink." "I have done adventure before. We save village from bandits. The hoorsuns. I beat down many bandits. But then I decided that maybe I had learned enough to go back to taverns. I think I still have more to learn, so back I come to here. This place always have adventure...

A thing I've found helpful when using an egg slicer on mushrooms is the put them in upside down. They tend to be easier on the slicer in that configuration. buzzard

A large, and typically ugly half orc strolls into the tavern. He looks around, seeing the normal motley crew that this tavern sports and announces "Lupic need work. Lupic tired of bouncing for taverns. Lupic strong and fight well. Who need Lupic the great adventoorer?" With that announcement he...

I'm buzzard, I babysit a server which doesn't need much maintenance for a living. To look busy I read a forum about D&D. buzzard

Egg slicers are also a handy tool for a chef to use slicing mushrooms. You need a fairly hardy egg slicer however since mushrooms are rather at the outer egde of toughness for what they can handle. buzzard

Don't really know why, but I've never cared for fruit on cereal. I do like a little bit of heavy cream or half and half sometimes added on top of the cereal and milk. You know, to reinforce the arteries. Of course my normal staple cereal wise is generally Quaker Crunch granola cereal on plain...
