That settles it. If Alzrius suggests it, and the word-pronouncer-guy suggests it, then that's what I'm going to do! Vaginarius is gettin' anglocized! Thanks, guys! :D

Ah! Thanks! Oh, that's interesting. Maybe the word doesn't have to be pronounced in the same way it was originally pronounced? Like when a say san serif, I don't pronounce it sahn suh REEF. I anglocize it. Hmmm. When I (try to) pronounce vaginarius correctly within a sentence, it does...

That's how I was pronouncing it originally, but Blackrat's posts indicatad that the As are wrong. They need to rhyme with bay, not bag, if I'm understanding him correctly.

Awesome. Thanks for the extra pronunciation guide. I think I'm pronouncing vaginarius right, at long last. Much thanks for your help! :D

Ooo! THANKS! Hm, that's a little tricky to pronounce. I have been pronouncing it wrong far too long and my tongue doesn't want to re-learn it. Just to clarify... VAY...rhymes with bay. gih...as in the word "gift," but without the "ft." NAY...rhymes with bay. ree...rhymes with bee...

A vaginarius is a maker of sheathes and scabbards--a profession during the Middle Ages. I've looked and looked, but I can't find the pronunciation on the internet. I'm guessing it's pronounced vah JINN air ee us. But it might have a hard G, or a long A, or who knows what. Anybody know?

You shouldn't let a little problem like this have an effect on a D&D game. Here's a link for 25 feet of aquarium tubing. http://www.aquariumguys.com/airlinetubing6.html Have the guy insert one end of the tubing into his poot portal, then run the rest of the tubing down and out his pants leg...

Wow, suddenly I realized something that I had been wondering about for years. In the name of all that is holy, why oh why did George Lucas edit Star Wars and change Han Solo from shooting Greedo first, to Greedo shooting at Han first? The answer is now so clear. An easily upset...

What a lot of you clearly don't get is that insults in D&D-land should be extremely rare and always of a serious nature. Imagine insulting somebody with a gun on their hip in the Old West. Such behavior would be perilous. D&D is like that, on steroids. I wonder how many people who disagree...

I had a DM who overly humiliated a PC of mine and I couldn't do anything about because of his world's powerful justice system, and I hated it. I think I'm still annoyed by that, and probably it has effected my point of view a little bit in this thread. (Can you tell? Haha.)

Well, the DM has a lot of power. The second he stops creating the types of situations that get on his nerves, the problem is solved and everybody is happy. It's not like the PCs are raping women, robbing the bank and burning the orphanage. In other words, the players are not trying to run...

I also think heroes should be good guys and the guys in white hats. But remember, if the DM never assailed the manhood of the PCs with an annoying NPC, this issue would never have come up. The DM is being a troublemaker, plain and simple. If a DM expects every PC to be Sir Lancelot, then he...

I think you're wrong about this. The PCs didn't kill without fear of consequences. The PCs could have died from fighting the NPCs! In D&D, appearances are deceiving. Every battle with NPCs is a huge risk. The PCs weighed that risk and rolled the dice. If you want to punish the PCs for...

I'm about 25 minutes from Warrenten. I'm sending you an email...
