[QUOTE="ledded, post: 1399016, member: 12744"] Yeah, and I actually read it too, along with several other books on investigative techniques and PI training information. Imagine OldDrewId's annoyance when I have Willie do something or search for some info and he asks "are you sure you can do that" or "is it really that easy to get an address on someone with an unlisited number?" and I grab out my references and go all Claven on him; even worse is quoting the web sites from memory that licenses P.I.'s use to get info from. Sometimes I think he really hates me :o THAT was a great moment in a *very* well done episode. Yeah, they make fun of me, but when I come in with a gigantic COLOR (you forgot to note that the various pipelines and trunks were denoted in color, P, it does make a difference) map of the entire power grid of the southeastern states that's bigger than a throw rug then I'm everyone's friend. Oh no, but actually have a pair of bolt-cutters, gasmask, and bag of beef jerky in the trunk of your car (detailed exact location on your equipment sheet) and a good reason to have them and all of a sudden you're the putz :D Seriously though, OldDrewId is also an extremely well-read individual. He is of course the master of all web research and information gathering, but he is also a very intelligent guy who reads a ton of different and varied things. He also spends a lot of time thinking about the various horrible and mentally scarring things he likes to do to us, and as a result is also the master of in-game props too. I was once killed by a poisoned message that I was handed to read in a D&D game, and actually cut my finger on the thing tying it together. I couldnt actually wonder about how I got poisoned then, could I? (BTW, that was the coolest character death I've ever had in an RPG and it wasnt even in combat). Plus the OldDrewId watches lots of TV. ;) [/QUOTE]
