VERY popular in Japanese business. I read through it once, and while it was interesting, I think you really do have to study it like a text to get much out of it.

It might also help if I had a better understanding of some Eastern concepts. There are some mentions of Water I'm sure went right over my head.

Yes Heckler ... Sun Tsu's Art of War IS popular with them.

I have read it too ... interesting, but I'm not all that "driven" to get ahead and crush the enemies business wise and stuff. :\
 

I am too lazy today to try and catch up. Plus, I really shouldn't even be on here. I should be getting ready to go. LOL

Happy Belated 527 day to everyone. We had a lot of fun. Gaming was great. We finished up our fight and got away but didn't end up killing the BBEG. We are going to have to go back and do so though because he WILL track us down and kill every one of us for taking his stuff. We managed to get away with 7 sentient artifacts while our kobold turned dragon friend Meepo (yes the one from Sunless Citadel, but with dshai's twist) kept the red dragon busy. I got the 2 artifacts I wanted which was a mask and a quarterstaff.

Mask- an ivory mask that when the user puts it on it dissapears into their face. The mask is HIGHLY intelligent (the most intelligent of all the artifacts in fact) and makes it's own spellcraft and detect magic checks for the wearer. As a standard action the mask enables the wearer to cast major image once per day and minor image, mirror image and blur as many times per day as needed for free. Every time the wearer casts a spell, there is a 10% chance that the mask will cast the spell as well.

Quarterstaff- Actually 2 sentient beings thrown together that don't get along at all. One half of the staff is named mimic and the other side doppelganger. Doppelganger is LG and a +3 quarterstaff. Mimic is CN and depending on it's mood could be anything from a +5 to a -1 weapon. Both ends of the staff have a hole that can "swallow" a wand. ANYONE can use the staff and use the wands in it without it being on their spell list and without having use magic device. Another plus: No matter what the level of spell is in the wand (let's say for argument it is a 1st level magic missile wand), the staff casts it as if the wand is the character level of the wielder of the staff. So if a 10th level fighter is wielding the staff and shoots a magic missile it is like a 10th level sorcerer is casting it and they get 5 missiles instead of just one. The downside is that when the staff eats a wand, half of the charges dissapear. I still think the benefits FAR outweigh the downside though. Mimic is temperamental though and if you put a better wand in doppelganger's side, then you have a chance of Mimic getting pissed off and then there is a 10% chance that he will cast any other spell that he wants.

Both items are pretty kick ass.

You guys were chatty last night! We watched the 2nd pirates movie so we could get ready to watch #3, and then we watched Hidalgo. One of our friends had never seen it.

Watching Pirates 2 a 2nd time really clarified some thngs for me. There were a few things I didn't catch the first go-around and I like the movie better now that I saw it a 2nd time.

HIdalgo, eh?

Not bad ... the Indian thing was a little campy, but otherwise an enjoyable movie. :D

Hi, I'm Tim.

Generaly though, I prefer to have my screen name used, since it's less confusing.

Tim, eh?

Stunning. :D

My best friend is also named Tim, so I am kinda partial to the name.
