I am gonna go heat up some pizza for lunch. We got some Dominoes thin crust pizza last night. I was quite surprised....it was really good. I love thin crust pizza. I just hate getting it because it costs the same as a reg pizza but you are getting like half as much foodage. :\

I much prefer deep dish pizza .... :\

Foodage is an EXCELLENT word though!

Dog Moon, the ninja bard.

A ninja bard? [scratches his cap trying to wrap his imagination around that one]

Kids have that effect on people.

Very true Aeson ... very true. Hmmm.... [ponders]

She's already been kidnapped by mind flayers once. :\

You know ... when I first read this I thought you meant your daughter.

I honestly don't know much about spell jamming. In Dshai's world, it is not spoken about. Only those who know about it do it (none of which ,until now, are originally from his world) and they aren't allowed to speak to those who are uneducated on the subject. Is that how it is in the books?

Never was personally fond of spelljamming, I must admit. Don't know why. :\

Wow, Myc. That was quite the mad posting flurry.

Here is the answer. Original spelling is thegn.

I'm aware of what a thane is, I was quoting the original performace. But I'm apparently I'm the only one who finds it funny. Perhaps it's becuase you're missing John Cleese's voice when I type it.

The correct response to
"Thane?! Thane?! What the bloody hell's a thane?"
is
"You'll thoon find out, thweety!"
Or
- "It means you shall be king hereafter! And you Banquo, you shall not be king. . . yet you shall be royal!"
- "Oh goody, I'm going to be queen."

I don't normally drop by these parts, but as I happened by(Running a search on for another thread) and saw my name I thought I might make a remark about my world and SpellJamming. First off I don't usually run anything by the book, so the Spell Jamming concept was taken, but not the preset "society" of Jamming. The rock is still there, but It is not as written in the books. No flash powder etc etc. Agaeal (My world) is one of many, but it is considered unenlightened by the greater council (The Rock of Bral or if you go by one of my players the rock of Gibraltar). Anyway this means that the inhabitants are unaware of Jamming and there are reprcusions if Jammers are obvious. These reprecusions can be from many sources, but it usually comes down to money - Trade rights and mineral rights are very protected so the entity that owns the rights to a sphere might not want that particular planet from knowing and thus start trading without him being in place to profit from it. In the case of Agaeal though it is a God Pact. The Old gods who are now back in power know of Jamming and saw what it did to their first civilization and they despise it (Mainly because the gods divvy power based on the number of follwerers they have and Jamming adds a particular wrinkle into their power scheme - so they have banned it. A odd ship here and there is not of concern as long as they remain unseen and unheard. Thus they sent a representative to the rock and made their demands known or they would use their might against all Jammers.) Unenlightened planets are often used as prisons for wayward Jammers as well since there is no way to get off world or a planet may be kept unenlightened due to a relic of spelljamming that could sway the balance of power being hidden there. It just depends. Its all fun though and if the group heads that direction I will be happy to dust of the Jamming rules and give em the sail. Have fun.

Well that was a nice surprise!

True ... don't see D'Shai in here too much.... Pity.
