^^ There are days on which I have to keep reminding myself of this. It has never, ever, ever made me a better person. I have never seen it do so for anyone else. I mean, it's fun, but it builds no virtues.

Meh, "virtue" is overrated.

Oh, there is no harm in snark.

It is the boojum you have to worry about.

Fun Facts:
The earliest English Muffins contained nooks but no crannies.

Actual real fact: The threaded metal screw was invented in 1775. It became mass-producible in 1779 when the screw-turning lathe was invented.

Metal screws are older than America. That one kinda bugged me out a bit when I found out.

Wait, are we doing RPG-themed music in here? I've got one, I've got one, I've got one! It's twice the length it should be, but it's not bad for a third-string 70s rock band:

Indeed it was a comment of a thread about rangers, and then I threw the capture from 2300 in there, because nothing says the future like Night Ranger and Jane Child

The only 4E character I really got to play was partly inspired by Molly Hatchet - I was converting a 3.5 ranger dual-wielding hand axes into 4e and didn't particularly have a personality in mind for the character who was male at the time. However, I was reading up on the Lizzie Borden story when Molly Hatchet's "Fall of the Peacemakers" came on and I was particularly struck by the line, "Stop the madness"... And suddenly, I had a two-page backstory about Molly Borden, a borderline psychotic young woman from a family haunted by a six-generation-long history of murder and madness, who still carried the family heirloom hatchet she'd killed her abusive parents with as a teenager. I left the exact nature of the family's "curse" open to DM interpretation as to whether it was caused by a history of mental illness or by being controlled and corrupted by the (possibly evil, possibly sentient) magical axe that had been passed down through the family.

It's fun playing a character who has trouble remembering that the solution to every problem isn't to hit it with an axe until the problem goes away.
