What's Got Into that Sig?

Mine's a quote from "Atrahasis" (an old Mesopotamian myth considered to be a precursor of the Biblical "Great Flood" story). The god Ellil (aka Enlil) complains to the other gods about how something must be done about this noisy, overcrowded mankind. Droughts, pestilence, and other scourges of humanity work, but only for so long. Eventually, the earth is flooded.
 


Lessee...

My First Law of Adventure Pacing - action sequences work better if you take a beat once in awhile.

"Hot Gamer-on-Gamer Action" - my online games. A parody of less wholesome websites.

Gallery - my own personal sideshow of [stuff] that makes me laugh.
 

I'm... not much of a gnome fan. [/understatement]

Dark Sun's gnomes were butchered in ages past, thus there are no gnomes in Dark Sun.
 

My signature...has been growing since I got here at EnWorld...and its self-explanatory...as well.

And for the official record, this signature is of my own making...no outsource quote, book, or the like.

Straight from me....*points below*

Mine's a quote from one of the gazillion webcomics I read. This one's from Ozy and Millie, an utterly hilarious and occasionally thought-provoking one (despite my political differences with the creator) that I'm not quite up to date with yet.

Well, the solution is obvious.

I'll come up with a plan of some sort!
 


The Three-Legged Pig Joke (short version)
-------------------------

A farmer was showing off his three-legged pig to a friend.

"This pig is very strong and very smart," the farmer said. "One time, a tree had fallen on me and the pig pushed it off and saved my life. Another time, our house caught fire in the middle of the night and the pig jumped the fence and ran around the house making all kinds of noise to wake us up. He saved the whole family."

The friend said, "That's amazing! By the way, how did he lose his leg?"

The farmer replied, "Well, a pig like that you don't eat all at once."
 

At first I thought that my sig was self explanitory - but I guess I could go into detail
The e. Wiggens quote is a bit of a spoiler, but the book is a classic, so its sort of like saying you are going to spoil the ending for LotR.



Ender Wiggins is recruited into a space military school with other boys at 8?
He is told he is playing a military simulation of the human fleet he may command when he grows up. He is told that a famous general is doing the stratgey for the aliens. But he keeps having dreams, and he is so involved in the game that he skates along the edge of a meltdown. He wins the final battle, but it breaks him. The adults watching the game start cheering, as of course it wasn't really a game at all. It really speaks to the time and energy I invest in fantasy worlds.

The Quotes from recent games- our high lvl paty (14thish) knows there is one beholder in a cavern ahead of us. And we try for an hour to come up with a plan that is not guarenteed to kill at least one of us. Finally another divination reveals there are two aberations waiting for us - prolly 2 beholders.
We the druid summoned 6 dire badgers, then wildshaped to the same, supplemented by celestial badgers from the clerics of the party - and we dug a tunnel around the beholders, using passwall to create the first opening, and stoneshape to provide an tiny air shaft.
who knew my +11 in profession mining would prove so useful. We tunnled under 2 other major encounters over the next 2 sessions. We were caught coming out of the last one.

The quote from me, this character is a meele cleric and during the campaign's climatic battle I never swung my Dire Pick Axe, or cast any offensive spells. I spent the whole battle trying to manuver for postion, as the others ran interferance for me. I was whining a little at the end of it and had to be reminded that I had ended the quest by destroying the entire evil temple and all the drow it fell on. I felt more than a little silly about it.
