Re: Car Chases and vehicle combat FWIW, I'm about to start a Dark Champions campaign based on the Car Wars setting. As I expect to be running a lot of vehicular combat, I'd be happy to post feedback on it from time to time.

Re: Smelly Bob I liked this model, so I went with it. In the first round of the tournament, where matches are decided at random, the player gets paired with Smelly Bob (of course). They get into the ring and I describe the unfathomably sick stench coming from Bob and ask for the Con roll. It gets missed, and I describe the effects of watering eyes, wretching, gagging, etc., and that it's going to affect how well he can fight. The player hands me his sheet and tells me to take a look at the disads. Physical Lim: No Sense Of Smell. Rats. Smelly Bob got his arm broke and tapped out.

Re: Smelly Bob

Smelly Bob is a pit fighter. One of his keys to success is that he doesn't shower and lives in a sewer. He's so smelly that opposing fighters have a hard time when getting in close. How would you model this? It's a no-range one-hex CV penalty.

Re: Musings on Random Musings RE: Game addiction I was on WoW, not every moment, but every spare moment. My free time activities had just over time boiled down to WoW. I gave it up for Lent, and forty days later I found I didn't miss it all that much. It was something of a relief, actually. So try shutting the PC down for a month. Worked for me.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings "Let us argue with each other then. By all means, let us argue. Our differences are not petty, they often involve cherished beliefs, and represent our best judgment about what is right for our country and humanity. Let us defend those beliefs. Let’s do so sincerely and strenuously. It is our right and duty to do so. And let’s not be too dismayed with the tenor and passion of our arguments, even when they wound us. We have fought among ourselves before in our history, over big things and small, with worse vitriol and bitterness than we experience today. "Let us exercise our responsibilities as free people. But let us remember, we are not enemies. We are compatriots defending ourselves from a real enemy. We have nothing to fear from each other. We are arguing over the means to better secure our freedom, promote the general welfare and defend our ideals. It should remain an argument among friends; each of us struggling to hear our conscience, and heed its demands; each of us, despite our differences, united in our great cause, and respectful of the goodness in each other. I have not always heeded this injunction myself, and I regret it very much." Senator John McCain

Re: A Thread for Random Musings My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me. It was her beautiful younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was braless. She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a pleasant view. She never did it when she was near anyone else. One day "little" sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me." I was stunned- frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. She pulled off her panties and threw them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to The front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car. Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping! With tears in his eyes, my future father-in-law hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test.....we couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family." And the moral of this story is: Always keep your condoms in your car.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Curious...if the offender had been banned and everyone else had been behaving, then why lock the thread? Why would both actions? Why the two orders? Colonel? If you ordered that Santiago not be touched, then why would his life be in danger?"

Re: Musings on Random Musings Heh. You amatuer. That's happened to me at least three times that I can recall.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I love how, in the half hour after fdbaury was banned and the latest abortion thread closed, there were fully eight of us on the "reading the thread" list. For a brief moment I equated us with the typical crowd that gathers and watches with morbid fascination when someone gets hit by a car, and I laughed. I'm still laughing.
