  1. Unfortunately, the majority are either bone dry or soaking wet.
  2. https://ansereg.com/what_tolkien_officially_said_abo.htm
  3. I stopped going to their version of the NGD for that reason. The Miniatures Page is another site with a lot of right-wing inclinations, more so than the GURPS forums, and tending even more to extreme. I left that site altogether.
  4. Check out Surbrook's Stuff. A lot of characters from TV and film, including Darth Vader, have been written up in HERO terms. Note that you'll have to update them to 6th Edition.
  5. They say the devil's in the details I know what they mean I'm walking in the wasteland With the Ghost in the Machine There's a simulated sunset Starlight in my eyes The skies are filled with miracles And half of them are lies Are you real or not? It's a fine line Are you ready or not For the light of day Are you real or not? These are strange times And I don't want to live this way When you wake up from a nightmare And it's worse when you're awake And there's no one you can turn to And there's nothing you can take Are you real or not? It's a fine line Are you ready or not For the light of day ? Are you real or not? These are strange times And I don't want to live this way
  6. That film was probably Jennifer Connelly's breakout role. While she had already starred in Labyrinth, this movie is what made people take notice of her.
  7. Really? I think it's distinctive. I may craft some terrain based on it.
  8. Chimney Rock National Historic Site
  9. I didn't know you lived in San Francisco!
  10. To a large extent Kyrgios beat himself. He lost his temper several times during the match, while Djokovic kept his cool. This may be Djokovic's only grand slam title this year, as his anti-vaccine stance may end up with him being barred from entering the US Open. Nadal may also be absent because of his injury. I know he wants to be able to enter, but it's not guaranteed.
  11. Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker also worked together on the 1975 series The Ghost Busters.
  12. Speaking of board games, did anyone play Pandemic during the lockdown?
  13. I was playing a board game called Splendor, which is a resource management game. I noticed the gem colors matched the colors from Magic: The Gathering, which got me thinking. While the games aren't rpgs, why not combine them to make an adventure log rpg-style? The Magic card game has wizards doing battle, but even high-level adventurers need their down time. The Splendor game can represent the wizards trying to gain wealth and political influence when not fighting for supremacy. After all, magical research is expensive. Just have a diary to detail the character's adventures and business dealings and make a story out of the games.
  14. I was one of King Arthur's knights, except this was in modern times. None of the other Arthurian characters appeared in the dream; all the knights were new characters. Arthur's second-in-command was a woman who was in charge of the missions, which was mainly fighting demons. One knight was a taxi driver who lined the side of his cab with icicles to fight a demon who was vulnerable to cold attacks. We also seemed to have magic powers resembling some MMO games. I could summon a light beam from the sky to blast enemies (my minstrel in LOTRO has that power). I used it to blast some critters, including a female demon who was mocking me. Then I had a night off, so I called a cab to take me to a mall. The driver seemed impressed that I was a knight, but he kept raising his fare (his cab didn't have a meter). I used an illusion to appear to give him more cash than I actually was. Hey, he was trying to charge me $100. No cab ride within a city costs that much! I also used my magic to give a beggar some real money. The restaurant in the mall just closed, as it was 1 am by then, but a jazz club was still open. I decided to head over there and noticed a pretty young lady walking that way. I decided to open the door for her. She told me that the mall allowing people to pass out food samples in the hall didn't make much sense to her. That's when I woke up.
