Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From an email exchange RE: Our Rogue Trader game: GM: If anyone is compiling a wish list of toys for his/her character, I'd love to see it. Me: We need a few Lemun Russ main battle tanks. Just sayin'. I will convince the captain of this by telling her that we can use them to stage weekend rallies and races on Deck 32c: "SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! Come see the ROARING ACTION and EXTREME CRASHES as the MONSTER TANK "Emperor's Own Vengeance" goes up against the Orky BIG THUNDER BATTLEWAGON!

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From our Rogue Trader game: Eurydice: You know what our ship needs? A giant pair of TruckNutz to hang from the back. Vesper: Yeah, like the size of asteroids! Eurydice: Or small moons! Morgan: That should give us at least a +1 on all Intimidation rolls! GM: *facepalm*

Re: I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!) I was playing a game of first edition D&D with some people I had just met. They had been playing a while and were mostly 2nd or 3rd level. I was just starting, so I was first level. A halfling wizard. Pretty damn sucky -- d4 HP and one single spell. I got my boy a crossbow and some daggers so that he could, you know, carry some of his own weight. We were raiding the Caverns of Chaos. They had mapped out a small part of the entrance to one cave, and were going to try to go in a bit deeper. There was a skeleton guarding the entrance. We figured we could get around it and attack it from behind, quick, easy, and quiet. Except it was an ambush. As we engaged teh skeleton, another skeleton showed up, blocking our escape. Then a bunch of hob-goblins rushed us from a cave entrance above that we hadn't known about. It was a total charlie-fox. I managed to climb up a ladder while fending off a skeleton that was coming up the ladder after me. Once I got to the top, I pushed the ladder over. I found myself in one of the entrances to the hob-goblins' lair; luckily all the hobbo combatants were down below, slaughtering my companions. There was an underground lake connected to a stream that led out of the cave. I climbed into a small canoe, covered myself with a blanket, and pushed off into the stream. I was hoping the hobbos would be so distracted they wouldn't bother to check on their canoe as it drifted past and out of the cave. I was right; I drifted past them. They noticed it, but didn't pursue, at least until the canoe exited the cave. As soon as I was clear from the cave, I jumped out of the canoe and started running. I had to make it back to the keep and get some reinforcements out here! The hobbos saw me and started chasing me. I was in for a crazy, dangerous run!

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Her: I named my new car "Mighty Mouse"! Me: Huh. We don't name our cars. We just call them "white car" and "blue car." Come to think of it, that's how we named our cats, too. "White cat" and "Gray Cat." Her: At least you didn't name your daughter "Girl Child." Me: No, but if we had a little boy and a little girl, I can just about guarantee we'd call her that!

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Porn title of the day: "Big Black Assquakes"

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Yeah, I was pretty gassy the next day. :embarrassed:

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Every few years, I start listening to Top 40 radio again. I get really into it. I find some great new songs, some fun new artists. I buy a bunch of MP3s, and I listen to them a lot. I like pop music; it's catchy and bouncy and fun and new. But after a while, I remember why I stopped listening to Top 40 -- because they play the same 40 songs over and over again. That's why it's called Top 40. So I get bored and stop listening for a year or two. And then I happen to catch some fun pop tune somewhere, and it draws me back in.

Re: Creepy Pics. Stephen Colbert and ...?

Re: Musings on Random Musings I call that "A pretty good day," myself.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I made a nice pork green chili over the weekend. I got a big pork shoulder, seared it and then put it in the slow cooker for about 8 hours, with chicken broth, lots of green chilis, onions, tomatoes fresh from my garden, corn, garlic, and plenty of spices. About an hour before it was ready, I put in a can of pinto beans, a can of canelloni beans, and a can of great northern beans. When it was almost ready, I pulled the pork out to slice up... but the thing was so tender it just fell apart as I was trying to cut it. I ended up just using a fork to pull it apart. It fed 8 of us, with some leftovers for lunches this week. Yummers!

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Eurydice refers to Vesper as "Hey, you" or "The short one."

Re: "Neat" Pictures Yeah, I think you're right. Barkley is pretty much Godzilla-sized.

Re: "Neat" Pictures Wasn't that a promotional comic that Nike put out? Michael Jordon vs. Godzilla or some such? I seem to recall reading it, way back in the day.

Re: I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!) I was watching the sequel to The Avengers, and was terribly, terribly disappointed. first off, the basic plot was that Hydra was back (good so far). They wanted to take control of a series of weather-control satellites that SHIELD had been developing (so far so good). They hijacked a shuttle that was going up to perform a routine maintenance cycle, and planted a virus on the satellite's computer, which then spread to the rest of the satellites. The dumb part was that the satellites weren't really satellites; they were like these heli-devices that hovered at about 30,000 feet above sea level (which isn't really that high). And when they were undergoing maintenance, they had to turn off the heli-rotors, so they were in free-fall for a period of time. And what happens when/if one of them falls out of the sky? It was idiotic! Also, they weren't realy so much weather control satellites, as regular weather satellites (measuring rainfall and temperature and such). I'm like, "How do you control the world with weather satellites???" Also, they got rid of Sam Jackson as Nick Fury and brought on some new guy who was doing a lame Mr. Bean routine -- he was all clumsy and goofy while he was briefing the Avengers on what they had to do. I was so disgusted by this character I wanted to leave the theater. One part that I liked was that they introduced a new character to the Avengers -- teh ebil bunneh! (Apparently, I was a good friend to one of the producers). teh bunneh had inside information on Hydra, like who their boss was and where their secret base was. But the Avengers had to convince him to join them. He was reluctant. He told them, "I'm called teh EBIL bunneh, not teh GOOD bunneh." He got into a fight with Thor because he was being all mouthy and disrespectful to the god of thunder, and was holding his own pretty well. But then Hydra attacked, and it became a huge free-for-all. teh bunneh was running around with Captain America and Hawkeye, beating up groups of Hydra agents, while Iron Man flew overhead strafing the enemy.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore It's a pizza with a big pile of meat and cheese on top, with another pizza flipped upside down on top. Ick. Ruining two perfectly good pizzas like that oughta be a crime!

Re: Fantasy worlds you had to "rework" years later once you've grown up and knew bett I have a world I've been running in for the past 30+ years. It started as AD&D and has migrated to Fantasy Hero. It's undergone a lot of changes. I was reading "Wizard of Earthsea" when I first started playing, so the world was a series of tiny islands in a vast sea. Then I got really into prog rock, so the world started to resemble the cover of a Yes album. I read the Conan stories, which inspired me to re-work the world so that the archipelego was only one tiny part of a larger continent. I read Lord of the Rings, which made me re-think how magic and specifically magic items worked. My first year in college I was a Geology major, so I reworked the geography of the continents so that they made sense -- I worked up a pretty detailed weather map, rock strata, and so forth. As the years have gone by, I've worked and re-worked it, refining every piece. It's a pretty solid piece of work now, IMHO. Looking back at those early days... I'm not really embarrassed by any of it. It all led me to where I am now.

Re: "Neat" Pictures It's Riddle (AKA the Next Ex-Mrs. Teh Ebil Bunneh)! I'm totally in love with her, and she does a ton of great costumes.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore There's a lot of those that I'd try.

Re: [New Product] Champions Complete I hadn't heard of this before today. Have I been reading the wrong threads?

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Proud daddy is proud: Baby Vengeance made her first jailbreak this weekend! Late Friday night/Saturday morning, she was fussy around 2:00am, so I held her and rocked her until she seemed about to fall back asleep, and I put her in her cradle. On some bizarre hunch, I closed and locked the gate I had installed at the top of the stairs, then I went back to bed. Around 7:00am on Saturday morning, BunnySue and I were awakened the by sound of a baby in our room. BunnySue sat up bolt upright and said, "Oh my god!" I sat up a little bit more slowly and saw that somehow, Baby V had gotten out of her cradle and crawled all the way to our room! Daddy was very proud of his little girl for completing her first successful prison break!

Re: Real Locations that should be fantasy Cool! Where dat?

Re: I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!) I dreamed it was the first day of Tacticon (a local gaming convention). I was trying to figure out my schedule, what games I wanted to play and so on. I was looking at the various games offered when I realized that I had scheduled myself to run a Widening Gyre/Steampunk Hero game in the afternoon slot, just a few hours away, and I hadn't prepared my game at all! I read the description of the game I had submitted, and thought, "OK, I can wing it. I'm a good GM, I'll just jot a few plot points down and go from there." But then I further realized that I hadn't created the characters for the game -- and character building (for me) takes hours! Dammit, I had to come up with some character concepts, and fast. And I didn't have a computer to do it on; I had to build them all by hand. The game concept (as much as I can remember it) was that in 1890s London, people were disappearing and being replaced by near-identical constructs/clones. A well-to-do woman had managed to escape from the people who were doing the kidnapping, and had fled to the heroes for help. Who was it that had the technology to create these clones, and what was their sinister plan for London? And was the woman who she said she was, or was she another clone, sent to lure the heroes into a trap?

Re: The cranky thread You'll do fine, Hermit. And again, my condolences.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Eating out at a sports bar, ESPN is on the TV above us and they're talking about Jeremy Lin moving to Houston... Co-worker1: I hear they're paying him $25 million. Co-worker2: Yeah, but it's only like $5 mil for the first two years, then he gets the rest. Me: Geez. Only 5 million a year. Poor guy. Co-worker1: I know. He's going to have to get a roommate. Me: He'll probably have to donate plasma every week. Co-worker2: Hope he likes ramen noodles!
