Re: The cranky thread My left knee is really hurting this morning. I can't seem to find a position where it doesn't ache. Doc

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From tonight's D&D game. The cast: Grimvar, a Dwarven ranger. Garl, a halfling Rogue/Swashbuckler. Cyrandel, an elf Duskblade who has been wearing armor that makes his alignment tend toward evil. Saraphina, a Tielfling Rogue. Vanatu, a Human Cleric NPC. In combat, an opposing Elf casts a spell on Cyrandel that reduces his Intelligence and Charisma to 1. Garl tells him to stand *there* and hit *that* (pointing to a gnoll) with the thing in his hand. Cyrandel (OOC): Hey, there's nothing like Retarded Evil! *stab stab stab* GM: It goes down, what do you do next. Cyr: Retarded Evil, remember. *stab stab stab* Vanatu: Get up the stairs! Kill something. Cyr runs up the stairs and stops next to Garl. Vanatu: Not the halfling! The enemy spellcaster has holed up in an interior room. Grim hacks a hole in the wall with his urgosh and finds that it is dark inside. He calls the tiefling up to cast her darkness inside the room so the enemy can't see either. Sara: I cast darkness at the darkness. Garl picks the lock on a door during combat to try and sneak up behind an enemy. Because this is in combat, he neglects to check for traps. He sets off a lightning bolt trap, makes his evasion roll, and unlocks the door. Garl, to Vanatu: Don't touch that. Big bad on the other side of a magic mirror to Cyr, still feebleminded: Your village called... Big Bad: Do you have any idea what you have there? Cyr: No. Doc

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I have been in two podcasts now. One podcast (Every Photo Tells...) used a story I submitted (Episode 24). The other one (Bird House Rules) is doing a multi-part series in connection with my blog. My voice is on the podcast talking about various iPad Twitter clients. All this happened in the last ten days. Doc

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Why do we keep sabotaging ourselves, again and again? "It won't work, so I won't try." But if you don't try, it definitely won't work. And what if it does work? How much are you willing to lose to failure? How much are you willing to risk for success? Doc

Re: Musings on Random Musings

Re: Musings on Random Musings Actually, you can take your jacket off while wearing a cravat. Either you have a vest (waistcoat) on with the ends of the cravat tucked into that, or you tuck the ends into your shirtfront to keep them contained. Or you let the ends dangle, if you think you can pull off the look. Another option is to simply tie the cravat in another knot that uses up more of the fabric and looks more like a bow tie if you expect to need to take your jacket off. And most Ren Faires are set before the powered wig set came into fashion. Doc
