    I'm expecting a strongly-worded letter to their supplier that it was supposed to be "Deck the Halls".

    Re: Damage Reduction Vs. Extra PD/ED
     
    Hugh points out good cases where Damage Reduction outshines normal PD/ED. In my mind, DR is good for characters who don't go down because they are tough, not because they are indestructible. Colossus of the X-Men would have really high PD/ED, but Wolverine would have DR.
     
    DR also has great utility for master villains. It allows you to set their defenses low enough that all the heroes can contribute some damage whether they have powerful attacks or mediocre ones, but it keeps the villain from being KO'ed by one big hit.

    Brain cells die. Skin cells die and even hair cells die. But the fat cells in my stomach must have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior since they seem to have eternal life.

    A bartender in the old west is busy cleaning glasses when a guy comes bursting thru the swinging doors gasping “Big Earl's a-commin into town”. Immediately, all the drinkers drop whatever they're doing, run out the door and down the street. The bartender thinks this is a little odd (he's new in town), but whatever. He steps away from the bar and starts cleaning up tables.
    Pretty soon, he hears loud foot steps coming towards the saloon. Then the biggest guy he's ever seen rips the doors off, tosses them aside, bends down a little to get thru the doorway. He sees the bartender cowering behind a table, picks him up, tosses him behind the bar, walks over and says “Whiskey”.
    Terrified, the bartender gets a glass and a bottle and brings them over. The guy grabs the bottle, breaks the top off with his teeth, and drinks it down, dashing, the bottle into shards on the floor. The bartender says “Can I get you anything else, sir”?
    “Nope. Gotta run. Big Earl's coming.”

    On a train from London to Manchester, an American was berating a British guy sitting across from him in the compartment, about Britain leaving Europe.
    "The trouble with you English is that you are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much and it is going to be worse now you are leaving the EU. You think your stiff upper lip makes you above the rest of us.
    Look at me . . . . . I'm an ‘all round’ me! I have a little Italian in me, a bit of Greek blood, a little Irish and some Spanish blood. What do you say to that?"
    The British fellow lowered his newspaper, looks over his glasses at the American and replies; "Well, that was terribly sporting of your mother!"

    One of the best parts about a real RPG, a face to face pen and paper game with dice, is that game balance is a much less significant problem than a computer game.  If your mage is more powerful than your warrior than your rogue than your hunter with the wolf companion etc, then the GM can address that with what kind of adventure you are presented with and how the story unfolds.  You can tip the scales with a thumb, using equipment, types of enemies, situations, etc.  OK the sneaky gal feels weak, then you have more adventures where sneaky rules or is critical.
