Re: "Neat" Pictures Kinda surprised nobody here has built a cityscape out of dice. Or if they did, that they didn't post pics of the completed work.

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat "And by a strange coincidence, the Giant Frog Migration has squashed every career politician in North America, and the frogs are now swimming toward Asia and Europe where they will likely continue their odd rampage. Scientists note that, if this continues across the world, the resulting decrease in hot air may very well reverse the threat of global warming..."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Some background first from our D&D game: My character is Yllek Yar, a ranger that hates orcs. Other teammates include Ryan (male fighter/scout, son of a baron), Aren (male fighter), Devlyn (female rogue), Leila (female druid), and Il'Marcum (male sorcerer). We're currently 16th level and have amassed a decent amount of treasure and magical items. We are now gearing up for Ryan's wedding. Since he's nobility, it's to be a big affair, with invitations being sent, etc. A month or so earlier, Ryan had met my character's girlfriend, Kalina, and had sent my invitation to her place, addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. Yllek Yar." I found out about this after we left town on a quest, and was often ribbed about Yllek being forced into a "shotgun wedding" when he returns. The quest complete, we have now returned home. - - - - - - - Yllek (OOC): How much did Ryan spend on his engagement ring? Ryan (OOC): I did it as a matched set, engagement and wedding ring. I spent 25. Yllek (was considering whether spending 500-1,000 GP would be appropriate): 25 thousand gold?! Ryan: No, 25 hundred! Yllek: (breathes a sigh of relief) - - - - - - - Kalina (holding up invitation): "It's addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Yar. We don't want to make liars out of them, do we?" - - - - - - - DM: Kalina has already picked out her wedding present to Yllek: a pair of 9th level ranger orcs, with a 24-hour head start. Happy hunting! - - - - - - - Yllek: Devlyn, I'm trying to figure out an appropriate wedding gift to get Kalina. I'm thinking jewelry of some sort. What do you recommend? Devlyn: Well, a necklace would be nice, maybe with a matching bracelet. What kind of gems do you have? Yllek (OOC): Um, I don't know what kinds, I just wrote down their gold piece values. (IC) I wonder if I have any pearls. Il'Marcum had recommended I give her a "pearl necklace." - - - - - - - Leila: I'm going to create a grove near town. Is a hundred acres enough? Aren: You're going to have a Hundred Acre Wood? DM: Are you going to put a yellow bear, a piglet, and a donkey in it? - - - - - - - Yllek: I'm going to tell Kalina I'm thinking of getting Ryan and his bride-to-be some really lame gift, like a welcome mat. That way, she'll just smack me and then pick one out herself. - - - - - - - (Note: For months, Aren has had a relationship with a woman who is the wife of a nobleman in a distant city, and this woman actually showed up in town recently and met Aren's mom. Aren's mom has no idea that her son's "girlfriend" is married, let alone that she is the wife of a nobleman.) DM: Aren, your mom is bugging you for information about your girlfriend. Yllek: Say, while I'm in Dain, can I find a book, something like a "Who's Who" of nobility, to give to Aren's mom?

Re: Haymaker! Cover Caption Contest Just thought I'd mention that we've got another cover up for captioning, this time for Haymaker! High. If you submit one of the winning captions, you'll receive the PDF of this Teen Champions supplement: 200+ pages full of characters, school maps, teachers and students, a long-lost superbase and its missing owners, and other contributions from numerous regular and guest contributors. This cover (attached below) is also by Edd Ghent (aka GoldenAge), and will be available for captioning until the end of January. At that time, we'll be putting up the cover to issue #46 (our Hidden Dangers issue), created by Bill Jackson, for another caption contest. So don't delay! You can get to the caption contest directly here, or by clicking on the Issues link from our main page, www.haymaker.org. - - - - - - - - The winning captions for issue #45 were selected through blind voting (as in, the people voting didn't know who contributed which caption -- no, we didn't blind the poor people!). The winners are Robert Dorf and Edd Ghent. Robert was sent his complimentary copy a few days ago, and I hope he's enjoying all the crunchy HERO goodness inside.

Re: Jokes An elementary school teacher asked her students to tell everybody what their parents do for a living. She mostly got the usual answers, but one student said, "My dad is a male stripper who earns extra money as a gigolo." The teacher was shocked and quickly took the student aside to ask, "Does you father actually do that?" The little boy started crying and said, "No, but I didn't want to tell everybody that he coaches the Detroit Lions..."
