The toilet paper is already back on the roll. I didn't think it would happen so soon. Little things like that are gonna bug me for awhile.

Looks pretty tasty to me, a bit soft as a true guardian, but I think swordmages are a poor slot 1 choice anyway.  I think a party with this fellow as the wildcard or controller slot would be very well served.

Went down to the Outback the other day, and payed the most I have ever paid for thier cheap steak.  Thier TV ads of course brag about new low prices.  Now admittedly it has been awhile (2007 most likely), but the last time I ate at a dennys I got the 2.99 grand slam (blah blah not at any time I would normally eat).  Watching thier new comercial, ( Read more... )

We had our first 4th edition in the 4th age (Earthdawn) games on Sunday. A good portion of the game was devoted to character creation, I pulled out the old Central Casting: Heroes of legend and had people roll up some random backgrounds (with the caveat that people could overrule things they didn’t like).

It was a close one of course.  A couple of rulings on my part (I could ( Read more... )

Sunday the first game of my Conan game wasn't.

Monday the first day of my new 4 day work week wasn't (coworker decided to take friday off).

Yesterday my contested hearing wasn't (turns out even though they told me on the phone that I didn't need anything special to get a continuance for my jury duty, they were wrong, so instead of contesting my ( Read more... )

So this sunday will be the official start (assuming everyone shows up ;-) Of my Conan Based 4th Ed Game. Having played a bit with the KOTS module I had a much better feel for encounter design (though I might be beating the party down a bit more than they deserve in some encounters).

Of course Conan is not quite D&D as written, only Humans and ( Read more... )

I am wondering if any of my geeky friends can give me a solid explanation for why FTL speed must indicate time reversal in Special Relativity.

It just makes no sense to me, I suspect it is because of our flawed definition of Zero in mathematics, but perhaps there is more to it than that.
