<t>I wouldn't mind a 20-something wife.<br/> <br/> Something that hasn't been touched on yet is that, at 38, I realized that my listening to the "80s" station is equivalent to those geezers listening to their "60s" station when I was in High School.<br/> <br/> That took some time for me to wrap my h...

<t>Believe it or not, I have no problems with Rupert. He's a straight-up capitalist and I enjoy has station after a certain time. I think that he's rather neutral and saw a niche for a (very) conservative news network.<br/> <br/> He also hired a ton of people who I want to punch the smug off of to d...

My father was a cop for some 30 years and never stopped being one. That has helped me be one of those people that gets along with cops. I know the mindset because my father made damned sure that his son wasn't going to accidentally do something suspicious and stupid that would get him arrested.

Hmmm... nope, not going to give 4E credit for that. There were articles about how to do that in all other editions (via Dragon Magazine or DM tool books). 4E just made it look like you got more monsters by adding adjectives.

<t>I'm an odd duck and really read "monster" books for the fluff and don't memorize the stats. (Making certain types of monster books useless to me as a player).<br/> <br/> Basically, is helps me get a feel for a world or campaign as I learn what kind of creatures were used to populate it.<br/> <br/...

<t>So Savage Worlds is what happened to Deadlands? I stopped buying it when they jumped on the D20 wagon.

<t>Another thing to consider here is that there is one truth for every individual. The truth is a very fluid thing based on perception and very faulty memory systems (the human brain) which will fill in gaps in the memory with assumptions based on past experiences. The truth, I believe, is that ther...

It's impossible for everything I know to be a lie. I'm never wrong!
Honest answer? I'd have a lot to think about and I wonder if this knowledge would give me super powers . . .

When you break the flavor profile down like that it helps me identify exactly why I find Dr. Pepper disgusting to my tastes. I'm actually allergic to two of the flavors which my body rejects at tastebud level .
