  • Sounds like a damn good time. I have always loved watching Futurama if I am any kind of high I imagine she had quite the time, nothing ever really compares to the first experience with a drug.
  • Skype will be problematic for me as I don't post from home, though I imagine it would be a good way for you guys to coordinate your efforts so to speak. Almost finished with the world building process, tomorrow I will post a gazetteer outlining the basics of the world and the initial play area and make the rolls needed for…
  • Gubmint did it.
  • Right on, seems to be the best option for now. I am still in the design process as essentially I want to give you guys a giant "sandbox" to play in, but we may go ahead and do character creation tommorow, at the very least I will make a post outlining some extra options I tend to give players. My goal is to be play ready…
  • Well the dice roller seems to be a bit of an issue thus far. Any other ideas on how to handle the dice rolling? The only other thing I can think of is for me as DM to do all the rolling. I have always let the dice fall where they may, so you guys wouldn't have to worry about me screwing you or fudging to save you. It…
  • This sort of thing happens on its own from time to time in my area. I have seen it with my grandparents neighborhood. The is affluent at one point, then as the residents age and die the property values drop off and blacks from outlying poorer neighborhoods will buy a couple of the now devalued homes and after that the…
  • Right on brother. Option one was what I was leaning toward anyway. I will start the design process tonight and with the amount of free time I have at the moment I should knock it out in about three days. GoingNowhere you have any particular preferences as to the style of the game?
  • Yeah I like walking outside much better than I do walking on a tread mill. Right now I am lifting with 15 lb weights until I am cleared by my cardiologist to go heavier. I have found over the years that when working out for general fitness dumbbells from 8-15 lbs are more than enough if used properly.
  • Awesome man. I recommend downloading the rules and giving the first two chapters a read, ignore the sidebars that say house rules, all total the first two chapters are only 10 pages. Also now that we have three people aboard I have a couple of quick questions before I do anymore of the legwork on my end. What kind of game…
  • I don't think zok runs this place. Anyway I meant no offense by using the word suggesting I was making sure I had understood you properly. Would you care to share more about the old totse threads on 9-11 that popped up before it happened? This is something I haven't heard about before.
  • You do realize that, unless I am sorely mistaken, Taipan, Jeff, whatever, is not here. This alleged gif of a ufo from NASAs site does interest me. Also are you suggesting tha something about 9-11 was posted on totse before it happened?
  • Right on. Hell I have DMed games for one player, two is plenty really, but I figure once things get off the ground more will jump in. That dice hack was a good find on your part, such a thing honestly had not occured to me. I have been working up a storm on dungeons and what not seeing as my classes this semester are easy…
  • Couldn't sleep last night so I started the dungeon design process and the general prep work, got some wicked ideas going. Anyone skim through the rules yet? Also we still only have TDR and Dfg for sure, anyone else in?
  • You have to have a permit to have gun in your home? Fuck that noise, shit move down it practically rains guns down here. To get my carry license all I had to do was take a 50 dollar class and pay 150 for the actual paper and that was to concealed carry in public, at home you can have whatever you want basically. Arkansas…
  • Guns in Arkansas are so wide spread that no one even thinks about them. Most homes have at least one rifle and one shotgun, everyone I know owns multiple guns. We have gun shows all the time as well. Even with gun ownership as common as it is gun crime is mostly relegated to a certain ethnic group. White Arkansan culture,…
  • Dude sounds like one of those uptight dick bags that lets any kind of authority go right to his head. "Go pound salt up your ass with both fists" made laugh till I thought I was going to piss myself.
  • Hear, Hear! More RamDe is what this thread needs.
  • Sweet that will make things much easier. Is anyone else interested in playing? We can run it with two players but three or more is ideal.
  • Dfg I am sure TDR can explain it to you over skype as I have no idea how to skype. But as a quick summary, the rules allow the players to create a character with which to explore a fantasitical world. I as the dungeon master create said fantastic world and populate with various obstacles, enemies, and treaures. I then turn…
  • Ha. Yeah, sooo maybe that hack is a good idea. Did you take a look at the pdf of the rules?
  • That would be cool and if doesn't work I trust you guys too make your own rolls
  • It provides for doing either way. I figured we would use the d20 ascending armor class though as I have always found it a bit easier to teach first time players, but I am open to whatever.
  • Swords and Wizardry whitebox, it is a clone of the original 74 rules, just with a few odds and ends cleaned up, the download link should be in one of my posts above. Its free.
  • Right on. One more person and we have a game, and if no one else is interested I am sure we can manage. Once I get an idea of who all is on board I will post a few things that I do a bit differently than what is in the rules I linked to.
  • Righteous Dfg, If we can get at least three people on board then we have a game.
  • The first one under the heading white box. It should say Download the PDF free from our site. I forgot I could just link straight to it. Doh! http://www.swordsandwizardry.com/whiteboxpdf.pdf
  • Gun laws vary quite a bit from state to state. I don't off the top of my head know of any states with law preventing those with diagnosed mental health conditions from purchasing a weapon, felonies are the only real stumbling block I can think of. Arkansas is very lax on its gun laws, guns aren't even registered here.…
  • Beaver has some sound advice here. The only time I tend to disagree is if time is not in your favor, the awe inspiring act of violence is something my great grandfather told me, which was essentially if you are out numbered and out gunned sometimes picking your target and committing an act of violence so unexpected and…
  • Reading through this conversation reminds me of something that I thought a long time ago. I believe everyone should read Edward Bernays Propaganda, it is a real eye opener as to the way public thought is manipulated and the fact that our perception of everything is guided.
  • Hypothetically speaking one could always go on the offensive. Awe inspiring acts of violence have a way of discouraging people, does said friend have any other friends that would be willing to back him if shit were to get real?
  • Neil Armstrong and the others on that mission were always people I looked up too. I can't imagine the kind of balls it must have required to actually go through with that mission as at the time it was widely believed by the astronauts themselves that it was a suicide mission. Anyone who can look the prospect of a cold,…
  • All sound advice GoingNowhere. The socialization aspect is something we had thought about, fortunately he will have plenty of cousins similar in age, my Jeet Kune Do instructor who is a trusted family friend also runs an excellent, albeit small program for children. The day to day teaching will be more carried out by my…
  • Thanks for the congratulations guys. Also congratulations to you Idiosyncrasy, nice to have another Arkansan about. Its been a whirlwind of activity around my place, family in and out, getting shit ready, making plans and what not. We have already decided to home school latter on, this is my last semester of school and…
  • That shit has F.B.I written all the fuck over it. Honestly people state side wouldn't bat an eye at that shit, that's just how the pigs conduct raids here.
  • Great to have you back. Here's to a quick recovery brother.
  • I really wish I could say I was surprised when I read the article, but most Americans look at it and go "Well I don't protest, and they usually don't work anyway so..." The thing that worries me is where the fuck does it all end? I mean gods above you would think that a culture as a whole has a breaking point, but I guess…
  • Sorry to hear about your kitten bro. I have had many cats throughout my life and it always sucks when they go, particularly when they are young. R.I.P Little Kitteh, he's mauling mice in heaven now.
  • Sounds like someone is planning to make a go at your place. Be careful not to end up engaged with them as you don't really know what their motives are and how far they will take it. I don't know what weapon laws are like in your country but an aluminum tee-ball bat is long enough to give you range over someone with a knife…
  • Seems like everybody has shitty neighbors. When I lived with my mom year before last I shot two of our neighbors dogs for killing our cat of 9 years, the bastard was one of those crazy types that had at one point literally 11 dogs. He came over and flipped his shit and my uncle who was over at the time drew his .38, I've…
  • Bas is the man. Funny as hell and one of the few men to retire from MMA on a monster winning streak, 22 fights in a row to be exact.
  • Yeeea. Marter Wong teach you kick him futtin ass, go home den has sum breakfast.
  • Best of luck in your surgery brother, also stop looking at my cock would be fucking hilarious.
  • Meh, he will get crammed into a box as well, the angle this time will be the lonely, depressed, nerd type. Then we will get to watch as "experts" analyze everything from the shows he watches to what color his shit is to see "what makes this madman tick". Of course then we will get to hear from every moron with an agenda,…
  • Peanut butter crunch for the win.
  • Shit like this makes me glad I have my concealed carry license. I can't imagine being in the middle of some shit like that, heart goes out to those who were injured or killed.
  • Go see Monticello, primary plantation of Thomas Jefferson its supposed to be really cool. Besides Thomas Jefferson is Americas first celebrity stoner. "Some of my finest hours have been spent sitting on my back veranda, smoking hemp and observing as far as my eye can see." - Thomas Jefferson
  • Froot loops are good shit. Do you guys have Cinnamon Toast Crunch? That shit is the bomb.
  • No driver updates recently, the crashes seem to come randomly. The first crash came whilst playing dwarf fortress, I did a system restore after rebooting and they still seem to come on at random times. This is the first sort of trouble I have had in the 6 or so months I've had the laptop, I run windows 7, I did have avast…

  • You could go see the site of the battle of Manassas, or check out some old plantations turned museums, a lot of the shit to do there is going to be historical sites. Mind you I have never been there, I'm just going on what I've been told. I would advise you to be wary of cops in the south, no matter where your at they all…
