South of the Equator, “cities” are the smallest settlements, whereas “hamlets” have millions of residents!

I once ran out of printer paper. I felled a 3,000 year old redwood. Pulped it with my bare hands. Mixed in some water from the drinking fountain. Stamped it out and dried it in the break room microwave. Boom. Printer paper. Those Accounts Receivable memos never looked so crisp.

Pfft.

I once quit before the hobby had even been invented. Marched right up to 9-year-old Gary Gygax and said: "I'm out, neckbeard." He cried.

Tornadoes here too. My house crushed a witch. Fortunately, my homeowner's policy covered that. Nationwide truly is on my side. And hates witches.

I built an Inception machine and invaded my players' RL dreams after every gaming session.


Reminds me of my ghoran melee beast... Tank Salad...

Naw see apparently if they make a new edition you have to sell all your old stuff its in the rules somewhere.

Sell? Pfft. Weaksauce. Round our parts, we sacrifice the GM from the previous edition in the Ancient Way, on an altar of the old rulebooks. Only through the blood of a grognard can the mistakes of previous editions be purged. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Gygax Lake Geneva wgah'nagl fhtagn!!!

Dirt. We'd pile up dirt. Because that we had a lot of. That's where the term "build" came from.

But if it got windy, oh my stars, the arguments we'd have! "That's my fighter!" you'd say, and your friend would say "No! That's my rogue, he just blew into your tiny fighter pile!"

Usually it ended in tears and fisticuffs. So I guess some things haven't changed...

*wanders off muttering about THAC0*

I never did figure out that newfangled THAC0 stuff. In my day, if you wanted to know if you hit, you had to look up the chart in the rulebook, and compare your die roll to that.

Charts? Books? Feh!

In my day all we had was a game called &. The letter D and the concept of alliteration hadn't been invented yet. And the only dice roll we ever got was 1, the other numbers being several decades away in development. It was all critical fumbles, all the time. And that's how we liked it. Built character...

Pfft. I’ve had swine flu, lizard fever, porcupine cough, and eggplant toe. All at the same time.

Piffle! Modern terflukery, I say!

I recall waiting in line outside Notre Dame for three days back in 1293, just to hear Petrus de Cruce drop some hot polyphony. Now that was music.

When I was 18 and my friends stayed out until dawn I already wanted to go home at 2AM,3AM was my limit. So I guess I never was a night person, not even in my youth.

Oneup Liesalot, I hope you are not saying that I lied because I didn't. I wish I did.

No... of course not... I've been told I lie a lot... which is of course not true. I mean, except that I'm excellent at everything I do so I guess if I did lie, I'd probably tell the best lies ever... yeah... maybe I am the best liar in the world... :)

Definitely not implying you or anyone else was lying--just a dumb joke avatar making fun of itself.

That's nothing. I used to work for an organization of time travelers. I had to pull a triple shift in the same 16 hour period. Then, because some jackass manager made a paperwork error, we got caught in a temporal loop and had to do that same triple shift, like, 15 times before we could go home.

Yeah... that's how it happened... exactly...
