Round our parts, we sacrifice the GM from the previous edition in the Ancient Way, on an altar of the old rulebooks.

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...

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... |
