What would you wish for if you were given one wish?
The rules are...
1. You can't wish for more wishes.
2. You can't bring back the dead.
3. You can't make someone love you.
What would you wish for? What is your greatest desire?
My wish would be to be able to cast Heal three times a day. ~smiles sadly~ I would love to ease some of the suffering in this world. That would be a small way to do so.

I would wish to possess the largest sum of American currency possible without creating any sort of significant ripple in the overall national economy. I think this would probably be somewhere around $1 or 2 billion. I'm just a greedy bastard who doesn't want to have to worry about whether I'm going to have enough money to make my monthly contribution to my daughter's education fund if I buy this double cheeseburger for lunch today anymore.
A modified YT-1300 corellian freighter identical to the Millenium Falcon, capable of faster-than-light travel.
I'll LEARN how to fly it.
Dude...that is awesome! Lemme have that one as well.
I was going to go for something like being in NYC in '74-'75 and knowing what I know now...to see the first season of Sat Nite Live (they gave away tix)...catch KISS at the Roseland Ballroom before they got the massive egos...Ramones and CBGBs. etc etc etc. But to have the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, that is too cool. Kessel Run in twelve parsecs, heh...a jedi craves not these things.

Couple Billion U.S. dollars. I would build a small town for gamers with themed taverns/restaurants, themed shoppes, housing (stone condos, zoning requirements that all houses constructed in town must emulate certain styles of construction), and a large office-type building with themed rooms for gaming (small rental fee for room). Some themes would be sewers, dungeon, mountainous, forest, etc.
Also would start up a software developement company just outside of town and populate it with D&D gamers, to develope software apps, GOOD computer and console D&D games (most have sucked thus far), and website stuff. Maybe it would lure Paizo Publishing into relocating nearby.
I don't want to be rich, I want life to be cool.

If I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season, it would be that all the children to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace.
If I had two wishes I could make this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace. And the second would be for 30 million dollars a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account.
You know, if I had three wishes I could make this holiday season, the first, of course, would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing, the second would be for the 30 million dollars every month to me, and the third would be for encompassing power over every living being in the entire universe.
Wait, I've heard this somewhere before.
~shakes my head in amazed amusement~ Geeks! The whole lot of you are ***TOTAL*** Geeks! ~Laughter~

Woo-hoo! I wanna move there and be the iconic innkeeper with good food, a good place and dark secrets for adventurers to discover down in the basement! In fact there are several inns that have been in my campaigns that I'd like to set up...The Black Dragon Inn, The Crying Witch, as well as Madame Jezebel's Bath House. :D

They're not going to be able to get all those kids together. I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible, more trouble than it's worth! You should reorganize. ;)
I'd like to live in Healer's town, and I wish I could live two days for everyone else's one. Like every midnight between 12:00 and 12:01, I could live an extra 24 hours. (This is just a crazy idea off the top of my head; don't ask me how it works.)
If I had, in RealLife™, all the abilities and powers of my favorite D&D character (who ascended to godhood) then that would cover wealth, power *and* immortality. :)
One wish?
I'd wish to be able to use Remove Disease. Lots. Then I'd travel to EVERY children's hospital in the world.

Oh god..this is going to sound horribly cheesy and self centered compared to the last post, but I just want my campaign setting to come out and make it big. Not like "oh my god, Freehold! is the next FR!!!" big, but big enough to have an audience of devoted fans, a smattering of websites, and two or three editions of the game itself with a good amount of supplements thrown in between editions for good measure.
As FH said, I don't want to be rich, I just want to live my dream. "If you believe, you can achieve."

My wish would be to be the bouncer there... and get paid a lot of money for it.

Madame Jezebel understands that her clients require privacy and ensures that her bouncers are paid good money to keep it that way. The bouncers are also given stipends to make sure that their skills and equipment are at their best, and of course, they may avail themselves of the facilities as well when they have time off.
I have a dear friend who has a vision for a gaming store in his little neck of the woods in Minnesota. My one wish: to be comfortably wealthy enough to move back there and help get the store up and running. Then I could sit back, DM for a living, teach kids to play all sorts of cool games, and live in a log cabin on the weekends. While I'd love to say "Pay for my kids education" or "Heal the sick" or even "Buy my wife one of those cool minivans with the stow-and-go seating and double automatic sliding doors," gaming has given me much fun, and I'd like to be able to share that with others without the burden of worrying about the bills. That would be cool.
I wish that...the next time I get a wish, my DM won't twist it into some kind of twisted TPK...
...What can be worse, after all, than having the will without the body to back it up?...
Having the body with no will or sense to drive it.
Although I suppose "perfect health" covers both mind and body so you're all set. :)

My application has been forwarded to Madame Jezebel's HR department.
Voila! The dynamics of a wish coming true.
I would wish for the planet Earth to survive our best efforts to foul things up, honestly.
If that wish was too powerful I'd wish eternal life for me and mine.
If that wish was too powerful I'd wish for my favorite shows to come back from cancellation.
If that wish was too powerful I'd wish that a year's worth of my mortgage payments be picked up by some anonymous benefactor.
If that wish was too powerful I'd like a footrub and some chips.
If that wish was too powerful... fail the genie.
Well, the only thing I dream of is flying, and everytime I leave a place my first impulse is to fly away.
So, my wish is to be able to fly, and hell, while i'm at it:
I wish to have all the super-powers and weakness of Superman.
Though, I would like his vulnurability to kryptonite to be like in the movie, Superman Returns, not like it's always portrayed ("Hey Lex, what's up" Lex reveals kryptonite. Superman does the kickin' chicken).
One thing I would NOT wish for is world peace... The reason for that is that mankind is so stupid, everyone would start fighting again the very next day!!
I would probably wish for Superman's powers.

You are Ultradan! Superman wishes for YOUR powers! Why would you ever wish for LESS powers, Ultradan!
Mankind is stupid. The news is proof delivered every day.
FH (one of the less-stupid, I hope.)

Superman has X-Ray vision... I only have Q-Ray vision (I make people believe they have more stamina just by looking at them!)
Superman can leap over tall buildings... I can barely skip breakfast!!
Superman has super cool breath... I have to use Tic-tacs!!
Superman has the Fortress of Solitude at the North Pole... I have a condo in Quebec!! And it's surrounded by people that make their dogs poop on my lawn!!
Need I say more?

I would fathom a guess that your condo is more solitary than the Fortress of Solitude if it is indeed surrounded by those people (and their dogs) twenty-four-seven. (Do the dogs poop the whole time?)

You are much too modest. With your mutant powers of jocularity, you could make a readable Alpha Flight comic.
THAT IS TRUE POWER!

As an childhood investment I bought ten Alpha Flight #1's and #2's and sealed them away in mint condition.
I have yet to collect my millions.
That same year I also bought a bunch of Daredevil's death of Electra issues... prolly should have considered selling those back when that exact issue provided the end content of that Affleck movie but I've never been one to understand unloading anything but my money.
Spend vast wealth to secretly develop a space fleet and use them to enslave the Earth. I would use my iron fist to cease war and ethnic/religious/national conflicts. Then i would improve living standards and accelerate technological improvements.
Basically the Star Wreck: The Pirkinning plot :)
Only one wish, Hmmmmm?
WOrld peace? No, the flaw in that is already been proven.
A tonne o'money? Nah, I would have to pay too many taxes!
Obliterate famine? I would like to but that wouldn't be very helpful to war, now would it.
I guess it would be to either make humanity realize how selfish it has been and that it would then smarten up so that they would realize how stupid it is to strive for money and power and realize that helping each other (and also our planet) is more important than helping themselves for the brief period of time that they are on this plane of existence.
If I can't have that I would like to be able to create the cure for a disease (viral or bacteria) by merely being exposed to it. Of course the stipulation would be that I suffer no ill effect by the process either. I guess that is kind of Wolverine's supper powers, so those are cool too.

I DEFINITELY WANT TO BE THE GRAND MASTER OF THE SCHOOL OF HOKUTO!
I WANT TO BE KENSHIRO!!!
*political incorrectness time!--vis a vis religion--those uncomfortable please turn away*
My wish: Replace current earth cosmology (whatever THAT is) with the Faerunian cosmology! Yay!
a very low cost, energy efficient, non polluting power source that will solve the energy crisis and enable us to reach the stars. We really need to move away from fossil fuels like petro and coal and get things like fusion power plants and room temperature superconductors working. This would change the world in ways barely imaginable.
Others have said this, but I would wish for enough $$$ to be able to move back to my home town, set up a business for my wife, and start my own gaming company.
I know some excellent artists whom I would hire, as well as friends from ages past who were wonderful to play D&D with.
I don't care if the company ever makes a dollar profit, it's about being with my friends and having a great time.

Here it is; our answer to the worlds energy problems. Too bad we will never see it implemented.
Please ignore the hedonistica part of the address for this is not anything inappropriate, but rather a news cut video both showing and describing this incredible new technology.
Please forward it along so we can make as many people aware as possible.

Oh yeah.
