Isn's she underage? Scandelous!

No, she is actually 35. However rumor has it that she has been having hormone shots to keep her looking prepubescent to help out some of her side buisnesses. At least that is what I heard.

Do we have pictures indicating this? Perhaps we can get the name of her hormone supplier. Though I'm trying to figure out her connection to RPG however.

You can read all about it here, in Courtfool's delightful and informative expose on the subject.


This may help.

I had to beat David before he ruined the joke by explaining it.

Can we dig up any connection to the mob or does he appear to work freelance? Who's on his hit list and who's footing the bill?

Reliable sources say Wes has spicy chicken teriyaki and gyoza for lunch. James got the same without the spicy, Sarah got the same without the gyoza. Sutter got his usual, a baseball-sized scoop of rice with $8.95 worth of soy sauce on it. Tomorrow might be a day for Mexican... or pancakes.

They will let anybody into 5 star restraunts these days. So did someone get food poisoning? Not tip? The waiter spilled on them? They refused autographs?

They're these cannibal dudes from the Call of C'thulhu game. They all have bowl cuts, and worship Chaugnar Faughn, who looks like an emaciated Ganesha.

I say we write up a great tabloid story and tank their sales as well.

Rumor has it that the redesign of our server room, resulting in less noise, has just made my office so quiet that I'm uncomfortable.

Like sitting in a 747 for 18 hours and then the engine goes off and suddenly nothing--no white noise, nothing. I can *hear* everything. And Chris's heart beat is TOO LOUD.

Exactly what the plotline will be is unknown but it is rummored that it takes place in the Greyhawk City (The city of Thieves). Also, President Bush is taking a good look at the economic rules in 4th edition to decide how to handle the current global crisis. There is talk about minting astral diamonds.

Are you suggesting he put a stop to the redesign or Chris' heartbeat?

LOL! Yeah, the sudden cessation of noise is quite...disturbing. Though usually for me it means SOMETHING'S WRONG AND I HAVE TO FIX IT!

The murder might disrupt the redesign as well. So you kill two birds with one stone.

I think we should put a hidden camera in to "capture the moment", besides then I don't have to pay anyone for pictures.

With troubled economic times ahead of us, sales of pen and paper role playing games appear to be shooting through the roof. Officials at White Wolf Publishing explained this as people wanting to make a smart investment into their future entertainment that will carry them through this crisis. With the upcoming Pathfinder Role Playing Book slated to cost $50 dollars, Lisa Stevens of Paizo Publishing described it as "the same cost as 5 months of World of Warcraft for one person, except you can play for years to come with multiple people sharing the same book and there is no computer to crash." Hasbro, owner of Wizards of the Coast, released an official statement today saying they were pleased to hear about sales for Dungeons and Dragons and expect future sales of Fifth Edition to be even higher. The statement later changed "Fifth Edition" to "future exciting products".

slowly moves farther away from Josh's office

Mayhap I should crack the door to the server room. Or install white noise generators in Josh's office. Cause, you know, this whole cessation of my heart thing...not so much. The staff necromancer is out of the office today, and I don't want to get manky overnight.

In other news, Paizo Publishing's Operations Manager Jeff Alvarez recently led a one-man assault on the joined offices and warehouse of Privateer Press. After being disarmed and sedated, Alvarez was quoted as saying, "It's the perfect spot! I just got tired of waiting for them to move, so I took things into my own hands."

Representatives from Paizo and Privateer were unavailable for comment, though a local gamestore owner was quoted as saying he carried both product lines and "wish[ed] that they could just get along."

See, those are the stories the curious public (i.e., me) want to read about! like just how many volts were used in the sedation process, and whether he got glimpses of any unreleased merch that might incite us?

I saw an ad for D&D one time that said "At least this way you know when the hot elf chick is a guy." I laughed so hard my head hurt.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! oh my god that's funny. I still like the one "if you're going to sit in your basement pretending to be an elf, you might as well be doing ti with friends" or something to that effect. I always use that on guys who see Dnd as geeky, but there's no problem with warcraft.

Either works for me, as long as it does not interrupt this website.

The Ugly doesn't tool around with any other goblins, but he does go butt-kicking with a couple of girls. If we bumped the number of female PCs to 3, we could make "Ugly's Angels".

I bet the paladin's really questioning her alliance with a CN goblin right about now. :) The Hastur-obsessed warlock, however, is having a blast.
