Next time, have a Guinness stout. Or better yet, a Young's. Or a Young's Chocolate Stout. Hold the DP.

You sure? I pretty much detest the taste of practically all beers and lagers. I'd hate to think I wasted my money if I turn my nose on the first sip. *shrug* But I can drink Bacardi 151 without thinking. Well ... maybe not as tolerant as I was prior two years ago, but still.
Yeah, I hate most beer too, but even I like a good chocolate stout. It's a totally different flavor, more akin to coffee than beer.

Don't care for coffee either. Mocha (sic) as well. If it really tasted like chocolate, then I'd be giving it a try.

Would you guys still drink coffee if it were decaffinated? Just curious. I abhor the taste no matter how it is offered.
Yes, and have done so. Decaf is still better than no coffee. And has the advantage of not making me sleepy. The flavor isn't as good, but sometimes the benefits outweigh that drawback.

There are people who inexplicably dislike good beer. It's God's way of conserving limited supply.
When I used to drink beer, I always drank Budweiser. I like Budweiser. I don't mind an occasional Sam Adams or a Shinerbock, but the complexities are lost on me, and why pay the extra dough if you really can't tell the difference?
Of course, now I hardly drink (haven't had anything alcoholic for ... 15 months now? Something like that?)and save my cash for other things.

I've tried them. As it turns out, my stomach has absolute fits if I shock it with that many B vitamins. One of those things gives me horrible stomachache for the next 24-48 hours after I drink it. I'm pretty well out of luck when it comes to stuff that can wake me up or keep me awake since stimulants are calming for me. Then again, given my natural hyperactivity, I'm not sure the world could handle me being any more energetic than I normally am anyways. :P

Well, whatever you're taking to be hyperactive, pass some over here. Sometimes I'm just dragging way too much ass to be motivated. Or maybe I'm just lazy. :P
Then again, not all that stuff should be done on an empty stomach or that type of reaction is going to happen. Not all of them are as jacked with B12 as 5 Hour Energy is ... but given that it's not packing calories or sugars like a regular energy drink, I find it to be more agreeable over the long haul.

One player!?! I know one had his mother passed away. How many others didn't appear? Do they do this on short notice or do you know beforehand?

Money better spent.

I only have three players as of right now. The one has memory problems and since we were switching to a new day and time, it may have confused him. The one player that showed up is going to try and get some of the players from the group he DMs to come and join us.

I've tried more than one of them, always to the same effect, alas. As for what I'm taking, absolutely nothing other than an antidepressant to let me sleep and caffeine as needed to keep me calm and focused as ritalin doesn't play nice with my antidepressant. It's just my naturally fracked up brain chemistry. There's a reason why they put that H in ADHD. :P

Good luck trying to get more involved. Some locations are brimming with extras to participate and some areas are basically where beggars can't be choosers for their participants.

What do you guys think of my rewrite of Powerful Build?
Powerful Build: Becuase of their ancestry, half-ogres function in many ways as if they were one size catagory larger. They gain a +1 bonus to their Combat Maneuver Bonus and Combat Maneuver Defense. They also count as Large creatures when determining whether special attacks, such as Improved Grab or Swallow Whole, can effect thim. However, they cannot use weapons for designed for Large creatures, as they find them awkward and unweildy to use.

A lot of antidepressants actually keep me awake... no scratch that, they make me sleepy as the day wears on, but I sleep very short and then wake up too damn early. Who in their right mind is wanting to wake up @ 5:30 on a weekend where they don't have to go to work or have kids to deal with?

+1. Always sucks when a gaming session falls through.
