So: Doomkitten, lynora, and Ambrosia: team Blithen or team Sardior?!
In case my esoterica is too esoteric (or you want to learn more): part one and part two.
Let the eternal debate commence! Ò.Õ
:D
Well, I've never been a big fan of Sardior. He's so bloody smug. Seriously, he's awful. (Why I rewrote the gem dragon pantheon for my game in a nutshell.) So I would have to go with team Blithen. I mean, sure, he's a bit evilish, but what did you expect?! It's what grand viziers do. Everyone knows backstabbing is part of the most trusted advisors job description. ;P
Bold early choice from the Shelynalike~! I wonder what our next contestant will declare...?
Sardior? Obscure? Never! He has been in.... ummm... a dragon article. And... there have been a few gem dragons in the TSR novels... ok. I guess he IS obscure. Doesn't mean civilized people don't know who he is.
Hahah~! A new challenger has appeared!
Team Sardior or team Blithen, madame?!

The store-bought Mad Libs were never any good for us.
But at restaurants we get a kids' menu and I custom-write Mad Libs for the kids, adding sentences to carry on the story based on what they've said so far.
The kids LOVE 'em!
(And it's great seeing a 15-year-old with a deep bass voice say, "I'd like a kids' menu, please.")

I tried -- I got them "Frozen" Mad Libs, figuring that would be Wrong Beyond All Reason (WBAR). They're amusing, but pale in comparison to Jack's attempts to scale a magic beanstalk and assassinate Donald Trump and the Pope...

Has anyone else wondered "What else is out there?" and by that i mean, do other game and toy companies have robust message boards filled with speculation, grand standing, and hot air.
And is that the beginning of the manifesto the maintenance guy warned me i would soon write now that the kids are in school.
Maybe i should get my own hard hat and vest and just go around the various construction sites and volunteer.

What is a gem dragon again?
I kinda know they existed... I cut my teeth on 2nd edition.
But I have never used them or even read about them.
For shame, for their graven images and sordid descriptions are inscribed within the very Monstrous Manual of 2e!
The 3.5 versions were amazing and the single most terrifying creatures printed: namely because it was retconned that, in addition to normal dragon stuff (including sorcerer caster thingies), they were psions of their discipline-type with a manifester level equal to their hit dice.
...Seriously? How did I miss this?

I've never played Minecraft either. But I have a thirteen year old, so I get to hear about the game long past my attention span has faded. (admittedly that was only like two words in...) :P

Probably because (if I recall correctly) it was in the eratta documentation that updated the MM2 to 3.5 and, from what I recall, never explicitly mentioned anywhere else.
This transformed them from dragons with attack/defense modes (ugh) and a few psi-like abilities to some of the most terrifying things in print. Sadly, I had little enough cause to ever actually use them - the few Psionic games I've run ended up featuring few (if any) dragons (one, I had plans for, but never quite got there, due to life reasons), and fluffable Psionic nature or no, I ended up running published stuff within one or two campaigns after realizing how they had been so deeply altered, so... no real chance.
But some day... with a single feat taken... a 3.5 game will end in epic psionics...

I find that if you drop them into Pathfinder, they are no longer quite so crazy since everything else got a power boost in the changeover. But obviously one of my favorite creaures. That and anything fey. :)

Minecraft is kind of boring but I played it when my niece and nephew went through that phase. Fallout is fun to play around with but not my favorite by any stretch. I haven't played the others. I might go back to Fallout and try some mods.

A co-worker from the second job turned me on to the series. I was so enamored of it I offered it to a close friend who was looking for a book with a strong female protagonist. She fell in love with it. One day while at the third job (convention) she took me to a booth and who was there but Brandon Sanderson himself. I told him how I was introduced to his work and got a chance to thank him while she got his autograph.
He's a really nice guy.

Your exposure to those games sounds exactly like how I was introduced to (and eventually memorized, before subsequently forgetting) the 121 original Pokemon - I sat with an outcast kid who was obsessed with the stuff, and he recounted something different about them every day at lunch. Hence, I learned 'em all.
Now I've forgotten most of it, which is just as well, considering that knowledge is pretty much worthless in modern editions anyway. :)

Sure: it's been 16 years. I'm allowed to have completely forgotten something that I learned about exclusively by listening to a lonely kid ramble about over lunch table every day in High School.
But for two years? For two years, I had 'em named and numbered (and typed as well, heaven help me: I think there's a lingering fondness for psychic- and dark-type pokemon; still never played the originals, though I eventually played a short portion of Pokemon yellow that belonged to my wife, before having life just get in the way).

What is it about Facebook users that their fundamental belief seems to be, "If you're not on Facebook, then you really don't like me?"
Yet again, a couple of our friends who are "Facebook-only" communicators sent out an invite via Facebook, this time for the wife's 40th birthday party. So I don't use Facebook, but NobodysWife explained that they invite other Facebook users, and an alert shows up on your personal Facebook page that you've been invited. But what about those of us with no Facebook at all (myself, Hi's player) or who rarely ever check it (NobodysWife, Shiro's player)?
Well, it turns out that the conversation goes like this:
Hurt celebrant: Why weren't you at my party?
NH: Er... because you didn't invite me?
HC: But it's been on Facebook for two months now!
NH: I don't use Facebook.
HC: Oh! You should get Facebook, then! That way you won't miss my parties!
I was talking with NobodysWife about it this morning. She was talking about how much more effort it is to have to contact everyone individually, so she can understand people using Facebook invites exclusively.
Call me old-school, but if you don't care for me enough to CC: me on an e-mail or give me a quick call, you really don't need me at your party...
EDIT: And yes, this is the same pair of friends who were appalled that we didn't know the wife was three months pregnant. "We posted it on Facebook as soon as we knew! Don't you follow us?" (Big hurt looks at us...)

Well, they're only speaking from what they know. Phone calls aren't how most people operate these days. (Myself included.) Still, it was poor foresight on their part to not adjust their planning once they learned you aren't on Facebook. My Roll20 crew has two guys that don't use Facebook, so we got the crew on Telegram to keep them in the loop.

What is it about Facebook users that their fundamental belief seems to be, "If you're not on Facebook, then you really don't like me?"
My sister-in-law's best friend was shockingly distressed when her Facebook "Add Friend" went unanswered for weeks (maybe months, even). I explained that I access my Facebook account less frequently than I visit my friends in NW 'Bama, and her response of "guarded, mildly condescending half-smile" said it all.
I've logged on maybe twice this year. I made it through all of 2015 with three -- four, at most. I really should just get the account deleted, but I can't be bothered to log on long enough to get even that done . . . . Heh.
Wanna hear from me? Get my phone number. Want to inform me about your world? Get my phone number. Looking for "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" status? Yeah, Facebook's the way to go.

Me: *sigh*They: No! Really!
Me: Well, at least that Marvel Avenger Alliance facebook game looks promising...
Though I must admit that joining the facebook had some positive effects (beyond hundreds of hours spent playing FB games). Like learning that Owen was looking for extra designers to write more templates for Advanced Bestiary...
*not everyone, but those who haven't made facebook account I have even less contact now, even despite trying to keep in touch - like using SMS to send them invites for my birthdays.
One of those recently made a facebook account. When I asked what made him do it, and that I was blackmailed into creating one, he replied that blackmail is a fitting term. He haven't posted since the end of August, though.
