I think it's just mostly astounding that Goldfarb took a swipe at a group of people based on their hobby. Who's next, philatelists? And I remember the days of D&D being banned.

But, please - have they not seen the high-end catalogs selling high-end Halloween decorations? Geeks are the money.

The... dare I say it... "elitist" money?

Yeah, we're pointy headed elitist intellectuals.

Well, really it's just the wizard hats that are pointy. The heads underneath are still mostly normal looking.

If I have more money than sense, what should I spend it on to make my gaming sessions as opulent as possible?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

But first, you'd get a saving throw.

Nice, although not perfect (because I am a snot). But I think that does reinforce my point(y head) that gamers are the money now.

Anyone who can afford a 10K gaming table should come to the attention of Mr. 7 Houses.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Man, that would be kinda awesome.

If only it was a light table, too.

I may have to build me one of those, only out of crappier wood.

Coding and Sleeping

I've decided I wanted to reinstall Oblivion on my computer to clean things up a bit and just install mods that I know I want since I played around with a bunch. When I made my list of mods I wanted to install, I ended up with 30 of them. I am a total nerd.
