But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

I don't know. I see yours managed seven, and I think that's probably one more than my best.

And you got taken down HARD. Still, you were level 5 v 10. And not only that, he's a powerful level 10; take a look at all the powers he has. No wonder he inflicted almost 60 points with that club!

Especially if the right addons were developed, this could blow Fantasy Grounds and other virtual tabletop tools into the stone age.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And they will be, given the APIs available and the overall openness of the system.

You seem to be assuming that there is overlap between the programming and role-playing game communities.

You seem to be assuming that there is overlap between the programming and role-playing game communities.

Considering that many current RPG sites have developer communities creating all kinds of web tools, program extensions, and even iPhone apps, that's not an assumption. It's a reality.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

(I think Gud was joking.)

Holy sh*t, I knew I should have gone to that Super Bowl party!

Or rather, my former housemate is friends with those guys, one has a place a few blocks away from me, if you want me to ask for details.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

YES! Details!

ION, I managed to leave work early enough to find and make it before they close, to the comic book/game shop! Woot! So, I am now the proud owner of the BSG board game!!

And, since I no longer live in the same neck of the woods as Drew & Kristin, I picked up my own copy of Settlers of Cataan! They had a very tempting set of Cataan, a hand crafted 3-d multi-pack in a nice wooden case. I was very tempted, until I saw the price ($400), then I gently put down the pretty box and backed away from the shelf.

I spent a bit more than if I had purchased at Amazon, but I'm supporting a local shop, plus, I haz it NOW!

I have asked, but, like everyone else, my former housemate is buying a house, so he's a bit distracted at the moment.

Mostly, I'm now thinking this guy is probably in town and I really want to meet him and see his fabulous place (with in-home movie theatre)!

Former housemate has this--it was a gift, or he won it, or something. It is very nice.
