That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

So if we're in the brig and we play an interrupt, does that count as our one card?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

No; you can only play one card into the check, but you can play as many interrupts as you want.

President Roslin, you're next. Please post how many cards you're playing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So Wii Swordplay is pretty fun.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Is that part of Sports Resort?

I think it's going to be a long time before I feel the need to buy something new for the wii. Mario Kart is my heroin.

move out and draw fire
I need a name for a blog about gaming.
It will be mostly about tabletop RPG, mostly the old-school kind (D&D 1e, Judges' Guild, Runequest), but will include whatever the author feels like including.
It will be structured like an advice column, with a gangsta sensibility.
Examples of the writing include:
(On "The Tyranny of the DM") Back in the 1e day, wasn't no way I was putting myself in the hands of any tyrannical, swaggering, tin-pot DM with delusions of dictatorial grandeur. Hell no! That was my role, and I clung to it with all both my hands, thank you very much! And I assure you, there were no "good times." I didn't fucking learn every fucking rule in 1e to make "good times" for players. Shit no. I was there to teach lessons, HARD FUCKING LESSONS, about life and about trying to use NPC ONLY classes as PCs. I didn't have ISSUES! I had SOLUTIONS! I didn't put up with no mullet-headed, Metallica-listening, metal shop drop-out bringing any of that anti-paladin shit into my game. Straight up word, mofo. Fo real, aiight?
Other topics include:
On the use of NPCs as PCs in 1e D&D
"This is my anti-paladin," and 10 other things I told yo' mama when I rolled her over in bed this morning.
Traps in the 1e D&D game
Because you're a dumbass, that's why. 25 points of damage, now write it down.
Music and the proper 1e D&D atmosphere
I don't CARE if there's a song called Rivendell on it, no fucking Rush in my house!
