Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Anything for a weird life.

Apropos of all the Brute talk (and ignoring all the toaster-talk), I did not know until today that trumpets were among the available weapons. Interesting.

What I've been playing recently is a game called Elements, kind of like a web-based Magic: the Gathering. you build a deck and face various opponents, slowly improving your deck and such. [link] Pretty fun, and if you need some help there's a game-specific chat you can go into and ask anything.

Shush, you. I still have tens of thousands of songs to sing. Don't make me pull out the microphone again! See those two basestars? Ginormous speakerstacks in each one.

Raq, I seem to recall at one point you posting a link to awesomely cool playing card decks. I thought it was here, but maybe it was in Bitches.

Wherever that was, do you remember the site you linked to? Can you link it again? My poker group needs some new cards, and I was telling them about the decks you'd found. I'd like to share those links with them.

move out and draw fire

We got ours from ellusionist.com

We also got the Black Alchemy deck from Vampire.co.uk [link] although this one we use for initiative draws in PnP RPGs.

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

Results of the attempt to debrig Boomer:

Yellow 5
Purple 1
Purple 2
Purple 3
Purple 5
Green 2
Green 3
Green 4
Blue 4

Tally = 16 - 13 = 3. Fail.

Boomer, you're still in the Brig, and you have a second action. Try again, or a different action?
