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

I think Omnis was kicking in for a license too. I was going to keep at least one full and one lite on machines at my place so I'll take two of the shares, then I think the second lite will go to Omnis.
Unlike my beer, One lite for me please. What's my share then?

We'll have to come up with some complex mathematical formula to work out shares.

so if I roll a 20, does that mean I pay the least or the most? And is a 1 a good roll or bad?

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

Depends if you're still playing Second Edition.

On which note, I just preordered my 4th Ed rule books. And saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by threatening my agent with a golf club.

I might have to try this method.

Hey, I have something coming up in my Eberron game I thought I'd solicit ideas for. I'm sending them into the Mournland when they're about fourth level, there to know fear and despair in boundless measure. As part of the experience, I want each of them to suffer vivid nightmares. Problem is, I have seven players, so I need seven nightmares, and I need good ones. I have a couple already planned, but I was wondering if anyone here has some good ideas for a one-page or so nightmare narrative.

It's almost midnight here, so I won't go into detail yet, but I'll post about them tomorrow.
