Man, I hate rolling dice uphill.
Just got back from RoTK, and oh the many gamer geek jokes. I liked when Merry rolled a 20 on his backstab attempt, and when the orcs failed their antagonism checks. That last one's more Warhammer, but still.

Thanks for all the fish.
My sleep is so utterly fucked up.
I don't suppose anyone else is up?

Saw a post somewhere else (I think it was on the slashdot link somebody posted the other day) saying that Firefly had pretty much the same plot as most old Traveller campaigns with a bit of a western flavour added. I remember thinking the same thing when the show first started. Traveller was the first game I got into way back when, and there were so many times that Firefly felt like a good gaming session that I lost count. I suppose that's one of the many reasons I took such a shine to the show...

Thanks for all the fish.
I've got to work later today, too... Overnight shift. I should be asleep all day. I won't be.

Sun's up in, what, another 2&1/2, 3 hours?

Traveller, I've never played. Quite a bit of ADND, including some truly bitchin' Oriental Adventures stuff, and more Palladium crap than one man should have to see.
Hey, Elena. I saw RoTK! In short, I found Arwen quite annoying, I continue to be aghast at the slighting of the Dwarf in favor of the prettier cast members (The Tyranny of the Cute Ones continues unabated), and I never really believed they wouldn't scour until they didn't.
Furthermore, I must say I think I prefer Helm's Deep just a bit to the Pellenor Fields, since it's much more about the throwing down of enemies and smiting their ruin upon the mountainside than the CGI beasties. Not that I didn't like Pellenor, but ...
On the plus side, the Witch King was balls nasty, and all different kinds of fearsome, Eowyn rocked, and the Eye, for good or ill, looks a lot less like a giant flaming vagina.
