An hour's barely any time at all, really. And we're none of us exactly flush at the moment. But if we're dead set on the singing, it's my duty as Resident Board Alcoholic to point out that we could always do the Armouries and then find a pub with one of those newfangled jukeboxes that have about a million songs in, and then we could sing to our hearts' content. There just wouldn't be any microphones involved.

Ansela just texted me to say her brother wants to come too because he's tempted by the Armouries; any objection?

Oo yeah, I need to get on with that, don't I?

Technically it was gmail that made the doc. It has an option to open Word documents as gdocs. Damned handy, though a shame it can't do it the other way round too.

Yes, that's it exactly! I'm glad you understood.

ARGH. I'm terribly sorry to have to tell people this, but the karaoke bar we were thinking of going to is problematic. Their website *says* they open at 1pm on Saturdays, but apparently "open" does not translate to "running karaoke in the public bar", even though they advertise as, y'know, a karaoke bar. The DJ who runs the karaoke does not arrive until 9pm. I'm sorry about this, their website misled me but it is my mistake.

On the plus side, the private booths are actually FIVE pounds per person per hour, not ten as I previously claimed - don't know where I got that number from. Worst comes to worst, if everyone still wants to go but doesn't have much spending money we can just book in for one hour. Does anyone still want to go, or should we skip it and find something else?

• Molly Rath must never be introduced to Fagin's gang. In no incarnation of Oliver Twist has disembowelment been used as a distraction technique, and they should not be encouraged to start.
  - Molly Rath CERTAINLY should not be introduced to the characters of any book or television show aimed at small children. We all hate the Teletubbies, but having someone eat the Teletubbyland rabbits will not make it better.

I'm absolutely flat broke, at the moment.

I hope to change that after school starts, by getting an on-campus job, but at the moment that's not guaranteed. If I do get a job, and start getting some money, I'd be thrilled to request a commission.

I think the author just thought it would be cool to have a character that dueled Martin and lives long enough to see Matthias and tell him all the answers.

-Daleks and Cylon Centurions should never meet. Never.
-I am not allowed to hack a holo-band (from Caprica) for my own nefarious purposes.
-Even if it's for the greater good.
-I am not allowed to ram giant phallus-like ships into HQ.
-Especially the Galactica.
-Even if Bill Adama did it first.
-I am not allowed to make Yo Mama jokes in the Bible-verse.
-I will not follow Agents Eledhwen Elerossiel and Christianne Shieh around playing "All Along The Watchtower".
-The Flowers must never meet the talking flowers from Alice in Wonderland.
-I will not go around labeling everything with "Eat Me" or "Drink Me".
-Especially if they're unedible.

I will not send Assassins after Peter Jackson.
-R.T.D is fair game, though.
-No he isn't.
-Yes he Glaurunging is.

Being a vegitarian does not make "I was hungry" an acceptable excuse for taking a bite out of the SO.

This is cross-posted from my deviantART account:

I have a question for anybody who happens to see this journal: would you be interested in buying prints or commissions of my work?

I'm living with my fiance now, trying to get a real job, and we kinda need to eat in the meantime. For commissions, I can do three different sizes; sketches, lines, grayscale, colored pencils, combinations thereof; figures, scenes, portraits, animals, whatever. Basically, if it's in my gallery, I can do it. If it isn't, I might be interested in trying anyway.

As for prints, well, I just have to figure out how that [devART's system] works.

So, if you would be interested, or if you know someone who would be interested, please let me know!

I thought THAT series was meant.

Which is like the core sourcebooks, but missing critical information like how much experience is needed to level up, or how much gold you get to starts with, which your GM should be telling you anyway.

http://www.d20srd.org

It's basically a thing so that only the person running the game needs to actually have the books.

See, using this, somebody could tell you they were running a game starting at level 8, and that you could have 1,000 gold worth of stuff, plus one single item worth anywhere up to 9,000, because you were caught in a shipwreck and all your stuff got lost except for that one thing you saved, and you could go ahead and make a character for it, say, a dwarven barbarian whose one item was a +2 battleaxe, and who is very, very glad that they managed to cling to those barrels full of food which, along with the rope used to lash them together, comprise the rest of your stuff, because otherwise they would have drowned.

... I now have an idea for the next campaign I'm going to run.

Also, after your description, I have no desire to play the board game.

Oh, so by "that series" you meant not that series or That Series but that series?

That was ALL dice-rolling. It was kinda like Snakes and Ladders but with goblins ... Bo-ring. I've heard the "real" game is better, but I don't have the money to spare to buy the sourcebooks.

Ah, sorry, by "that series" I mean Death Note. That was poorly phrased.

It's... well... a Death Note fic. In the same sense that My Immortal is a Harry Potter fic. (Though I don't know if many people here actually followed that series.)

It focuses on Dark Yagami, Light's twin brother who trained at Wammy's House. But is secretly Kira.

Oh, and it has such gems as the Life Note, Teleport Note, and the Everything Note.

JOY.

Have fun~!

Oh, and if you see someone with the username "Malier" posting around here, that'd be me. I'm changing it when I don't feel quite so lazy.

The dice shouldn't make up that much of the game, anyway. Most of it should be... well, role-playing. Funny, huh? The dice are just there to make sure people don't just do whatever crazy/stupid/impossible things they can think of, especially when it comes to fighting. Though the fights do tend to drag on sometimes what with everyone taking turns. Oh well. In any case, a good GM doesn't let the dice get in the way of the game.

~Neshomeh, who has a lot of experience with tabletop gaming.

So I can invite you to that. cassie (dot) dramateacher (at) yahoo (dot) co (dot) uk?

Isn't there a vast gulf of time between The Legend of Luke and Redwall? The phrasing of that part of the story seems to indicate that the author thought otherwise.

I've been told I have the attention span of a badly concussed ferret (which I understood to mean very short, from the way they said it,) but I've always found the dice to be the part I can pay the most attention to, because mine are in pretty colors and they make amusing noises when I roll them.

I'll occasionally interrupt the plot to tell people that I just rolled my birthday on the dice or something similar.

I get most of the references, but I still don't find most of their stuff to be funny.

They seem to be... trying too hard? I dunno. Just don't find it funny.

As usual. *sigh* I have to break the habit of leaving for a week then reading the archives, this isn't a webcomic.

I've seen the name, but never met you. Have a shapeshifting plushie.

Well, given the four of us who are definitely attending all live within about a hundred miles of each other, you never know, we might well be able to arrange another for when you're over here.
