    OT: Gaming (comp, pen&paper, whatever)

    Ok, who games?
    What do you play?
    How long?

    Have you ever gone to bed and cried for a week when a
    character died?

    Have you ever used an old character's name for an email, avatar
    or some other purpose besides gaming?

    Did you save all your old character sheets even though you sold
    all your D&D stuff on ebay? (oh, wait...that's me )

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    well, I was stupid in love and thought I was getting a ring....
    she, of course, dumped me 2 months later.

    good ridddance in hindsight but I still lost all the stuff
    including a 1st printing FF.

    Chicks, I hope you slapped her or at least stomped on her head. My woman is a gamer so I don't have to worry about that. Did you have the original print Dieties and demigods in there also?

    offtopic, slightly

    http://www.elvish.org/elm/names.html

    find your name in Sindarin (high Elvish.)

    Apparently I am either Alcarinquallo or Alcarillo. Both of which suck.

    Oh yeah? Well my uncle runs a miniature figure company and played in the very first D&D game (he didn't like it) and is a personal friend of Gary Gygax, who signed a copy of one of the D&D manuals for us! Try to control your jealousy.

    If I go with my middle name, it's Eruanno. That's significantly better.

    Looking at the name I'd like to give a son yields Sérener. Not bad at all. And for a daughter...well, my first choice isn't there, but it's practically an elf name to start with: Boudicca. Second choice gives Ilya, which sounds masculine to me, although I can't remember the reason for that - some Russian fictional or historical character has the name, although I don't recall who.

    Tomb of horrors is so cool. I love putting my players through that meat grinder.

    It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.

    I thought Style was itself in Elvish.
