    That's Dark Heresy, right? I know a little about the universe, more than I know about, say, Eberron, so I'd be down to play a few sessions of it if you can scrape together some other participants. I don't think any of my friends would be into it, although I could put out an announcement on the Enigma mailing list and pretty easily get a few near-complete-strangers to come play.

    Yeah it's Dark Heresy. I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be running a game for total strangers, never done it before. And the idea of throwing $40 at something I might get to run sometime is a bit strong. Maybe I'll just wait on it. I'd also love to run a Legend of the Five rings or a Serenity game sometime.

    Gah, I am such a nerd.

    Lexapro is mostly an anti-depressant

    meaning: 1. it probably won't do shit to someone who isn't depressed and 2. It'll have to be taken for a least a few weeks before you notice anything

    PUA thread is giving me visions of hordes of awkward nerds taking lexapro to help them pick up chicks, only to have it rob them of their libido.

    Wait they actually suggest that

    wtf

    No, the PUA people do not suggest that. Someone in the thread was recommending people in there with anxiety disorders should get help and mentioned lexapro. Then a couple of them were all "yay drugs to help I should get them".

    uhh Lexapro is prescribed just as often for anxiety as it is depression.

    That's pretty much exactly why they don't take donations. Not the misspelling, the fact that as soon as people start financially supporting the forum, they start expecting a set of standards in exchange for their support.

    I was thinking like boardgame wargames, so more of the axies and allies variety.

    Have you heard about that boardgame that is basically BloodBowl for Warmachine?

    they don't really know why they work, but

    it has to do with the absorption of a chemical between the synapses in your brain

    G.I. Joe made me want to play Army of Two again, mostly because all the Cobra troops wore masks that looked exactly like the ones in Army of Two. So I played Army of Two, and after dying a few times because I couldn't remember how to make my partner take aggressive cover, I got back into it and it's still a pretty fun game.

    I wouldn't see an issue with that. I mean if people paid for a more stable board, they could also pay mods part time and get a better establishment of rules. I believe Something awfuls pay boards operate in that way.

    specifically serotonin levels in the brain

    I take one of Lexapros older cousins it's worked for me. As you can tell by the well-adjusted cheery nexus you all know and love.

    SSRIs are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
    How SSRIs Work

    The brain chemistry of depression and anxiety is not fully understood. However, a growing body of evidence supports the view that people with these disorders have an imbalance of the brain's neurotransmitters. These are chemicals in the brain that allow nerve cells to communicate. One of these neurotransmitters is serotonin. An imbalance in serotonin may be an important factor in the development of depression and anxiety.

    Serotonin is released from one nerve cell and passed to the next. In the process, some of the serotonin released is reabsorbed by the first nerve cell

    SSRIs block the reabsorption of serotonin into the first nerve cell

    It is this blocking action that causes an increased amount of serotonin to become available at the next nerve cell

    This is how SSRIs affect the balance of serotonin in the brain

    Lexapro is good for long term anxiety but it's hardly a one-shot medication.

    there's plenty of other meds for single use anxiety quashing(not that I'm endorsing illegal use of anything)
