"To Hit Armor Class 0"

I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.
In HS I was on two teams and I even lettered, of course one was the Science Olympiad team. I never paid for the jacket but on one occasion I was mentioning to a friend that I did, in fact, have a letter. One of the Football guys overheard and asked quite condescendingly what team a skinney little twerp like me could have made it onto.
I told him that if he got on all his gear and I got all mine and we started off at oposite ends of the football field he would never make it past me to my end zone. He looked confused and my friend sprayed soda.

Yes,... yes, I agree. It's totally unfair that sober you gets into trouble for things that drunk you did.

Dude, this rocks. My new tasks include staying up late to chat with people in a foreign country and delegate tasks to them, which I can do in between babbling on message boards and web surfing. And I'm getting OT pay to do it.

Back to high school shootings, Locks? And we come full circle. Well done.

Nice.
My job mostly involves me trying to not tell people three times my age how stupid they are.

How's your Hindi?
A little sore from where I fell on it, but getting better.

bear in mind this was over a decade ago when we were still allowed to use cap guns in band performances and well before Columbine
I imagine nowadays even mentioning that you have access to a firearm might be construed as a threat.

My favorite stupid idea was the split in half ability scores. "I can't carry shit but I hit harder than a giant. I think that's a fair trade..."
To some degree it made sense (Small arms, big legs, etc), but D&D is too damned abstract for that sort of thing.
Yea, I wouldn't have a problem with it if the goal of D&D was to be a simulation but it's a game. When combat was about a thousand times more important than how much shit you can carry, it's was a poorly thought out idea.
This was just after the Lorraine Williams period where a majority of the work was outsourced so the staff writers could get busy on the Buck Rogers license so I can kinda understand why. Was some dark days there.

I'm dealing with Belarussians, but the guy I'm communicating with speaks English well enough.

Well the thing with carrying capacity... people rarely actually BOTHERED with encumbrance, what with bags of holding and whatnot.

If it gets dicey, say:
"Vui khochetye igrat(s) v shakmatii?"
And then play chess instead.
What, praytell, does that mean?

I went to a middle school in Dallas for half a year where they had metal detectors at both entrances. On the first day I went through the very thorough one that went through absolutely everything you had and took forever. The backpack I had at the time had a compartment on the very bottom that I never used. Over the summer I had won a crappy comb at an arcade and put it in there for some reason (my hair is really thick and the comb was effectively useless, I don't know why I even kept it). The thing about the comb is that when folded up it looked like a switchblade. So it was in there, all forgotten, until the lady is looking through my bag and comes across it. I give a mental "Oh shit!' upon seeing her holding what looked like a switchblade. Then she opened it, gave it a once over, and said, "You'd have to be pretty stupid to believe this was real," and let me through. I went through the other, faster metal detector the rest of my time there.
Moral of the story: Kids, if you want to hurt or kill someone on school property, do it outside. It's not worth it to do it inside. Plus, it's like that Chris Rock song. If you're outside, you know that everybody inside isn't armed.

-12 man.

I loved how the Great Wyrm Red Dragon had a better AC than the lower cap. It was just great.
Of course, there was that one...
...that one with -14.

The only reason I do not play D&D right now is because I haven't had D&D buddies since early high school.
Maybe he is a worker of dreams.
I have a freakish memory. I also had a friend who would rail on about that far too often.
You're not hardcore unless you remember MENTAL THAC0.
That was some crazy shit.
Also later the new attempt at Psionics, but yeah.
DS was a damned interesting setting.
And of course Spelljammer.
Wait, The Will and the Way? The one that let psions throw negative energy bolts, swap the area around them with any plane they liked and time travel?
The was an awesomely bad idea of a book.
Edit, Nevermind, shitty Player's Option: Skills and Magic or some such shit. That was horrible.
And yes, PS remains king of them all.
But DS was just badass.

I liked the Split stats, myself.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...

Come to think of it, I never did beat that game. I probably have a save file around here somewhere.
