Topic: WotC E-books
Subject: Scribd
Most of the TSR/WoTC stuff that I've tried to download from scribd lately had already been deleted. Still, its worth a try.

Topic: WotC E-books
Subject: Size matters
I'd be happy to mail you all I have, but most email systems have a file size limit well below some of the .pdf files for the books I have.
PM me and we should be able to arrange an FTP file download, if I can remember how to set up my end as a server.

Topic: Just a new...well, newbie...
Subject: They're out there...
I may have to dig around among some of my old RPGing friends and try to get a copy of the 3.5 rules. That or scour amazon. Whatever, I'm game, just like trying new things, doncha know.
Since discovering this site, and getting re-motivated to play, I've dug up my 3.0 books, downloaded the 3.5 versions in pdf format (scridb.com has some for free, paizo.com sells the pdf files for $5 each), and ordered used copies of all the 2.0 books off of amazon, including all of the Complete Book of Whatevers and the Complete Whatevers Handbook.
Edit: I also bought the 4.0 books or rather the 1st volume of them. Its more than a little cheesy for them to divide the basic books into multiple volumes each.
I still like 2.0 the best, probably because I'm old, and spent a lot of my younger days playing it.
The 4th edition seems to me like marketing scheme to sell miniatures, dungeon tiles and (if they're not out there yet, I'm sure they're coming) decks of spell/exploits/actions/powers.

Topic: What does it mean to be Human
Subject: Its da brains
This question is part of my Tenth Grade curriculum,
What really makes us human is that we are clever enough to get others to do our homework for us, and gullible enough for others to get us to do their homework for them.

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Waiting
Irgune folds his arms across his chest and waits while Xavier and Chiron wander repeatedly in and out of the armory, yet neither seems able to decide what they want.
He waits.
And waits.
And waits.
And waits.
And waits.

Topic: New Player Looking for something
Subject: Welcome
Hello and welcome to the Red Dragon Inn
It might help a little of you tell us what games or versions of games you're interested in. You might also want to peruse the Recruitment thread to see if any GM's are currently looking for more players.
It won't be too hard to find something you're interested in.
Good luck and again, welcome.

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Kid in a candy shop
Irgune watches the exchange between Xavier and the Governor with typical, stoic silence. Steady, lad steady. Don't get yourself off on the wrong foot. he thinks to himself, hoping he won't have to pull the half-elf off the Governor. As he sees the two of them face to face, he notes just how pale Xavier's skin is compared to that of the governor.
As nothing comes of Xavier's provocations, Irgune relaxes and listens as Chiron speaks up. He notices that the man's armor is not nearly as shiny as he first thought.
He follows as the Governor leads the group through the corridors to the library, and takes careful note of which book the Governor pulls to open the secret door to the armory. Such knowledge might come in handy someday.
"Quite an impressive collection, don't you agree? You may choose one for each of you. Anything you like."
As he steps into the armory Irgune agrees most whole heartedly. Outwardly anyone watching might have seen his eyes widen momentarily before returning to their usual impassive stare. Beneath the bony ridge of his brow, his beady black eyes shone with delight, or it might have been greed. His gaze roamed the walls of the armory barely settling on one impressive weapon before flitting to one even more magnificent.
Only one? he thought to himself. One? A civil war to the north, two dead guards and a threat to his town and he keeps this locked up like it was his virgin daughter? I'll never understand rich people. He shakes his head for a moment.
Stepping forward as he spots that which he seeks most, his eyes do gleam, and the hint of a smile breaks across his jutting jaw. He extends one meaty fist and wraps it around the haft of black-hafted steel morning-star, possibly of dwarven make. It simply felt right in his fist, like an extension of his own arm. He could almost feel the skulls it had crushed, the limbs it had broken and mangled through all the years of war, carried in the fists of unknown warriors in ages past. This was meant for him.
Clamping his smile shut, he tucked the haft of the weapon into his belt. “This one.” he says, nodding. He then turns and heads out towards the library, almost walking past the Governor before stepping back and pausing before him and looking him in the eye. “Many thanks.”
He then steps back into the library where the distance lessens the temptation, and watches what the others select

Topic: completely off topic
Subject: Coincidentally...
I happen to be a big simulated baseball fan. I've run leagues in the past using Miller Associates Baseball for Windows, and downloaded Out of the Park Developments OOTP9 this past year. I started years and years ago with Sports Illustrated Baseball.
Looks like you're off to a good start, so when you do need testers try to remember me.

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Irgune
Irgune almost... almost smiles when the pasty-faced half-elf starts bouncing around the room and the Governor snaps at him. He grabs a glass of wine and drains it to hide any trace of amusement.
Irgune clears his throat, a sound like a slate flagstone sliding across an oaken floor.
“I'm in" he says.
He then carefully sets the wine glass back on the table, the fluted crystal appearing absurdly small and delicate in his calloused fist.

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Irgune
"Now, as we wait for refreshments, maybe I should explain the situation and why I felt it necessary to request the presence of you fine ladies and", as he scans slowly over the gathered party, he stops at the Half-orc, Irgune, and clears his throat roughly and quickly spits out, "gentlemen" , now looking Irgune directly in the eyes says, "We can be gentlemen about these proceedings, now, can't we?”
Irgune remains utterly impassive at the Governor's implied slight, but says nothing. Even a wounded animal will snarl at those that come to help it he thinks to himself. Still, he gives neither the food nor wine a second glance.
As the Governor continues, Irgune watches the man, taking keen notice of his mannerisms. “Now, this disturbance shows up, a child comes up missing, and I'm sitting here with my hands tied and mud on my face in the eyes of the community."
And which makes you lose sleep, the lost child or the mud on your face?, the half-orc muses silently, familiar enough with politicians despite his limited time in civilized lands.
Confident that he has the Governor pegged, but impressed with the reward being offered, Irgune asks no questions, eager to get to the weapons room and replace his morningstar, last seen in the partially crushed skull of an ogre that had attempted to waylay him on the road.
He eyes up the others gathered in the room, taking particular note of the elf women. Try as he might he could never quite figure women of any race out. Both seemed fine examples of their race, but they were far too delicate for his tastes. Neither looked sturdy enough by a good measure.
“You will have today and tonight to prepare yourselves for the mission and I have already set each of you up the finest rooms at the Nightshade Inn. Now, as I'm sure you have many, now would be a good time for questions, after which I shall show you to my weapons room." said the Governor.
I'm sure they'll have a lovely shack out back for me, Irgune stifled the urge to snort in derision, and simply waited to be lead to the weapons room.

Subject: Irgune
The courier arrived just after dawn.
The innkeeper directed him to the shack out back “I've nothing against his sort personally, you understand, but what would folks think if I let someone like that stay under my roof? This is a respectable establishment”
Just past the corral, not far from the pig wallow, the courier approached a small ramshackle hut slightly larger than the outhouse that sat a few yards away. As he raised his hand to knock, the door was flung open. The courier stepped back eyes wide with surprise at the sight that emerged from the darkened interior of the shed.
Standing only five and a half feet tall, the massively muscled being stepped out into the sunlight naked but for a loincloth. Its leathery gray skin was scarred everywhere he looked. Beady black eyes blinked at the bright morning light from beneath a deeply furrowed brow.
“Are you Irgune?” asked the courier.
The half-orc grunted with a nod.
The courier extended the letter, “I've a message for you.”
The half-orc took the offered letter and unfolded it. Scratching his chin with one thick fingered hand he carefully perused the message. Then handed it back to the courier.
“I don't read” he said, with a voice that sounded like a distant landslide.
The courier took the letter back and using his most imperious voice read it word for word to the half-orc.
“So? Work?” grunted Irgune.
The courier nodded.
The half-orc stepped back into his shack and emerged a few minutes later clad in dragonhide armor, weapons and equipment slung on his back.
“Let's go.”
With that the courier invoked his teleport spell and the two vanished.

I know nothing about the comic books or graphic novel, but I just heard a review on the radio, and the reviewer, who loved the book, panned the movie.

Topic: The Sarcasm Game
Subject: It's the law
I just love how I've finally stopped working in NYC, and I finally get to ride my motorcycle to and from work everyday and my new commute is only 22 miles each way, but manages to go through the enforcement areas of 6 different law enforcement agencies, each of whom sits at the edge of their jurisdiction waiting to catch speeders. You just can't beat that! That's top notch value for your law enforcement tax dollar!!

Topic: Your favorite jokes.
Subject: Two leprechauns walk into a convent...
Two leprechauns walk into a convent in Ireland, and finagle an appointment with the Mother Superior. The taller, smarter looking of the two leprechauns does all the talking when they finally come face to face with her.
"Beggin' yer pardon Mother Superior, but could you tell me... do you happen to have any midget nuns here at the convent?"
The Mother Superior scowls, "No, we have no midget nuns at the convent."
"And would ye happen to know if there are any midget nuns here in county Clare?"
"Certainly not," replies the Mother Superior. "There are no midget nuns in county Clare."
"One last question if its not too much trouble, but do you happen to know of any midget nuns anywhere in Ireland?"
The Mother Superior, her patience wearing thin replies, "No. There are absolutely no midget nuns at all, anywhere in Ireland."
The first leprechaun turns to the second and smirks, "See? I told ye you were dating a penguin."

Subject: A couple of (painful) classics
Perhaps its all the time I spent watching The Three Stooges when I was a wee little tyke, but these two just make me laugh. I know, I know... there was pain and embarrassment in both cases, but it wasn't mine, so its funny.

Topic: Old newb
Subject: Old newb
How old? Well, old enough to remember when the first D&D boxed set came out.
Suffice it to say, I've played for a long time. Or rather I've DM'd for a long time. I've hardly ever had the chance to play. Which is what brings me here.
I've never played by post, but have DM'd a long running play by e-mail game, so I expect I'll catch on quickly enough.
I've pretty much limited myself to D&D (every edition but 4.0) and GURPS over the years. I've played just about every genre of game you can think of, but plain old swords and sorcery type fantasy has always been my favorite.
Just thought I'd drop in and introduce myself. If all goes well, you'll be seeing a fair amount of me.
