This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Ok, so not exactly movie gold. But it is hilarious.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

...Fish-man clerics, of course. With glaive-guisarm-bec-de-corbines.

Quote from: Drohem;364957Here are a couple of pictures I took tonight of both next to each other:

I've crunched the numbers, and I'm pretty sure the guy on top of the tower (Intro to AD&D set) is fucked.

Cool find, thanks for the fotos. :)

Yeah, it doesn't look good for him. ;)  The other guy seems to be taunting the blue dragon with his arm, as if saying 'doesn't this look tasty?  Don't you want just a nibble?' :D

Your welcome.  Now, I am going to have to dive into both closely and find the differences between the two products.

I'm not sure about that. Have you seen some of what Cubicle 7 has been putting out lately? Aside from the Doctor Who box set, and Starblazer Adventures of course, tonight Jong brought open his just-purchased Qin GM's screen, which is easily the most amazing GM screen I'd ever seen.
