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.

A funny thing to share with my amber friends:
the Italian word for shadow is "ombra" and the Italian word for amber is "ambra": isn't it curious?
"All my demons cast a spell
The souls of dusk rising from the ashes
So the book of shadows tell
The weak will always obey the master"

well, you know, I am Italian as my players are, and sometimes we have to say "a shadow of Amber" that in Italian translates in "Un'ombra d'Ambra" and it is next to a tongue-twister!
