Gaming stores are dangerous. You go in for a new book, and end up spending 2 hours talking about old games of Warhammer and the relative merits of each type of Boltthrower shot (remember kids, 6 shot for infantry, 1 shot for down-the-rank and dragons).

I don't think it's awful at all. I like it! Especially the failing the wisdom check line. :)

I like the who's-on-first bit, and overall it was a fun read. You'll have to tell us about how the Iron Kingdoms game goes.

So my sister, a music major at the U of U, was standing in an elevator today in the music building when she overheard two of her fellow students talking about this hilarious website they'd read. They were repeating a conversation that revolved around the confusion between "psychic" and "sidekick," and thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Later on she checked our website and...the pieces all fell into place.

So anyway, congratulations MsFish--you're now officially our most famous writer, in that no one else has ever had real-world, third-party commentary before. Huzzah!

U of U will now cease to exist, and shall drift into the ether, dragging it's students along screaming until it emerges into the landscapes of Timewastersguidia.

Lest we forget.  I had to use my diplomacy on those angry goblins thanks to that.  Not that Anglus cares.   :P

I swear I am not making that up. My sister knows these guys by name, so we could track them down if necessary to confirm it. Of course, if they read the site they might find this conversation and know we were talking about them....

Look, ellipses! I'm Jeffe!

yes, but it is permissible to use an ellipse and a period together. ... thus you lose.
