Superfly Night crew Dialogs...

[MsFish]

So, is there one world that all D&D games are set in, with standard rules and all that, or are there different ones like there are in the World of Darkness?

Oh, and Jeffe...lets say I had more boat questions...would you be totally opposed to answering some more for me...?

I really need to stop writing about boats, since I know nothing.  

[Eagle Prince]

This is the standard dnd world, although there is an infinate number of planets, and alternate realities like the TV show Sliders... so you might not always be on the same planet or even reality each time you play.

[MsFish]

Each campaign, or each session?

[Eagle Prince]

Each campaign will probably be on a different world, although there are a few prefabricated worlds... Toril, which is where all the Forgotten Realms novels are based, the world that the Dragonlance books are from (forget the name, its like Kern or something), and Oerth which is where the Greyhawk books take place (and was the original DnD world).  Then there is also Ebberon, but its quite a bit different, same monsters and stuff but different setup for how all the planes of existance work.

Although you can go about anywhere in any game with spells... in this game, we were on these islands ruled by Titans, but my cleric used a spell to take us to the Abyss.

I'm getting kicked out of the lab.  Be back.

Hmmm...Jeffe didn't answer my question.  

AIDA is wonderful, can I tell you.  

[Eagle Prince]

What is aida, a band?

[MsFish]

No, a musical.  Set in ancient Egypt.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

I'll answer boat questions if I can... I love boat questions

[Eagle Prince]

Strange, I don't think I've heard of it.  How long has it been out?

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Aida is a pretty famous Opera set in ancient Egypt, I think the opening show in the Cairo Opera House used live elephants....

[Eagle Prince]

Really strange, but the opera thing explains why I never heard of it.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Thing is its probably Verdi's best work, and it ends on such a tragic note...

Since the Heroine is entombed with the dead pharoh.

[MsFish]

I think the Elton John/Rice version came out on broadway when I was in high school--six or seven years, probably.

The music is so cool.  



Thanks Jeffe!  I will probably be resurrecting the boat question soon then.  This one's a contemporary novel, so I need diagrams of boats that someone would have in a small buisness-type setting, just to take some tourists out in the bay area or whatever.  I need a catamaran, and a sailboat, and some kind of a boat that people would fish off of.  

And then I'm going to name them after transformers.  

Okay, so it's official.  Never in my life will I be published.  

[MsFish]

Really strange, but the opera thing explains why I never heard of it.

No no no, it's probably based on an opera, but this is a broadway musical.  Very contemporary.  

I have a thing for musicals, in case you haven't noticed.
