I ran the original Ravenloft module (I6) on Halloween once. Went over well. In my old 1990s era 2E game ( the one I played with my minister and the bishop's warden), the DM had us fight a fruit cake golem that had a petrifaction based breath weapon during our December session. Sometimes I miss you, ...

If you always vote for the lesser of two evils, all the people running the system have to do to get you to accept something - anything - is to put up an alternative that's even worse. There comes a point where you have to say "these are my core principles and if no candidate will support them ...

Hypothetical: Sanders is the Dem nominee. Trump is the GOP nominee. How does that end for us?

I'm not familiar with D6 SPACE. I've played Star Wars D6 (2 Ed) extensively. Requires a lot of mind caulk, has too many skills, and Jedi are better than you, so we tend to ignore them and just use the system for Rebel SpecOps missions. As a beer and pretzels shoot 'em up, we've had a lot of fun with...

I actually predicted him to be the nominee, in the earliest days. It looks like I'm going to have to eat crow on that, but I still have a faint hope that all the frontrunners will implode once reality catches up with them. I'll go ahead and call Rubio now, with Kasich coming in second. Like you, I'...

I'm more surprised that we have 224 actual members who each have over 300 posts. The Gaming Den, counting our time on BBBOY, turns twelve next month.

Anybody want to speculate on, in the overhelmingly likely event of any Democrat winning 2016, the likelihood that Texas will attempt to secede and how that will play out?

I really don't want to move, but the secessionist here seem dead set on this happening.
