Hell Module. Well, okay, Gehenna.

Tonight was my underdark themed D+D game. We did a module. There was a lot of fire damage the party didn't take because they were weird-ass things. And a hell of a lot of SR to piss off the sorcerer.

Pet peeve of the day -- #$%^@& HeroForge. It's either extremely inaccurate as far as templates and ECL races are concerned, or just hard to use, or an excuse to cheat, because THREE different people using it 'accidentally' added a few character levels because they weren't accounting properly for their ECL adjustment. Lance also tried to give himself 44 stat points instead of 32, and about 40k in starting equipment insted of 7200 (most of that was one item that wasn't especially powerful in combat, but still).

Maybe I should start auditing them or something.

Death to sharks!

From MSNBC:
“Do we want a world without white sharks and giant tunas?” asked Block, who also runs the Tuna Research and Conservation Center. “Do we want a world without mako sharks? Industrial large-scale fishing is making that choice for all of humankind.”

Sharks are primitive throwbacks and should have gone extinct EONS ago! Good riddance.

My sister and brother-in-law came over to give me a key so I can watch their dog while they're in Hawaii... we also went out to dinner at Claim Jumpers, a restaurant whose gimmick is comically oversized portions. This being a family outing (more or less) we all ordered 'cheap' stuff like burgers (note: not actually cheap), but each of us had a full box of leftovers...

The waitress still asked us if we wanted dessert.

I wasn't very good at the smalltalk, unfortunately. I think the main problem is that there's nothing that I can really talk about -- everything I've been doing lately has been stuff I enjoy doing rather than stuff that's impressive to talk about, or useful in any way, and it's not really even *popular* culture. No one wants to hear about what video games I'm playing, or how many people died in the last RPG session.

Or maybe I just need to focus more. Or plan in advance? Write up cue cards?
