dungeons and dragons (D&D) anyone?

true as hell. fish are sensitive to all that ****.

out of curiosity, what kind of fish did he have?

Fortunately, they were only guppies.

Right now we have a big beautiful pleco (that unfortunately has grown too big and we need to find a new home for), some little mini salmon (can't remember their real name) and neon tetras. There's also 3 catfish looking bottom feeders that are pretty cool.

Most of the little salmon have died due to something going on in the tank that finally sorted itself. Once we find Spot a new home (yes, we named the pleco) we'll move a tiny pleco in another tank into the big one.

plecos are little beasts. i like them. but man, they get huge! ive seen them well over a foot long before.

neons are always fun, great little schoolers, and i love guppies! if we are referring to the real guppies and not just "baby fish."

we've had some beautiful ones in the past. big flowy tails.


i do wonder what the little salmon are.

oh and cat fish. those can be cool. we had a pair of "shark catfish" who would be on bottom patrol and eat every little thing. so active and pretty cool. especially after the lights go out. i imagine them and the pleco threw parties.

I'm thinking about getting some people their own little dice bags for use to keep a few sets separate and ready for when they play.

Upon going through my latest pound of dice I think for a generic pound of dice deal I got some good stuff. There are some that you can tell they were in a process of transitioning from one color scheme to another in the ********* machine they create them in (Which is why they were probably seconds and in a pound of dice deal.), and because of that some of them are half one color and half another, some of them even have speckle in one half, and it makes for a pretty good but simple effect for a lot of them.

 

[Petra]

Honestly, that's why I like ordering pounds of dice. You always get something cool.

Sadly, I've noticed my big chessex battlemap is really holding onto the marker now. ;-\ I think before too long I'm going to have to bite it and invest in another one.

 

[squallumz]

i havent gotten that pound o dice yet. i saw some pics on amazon of what people got. loads of d6s. im not that brave.

there is, however, that ****** that's intriguing. but im pretty picky with my colours.

as for the battlemap, i have the smaller one. shes still doing well. my pazio flip-mat on the other hand, that thing looks like ****. i should have just gotten the chessex one right off. but that was my first mat. got me going, i guess. i cleaned it off the other day. lots of wrinkles and the corners are pretty shot. it never did lay completely flat, even with books on it. the creases always drove me crazy.

i really have to say, i may not be a fan of chessex dice anymore (mainly the d20s), but those battlemaps are the ****.


i admit, im a convert to the gamescience dice now. i may not have a set yet, but my girls set is gorgeous. when you throw em, they sit right away.

Maybe you could start throwing out some subtle hints about what would make a good present for you.

It does seem from what you talk about that she gets all the cool RPG stuff between the two of you. :1orglaugh

haha, you are exactly right! she does get the cool stuff!

she put another set of gamescience dice on her list for christmas. i emailed them regarding it and the ones she wants are going to be in production for a couple weeks or more. i hope they are done by christmas!

of course, she knows i want just 1 d20 gamescience dice. thats all i need. chessex are beautiful but those 20s are a little off. all mine have favourite sides. having a control dice for PURE randomness would be cool.

 

[Petra]

Well, the sinterklaas loot has been gotten. 3 board games and Guildwars2 among other things. Can't really be unhappy about that!

 

[squallumz]

3 board games?? well, dont be shy now, what where they?

 

[Petra]

alahambra, a train board game (can't remember the name) and a dutch game about the city of Houten.

 

[FreeOnes_Anders]

Would that be Ticket to Ride?

Ja.

 

[squallumz]

did you guys see that there's a descent second edition? i was wondering why the original descent went way up in price online. by 100 bucks!

Yup. And if you have the 1st edition, there's a conversion book so you can use the old monsters/heros with the new edition.

Also...finally played Last Night on Earth last night. Super fun. Depending on how many players there are there's up to 2 zombie players that are controlling the zombies, and then up to 4 heroes. What's cool is you can play with 2 people too.

 

[Petra]

Well. I got Cthulhu Fluxx for my birthday last week (and Anders got me a little plush chibi cthulhu).

And last night my players toasted 2 major NPCs, almost got a 3rd, and one of the players almost got himself done in. Tremere is not pleased. They're now all on probation and have become a council member's lackey in order to make up for almost ******* her. Trust me, not the person you want to be indebted to as her nature is psychopath.

LOL whenever I think about train games I think of this video (link).

Speaking of boardgames, has anyone here played Lords of Waterdeep? I got it as a gift 2 months ago and can't stop playing it. In almost all my spare time I take it to the local shop to play with anyone who wants to play which is generally the mega hottie store clerk. Not sure what I like about it so much. It seems less.. competitive/adversarial than other games I've played, but that could be because I play too much of the space version of Risk (always take the moon, fuck the consequences!)

 

[FreeOnes_Anders]

Never heard of it to be honest, most our games seems to be influenced by either zombies or chtulhu...Petra....

 

[AerynWalker]

zombies freak me out. Only ever played in one zombie game where we all created characters from a random roll sheet. I was Ashton Kutcher, I had a van and my weapon was a surfboard. I got done in by a ****** picket fence because I didn't have any points in drive. Oh well

he would use a surfboard for a weapon.... good role playing there.

Hah, love the video.

I haven't played Lords of Waterdeep, but there's loads of boardgames I haven't gotten to. Arkham Horror seems to get the most playtime...though I just ordered Zombicide which should be on its way this week (more minis to eventually paint...ugh) and I'm backing Guilds of Cadwallon (http://kck.st/VkQpOW).

Board games are getting more popular with the yearly con I go to in the UK, so it'll be interesting to see who has what next month.

Speaking of conception....Squally, do you still need a set of those vampire dice?
