Actaeon

... I'm starting to think we need a cooking thread.

With the cooperation of most restaurants that serve breakfast, obviously.

I don't think I know anyone that heavy.

But if Nalyd's post is on page two, isn't Nikki's? Unless the latter makes the cutoff for page 3, I suppose.

On it. And you're on page two, too, Nikki. Edit: Hi Nalyd! Didn't recognize your PDN.

I'd love to, if I knew how to access it.

Ditto. Perhaps someone could run a newbie campaign? Get us up to snuff? I'm been cast as a DM for so long, running a PC would be quite novel.

I'm not sure why I find post-mortem jokes in poor taste. It's not like the butt's around to be offended.

Well, if "we" means the United States, we actually cannot currently send anyone into space.

Surely even a three or four hundred pound man would be negligible in comparison with a two thousand ton shuttle (or the Russian equivalent).

So what's up with the death of movie theatres? I admit I avoid the big cineplexes, but I'd be lost without the little local places.

Firefly isn't the only partial season worth watching. "New Amsterdam" happens to be my personal favorite. Alphabetical order, Tyran? That's quite a list you've got there, and it includes pretty much every still running show I pay attention to, plus several I gave up on. I am limited, however, by my reliance on Hulu, which doesn't carry HBO (for instance) and Netflix, which is often late to the game on things like BBC (I will probably use iTunes to keep up with Sherlock).

If there is a topic like this on Spiderweb, my search skills are not up to the task of locating it. I'd like to hear what the community is watching on TV and in the cinema. This is partially out of curiosity, and partially because my Netflix instant cue is running dry. (My favorite movie of the year, so far, was "Midnight in Paris". I have not watched any new shows, but have been following the new season of Futurama.)

Because it's the mostly widely known, and is at least better than 4?

I don't really play table-top RPGs mostly because I don't know anyone in RL who plays them. Given the opportunity, I'd probably give it a try. Pretty much exactly this. Ditto. There's nothing to stop a group of Spiderwebbers from making the break into D&D proper (3.5, of course). Learn on Skype, and you can always teach your friends when you start to feel like an actual human interaction.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but aren't there tablets that run full versions of Windows? If not, surely Acer has a super small laptop with enough power to run these games.

A few years ago, we had the same response to people that asked about iOS. Times change, and if tablets are the future, Jeff will probably be there. In the mean time, I think that most people with access to Android possess a more traditional computer capable of running a Spiderweb game.

I would make the thread right now if I had any business doing so. Some of the ideas pitched by SOT are food for thought as a fairly experienced traditional DM. AIMhack itself is novel and engaging. It may be that, someday, the Spiderweb Software forums will be known as a community which pushed the boundaries of the pen-and-paper RPG and brought it into a new and exciting age. Heaven knows Wizards of the Coast isn't doing it.

I would go to a Dr. Mcninja movie.

With Alorael's tenth Spiderweb anniversary coming up in a few weeks and yours a few weeks past? Not necessarily.

Quote: "Russell T. Davies and then Steven Moffat have done their own transformations, which were fantastic, but we have to put that aside and start from scratch," he said. Doesn't sound like they'll be using the current TV doctor. Or the previous one, for that matter. Jack Davenport, maybe? I don't know many British actors besides the ones in Monty Python and Coupling.

Perhaps they could just get David Tennant to do it.

You didn't have to shut it down on my birthday, Tyran.

Perhaps the social equivalent of the Founder Effect? A smaller population is prone to the artificial dominance of behaviors, attitudes, or interests to an extent not representative of the original whole. If they're any more exclusive than the original, they'll leak membership until it's not worth it any more. And if they're not, what's the point? I was a huge fan of Shadow Vale (greater variety of non-game forums was a plus), but the original will always be king. Edit: Or what Thuryl said. The rapid turnover of spiderweb subcultures, in action.
