Sending warm greetings from Corpus Christi

For your lovely photo, I recommend offering to mow the lawn.  After that, you can Fed-Ex us some snow shovels.

I also just found out it's a sad day for we sci-fi geeks.
Leonard Nimoy passed way.

Yes, I heard about Leonard Nimoy. That was sad. I wonder if they even sell snow shovels around here.

By the way, I have found only one 7-eleven in Corpus Christi. They've been replaced with a place called Stripes. So you can salute a corporate flag as you pump your gas.

The dancing shamrocks on Google were dancing to the beat of the Gaelic Storm song I was listening to. That was pretty funny to me, so I had to share it.

Okay, so, if a Pirate Party can politically dominate Iceland's parliament, maybe there is hope for our APP movement.

Did this really just happen?

So I found a good gaming group in Texas and I started running a game with them. Here are some things that should seem familiar to you.

Europa (the Rogues): I got a 16 to Search for Traps

Me: No traps that you know of.

Bill (Playing the Cleric): I hate it when he says that.

And I shit you not, one of the Ryans said:

Roll that beautiful bean footage!

Soon thingy shall become part of their vernacular as well.

Ah, the many memories of "no traps that you know of"

Player: search for traps
DM: no traps that you know of
Player: 5' step and check again
DM: no traps that you know of
Player: 10' step and check again
DM: You walk 10' forward.  The 2 players - whom you have walked 15' ahead of - reflex save DC 16.
All players: <insert swear words here>


And no player is truly, fully indoctrinated until they understand thingy as a professional adventuring term for a not fully describable something they hope to never run into again!

The worst part is that the traps that were tripped were mostly because of players deciding to move ahead of the rogue.
