Thanks for your help.

There's probably several. The one I know is The Society for Creative Anachronisms.

LARP - Live action role playing

NERO (New England Role-playing Organization) attended Origins, and I think that they'll be at Gencon as well [http://www.nerolarp.com/]

IFGS (International Fantasy Gaming Society) [http://www.ifgs.org/]

LAIRE (Live Action Interactive Roleplaying Explorers) I think that they used this Larp in the movie, Role Models [http://www.laire.com/]

I played NERO for 14 years, give or take...

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

Of course, it would not be a World Cup without a Nike ad.

Here it is.

Here too for your viewing pleasure is the Puma World Cup ad. Nowhere near as extravagant, but it does have fantastic Gnarls Barkley track. For my mind it is better.

Well, I just dusted off Circle of Fire to get moving along for publication and what do I find, but my old RPGA #

Circle of Fire was desgned for an RPGA tournament and like a Eruptor's Vengeance (which was oringally Eruptor's Legacy) was accepted by RPGA and I assume is still lost in their files (or more likely, the trash).

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

Someone please give me a reason not to buy the two different versions of the black-covered 2E DM, PHB, and MM. The white numbers/red numbers on the spine will drive me more insane than usual.

Why stop at 2? I'm up to 9 different 2E PHB and 7 different 2E DMGs.

*uses Jedi mind trick* You don't need both versions. These aren't the books you are looking for. Go about your business. Move along...

Are all Dragon #51's printed with the back cover upside down? Why did that happen?

You would think that would be a pretty big error not to have caught.

If that wasn't so scary, it would be high comedy! By the way, those are some HUGE miniatures on their table. Bigger than chess pieces!

I see this cartoon every few years and it always cracks me up!
