Holloween is about ghosts and goblins (no one here in America equates Holloween with the celtic holiday except geeky folks who play RPG's) and I will reward those kids who understand that.  Those kids that wish to dress in a manner that has nothing to do with the holiday get one piece of candy.

"Or you could simply turn off your porch light, dont put up any decorations, and dont give away candy to trick or treaters period instead of short changing the kids that wear costumes that you deem to be inadequate."  Yeah, thats exactly what the christians want me to do.

Everybody buy the illegal Munchkin dice!

Part of the October 6 Daily Illuminator post for October 6 (http://www.sjgames.com/ill/a/2010-10)

October 6, 2010: These "Munchkin" Labeled Dice Are Not Official!

We have learned that the Polish company Q-Workshop, which produced the "Wicked Munchkin Die" and the "Munchkin Cthulhu Dice of Doom" under license, has shipped at least four other dice sets with the Munchkin trademark and images, and with rules advertised as for use with Munchkin. None of these four sets went through our approvals process, let alone GOT approval.

This guy obviously played too much 4th edition:

Wow.  I would love to play in that game.

i have ran I6 like that about a dozen times over the years. always a different game and never ends up the same either. its amazing how many times the same players try to get through it in a different way - they always die of course....it wouldnt be right otherwise now would it

the funnest bit was when they went down into the catacombs and found an old corridor, hidden inside a tomb...guess where it went....into a tomb-of-horrors-style gauntlet

course they all died before getting about 200ft down the corridor...was a lot of fun tho

not sure i am going to run it this year as i havent had the time to do anything with it - but i MIGHT be running Tegel Manor for kaz and the kids....thats haunted (yes it really is John January!!) so should fit the mould quite easily and i can DM that on the fly for them.

Much attention paid in the UK to John Lennon's birthday today?

Nah, we're mainly Paul and George fans.

Other than they changed the Google image, no.
Surely, it's not his birthday anymore. He's dead.

Actual quote from my Dad (who was so unhip the Beatles were probably the "hardest" rock he ever listened to) the day after Lennon was assassinated:

"I always liked his music. He only made two mistakes, he took drugs and married the ugliest woman on earth."

It depends which drugs you're taking, though I'd agree in Mr. Lennon's case he didn't fare too well.
