Wow, thanks for the offer, I might just take you up on that! As always, the big problem is child care, but with three adults, I'm sure we can figure out something. I look forward to getting showed up by my wife yet again :P

You mean where are my relatives? Well my parents are in the Netherlands, my wife's parents are each at least three hundred miles away. My brother is in the area, although he's a college student, so he isn't always available.
What an odd question... |

I think he is wondering more as to your living arrangements, being that there are three adults in a house with some children (who may or may not belong to more than one of said adults). ;) :D |

Me, my wife, PBTHHHHHT. I don't live at PBTHHHHT's house.
However, if there were multiple adults, I'd have to take credit for siring all the children. (And for the record, the children we DO have do belong to more than one adult. I wonder what sort of weird asexual budding goes on in Fortune's house, though.) |

yeah, I think he misunderstood what you meant when you said with three adults thinking that the three are all in a relationship/living arrangement. Instead of your meaning that between you, your wife, and I (the three adults) we can figure out how to arrange for you to be available from child watching duties.

SinN really should be talking anyway. He lives in Utah, and almost ended up rooming with us for a while. :)
Which really is probably for the best (this is where we go back to topic :D), because a bunch of gamers living together, damn, you'd never get anything but runs done. Am I right nezumi? The one time I had a roommate that gamed, we played all the frickin' time. I actually got sick of it because it wasw all he seemed to want to do. Now, in hind sight, that may have just been because I was always running the game. But that quickly leads to the sort of thing SinN was walking about, where one of your dork friends (or in my case, just me) trips over something, and everyone chuckles about how you failed your Reaction test. We are a sad, sad lot. A happy sad lot, but still sad. :cyber: [ Spoiler ] [ Spoiler ]

Hey! I was just trying to help clarify matters, and I find myself on the receiving end of some negative sexual allegations. I guess that's what trying to be a nice guy gets you. :( :P |

How can you be on the receiving end of asexual .... eh never mind. Rather not go there.
We still love you Fortune. Well, the rest of us do. But Grinder called you a namby-pamby the other day. |

you sir are an addict.
I've never had such a conversion in my life. Some small part of me thinks this is sad that i have not. I have, however, worked with a GM and we would every day talk about what was going on in game and i would tell him what my characters future plans were. Which tended to be interesting, humorous, and hurtful to others. The others being the NPCs that i aimed them at. |

All the time. Usually using terms like ''Failing a Perception Roll'' when i can't find something, getting a ''Critical Glitch on my ____ skill'' when i totally #&ยค% something up, my husband making his Negotation(Bargian) rolls when we were in New York last week, in Chinatown, buying random stuff from those shops they have all around, and the like. You do get odd looks when the people don't get it, but when someone DOES game and actually understand what you say it's a great thing. :grinbig:
BTW...epic band...were you listening to either A. Dragonforce B. Avantasia or C. Some sort of Viking metal? :D |

Because they are indeed epic. Dragonforce are like, in RPG terms, the munchkins of power metal. They somehow managed to twink themselves faster than any other band out there, and they play at full speed from start to finish, not unlike a twinked wired reflex 3 sammy. They're a staple of our games, also. :grinbig: and erm, remember what this thread's name was called? Yeah. Between RPGs and metal music it's a wonder i actually managed to get married. :P |

:grinbig: Oh man I think my RPG group of about 8-9 yrs has just been discribed in these two pages! We have done all that from calling out skill checks when we screw something up to calling cops lone star or knight errant. Heck we even visited a rl location to see what it was like so one our group members could build a background and safe house there in game terms. Ahh any more and ill just be ranting but yah call me a dork, a nerd a dork just dont call me late for a Shadowrun game =)

I miss being around other gamers. Me and my crew used to have conversations like this all the time.
At one point, one of the other GM's would get together with some of the other players and go "Bowling for Magical Items" for his D+D game. Meaning, yes, bowling and the winner either gets a new magic item if he wins, or loses one if he lost. GM was apparently not a great bowler, since I never heard of anyone losing anything. Me and one of my buddies once had a conversation that lasted about 45 minutes about the different types of low-light vision and infravision and how they would appear to someone using them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif) And are RPG's taking over your life when you mutter Sperethiel curse words about your coworkers under your breath? I've almost used "Makkanagee morkhan" to death. You gotta know my coworkers, trust me it fits. And if I'm not muttering Sperethiel, it's a little Klingon, or Clanspeak(Battletech) or Chinese(Firefly). Dong ma? Or maybe I'm just nuts. That theory has been put forward more than once. By more than one person. |
