Oh, Baby B is being a nerd again.

I'm just curious if any of my D&D playing friends would be interested in a Play-By-Post game. I think I've got one Curt Crane, Justin McNeil, and maybe possibly Shawn Kehoe in on it, but I'm looking for 5-6. It shouldn't be a problem at all to find extras via the Giant in the Playground message boards, and we wouldn't start until around the middle of July.

The basic requirements to play are:

1) General knowledge of the D&D 3.5 system. You can go to http://www.d20srd.org/ for the basics; if you've played any d20 system you should be fine.

2) You've got to post on a message board at least once a day. That's pretty low commitment. Games tend to move slowly because of this, but as long as everyone is contributing it doesn't seem so bad.

I'll post all the specific rules and such later.

I don't know if you've heard of Rock Band, but you can consider it the game that has the best chance of dethroning Guitar Hero, what with it's four player internet band madness.

Well, they've started taking requests, so you can write in YOUR four songs to be considered for Rock Band. Of course, your songs don't stand a chance of making it into the game, because if you're like me you pick bands that either don't exist or aren't Nickleback.

The entry form is here, my four picks were:

1. "North Dakota" by Thrush Hermit. I wanted something rockable at number one.
2. "Fell from a Cloud" by Tricky Woo. I wanted something rockable at number two.
3. "Oh, But She Did!" by The Meligrove Band. I felt giving these guys some small props was a good thing!
4. "Boys on the Floor" by The Stolen Minks. I felt I should maybe support a Halifax band, and I also cross out something for those ladies who wish to belt a tune out perhaps.

Worst case: This is an EASY blog post for ALL of you. Four songs. Come on.

About a million years ago, I wrote a FAQ for a game called Neverwinter Nights, and every few months I still get an e-mail from someone who is playing as a Monk (the focus of my FAQ). The other day, I received this:


I have a question about the monk on neverwinter nights. I always pick a
monk on all the rpgs that you can pick one, and currently I have a level
5 character that is a lv 4 monk and a lv 1 fighter I want to have him be
a few levels in fighter, ranger, and rouge but also have all 20 monk
skills level gains(i have neverwinter diamond). How many levels of
fighter rouge and ranger would you recomend that I use on him to make
him strong? Also Would I lose bonusis if I had my monk go one level in
sorcerer so I could summon a dragon henchmen.



Now, I just want to make something clear. I played this game 5 years ago. I played it through once, as a monk. It was also on a rule-set that has since changed, so I'm mentally confused when thinking about the game. Also, there were several patches, which invalidate some of my FAQ as well.

That, and I don't have a fuck what he's asking about,

I get the level 4 monk / 1 fighter. I don't know what Neverwinter Diamond is. I can take a guess on 'making him strong...' maybe he's talking about taking 4 levels of fighter for the Weapon Specialization (and better Base Attack Bonus). Adding more classes? Christ, did he not hear about the EXP penalties? Summoning Dragon Henchman? I don't have a clue what he's talking about.

Anyway yeah, I just wanted to say that spam isn't the stupidest thing I recieve.
