Hmm . . . rap-heavy metal . . . sounds like a multi-folded blade. (Sorry, just been doing research on the evolution of weapons. Interesting stuff, really.)

I'd have to say that 250 beats me as well . . . I'm a skinny geek. Well, actually, I'm not rail thin, but I look like it sometimes. Being taller than average makes skinniness more noticable.

Lifting is a good way to blow off steam. I have to try not to punch everyone who actually just reaches out and nabs a female. I see it alot, so I lift and blow off steam instead of busting their nose heh.

I'm a regular weight-lifter too, actually. Lifting all the books I have to bring in my backpack to my classes . . . .

Why do they have to make every textbook in hardback?

This is scary. I just weighed my backpack after coming home from a D&D session, and it weighed 32 pounds.

Arivia, for carrying AD&D weights on your back you have been given 1 Str. increase.

I have this habit of checking too many sourcebooks just to make sure I'm not interfering with anything canon,...and besides, supplements have some good "crunch" in them.

The thorough DM I guess. Speaking of crunch though I wonder if I slipped those Zhents a Mister Goodbar,if it would change their Alignment.Can you do that?

Thanks,I am glad you have a sense of humor too or you would give more than an occasional sigh at my stupidity.

Indeed. That's a lot for a 14 year old -- moneywise, I mean. How'd you afford all that?

An adult who spends way too much time on D&D-3 GB of stuff on my hard drive, a total of something like 25 physical books, thirty issues of Dragon & Dungeon, another 15 GB of actual D&D programs, and 39 pads of graph paper...

Whoa! Where'd you get that much? I know DMs need more than a player would, but most of my stuff is computerized -- and it's only about 2GB, I think. Probably less. Unless your stuff is in a horrid compression, you must be forever writing out stuff and trolling the Internet for new files.

39 pads of graph paper-bulk purchase at bargain prices last Christmas.
Yes, you should be surprised at that, Bookwyrm, and so am I. I screwed up on those numbers. Here are the revised, accurate statistics:
25 physical rulebooks
2 GB digital rulebooks
10 GB D&D programs(includes games like BG, NWN and the like)
550 KB D&D notes
12 issues of Dungeon
14 issues of Dragon
Hopefully that's less scary...
