Re: What other hobbies do you guys have?

@Tiger: cool! Yeah that jogged the mem now that you mentioned it. actually before Bebop there was a bar back in undergrad I'd go to to shoot pool and get my drink on, and this cool older man who was a regular and a good conversationalist always had something interesting to converse about. He'd call ...

Re: newcommer

Hi Brightmantle, thanks for the nod. North Cali, sounds like a fun time. Well it's something to be said for giving it a go (5E). I'll have to do a preliminary scouting of it, see what the deal is. I'll check out Into the Abyss . Speaking of Abyss, little ad&d trivia time here, do any of you guys...

part of a book/story I'm working on

Just a very rough, raw draft I'm working on. Nothing at all polished just as fun/entertainment. Let me know your thoughts! :) Prologue In his shadowy sanctuary, Dezloz stood still as a statue resting a chin on his metal clad fist.
