That, Sir, is awesome. I look forward to see what the future holds in this competition.

Wait, I was dropped on my head as a child. I'd hate to think that I was destined to act like a dick at any public encounters I may have in the future. . .

I stopped reading comics around the time of the 2099 series. They totally screwed up all of my favorite titles with these weird alternate realities. Magneto ripping out Wolverine's admantine? WTF? Also, besides all the alternates ruining my base, my buddy's comic shop went under, so I lost my easy base to pick them up. But I used to read X-Men religiously. I got into it just after Mutant Massacre, when Rogue and Dazzler were fighting over Longshot, and they were taking trips into Mojoverse, and Storm HAD NO POWERS!! and she kicked ass more so then, with a mohawk and no powers, than she ever has with powers. My last comic purchase was one of the D&D comics actually. Recently, I tend to read gaming books when I want something to read. I carry my D&D books in a backpack to work with me, and when it is slow, I flip through them, while listening to the Podcast adventures of Acquisitions Inc., and yelling at the math errors, forgotten bonuses, Everyone suffering because Jerry kept forgetting to add his Healer's Lore bonus to his heals. heh heh heh. I'd be tempted to get back into Comics, but the prices. Have to be a dictator of a small country in order to afford a comic habit these days.

Glad you are posting this. I have a friend who's husband has suffered from this, and they just found out that their daughter also has it. We need to get awareness for these "unknowns" out there. My wife suffers from something else that is also not very well known, Corn Allergy, although they call it an "intolerance". Some are so bad that they cannot touch plastic grocery bags (because they use corn starch on the plastic). The wife just can't ingest it, or else she gets heart palpatations and the like On the downside, the FDA doesn't require packaging to say it contains corn, like they do with wheat, soy, milk, and nuts.

Sometimes, just letting things flow naturally is a big help. I have also been listening to the podcasts, and enjoying them. However, Since you brought up the podcasts, and I was listening to them all again today at work. . did anyone else notice that Aeofel should have had another turn before he died? He was bloodied at 23, took 19 falling into the acid (4). Took 12 the next turn from the acid (-8). Then took 11 (-19), at which point, it was stated the bloodied value was 13, and he was dead.. when Bloodied was 23... 4 more negative HP to go! LOL Yes, a couple years late, but I did come across them late myself

I suggest a good game of BANG! No, really, look it up. Western Style card game, different guns determine your range. The range of a target is how far away from you they are sitting at the table.
