Hello, I'm new to this forum and just wanted to present myself. I have been gaming (especially pen and paper D&D) for years and years. I'm looking to chat with fellow gamers and converse with common intellectuals.


More about me. Yes its a myspace. www.myspace.com/thepaper321

Why thank you! I appreciate that. I actually have a question for those D&D people.

I am in the process of creating a Sharakim bard and I wish to perhaps devise a weapon that involves using cloth as a sort of defensive/perrying device. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? I can't seem to find anything.

I've never played D&D so can't help you but have you tried asking in the D&D section? I don't know how much traffic it gets but someone may read it and be able to help :)

Such a specific question is likely better posted in the Pen n' Paper section or the D&D section.


Edit: ahhh mr_sir beat me to it.

Hi, welcome to the forums, PostModernBeat. :) As for D&D, I never touched it before so I can't be of much help here. :(

Hello and welcome. :D I'd love to help you, but umm, dunno what the "Shakarim" thing is, never heard of it before. :confused: I did send you a PM though, that may give you some help. ;)

Well, you can't get more common than our intellectuals. There's a mud-wrestling match this afternoon at 4 between Bertrand Russell and CE, while tomorrow morning I'll be teaching Advanced Basketweaving for Dadaists 101. In any case, welcome! :)

You rang?

Welcome to the board, PostmodernBeat. I am not much of a gamer nowadays, but I qualify as a common intellectual.

Russell is a hard guy, also in mud...I don't think I can beat him in mathematical logicism, nor in phlegm-singing, so I am considering a bikini-contest.

Welcome. I'm a gamer. I'm not so confident as to point myself out as a common intellectual, though.

Ah, well, much thanks for the welcome. After I had posted I realized I should have presented my question in a different section.

What is this about bikini/mud wrestling contest? I'm sure we will all win in our own projection of pixelated goodness.

Couple of warnings are in order:

First, do not, under any circumstances, feed the Weasel. He is lonely, and will cling.

Second, Drinking is your friend. Embrace, and it shall embrace you. Possibly in the form of Guiness of some spam related incident.

Third, stay in line, and you will not be fish slapped.

Lastly, come see me about your personal toga. I do all measurements by hand, and gaurentee satisfaction... Just do not sue, and we will be fine.

Welcome to the ward, and please enjoy whatever is left of your sanity.

No way I'm entering a bikinin/mud wrestling contest...... I've not tanned all summer. I'm a geek dangnabit, the sun is my enemy.

Mostly only because it'll help you forget what happens here.

Welcome, PMB, to the bizarreness that is SYM. Bikini-wearing fish who mudwrestle basket-weavers...just a sampling of things found here in the past, and things certainly yet to come.

Check in is 11:00 AM GMT sharp. Bring a pencil and some Pepto-Bismol. State your straightjacket size at the door on your way in. Don't forget to feed the bunnies. :)
