You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.

Join a barbershop quartet singing chorus, it will make you feel young in no time. I'd even wagre that everyone would you call you a kid, or child or young brat. Mind you that is because they are generally around 70 - 80 years of age :tongue:

(When people start complaining that they need "young blood" one doesn't expect that they are talking about 50 year olds.)

Happy birthday Gaming Gen!

Depending on the level of education where you live and how far people fall behind. Thus where I went to school it was kindergarten equivalent at age 6. I knew of schools with people graduating with the equivalence of only a 10th grade education....

But I would say TGD is probably beyond that and on the track to becoming smarter than a 5th grader. :razz:

Maybe it can win some money Thanksgiving to celebrate with.
Play the game, not the rules.

So, it's 6 years old now. Nifty.

Manly voices are not necessary. I sing tenor. In fact most of the lead is in upper headtones. My previous director used to bash us all the time with the expression "light fluffy bunnies." Many singing tends to make you sing flat.

I'm a regular, because when fbmf sees my posts it makes him want to shit.

That's weird, 8 years.
In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.

Relative newcomer here. Thanks to everybody for keeping the place alive this long; it's a fun place to hang out.

(Posted early because I'm back at work Monday after a week off and I imagine things will be a skosh hectic..)

On November 26, The Gaming Den will be nine years old.

I've said it before, but:

[*]Thanks to all the regulars, especially those who have been with us since the early days.

[*]Thanks to all the mods, former and current.

[*]Thanks to Zherog, who keeps the lights on for us.

I was thinking it would be cool to make a word cloud out of our forum's meat to commemorate the affair, but after 10 minutes of googling I haven't the foggiest notion how to do so in a non-titanically inefficient manner.

Bumped because to me it is a big deal and this was done hastily from my phone as I came back from vacation. It'll be the only bump (from me) until next year at this time. Swear.
