SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I bought a pair of brogues recently.

But I called them bthieves.

And then I thought "I don't need these."

I bought some dice
Of banded alabaster
A fitting appointment
For an old-school gamemaster.

I had some dice
They gave me fits
I dumped the dice
And got some chits.

I got sick, and people said "you look terrible". I said "No I don't. I look great. Anyway, you look like an anime character."

I was reading Moldvay/Cook, Basic and Expert.
I browsed the Monster Manual, more than an excerpt.
The pages must be coated with a powder of Black Lotus.
Now when I sleep, my dreams are drawn by Erol Otus.

I keep a 10 ft pole close to hand at all times.  Also, the coins in my wallet weigh 35 lbs.

PHB open
Dice fall, and numbers spell death
I cry, "No, Blackleaf...!"

I made friends with basketballer Szymon Szewczyk. He's only 6 foot 10, but it was the best I could do.

I have an old pickup
The plates say it's collected
It doesn't run well
On gas that's unleaded.

I tried the 4th, I tried the 3rd,
Advanced and White Box--what a turd!

BECMI--barely muddled through
Chainmail simply wouldn't do.

Braunstein demos bored to tears
And so I found past all these years

Looking up at gaming's stars
There, brightest shown Wells' Little Wars.

(optional stanzas below)

But even that work had to fade
So Zach then found a new crusade

So I built a time machine, to scratch an old-school itch
Before Gary, before Erol, before the Blackmoor switch.

I hope that the reader will not be found too sore
To find out I'm now gaming in the Franco-Prussian War.

I still use a dXX.

Someone asked me where I lived. I said "0420".
