Not in paper format. They went digital not long ago. One can subscribe via the WotC website www.wizards.com

And yes, I still play when I can.

Since I first replied to this thread I've joined the Chapter and Council. The biggest secret is there really isn't all that much of a secret. What we do is far less interesting that you'd think. But since joining I've met a great bunch of guys who will stand by me through thick and thin. The few tim...

Jim, I am actually referring to the "Necronomicon"... the book "written" by Abdul Alhazred. I read it... perhaps 15 years ago. It would seem that I should read it again. Of course I know the book is not real. Neither is Abdul. H.P didn't write it either. I'd skip it and go for t...

I love paper, notebooks, pens, all that stuff.

Too bad my handwriting is completely horrible and because of that I hardly ever write anything by hand.

But yes, I have all that stuff.

UFC was really brutal back then though. The only rules were something like "no gouging". It has gotten a lot more technical now, but the fact is, there's no such thing as "hybridized MMA". MMA is a hybrid style of fighting. MMA trains in all forms of combat (standing, ground, gr...

I liked UFC when it really was "you bring your style and I'll bring mine" not the hybrid style it's become lately.

Find either a local comic shop or a bookstore that sells Overstreet's Comic Price Guide and get an idea for what those issues go for. You can also take them to a local shop and get a general idea for what they'll go for. If there's a comic show nearby you can check there as well. Don't expect to get...

Well, Johnny, now we be gettin somewhere! If it is an antique you want, and you don't want to tear yourself up, hunt around for a newer injector. They shave like a disposable... However, if you just want to see what the single blade shave might do for your skin, a pack of cheap single edge disposab...

Hmm, ok so there's no magic to it. I've been wet shaving with the standard Gillette Mach 3 almost since the beginning, but I'm curious about the DE experience. From reading about DE shaving there seems to be a learning curve not present with modern razors and I don't want my face looking like hambur...

The title says it all, I've seen many posts recommending a Merkur HD as a good one for those new to DE shaving as well as a few others, but what is it about those that make them better choices for the beginner?

Nothing against folks like Mama Bear and all, but recently I've found I rather like that medicine-like smell of Tabac shave soap stuff and was wondering if there were other soaps out there that have a similar type of scent. Not exactaly the same of course, if I wanted that I'd use more of the same, ...

Actually the figures aren't cherry. They're out of the original packaging, that lowers the value.

Who's the geek?

I'm really surprised how many forums I'm on that have mentioned this.

I guess we geeks are more wide spread than I once thought.

I still wear my +1 mantle of sorrow.

Just bought a Browning Pro-9. Nice lil 9mm pistol.

One day I'll learn how to shoot it properly...

I've got a couple of his doodads, a Keyton and a Prybaby. The Keyton sits in the visor organizer in my truck, forgotten. The Prybaby is in my pocket but I don't remember the last time I used it. Nice, well made stuff, but there are cheaper tools that do more-or-less the same thing. A good SAK will d...

Look for gun ranges and/or NRA certified instructors in your area. That's a good start. There's a lot of talk (online, in magazines, all over the place) about stopping power, this, that and the other thing that makes this caliber better than that, etc. What it comes down to is finding a gun that is ...

Anybody who writes like that and has Cthluhu as his avatar is cool in my book.

I'm more of a G&T with lime person. I'm still new to it all but I think I like more tonic than lime. Not a big fan of the hard liquor it seems.

Yet anyway...

It is much worse on other forums I have been to, including Ask Andy About Clothing. Sam Man you're not kidding, I went there once or twice out of curiosity and was blown away by the pretension there. "I'm better than you because my tie costs $1500 and I've never worn the same pair of socks twi...
