Played Costume Quest through with my daughter. We're working on Stacking now.

Also Bioshock Infinite. I found a Cthulhu doll on a shelf in a bedroom.

I am a nimrod. It is a Songbird doll.

I wish FTL space travel was possible and achievable in our lifetime

Granted. You get boarded, killed, and eaten by mantises.

I wish I'd started doing laundry earlier tonight.

"I can haz cheezeburger?"

Granted. Since I assume you are a cat, your cheeseburger gives you the mange.

I wish I'd remembered to buy more Sriracha at the grocery store.

I wish I had Polybius. XD

Granted. I don't want to know your plans for his remains.

I wish I had a good, feasible idea for dinner tonight.

I wish I had one of those fancy essay grading programs so that I didn't have to grade today.

Granted. An unresolved bug issues your students all grades of "J."

I wish blower motor resistors were easier to get at, for removal and installation.

I wish this mild pain in my shoulder would just go away.

Granted. The nerve endings in your shoulder no longer report any sensation. Your arm hangs, lifeless, at your side.



I wish I could go to GenCon.

I have always been fond of "take that" <insert interest group whom you had just offended>

Ross crits his warning shot deck gun roll. "Take THAT, ocean!"

I wish I could afford a new monitor.

Granted. You'll find a reproduction of an underpowered, top-heavy, U.S. ironclad in your garage. Well, in the spot your garage used to be.

I wish for more wishes!

Hey, funny story. My younger brother is listening to the old Nerdbound recordings of the Deathwatch games you and I ran to get ready for his own Deathwatch game at GenCon.

Tell him to ensure that any badass friendly NPC needs to have a good supply of one-liners.
Can he do voices? I still wish I could do voices.

Ross linked it once, I've seen it. I just can't remember who did it or where.

It's not always an Actual Play catchphrase.

Ross: "Buy my book...buy my book." From The Critic, I believe.

Tom says, "Oh, ME," in a super smarmy voice. I have no idea where that's from.

Ross and Tom will often say, "That's you, that is." I know it's from a British comedy sketch, but that's all I know.

Caleb, holding a telephone conversation between NPCs; the PCs can only hear half of it.
"Hello?...Yes, I did?..Well, it wasn't labelled...I'm sorry, I didn't know...I will buy you a new sandwich, all right?"

Pretty sure it was the Andrew's Fortune game, Ross and Tom's PCs were in that scene.

I don't really get to play anymore. I ran some Deathwatch games over Skype a while back, and played in a few other games of 4E, Rogue Trader, Monsters, and Hunter. It's been about two years, though.
I still devour RPG books, and I've written a bunch of scenarios, most recently one for Old School Hack to play with my kids, but I haven't had time to get them interested in it.

Probably the most ridiculous thing I wrote was a Mouse Guard game that revolved around a group of mouse cultists making sacrifices to Coddowalshagoth.

Although the actual words change, during investigative scenes Tom will often attempt to bribe the GM into revealing information.

Yes!

Although I have never met him in person, I've played in several Skype games with Tad. He is great!
