Hoshit I just found this site that would be awesome for story games. Take a gander at Hatch's Plot Bank. Also while I'm thinking about it The Mid-Manhattan Picture Collection is really great for inspiration, too.  What are some other awesome sites you guys have found?

There's also a huge kraken and the third from the bottom on the far right in the picture is a submarine.

They went on discount at my FLGS for like, 4 for $4, so I snatched up all I could at the time.  I used to play the fuck out of this game in the mornings with my friends before class started.  Plus, the tiny dice that come in each pack bring joy to my cold, black heart.

... anyone else?

Which we have the frightfully powerful Washington RPG Lobby to thank for, I'm sure.

I'm pretty sure I just got a little misty-eyed at the thought of that actually existing.

I wanted to rail on this guy for being such a dumbass, but then I remembered I was on the internet and started laughing downloaded more porn.

Baw, I should probably do this as well.

My name's Sean (one of the many here), I'm 19, and am going to be working at Walt Disney World in Florida (paid internship).

As for my gamer cred, I played DnD in high school, but stopped gaming for a while after graduating.  I found another group during my first year of college (played some DnD, Dust Devils, and the occasional pickup game of InSpectres), but our schedules don't line up anymore and my girlfriend and I are leaving for Florida in a week.  Oh boy.

Hopefully I can find something while I'm down there.

"NFL: the RPG" ... nah, that'd suck unless it was ridiculously over-the-top like Eyeshield 21 or something.

How about one based on Robotech that isn't balls?  No, seriously.

Not quite long enough, keep going.  How much of that have you played?

My paid to played would be quite low. Luckily I get my own entertain out of the books by spending my time reading them as if they where novels. I find books of basically random facts and rules to be interesting and that's what RPG manuals are.

I thoroughly agree.

Last weekend I met up with some old friends of mine for lunch.  We talked for a bit about the "good old days," what was going on with each of us now... you know, the usual bull.

I waited until the conversation met a lull, went deadpan, took out 4 d20's and said "ROLL FOR INITIATIVE."

I stayed completely straight-faced, waited for their laughing to die down a bit and said "NO REALLY, ROLL FOR INITIATIVE."

Everyone scrambled for a d20, and for the next couple of hours in the coffee shop we gleefully engaged in the most gonzo power fantasy of our own invention, including highlights like flying tanks, sexually abused dolphins, marmot-infested waters, Dirty Sanchez monsters, and much much more.

Has anyone else done something like this?

Size matters so very, very much. We're just measuring raw material ownership rather than skill. Of course, this doesn't really account for source books and the like. I mean, if I stack all of my RPGs books on top of each other, the stack is taller than I am. Likely 2/3 of that is source books rather than core.

Same here.  Oh man, I sunk so much money into DnD 3.5 books.  If I wasn't constantly fellating WotC in high school I probably could have bought a car .

Still, I'm wanting to know how much of everyone's investment into this hobby has been returned in entertainment value, like a paid-to-played ratio, or something like that.
