DND Tomorrow Night, please RSVP?

Y'all are cordially invited to the bi-weekly D&D Game Night at our place tomorrow night, Friday the 6th. It's all D&D4e, I have a full set of books, and you can use the handy-dandy Character Generator Beta on the Dungeons & Dragons website to generate a few first-level characters to choose from, or you can make one as soon as you get here.

TIME: Feel free to show-up any time between 5pm and 7pm for socializing and light-weight gaming- gaming will start at 7pm with or without you and continue till some time between 9 and 10 (although last week went till near 11:30ish).

EATS: There will be a large pot of Beef Stew available, as well as all the delicious Tap Water you can drink available for consumption. Other than that, you're on your own! We are but a stones-throw away from 24/7 shopping and restaurants, so feel free to bring whatever you like! Just be prepared to share :)

GAME: We'll start off with a scaled-down game of D&D Minis so that everybody can get nice and comfy with the new battle dynamics of Fourth Edition. LAst week we played a 200-point game with Dan that lasted 3 or 4 hours, so I'm thinking about 100 points. Don't worry; it'll make sense once you're here and playing. Then, with time permitting, we will have our introductions and first encounter in our ongoing adventure, "Solitary".

YOU SHOULD BRING: A character sheet, dice, D&D Minis, and and food/drink you'd like that isn't Beef Stew and/or Tap Water.

Please RSVP to this message if you plan on attending! Thanks!

Comics stuff

if i were a Comic Book Writer and/or Artist, I'd do as many conventions as possible and pay extra-special attention to the kids between 10 and 15 years old. Because for those kids *this* is The Golden Age of Comics. This is the time that they will look back on and say "Man, Comics are no where NEAR as good today as they were when I was 12!"

For me it's stuff like the original X-Factor (back when it was the original line-up of the X-Men pretending to be Mutant Hunters so they could find young mutants and help them), New Mutants ("They're gonna be the next X-Men!"), West Coast Avengers (Hawkeye leading a new team?) and the Man Of Steel Limited Series (OMG THEY JUST RE-DID SUPERMAN!!!)

For my older cousin (who got me in to comics in the first place) it was DC's "Dollar Comics".

For my younger cousin, it was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

And for most of the kids who came in to my shop back when I owned it? Their "Golden Age" was The Death Of Superman, the birth of Image Comics and all the sparkly holo-foil die-cut limited edition comics.

Comics will never... NEVER be as good as they were back then.
