Welcome to 2003.

Submitter always rolls XX

Braggart.

Where do you think WoTC got the idea for 4th edition?

This should be a [FOLLOWUP]. A followup to my fifth greenlight. From 2003, as noted.

Sweet :)

People called Romanae, they go the house?

I'd get that and just say every time I rolled it "Oh, that means 20."

ZAZ: This should be a [FOLLOWUP]. A followup to my fifth greenlight. From 2003, as noted.

Not even a follow-up. It's the exact same link.

It's a different URL. Same item number. I submitted before the auction so we didn't know the sale price at the time.

Natural XX kills Jesus.

CRIT~!

fark YEAH!

$17,925. What's that in solidae??

Looks like the thing that floats inside the magic 8-ball.

OlafTheBent: People called Romanae, they go the house?

"Romanes eunt domus"

Finally, proof that nerds existed in Ancient Rome!

I love that scene so freaking much.

It never fails to amaze me how some of those things have managed to survive.

FrostyOne: "Romanes eunt domus"

Pueri sunt in silva.

Each symbol on the die corresponded to a square on a playing board (usually maid in mosaic out of tiles) and there were wagers and bets placed on the square with the symbol the player thought would come up on the die. The bets were mostly made in coins, but sometimes in salt or in rare instances personal heirlooms belonging to a gens (family).

So, I guess not all Romans were getting laid.

Pueri sunt in silva.

The boys are in the forest?

lenfromak: Looks like the thing that floats inside the magic 8-ball.

Signs point to yes.

Alea iacta est

I always wondered what Caesars saving throw vs the Rubicon was

Portugal. The Man: The boys are in the forest?

One of the things I remember from my first Latin lessons.

"Agricola est in campo."

Don't do much tabletop gaming anymore, but that is pretty freakin' cool.

/wow nerd now
//used to loves me some Shadowrun

Pribar: tonkin:

Et tu, Pribar?

The Romans failed their saving throw vs. Napoleon.

astoreth: I love that scene so freaking much.

"If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off."

/Me too

There are no words for how cool this is, how happy it makes me, and no way of knowing on how many levels. Suffice it to say it's as awesome as this:

So, what would Ceasar think of D&D 4th ed? And, how did they handle criticals?

that sandwich cartoon makes me think...... they should have a diet for compulsive gamblers. and base it off dice rolls.
\ i dont gamble and im not fat and that sounds cool!

Carcer Vinco: Est obtutus!

/ignotus? (new window)

DavisTasar: Natural XX kills Jesus.

Not if He makes his saving throw, and he is like +10 on saving throws against edged weapons. Dude will be living with like 1HP forever.

Plus he gets his Dad to cast resurrection even if you kill Him. Trust me, don't fark with the Jesus.

uh...

ignotus? (new window)

Yeah but they were LARPing. With slaves.

DAMN! Outbid... oh well.



/Loved 1st Ed DMG

Early Craps?

Danger Avoid Death: $17,925. What's that in solidae??

About 2500 denarii, or one blonde slave girl, if she can cook.

Danger Avoid Death: $17,925. What's that in solidae??

These days about 16-20 I would think (a lot less for something really nice), but the question doesn't really make sense since the Solidae were introduced in the 4th century.

/Roman coin nerd

Always rolls a XX? I always roll a I, but my character would still kick the subby's characters. Who needs an attack roll with Magic Missile!

So this is not a bookmark for later tonight so I can look at that picture again.

Damned looters.

/It belongs in a museum!

17k sounds pretty cheap for such a rare and interesting find.

Pontivs Pilate must have been sitting up late one Thursday night...

"Hmmm, what to do abovt this Iesvs fellow... the crowd really wants to see a crvcifixion; on the other hand, the whole walking on water and raising the dead thing kinda weirds me ovt.

OK, natvral 20, Iesvs dies. Otherwise, it's orgy time.

/casts the die.
//and the rest is history.
///thanks a lot, P.P.

If I had 18k I would buy it.

And play D&D with it.

That is so awesome.
