It depends. Are we talking 1st edition, 2nd edition, 3.5 or 4th edition?

I dunno what you speak, but I will do the best I can.

Translation for you: G20? Like, OMG isn't that what Obama uses like a little black dress for all that economic bad stuff'n'shiat?

/Don't hurt me.

A Glock 20 is a 10mm striker fired semiautomatic pistol. It is a powerful pistol that holds more than 10 rounds, so Obama wants to ban it.

Infinity makes a G20 Sedan, I thought Obama rolled in something nicer these days.

Oh, I doubt that.

Gad. Anything after 2nd ed is just awful. Besides, apart from a few odds tables, most of us have modified just about everything to suit our own style of world and gameplay.

/and Obama uses a +5 Ring of Protection from Capitalism. Everyone knows that.

Back in the day it was a D20. G20 must be some sort of iPhone app.

I think subby means a D20. I have no idea what a G20 would be. A 20-sided Gie?

I'm glad I wasn't alone in that being the first thing to come to mind.

Those came out for the 4.5 edition.

I can see the fight were Merkel doesn't want to play the cleric anymore, Brown keeps questioning the GM, and Putin takes more than his share of the pizza.

dahmers love zombie: Gad. Anything after 2nd ed is just awful.

I liked the 3.5 rules. they were easy to customize and the idea of templates made critter creation easier.

4th edition dumbed down the game by a considerable margin. not specifically a problem, if you want a simple game that artifically limited player actions then that's fine. What offended me most about 4th edition wasn't the built in limitations so much as they changes to long established story lines in the core product game worlds. story continuity went right out the window all on a corporate whim.

It's a trick! The only way out of the maze is to stab the elf banker in the back and leave his body to the debt ogre!

Eh, I disagree with you. A bajillion different types of saving throws and especially THAC0 was annoying; I'd much rather deal with BAB and will/fort/reflex saves.

If the United States and the Economic Armageddon were two teams in a Football game, and Obama is the quarter back, it would be like trying to do a River City Relay on the forth down at the 50 yard line, that's the Economic Stimulus package. The G-20 is the John Carney's extra point.

Is the save against economic armageddon a Will, Reflex or Fort save?

Bush had an excellent Reflex save -- did you see him dodge that shoe? Obama has the magic touch, so I'm hoping that means his Will save is outstanding.. and, if he makes his save, individual americans get +10 synergy bonus to all saving throws against losing their job, right?

 
Ctrl-Alt-Del 2009-03-28 07:18:05 PM  
HAHAHAHA

Didn't RTFA or RTFT, just stopped in to give +1 to subby.

Excellent geek headline

Biological Ali: Well the Republicans did have an attack of opportunity after Obama unveiled his budget, too bad they rolled a natural 1:

That 19 page pamphlet the republicans are shopping as an alternative are outstanding, if the media really were liberal, it would be delightfully dissecting one of the most ridiculous budgets ever released.

Instead, this past week seemed to be devoted to Twitter and over use of the Teleprompter.

Republicans aren't very good at being a minority governing party either, as their ideas haven't changed any, but they are still pushing for them.

Not to mention the fact that they've used the filibuster more than 112 times already, might be time for the nuclear option.

Actually it is short form for $20 gazillion dollars. Which is what we will owe China when my kids are grown. If we make it that long. What a freaking joke that bunch is right now.
