What wrong with 16-sided dice? (For the record, it really ought to be a 20-sided die.)

nothing, just a dead bang giveaway of a geek.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Well d16 isn't used nearly as much as a d20... like, not even close....

Who do you think you are? Wil Wheaton?

 

[bernerbrau]

I'm not even sure what a hexadecahedron would look like. The standard roleplaying dice are d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20.

 

[Airborneguy]

I have 3 d30s and a d100 (looks like a golf ball) sitting in my dice bag.

This is getting waaaay too nerdy for me. I need to interject some babeage to balance it out.

Look at all those dice!

Where are the cheetos? Can I have a Mountain Dew?

I'm going to throw 2112 on the Hifi and turn on the black light.

 

[Dkmount721]

I have my eye on you HBT D&D people... I know you are here now. No seriously Whil Wheaton is a classy dude.

I suppose you could Google it....

Well played, sir.

I'm pretty sure I have a 16. I don't know that they come in the standard set. When the model and hobby shop closed a few years back, I picked up a few sets of cool-looking dice on discount. I keep threatening to finish the dungeon and walk the kids through it, but we never have time

How does "Fawkes Anarchy!" sound for a IIPA?

 

[gratus fermentatio]

I did the voice of Snarf.

So, uh, could you hook me up with Cheetarah?

 

[mcbethenstein]

Wil Wheaton is going to be on Big Bang Theory this Thursday! I can't wait!

 

[Brek81]

i found a D5, and actually built a martial arts character in hack master just to use it

 

[Reno_eNVy]

So my friends and I in middle school may have been the only people to ever play it, but has anybody played Rifts?

 

[j1laskey]

Every time I mention HBT or my wife sees me on it, she always asks, "how are your D&D friends"? I've never played D&D in my life. I do love me some Zelda though.....

 

[Homercidal]

I played in the pre release and thought it was way too much like WoW. Except not as much fun. To me it sounded like some WoW players got disenfranchised with the game so they decided to break off and make their own version.

I think the players will find that the same jerks who make WoW frustrating sometimes, will end up being jerks on RIFT as well.

Huh? Is there another franchise with a similar name?

Cuz I'm talking about Rifts, a table top RPG... with the dice and the character sheets. And I mentioned I played in middle school. War craft 2 had barely been invented then.

Oh, I thought you meant the MMORPG Rift!

Never heard of Rifts. I didn't catch the part about middle school. Maybe you are underage and just slipped up this one time??

Nvermind. carryon. :/

 

[Reno_eNVy]

HAHA Awesome.

And just for reference:

Heh I totally had (might still have) that book

 

[Homercidal]

Watched a little Wesley Crusher last night. Episode starred him and some other young hopefuls as they competed for a spot in the academy. Good stuff.

The one with the accident and whether it's his fault?

My favorite was when he was working with "The Traveler" and had like "special powers" to control the warp field with his mind. "The Traveler" told him he was "special" and was going to do great things ect... then they never followed up on it. Instead he just went to the Academy and was responsible for the death of a fellow classmate. Good job Wesley, way to waste a gift.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

My favorite is when they go down to the hedonistic planet where everyone is sexy and run everywhere for travel/social-interaction/etc. Wil Wheaton is playing some kind of game with the local youngins and ends up falling in this tiny patch of land that is for some reason forbidden and he is sentenced to death.

It's one of the better episodes that displays, in my opinion, Gene Roddenbery's true purpose for Star Trek: to examine and postulate the possible ethical and political implications interstellar travel can produce.

And speaking of which, a couple semesters ago I took the greatest general capstone course ever -- Star Trek: Laws and Ethics. It's an upper-division criminal justice course where we examined laws and ethics of futuristic civilizations and we compared Star Trek (TOS, TNG, and Voyager) with GATTACA and 1984. Really cool class.

 

[bob1852]

Yeah, didn't he go retrieve a ball from some sacred garden or something like that?

 

[olllllo]

I read about this on reddit a while back.

I'm not sure why you all are pretending to be Wil Wheaton-homebrewer.
Brew one batch and you are a homebrewer?

I was on tv one time.

Meet olllllo, star of the small screen, television personality and YouTube sensation in which Sam Caligone played a supporting role.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I just want to be the first to point out that you might have superfluous letters in your name, sir ;-)
