I'm going to start a collection so we can pay Tom to write more of these.

We gamers need some kind of secret symbol by which we can know one another. Maybe fuzzy polyhedral dice hanging from our rearview mirrors?

Man, that's a good idea. I should sell those at Gen Con this year. I bet I'd clean up.

Test it on women. If it's a symbol by which gamers can identify each other AND become a great centerpiece of conversation with women, you'd not only clean up, you'd take the house with you.

We can just do the awkward hetero affection combo! :)

Nice work Tom!

Excellent. I haven't enjoyed anything I've read online that much since...Well, probably the last Shoot Club.

Somebody gets a collection set up to pay Tom for Shoot Club, pencil me in for a donation.

Nice one,Tom.And I'd be willing to pony up a bit if it would mean incentive for more of these.I think it's the sort of thing you(Tom,that is) do best.

Dude, I've totally already made them. I made some D20s for the car, and some with catnip in for cat toys. Right now I'm using felt more often than fur, since it's a bitch to sew all the tiny numbers on fur (they don't lay flat). I'm thinking of making some as big throw pillows, too, for geek Christmas presents.

Fuzzy D&D dice are also featured in Schadenfreude Interactive's Need For Speed: Underhill logo.

Well you can do that... WHILE holding fuzzy dice. Now that just raises more questions!

Hey Mike, you're already slapping the spacebar between every word, is it too much for you to smash it between punctuation marks as well? General rule of thumb is that it is always done unless the punctuation mark comes in the middle of a word, like a apostrophe or a hyphen.

Thanks for the tip,Dr. (space) Crypt.While we're being pedantic,'apostrophe' should be preceded by 'an',rather than 'a'.Don't people have better things to do than call attention to grammar and syntax errors in message board posts?

Don't people have better defenses than to act like a forum post takes more than 2 seconds?

It isn't "pedantic", Mike - in every Western language, you insert a space between punctuation marks, end of story. It's done to make a sentence easier to read. Ignoring that fact is as gramatically incorrect as using question marks for periods. This isn't something relatively complicated like using a comma instead of a semi-colon or something: this is Punctuation 101 we're talking about here. Every time I read one of your posts, I'm struggling with the immediate impression that you're a total illiterate or, worse yet, don't respect your points or observations enough to actually make them easy to read for those of us who aren't living in Grammatical Flatland. Seriously - I like your posts. Why would you type them this way? It isn't like slamming a spacebar maybe five or ten times more during every post is really going to choke up some huge swathe of time during a lifetime of posting that might ultimately be better spent bagging super models or creating a slam dancing super potato or something. Ultimately, you're only doing yourself a disservice by adhering to some bizarro, self-imposed protocol that doesn't really make writing something any easierfor yourself while making it at least twice as difficult for a reader to parse and ten times as likely for any reader to just dismiss you out of hand. It's hard to take someone seriously who follows the same punctuation protocol of a special ed first grader, no matter how interesting their thoughts.
