Probably.

That answer isn't good enough!

I've been reading Dungeons & Dragons for Dummies. Yes, this book actually exists. Yes, thankfully it's for the 3.5 version of D&D.

Why am I reading it? I have never played D&D before and a friend heard that and decided to drag me to his gaming group, which comprises of anywhere between 4-6 overweight nerds playing D&D all night long and proving why D&D geeks are considered the bottom of the barrel, just above furries.

Since they just stuck me in the game and I'm confused half the time on what to do, I picked up this book from the library so I can learn how to properly play D&D.

Dude, I bought both of those and the sketch files and it turns out Dork Horse is releasing them in a collection with the third one: Red Soul. Goddamn double dip! Screw that.

The Sketch Files? I needs that! How much did you pay for it.

B E C K · « **Reply #348 on:** Sep 15, 2010, 07:24:13 PM »

I was gonna say I didn't remember but it turns out I left the packing slip or whatever in the book. I bought it on April 16, 2006 for $9.97 at Amazon.

Looks like the Dark Horse hard cover has smaller artwork and doesn't include the sketch files. That's kind of balls.

Interview with the Vampire. But I'm almost done with it.

My mom is reading The Girl with Dragon Tattoo and she said she'd let me borrow it after she was done, but since I finish like 4 books for everyone 1 she reads I doubt it'll be my next book.

I've been meaning to read that.

Getting back to Blacksad, the fourth one's floating about. I read it online and I have to say it's the weakest one. I think the best is #2, #1, #3, and then this one. Art's still pretty fly though.

China Mieville's Kraken. Good so far, about halfway through it. Imaginative and light but not boring by any sense of the word. It would make a good movie/show/miniseries I think.

I was reading the Name of the Wind, but I got sidetracked.

By vidjamuhgames! Yeeeeeehaaaw!

I've been contemplating "The Girl" trilogy, since the entertainment media has decided IT'S IMPORTANT AND WE MUST ALL CONSUME IT IN EVERY SHAPE AND FORM, but I'll probably just wait for the Hollywood version to hit basic cable.

Nah, I don't really care about it.

That Blacksad jive youse guys mentioned looks pretty amazing, gotta check that out.

Is that real? Did they actually make those?

Nah, it was a custom job by some chick. For all I know that's the only one that ever existed.
