After Nirvana comes Transformers, where everyone gets to be an awesome 70s muscle car that turns into a flying robot with lasers, and there’s a special cockpit (heh heh) just for Megan Fox. “Zobbie” is younger than Freya, though it’s probably not all that much younger.

Is she the older or younger of the two? Too easy to forget, we were all that player once. Wait till she gets the party killed by running for the big trapped chest in the middle of the room. On the other hand it'll just make the DM like her more. There's definitely a gamer lingo that has to be learned and people who don't speak it look weird by comparison. Anonymous Coward who obviously knows a lot about cops: you make some good points. I'm curious, are you saying the guy was afraid of all the people who would be out to get him because he couldn't call for backup, and flipped out on the bartender as a side effect? Or was afraid to go outside that late at night (let him sleep in the bar)? I just always kinda figured if I dialed 911 and said I was a retired cop, they'd probably take me pretty seriously. Kev, you know a lot of interesting stuff about Buddhism and you make it sound funny. Care to sum up what comes after Nirvana in a nutshell? LOLZ I think Freya’s sis is awesome.

It's a philosophy :roll: . Or so they say, since it sells better that way. Problem is, I've never know any philosophy where you where supposed to shave your head and wander around in a red bedrobe... Great questions anyway, kevin. I have nothing special against buddhism per se, but get very unnerved to see how they are seen as parangon of wisdom, virtue and philosophy.

They do go pretty widely too, some I'm pretty sure if you took out the names and just looked at the concepts and such you'd have trouble associating them.

Not just the stance of a young girl in her puberty, but also the facial lines. Eh... I had hoped the sister would be a good player, but I agree, she seems to be one of those people who don't quite get the hang of what roleplaying is <i>about</i>. I mean, talking to the GM and starting every sentence with "Pretend that I do this, do that...." Arg. That's way worse than talking about your own character in third person (which is totally permissible if you're quickly summing up what your character is doing in those scenes where playing out every fine detail isn't important).

Still kinda do. But I'd make a terrible cop. For one I'd shoot too many people and for two I'd want to get into Internal Affairs so I could bust dirty cops and put the squeeze on ass-sacks like that guy in Chicago. As for the lama thing, I think it's funny that Osel decided to take off and go do his own thing. That's what you get for kidnapping the poor kid and forcing him to be your monkey. Spiritual monkey or otherwise. And I always figured we weren't the only species to have homosexuals. That just didn't make sense. Plus, if a monkey jerks off then why would they not screw for pleasure? Even other monkeys of the same sex? And yes, monkeys (or chimps, whatever) jerk it all the time. Just like humans. I don't know what to think about Freya's sister. I don't like her style of play, though I've played with plenty of people who respond to my GMing that way. "I tell the guy where the thing is," or what have you. Sigh. Nobody's ever gone so far as to say pretend though. Ugh. I always wanted to be a cop when I was a kid. Still kinda do.

But there are a lot of them, and some of them look far more different than Baptists and Wahhabis. Yeah, for the sake of “brevity,” I didn’t go into all the different stripes of Buddhism.

Just wanted to point out that there are many very varied Buddhist doctrines (or sect/groups/whatever). The concepts of boddhisatvas, gods, and demons aren't a universal concept in the religion, if I recall correctly. (I love these sorts of conversations, thus enjoyed reading through most of the comments when plowing through the archive.) Hello, first time posting here, and love the comic.
