Want to roll a 4th ed character in case we decide to play?

gamercowboy

Unless you wanna DM that is.

WTF? Would it kill you lazy buggers to get out of your cars and walk 30 metres to get your kids? You could park at your leisure, save the madness of scrambling for a park and, god-forbid, get some exercise. What the hell is wrong with these people? Real men just drive up to the door and turn on the...

I actually don't remember if I sent you a PM or not. Regardless, where have you been? You kinda left me hanging after your first post when I got so excited :p

I have something good to report! I was pacing along with a White Lamborghini Murcielago yesterday. Young guy. I expected him to step on it, weave in and out, pretend he was Schumacher. Instead, he drove along, behaving all the rules of the road. I actually felt bad for him since random idiots were ...

The UAE may be hugely successful but I personally think that some of the other gulf states are more forward thinking. Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait all seem to be taking more significant steps towards a real open society than the UAE. Sharjah is like a mini Saudi Arabia and UAQ seems to be following in...

gamercowboy

No worries. Btw, just out of curiosity, how old are you guys? Not that it matters either way

Here's a suggestion. Drive straight ahead, work your way over the lanes and take the next U turn. A bit more safe I would think. It would take me eternity to reach anywhere this way. By the time I finish clearing all the signals my date will be READY and waiting, and I lose the chance to nag about ...

gamercowboy

Woohoo! I'm the youngest! Erm. Maybe not such a good thing? Maybe I shouldn't DM

After reading the article, it doesn't seem like the law isn't actually going to be ratified, just that the Chamber of Commerce doesn't agree with it. I don't know who or what this organization represents but I get the impression that they look after business interests so I could understand why they ...

It's generally understood that cigarette companies market their products to children and otherwise underage people. Cigarette ads are not shown on TV, newspapers, nor on the radio here in Dubai but they are present in the cinema. They are also present for PG13 movies such as at the two latest movies...

Have you never heard the old news mantra, "If it bleeds, it leads"? This isn't anything to do with how things have changed, just that newspapers have caught on to the fact that bad news sells.

gamercowboy

But also the newspapers are also being allowed to print more negative news now which before would have been blue pencilled. It's a combination. I don't find this true one bit. Negative news has always been allowed on some level. As oppressive as the UAE government is when it comes to freedom of the...

gamercowboy

While it's true that ignorance is bliss, I don't personally subscribe to that line of thinking and so I insist on having access to a free press. I also don't see any need to make the UAE look good through deception, which is exactly what it would be if potentially damning information were to be with...

Hi Ayman. Welcome!

gamercowboy

thanks speedhumps... Again if someone (gamercowboy) would just gives me an example of UAE decepiting anyone in a matter that effected the society in any way! Ok, here's a relatively easy one that just about everyone has heard about by now: that guy who allegedly got tortured by a member of the Abu ...

This is genius!

gamercowboy

I'm sort of in the same boat. I just tell people the short story: I was born in the Philippines but I was raised here. After that, I let my actions do the talking and I would hope that their impression of me as a person is borne from that rather than specific prejudices.

gamercowboy

If you hold dual citizenship then say you are Indian/English. Alternatively, say English, but was born in India if you feel more English than Indian - which is likely if you lived the rest of your life in England as opposed to India. Now, What if you are born in NY, but lived in Toronto for 99% of ...

I think the Viper is on there since they're going to stop making them. Plus there aren't that many of them so it's a bit of a rarity.

gamercowboy

Hey there. We actually have a good number of people interested now. We really should organize a meetup. I think Khelben and Aussieclay are still out of the country. Let's see what happens this coming week.

gamercowboy

On a related astrological note, the ISS will be viewable in Dubai on Wednesday night around 9:45pm. It will be coming from the Northwest.

Forgot to mention that it's bright enough that you won't need a telescope.

Hi lazir. Welcome :) Aussie, I do believe we have 5 players at least. I think that can be stretched to 6 without much problem. I've DMed for as small as 4 and it was decent. June 20 isn't too bad considering we've waited this long anyway. If the books are an issue for you, I have pdfs and the core 4...

gamercowboy

That sounds perfect. A one-shot would be fairly simple and we'd be able to get a read on how everyone likes to play. Last weekend in June sound ok?

gamercowboy

Ok, are we agreed? Aussie, will you DM a game for late June? What day? Friday or Saturday? Time and location?

14K is a good salary for any mid-career single guy in Dubai Really? God damn, some of these expats are getting paid way too much then. I was on one of the lowest salaries at my (ex) company and I was earning almost three times that. Seriously? That comes up to over 130k USD per year. I think the on...

gamercowboy

That sounds awesome. I was actually wondering about finding a place to have this but you've gone ahead and solved that

Ok, we've waited this long... July 3/4 sounds good.
