The $8,500 Gaming Table You Want
Recently I stumbled upon The Sultan Gaming Table. With a price tag of over $8K, it would have to be awesome: but it has little compartments for the players and DM as well as a drop-down playing surface. If you find the pricetag daunting then you are a sane person, and might instead want to look at the Emissary which starts at a "mere" $1,500 and has many of the same features. Honestly I just love the idea of having my minis on a playing surface underneath the dinner table. I ought to be allowed to expense one of these. I also wish they had more pictures and fewer renderings on the site.
The Sultan was recently featured in a PvP comic classic.

But.. But... That won't be Heirloom Quality!
Have you checked the prices of games lately? Won't be long until millionaires are the only people who can afford to game...

I give up on debugging. From now on, SIGSEGV is a feature.
Every morning you wake up breathing is an excuse to buy tools.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.

This is Slashdot. How many regulars do you anticipate ever having heirs? (Unless someone perfects budding or full-organism mitosis)

You've got three days to get to him with your Milwaukee 6523-21 Super Sawzall 13 Amp Reciprocating Saw with Rotating Handle before he rises. After that, 2000 years of world domination!!!
Gaming is not becoming more expensive If anything, it's cheaper.
They make the games affordable, but then where they get you is the furniture. Sneaky bastards.
"But this one goes to 11!"
Jesus is back, and he's here to eat your brains *and* swipe your power tools!
Surgery on yourself is entirely possible, even to the untrained amateur. There is nothing stopping me (well, maybe common sense) from grabbing a knife and cutting into my body. Now successful surgery on yourself on the other hand...

I'm not sure want spawn budding from my shoulder. Full-organism mitosis on the other hand has the side benefit of massive weight loss.
Damn you slashdot! Cut that crap out!

Wouldn't meteorite, steel or iron be affected by magnetic fields? Or is it assumed anyone this obsessive is honest to a fault?

Behold, these are my brains, which are given up for you. Whosoever shall eat of them shall not die but shall live forever.

John 6:51-58 (KJV)
51 "I am the reanimated bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will 'live' forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world." 52 The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?" 53 Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the brain of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 "Whoever eats My brain and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will reanimate him up at the last day. 55 "For My brain is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56 "He who eats My brain and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 "As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 "This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will be a zombie forever."
Yes, but he rolls ones FROM SPACE.
