Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: SmarchRPG - OOC Thread_01

I'm fairly certain the Greek and Romans did not wear togas in the renaissance period. They were kinda an earlier period thing.

You go to a nudist Greek restaurant? Because, if Ceywren is correct (and she always is), all Greeks wear togas or they wear nothing!


Someday will find you.

And now we're into round three ladies and gentlemen, as you probably guessed from the scantly clad, decidedly buxom blonde moving around the ring with a fake smile holding a really large card that says 'round three' on it but that is beside the point.

Sorry not to have posted it, I meant to finish the char earlier, but then a chimney derailed me. (Ask Stuart if you don't understand the chimney bit.)

Re: SmarchRPG - OOC Thread_01

Aargl. I was so happy not to be ill anymore this weekend (not to mention catching up on laundry and study) that I forgot all about it. I still need to figure out my clothes. I'll try not to forget tonight.

Yalahii.

Re: SmarchRPG - OOC Thread_01

Ok then I'll plan on posting tomorrow night.

Hrm i just realized I have the smarch .pdf you put together awhile ago...I can scan that for the info I need for the story!

Whee!!

Not that i don't want to read the story again, just not so soon...I prefer to put a couple of years between readings of tad's books so they have time to digest properly...8)
