    Might give good PR for the guild and improved exposure!

    Thoughts?

    Sounds like a plan...

    I fear plans...

    But we must face our fears...

    Therefore I say we do it...

    Whenever I teach a class on stained glass I always tell the people that learning how to do it is one thing but that they will learn even more when they try to explain it to someone else. So I would say let's try it out on our own pumpkins first and see what we can teach them. If they like it then we could go from there.

    This sounds like lots of fun.

    I know my youngest son (5 years old) is ALWAYS drawing maps, but they don;t look like any map you or I might recognize

    That map rocks! Your son should be proud of himself. It sounds like you have a budding cartographer/gamer in the making.

    Very cool map. Has all the basics and a special charm!

    Thats a very big Kobold! It must be very very dangerous. I like the gold pile too.


    Looks great! Lets see another.

    How about one with 3 rooms?

    Maybe a Dragon or a Bugbear?

    An excellent map indeed. I'm glad you posted it. It's certainly clearer than some sketches I get sent by (unnamed!) clients!

    And oh how I wish we could spend rep on Snickers bars.... Though that might give RobA and Ascension heart failure.

    I'd be spending all of my rep on tortellini and dancing girls

    Well that does raise the important question of the conversion rate between snickers and dancing girls... but then this is a family thread

    Ya, I new you could ask girls to dance but how do you get them to "tortellini"?

    Enjoy it while you can. I can't get my son interested in anything that doesn't involve his girlfriend, sports or World of Warcraft. If I could just get him to include academics in there, I would call it a win and move on, but creativity would be a big plus.
