Turning my thoughts to V:TM from a public game conception standpoint, and here's a weird thought I ran into:

V:TM is wholly d10 based.

Most dice sets come with one, maybe two if you count percentiles. A d20 divided by two and rounded up might make for a third, but...

I dunno. It's a stupid problem to have, but when you're talking about running games for the masses who might not be familiar with V:TM, it's something to consider.

Today's joke, coming out of the question 'Do orcs just think Bilbo's sword always glows?'

"Gorthak, is your spyglass working?"
"It is, and I see the halfling! I recognize the sword, but-"
"But what?"
"But it's not glowing."
"Bullshit. The sword always glows."
"Not this time it doesn't."
"No, no, it can't be the halfling, then. The halfling's sword glows. We've established this. We know this. The sword glows, it's the halfling."
"Well, I'm telling you, the sword is not glowing."
"Listen, Throgar, I am not here for your bullshit today. If the sword is not glowing, it's a different halfling."
"And I'm telling you it is the halfling, and his sword is not glowing."
"Why wouldn't his sword be glowing, then, Throgar? Tell me that."
"I don't know. Maybe he turns it off. The glow keeps him up at night."
"Keeps him up at night? How would he stop it from glowing?"
"Maybe he turns it off."
"HOW WOULD HE TURN IT OFF!?"
"Elf magic."
"Elf. Magic. Throgar, do you even listen to yourself sometimes? Pfft. 'Turns it off.' Next thing you're going to tell me is that Bombadil asshole put on Sauron's ring, thought it was neat, and handed it back..."
