What are your thoughts on hand soap

I love the foamy stuff, but there's no substitute for this stuff right here.

Tell me your porn star name

Captain Ahab.

Partly because of the pegleg, and partly because I usually feature in films about 'harpooning' a 'white whale.'

No worries. Also I'm only giving bad advice, because reasons.

invite sent. Forgot to mention -- a working knowledge of the Netflix show "Bojack Horseman" will help with some of the in-jokes.

If so, come join my league. Bonus points if you post obnoxious trash talk at every opportunity. My brother wants me to recruit more people, so I figured, who loves the NFL more than RPG? No one, that's who!

there, now I can pretend I tried. Draft is in two hours.

Habits/Tropes You Utilize

It's not so much a 'trope,' but my writing style tends to naturally mimic whatever (good) author I happen to have read most recently. So I bounce around between wannabe-Tolstoy, wannabe-McCarthy, wannabe-Dick, etc. It's always a trip when I look at my old stuff -- I can always tell what book I was reading at the time.

BUT TROPES THOUGH

I have to constantly fight the five-man band trope, especially when roleplaying. Also Conservation of Ninjutsu, but then again, pretty much everyone conserves ninja.

I tried to submit a pair of opposing tropes a while back, because they really should be tropes -- "Take the money and run" versus "Leave the money and walk." You know that scene, because it's all over the place -- the hero and/or badass just leaves the money on the table and walks out of the room, and later the bad-guy-slash-coward furiously tries to scoop it all into their pockets while fleeing after his or her defeat.

Is Greek Mythology overused?

Greek mythology is so ingrained in our collective psyche that using anything else is like swimming against a current. If you're a strong swimmer, go for it, get places! But you could always go farther if you just follow the flow.

ARE Black Cats Bad Luck?

It's the same for dogs. Dark-colored animals apparently inspire the wrong feelings in rescue/shelter situations -- possibly has something to do with lighting, or just basic human instincts that dark animals = scary.

When I was getting my second dog, I went to the shelter specifically intending to get a black dog, sorta because of those statistics. Wound up with this fella instead -- just kinda happened.

RPGC#4 -- Voting and Discussion

Quick check to gauge one of our changes -- everyone noticed that we changed the voting this month, and told everyone to pick their favorite lie, as opposed to their favorite entry overall. How'd we feel about that?
