Any hobbys other than modeling?

QUOTE: Originally posted by coldwar68 Woody, I have never played the Scarred Lands. Right now we are running Greyhawk and using 2nd edition with modifications to some 3d edition, the reason being that I have been collecting my rulebooks since the late 80s and early 90s. We have also done some Forgotten Realms and played very little in Ravenloft. Ravenloft tends to be hard on a party though and also takes a little enthusiasm away fromt the players when they keep dropping characters. Not enough balance in that world. Jerry

QUOTE: Originally posted by B. LeCren Jim: My middle son has gotten into a heavy metal band; just had their first gig in a local bar last weekend. Nothing against Metallica or Ozzy, but it would be nice if his horizons broadened a little. Also, he was blown away by my old Sabbath records from the '70s, he didn't realize a lot of today's musicians go back that far. Can you recommend a decent refrence he could read? Thanks in advance, Bruce Sorry I took so long, Bruce, but this is the first time I'm using the computer since Thursday (I use library computers). Right now, I'm reading a brand-new book called "The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal." It just came out a few weeks ago and I bought my copy over at a Barnes and Noble in Arizona. I forget who the author is (the book is in my car which is parked half a mile away), but it is a lavishly illustrated and fully detailed book about many of the acts that performed heavy metal, all the way from Deep Purple and Blue Cheer to Limp Bizkit and Slipknot. (Strangely enough, this book somehow left out Nirvana and one of my faves from the 70's, Foghat.) Another reference may be out of print by now but is worth searching for--"The Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal" by Martin Popoff (spelling?) The edition I own is a 1997 one and I don't know if the guy ever wrote a newer edition (I've not seen one), but it is a 500 page tome (with two columns of tiny type per page) full of Martin's reviews of virtually every heavy metal album ever made; he rates them on a scale of 0 to 10. He reviews albums from popular bands like Deep Purple, Metallica and Led Zeppelin all the way to completely obscure bands such as Picture, Quartz and Hawaii. (To all you Megadeth fans: Hawaii was Marty Friedman's first group!) These two books alone will keep your son busy for weeks! By the way, what does your son play? I used to play drums in a couple of heavy metal bands years ago when I lived in Hawaii.

I would be honored to have a bit of a "Fatal 4-Way" with you, my wife, and David, if you're both interested. It could turn out to be an interesting battle. Say, 3,000 each in Fantasy? demono69
