Cale Darksun Dare I ask what happened? I work at a video game store which is 99% of the time pretty rad..
But we just get some customers [specially 'round the holidays] that are simply unbearable. They come in thinking they know everything about video games and systems, when in fact they are completely ignorant about it.. confused
Anyways, aside from that, this woman comes in today wanting to buy some Xbox game, the name escapes my mind at the moment. So she buys it, leaves, and then comes back a few hours later saying that her son cant play it on his 360.
I tried to explain to her that some games aren't backwards compatible with the 360 yet, and that she could probably just download a patch from Microsoft's website and she'd be good to go...
But, low and behold, when I even hint that she may be possibly wrong, she slams the game down [breaking the box and damaging the CD] and demanded to speak to my manager.
John, said manager, comes out and tries to calm her down, but she wouldn't hear of it. She started yelling at us for Microsoft's dumb ideas saying that "none of this makes sense, you're trying to scam me out of my money"...
So she left, without paying for the damaged game....
And John and I laughed our asses off...

So, you worship the allmighty Corellon?
How is he portrayed in your D&D Games?

CG, protector and creator of the elves, lover of music and crafts..
Usually carries a long sword or a bow..
Mostly pictured as male, sometimes as a female..
He ripped out the eye of Gruumsh who is the Lord of the Orcs..
All in all, Corellon is pretty much my favorite Good Deity, (:

Well, in the games I've played in he's never really appeared, he's more of a lurker of sorts..
We see him in shadows or mist, but never in flesh.
But that's just the way the DMs usually perceived him. I myself have never campaigned my own game, so I've never been able to describe him a certain way.
What it normally is, is I pray to him, and he would then grace me with my spells for the day plus an added spell depending on how long I would pray. But I'd see him in the form of mist or leaves or whatever organic substance was around me at the time.
Sorry if that still doesn't answer your question, sweatdrop

In my games, he was portrayed as a more active deity, often doing the Odin bit by disguising himself and traveling the land helping his adventureous children (Or hindering them, whatever was for the better good).
He also had a sense of humor, playing pranks and challenging mortals with randomly generated game shows he created with his awesome godly powers.
Because he was an elder god, reality was his b***h. And he was a Pimp.
Though he did enjoy the vice of Mortal women a bit much, probably to offset his rather feminine yet androgynous apearance in the source books of 3rd edition.
He actually ended up one of my player's Father in Law.

He actually ended up one of my player's Father in Law. I would've loved if our DM would put that much character into him. But sadly, he was left as just a God to pray to, never really given a purpose other than that.
But I really love how you guys perceived him.. So much better than ours..
I would've like to see our DM include him in our adventures, even if we didn't know about it. Say for instance we were traveling to a certain part of the map and we needed a translator of sorts to read the map.. He could've been the translator we happen to run into.
But oh well.. I really haven't conversed with said DM in a long time...
Maybe I should start coming up with ideas for my own campaign, >.>;

The Gods werent just anonymous figures giving subtle hints. They were Alive, active, and more than ready to meddle in mortal affairs. Because they were gods. They could do whatever the ******** they wanted. Not that they did. The Players wouldnt have fun then. But they certainly knew where they stood in the order of the world. That made them work that much harder to have epic exploits and adventures, just so they could reach beyond 20th level and be deities themselves.
