i used to work at The Swamp Fun Park in Gloucester VA

Ah. Sorry, you can't come to Texas, then. 😄

Does... does that mean I broke the law when I visited my aunt and uncle last year for Thanksgiving?

Be careful where you go in Colorado. Rangers are on their way.

Texas Rangers

Yes, put your hands in your disk drive, you are under arrest

It amuses me to no end that Sargon and Dankula have managed to do what they've done.

Like holy shit.

The import question now is: are the Rangers only allowed to patrol those parts of CO that used to be in TX, or are they hunting me?

It's an effective blockade.

I worry that they wont change the sketchier aspects of the party though

Memetic magic is finally observable

/\

Better go pretty deep into wyoming if you're west-coast bound.

Here's the question.

Why are rangers..

Why would one go to the west coast?

oh.

A class in D&D

They always seemed odd.

Not really

A staple that was always in there.

Because Strider called himself a ranger on LotR

They're based on the Dunedain Rangers in LotR, yeah

/\

forgive me for not putting the diacritical in Dunedain, I can never remember the ALT code for it

Tolkien was a genius

and he didnt even know it

saaaaame

It's pretty impressive how 90% of fantasy settings are just direct ripoffs of lotr

To be fair, D&D has expanded past a direct ripoff of LotR

LOTR ripped off plenty.

basically

90% of the remaining settings are direct ripoffs of D&D

oh def

0250 ú

And true

LOTR has a lot of elements from myth and folk tale etc

I had to learn that range back when I was a wee lad.
