I… I really don’t know what to say about this awesome step by step guide on how to become a ninja and part of the I.O.N. (International Order of Ninjas). I’m not sure if the I.O.N. will come after me for mentioning I read it, but they will probably do something to me if I do reveal any of the details in it, so, go ahead, and read it.

Either that or don’t read it. There’s always the possibility of the book killing you. It, or the tasks you need to go through to become a ninja.

Me? A ninja? Probably. I’ve read the book. The book didn’t kill me. The I.O.N. hasn’t killed me as of yet and I’m always on my toes, so this is probably as good as it gets. I’ll keep on working my nice little normal job, but you’ll never know, when looking at me, I might be a deadly ninja ready to attack if you piss me off. And if I don’t attack you at that precise moment, beware, I might just be taking my time.

I did not know I was interested in big assed Argentine girls… I don’t usually go for big assed guys, regardless of personality

Stay classy, Google….stay classy.

Fast forward to about 2 or 3 years ago, when The Boy mentioned that he played Dungeons and Dragons with his friends, live, not online. After having played World of Warcraft for a bit, I wanted to try the real thing. So, along with The Boy, Aldar, Said, Kezzerdrix, and a few others we began playing. I do NOT regret it at all.

I also had to mention the guys because this book was written in the Forgotten Realms setting, which is our setting. The places and several characters were recognized the moment I read about them in this book.

I had to give this bit of a prologue because Pool of Radiance is a book based on a Dungeons and Dragons game, mostly written from the Thief (or Rogue)’s point of view. Kestrel is a thief, and a good one at that, however she is extremely egotistical and only thinks of herself.

Getting herself drunk was a mistake. She agreed to get into a party of people who would face a dracolich, in order to help repair the Mythal of Myth Drannor. She doesn’t trust anyone… at first. After a while she begins trusting each and every one of them, except for the Paladin. Corran would be someone I, personally, would also hate. He seemed, at the beginning, so very much conceited and worried about himself that he would put Kestrel to shame. After a bit you start understanding a bit more about Corran, and about each of them. You don’t get to see all the aspects of every one of them, but I can say each of them has good qualities (yes, even Corran).

The characters meet with different, problematic, foes, everytime getting to a point where Kestrel will despair a little and rethink what she’s doing there, however she keeps at it.

I can’t mention many details about it, as usual, because I REALLY would like people to read it. I can’t lend it to anyone because this was one of those books that The Boy lent to me (I’m cleaning up, reading HIS books first because I REALLY need my space), but it’s definitely an easy read for anyone who wants to get into the D&D thing… though it’s better if you just play it on your own first, and find out about different characters after you’ve grasped a bit of it!

Too long have we suffered in silence under the tyranny of idiocy. In the beginning, the internet was a place where one could communicate intelligently with similarly erudite people.

So… are we ready to leave stupidness behind?

The truth is, personally, there is only one place I totally allow and enjoy all the OMG BRB L33T BBQ talk… and that’s Oxhorn’s Mortuus so now seeing something that probably maybe would perhaps help us ignore that kind of stuff… it seams like heaven…

*sigh* except damn stupid people… they ALWAYS find a way to creep into our lives and annoy us.

let’s just keep our fingers crossed….
