I should have known. Charles Stross is a gamer:

When it comes to talking about tech gadgets, I confess to a poor track record: I have a low saving throw vs. shiny!

Brings back memories of "botching my dex check" and spicy food doing "stun damage." Good times.

I'm shocked you've not mentioned your famous Rote from Mage; I believe we purloined the name "Colon Blow" to grace that Rote. Something to do with one or two points of Life and three points of Time.

Ahh, those were the days.

Oh god... I'd completely forgotten about that one. The one I remember was (I think) a multi-disciplinary replacement for "Buddha Bless You" entitled "B*tch Be Cool!", a-la Jules Winfield. ("What's Fonzie like? YOLANDA! What's Fonzie like? That's right, he's cool...")

Yep, much use that Rote got. I miss the Mage game sessions. :(

That reminds me: I just stumbled over a great advertisement for D&D from a couple of years ago. It reads, "If you're going to sit in your basement pretending to be an elf, at least have some friends over to help." I like.

There's a variation on that involving WoW somewhere. Interesting premise.
