30 D30 30 Charts & Tables that make the most of your biggest Die
Yes I’ve been away from this blog for a while. I do plan on making a return. But 
I’ve been busy with my home-based business, Alien Graphics.
I’ve also been writing. My new book is available from RPGNow.com 30 D30: 30 Charts & Tables that make the most of your biggest Die http://www.rpgnow.com/product/102089. It’s only $5.
Inside you’ll find every D30 chart ever published on this blog as well as several new ones.

Demotivational Poster: Rules
I’ve got a gun and a badge. My lights are on and my siren’s a blarin’. Nobody’s gonna tell me what to do.
Demotivational Poster: Riding Mower
…and we wonder why our children don’t seem to get any exercise.
Demotivational Poster: American Fast Food
“American Fast Food” by Randy Stonehill (c)1983
American fast food, what a stupid way to die
American fast food, order me the jumbo fries
Oh, oh, it’s easy
It’s so easy and it’s trouble free
It’s quick and disposable, just like me
If I don’t stop eating this greasy American fast food
Well, we’re undernourished, but we’re overfed
And we’re munching on the burger with the white bread
And we’re sucking up the sugar in a milkshake
Till we slip into depression with a big headache
And our arteries are crying out, “give us a break”
American fast food, what a stupid way to die
American fast food, you kiss your old age goodbye
Oh, oh, it’s easy
It’s so easy and it’s trouble free
It’s quick and disposable, just like me
If I don’t stop eating this greasy American fast food
You won’t have to embalm me when my life is through
There are so many preservatives in what I eat
The job’s being done right now for you
“Can I take you order, please?”
“A cheeseburger, fries, and a big chocolate malted”
It’s prefab junk at an exorbitant price
And it’s bound to make you nauseous if you look at it twice
But they’re selling you by telling you it’s food that’s fun
When it tastes like cardboard It chews like sponge
’cause it’s really only garbage on a sesame bun
American fast food, what a stupid way to die
American fast food, order me the chili-size
Oh, oh, it’s easy
It’s so easy and it’s trouble free
It’s quick and disposable, just like me
If I don’t stop eating this greasy American
I don’t stop eating this greasy American fast food
Demotivational Poster: 42 (The Meaning of Life)
…and I’m a hoopy frood who knows where his towel is located.
Demotivational Poster: American Retailers
The economy is REALLY bad, we must keep him in here until we have emptied his wallet.
Demotivational Poster: Where’s Wall-E
How big a geek does it make me that I’ve identified at least 75% of the robots in this picture?
Demotivational Poster: Smartphones
Though it does become self-aware.
Demotivational Poster: Principles
The question is how many of us actually do stand for our principles and how many of us only say that we do?
