Playing D&D (3.5 edition) at mar2nee's house - she's DMing.

The netbook is working well - I'm using it to play an online virtual "glass aromonica," the instrument my Gnome Bard uses.

As I recall, that wasn't the sound, but the lead in the glass used at the time. The sound was just a convenient excuse since they didn't know about heavy metal poisoning in the late 18th century.

Oh? I don't know much about the history of the Glass Armonica, I only heard of it for the first time about 9-12 months ago. I thought that they originated in the 19th century. ^.^;;

Wow, that's a lot of history.

I decided to wiki the Glass Armonica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_Armonica) for quick reference.

Wiki sez the theory doesn't stand up - you can't get lead poisoning from touching leaded glass.

I'm pretty sure they just thought it drove people crazy 'cause it sounds so damn creepy. ^.^

I think it was that they where probably licking their fingers to moisten them. But makes more sense to me than the sound driving folks crazy.
