My card is remembered by the site. Makes it too easy to buy stuff but I don't always have to fuss with a card either.

Most of what I buy is on sale. Paizo.com for example has several clearance sales going on so I've bought a bunch of books from them.

Yeah, I too tend to buy a little older products that have already reduced price, but when that "25% off" means it costs about the same as new games a few years back, it makes me grit my teeth...

THings like initial deployment, facing and movement are very important, as is the morale of your troops. I would like to pick the expansion up sometime if I can find it.

The open cinematics are schweeeeeet

One of the few things that are cheaper here in ZA than overseas. We are looking at ZAR350 - 400 for a new pc game (for what it is worth roughly ZAR14.46 to the Pounf, 13.43 to the Euro and 10.07 to the US Dollar)

I'll have to check it out some time. I really like the 40k RTS. I look forward to the second one.

Hmm the computer I'm actually working on at the moment keeps on having loads of runtime errors now, I can't think of anything I've done different except look at that zip file of that girl from the west wing in her underwear darn but the thing is it doesn't seem like a virus.

It won't even let me reply on my normal computer as an infinite number of the same runtime error keeps on appearing, it also won't let me use the tools at the top while writing posts, I think that has something to do with a runtime error concerning VB its all about expected objects and stuff I'm confuzzled.

I really want to give the game a go. Looks like fun. She also asked which setting we wanted to use. So far there are 2 votes for the default setting of Golarion.

The hive is moving at high speed these days.... Again a new hive!

Blackrat, tell me how Mark of Chaos works out for you. I like Warhammer (at least the setting), might be interesting.

Some of the classes have new changes like wizard's schools to me appear to work like cleric domains by giving things as you level.

There is CMB= Combat Manuever Bonus which replaces many of the rules for grapple and the such. Made things more simple.

They haven't changed too much because they want it to be useable with 3.5 material.

Awesome idea. I'd love to play in the Planescape setting. I may have to change my vote.
