I've come to the conclusion that Buffy actually is dead. Last week in Normal Again, we were given an idea that this might be the truth: When Buffy fought and beat Glory and subsequently sacrificed herself to spare Dawn, she died. We all know that, but I believe she really has never returned...

Although this can be argued away as well by saying she dreamed up her HS years as well as everything else, I'll throw this out there: If Buffy's been in the asylum for 6 years how can her current foes be 3 pathetic friends she went to high school with? I mean most high schools seem like...

I was home and actually woke early that morning, a rarity when I'm home. It was a gorgeous NY morning, still summer, I was thinking of biking to the beach. Flipping channels I caught the 1st tower in flames, hearing the confused accounts of the newsmen. Many didn't seem to want to believe it...

I honestly don't understand why you are bored so often that it's beome an issue. I would avoid rules lawyering in general -- as in never counter the DM unless he asks or mentions he's unsure. Interupting flow when you or or character aren't involved is just annoying. The only way I can see...

I think there is also the possibility of a "Relapse" with Spike. With all the potential problems, and the change in story style and arc I wouldn't be surprised to see this season end in yet another cliffhanger -- except this wouldn't be the death of Buffy but the birth of the big evil (or...

Easy. Just curse it. Every so often on a random die roll which conveniently hasn't come up, it does something particuilarly nasty. Opens a one way portal to hell that retrieves it's banished master. Turns into a powerful being that was just disguised and hiding from an ancient enemy. Sucks...

DON'T DO IT! Only IF you think Ann and Morgan are in fact breaking up -- with NO help from you -- drop some hints that you'd like your friendship with her to be able to continue. And when they break up, then ask Morgan if its okay with him to call Ann. In the meantime, ask Ann if she has...

Ain't it the truth -- try watching or reading news that isn't corporate slanted -- they own everything. Well, not the Astro Stadium... What kills me here is that news, as in the presenting of observed facts and events, is now presented in as controversial a manner as possible -- but I can't...

I second these, they were the first books I thought of when I saw your post. Also, if you liked GRRMartin, look for a short story he did called "The Hedge Knight" (AIR), in a book called Legends, a collection of short stories by various authors. Takes place about 100 yrs before the events in...

Without (hopefully) touching on anything political or otherwise taboo, something I miss most in action movies would have to be a plot that is remotely intelligent. Why can't the protagonists or antagonists (not good guy or bad guy) be someone or some group that is involved for or against...

Vampire movies: How come vamps always become stronger than their human form but the bones in their chests become jell-o??? Action/fighting in general: How come the hero is always fantastic in a fight until it comes to the big bad guy and then he gets his butt kicked by the lamest fighting...

Where do you guys go when you need to vent or whine or even discuss something inappropriate for these boards? You know-- current events, politics, religion, stuff replete with cuss words, exes, male pattern baldness...?

It's been a while since I've played Greyhawk, but as I recall we used to play Pholtus as a fairly indifferent god, with those in the Theocracy of the Pale very similar in nature to the whitecloaks from Jordan's Wheel of Time books. Very xenophopic and very intolerant of any other religion as...

This may be too late but what the hay... You could have them fight an illusory battle with the skeletons they destroyed, particularly if the players can't figure out what's going on. They can fight, to their deaths, waking up after it's over and all realizing they had the same dream but...

Sounds like the right plan to me. He's got his little surprise and he's put a lot into it. Go with the flow until you hear the falls. But you have got to post back to tell what all your DM's fuss is about. (It wouldn't surprise me if you'll be playing the same character as someone in the...
