I dunno, Ravenclaw has had a pretty good season. I vote Arsenal.

I have a feeling a certain Beholder may make a difference.

Half-elves are far more emo due to internal emotional conflicts about their half-human heritage.

He's multiple personalities! Together, they fight crime! First D&D game in which the entire playing group can play as a single character.

He's Batman.

Feat: I'm Batman. You are Batman. That's all that matters.

We can all excoriate Lucas for wasting interesting characters -- I've a long simmering resentment for what he did to Boba Fett in RotJ. But I'd rather move on than attempt rehabilitation; better to have a clean break from Lucas' poor choices. To me, bringing Maul back in the Clone Wars series...

Sigh. They should have left the two halves of this character at the bottom of the pit. It's a big galaxy, go explore something new. Oh well, to each their own.

A more appropriate response would have been: Clout. On. The. Ear.

It's kind of a bizarre thing for me because this same argument is going around right now for the CCG that I do play, Star Wars Unlimited, with players complaining that the "value" of a booster box is less than what they pay, and stores complaining that they have to deeply discount what they have...

Just saw this elsewhere ... will need someone more knowledgeable to translate. It seems like the complaint is shareholders are losing value because ... (1) They are printing more Magic cards which causes the secondary market to be depressed? I don't follow how that's a securities issue. If...

Given the terms you used, I'd call RPGs "story generators." IMO there should be no inherent plot or story, but the GM should provide situations and characters who have motives and action. How the PCs interact with the world and its denizens generates stories; long term interaction with NPC...

I think I'm going to need a poop edit; no one needs gratuitous projectile defecation. // D&E has a low-level D&D campaign vibe -- that's a huge plus IMO. Though it's probably a single-player campaign and the DM added an NPC sidekick character. (We won't mention that it's a ripoff of samurai...

Painting Warhammer Quest: Darkwater right now, which was a Christmas gift from the spouse. Great game and beautiful sculpts. Six models left to go ... First time using a water effect on a base (it a cleer Vallejo texture paste). Over some olive/greenish base paint it does a good job of swampy...

Fair enough. I suspect non-book readers will miss out on Dunk's internal monologue which IMO adds a lot, unless the show figured out a way to insert that in a rational fashion. But heck, he's thick as a castle wall, so maybe you're not missing much.
