    After Dark HorrorFest III: Anyone going?

    I've been looking forward to this for over a year now, since they pushed it back from Oct 2008 to Jan 2009. I was generally pleased with the films last year, only one or two that were meh, and not really any that I thought were terrible. This year: Also the unrelated horror film The Unborn is...

    Forked Thread: The Best OGL Systems

    Forked from: The best D&D books (Regardless of Edition) I thought this was worth of it's own thread. What are the best OGL based rules sets? I do mean self contained games, not books that require the 'core 3'. My nomination, Conan The Roleplaying Game by Mongoose Publishing. I love this...

    Change post time display

    It seems that with the last upgrade the 'time of post' markers were changed from showing the actual time/date to showing 'xx minutes ago'. I've gone through my account settings but can't find an option to change it. Am I missing something? If not can we please have the option? I greatly dislike...

    May '08 What are you playing?

    Age of Conan is in Open Beta now. I'm giving that a go. So far it's interesting, The active combat is similar to Dungeons & Dragons Online but with far more options and 'combos' it uses hot keys rather than the mouse triggered combat of DDO. The graphics are amazing. Downside: If the forums are...

    The Mist, in living black & white!

    So, I picked up the 2-disc version of The Mist, after seeing that it had a B&W version on it. As an amatuer photographer, I have an appreceation for B&W that most probably don't, so this had me curious. I have to say, WOW! After the director's introduction and explination of 'why', you really...

    Undead PC ideas

    Ok, so Saturday nights game ended badly. Apocolyptic type badly. We failed in our mission to stop the BBEGs from unleashing a power that made bad things worse. (Basically it was a way to introduce the Critical Hit Deck into play.) Now that Crits are more unpredictable and in many cases nastier...

    Houston area Cthulhu game?

    Long time Lovecraft fan, I've always wanted to play CoC, but just can't seem to find a group playing it. 1) Chaosium OR d20 version, I'd prefer the former, but out of desperation... 2) I live and would prefer to play on the NW side of town, but I have no problem driving across town if the game...

    Bad news for The Hobbit

    Seems Peter Jackson isn't the only one not being paid by New Line for the LotR movies. http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,2255898,00.html The law suit not only demands payment, but may allow Tolkien Trust to prevent New Line from even making the planned prequals. :(

    Soooo... remember Ethan Haas?

    You know, 'Ethan Haas was right'? Everyone assumed it was part of the marketing campaign for Cloverfield. After about a month I gave up on the whole thing. The flavor of the puzzles didn't seem to match what little we knew about CF. Well, it turns out that, 1-18-08 is also the release date for...

    Blade Runner: Final Cut

    It's finally out today. I can't wait for lunch, I'm going to go out and grab my Ultimate Collectors Edition (BluRay). The next several nights will be spent in wonderous cyberpunk roots bliss! A pretty extensive review can be read here...

    Horrorfest 2007

    Anyone been? I went this past weekend and holy CRAP is my poor arse sore. Some 13 or so hours in a ten year old (at least) theater seat is... not pleasent. I had my doubts after seeing last years mostly bad flicks and the travesty that was the online pre-purchase system. However, even the...
