I was excited about this when Jon Favreau and Robert Rodriguez were tied to it, but now that it's some guy from Pixar...not so much. This really has been making the rounds for almost a decade.

I second the "Vlad Taltos" books. The writing itself is excellent and I think *most* of the books would qualify as light. The ones that fall in to the "caper gone horribly wrong" category are fun, fast reads. I enjoy Simon Green's "Hawk and Fisher" books which come across as a mixture of a...

Liev Schreiber is a fairly tall guy. I don't think Sabretooth is supposed to be exceptionally tall. He's supposed to be big guy and it does seem like Schreiber really bulked up for the role. I didn't even recognize him in the first few seconds of his appearance in that trailer. For what it's...

I'm reading "Sails & Sorcery: Tales of Nautical Fantasy" a very cool, pirate-y, small press anthology. I also just picked up Paul Kemp's "Shadowrealm" since I've been looking forward to that one for many months.

I wish BBC America would stop showing the same seasons over and over. I'd love to see early seasons of MI5 (Spooks), Top Gear and Wire in the Blood but they keep showing the same two or three seasons. I watch Robin Hood, but it gives me that dirty feeling after... very much like the one I had...

Yeah, I thought it was a good read. I'm glad he didn't sugarcoat the train wreck that is the WotC boards. I can honestly say that I've never seen a forum run by a major company that was consistently malfunctioning. Search wasn't available for years and I can't remember a time (going back 5...

Yes, exactly! I do hate gnomes. I dream every night of stuffing the Travelocity gnome in the microwave and listening to him scream until his head pops.

My local gaming store sucks and hasn't seemed to notice they actually have an RPG section in the back corner of the store. It's just card games and comic books. So, no free gaming stuff for me.

I don't know about that. The Dungeon Crawl Classics line has, over time, developed a pretty significant body of IP. Their "Gazetteer of the Known Realms" is chock full of IP that, I can only guess, Goodman doesn't want to throw in the toilet. The earlier Dungeon Crawl Classics were a lot like...

I'm sticking with 3.5 or maybe I'll give Pathfinder a shot. I need to play *something*, but I just can't get in to 4E. There are too many things about the game I just don't like. I sat down and read through a PHB for about 30 minutes at my local Borders store, and I actually like it less than...

The art is very good and certainly I would consider it among the top in the RPG industry. The layout...not so much. Layout along with the quality of materials used in the book itself are the two things that immediately jumped out at me. Before I even read a word, I noticed both of these...

I hope they were working cheap. That press release is actually pretty hilarious. So much mutual smoke blown up fundaments it's the corporate world at it's best. I get to read these at work a lot, and they're always a source of unintentional humor Company A: "Hey, you know what? We're really...

There's no option for "haven't enough people taken a piss on REH's grave by now?" I've never actually read a good Conan pastiche, and many of them were just crass money grabs.

Could be worse. At least people seem to clamoring to buy the books. I'll be skipping buy.com since they seem to have a habit of not shipping things when they say they will. They seem to have big problems tracking their inventory. As for instant gratification, why not buy something as soon as...

I agree it's pretty bad and it's a shame that we won't be able to read articles here on EnWorld. I'll miss reading the stuff, but not enough to deal with the awful D&D home page. I actually haven't bothered reading an article on the Wizards site for weeks for that very reason. It's completely...
