IMO, the only conflict worth seeing in IM3 is Tony Stark vs Iron Man. The rest is just screen filler (and the flaunting of thermodynamics is bad enough that "it's a super hero movie dude!" can't even save it). I'd say at least give IM3 a wink once it hits its rotation on cable or Netflix...

I spent a lot of time when I was younger paying less attention to Iron Man in favor of the other Avengers, Hulk, the Fantastic 4, the X-men, Spiderman and others in the Marvel universe. I don't think RDJ's performance is really the only factor here. The writing for Iron Man / Stark in the...

No, there are no explicit rules governing Obligation and Duty together. They are separate things from compatible games. However, it might be worthwhile for FFG to have folks playtest how well these two separate things work in their compatible lines since they have stressed interoperability as...

There are four (4) repeat specialization trees out of twenty (20). And they are connected to different careers. I like that a pilot spec is a pilot spec. Otherwise one would be the "right" one and the other would get mothballed. I think 16 new talent trees, running Duty and Obligation...

Eclipse Phase does the transhuman sci-fi thing really well. The system isn't the greatest (it works fine, I just dont love percentile systems that much) but the subject matter and setting are really good. Mostly, EP showed me a side of sci-fi that I had somehow avoided for one reason or...

I'd just stop rolling my dice and just start saying how many 6's I just "rolled." I mean if the GM doesn't care about loaded dice then I should be able to be trusted to set the results of whatever pool or check I'm rolling for.

I think the point that was being made a few pages back is that people don't want to have to pay for a game and then design the game they actually want out of it. I totally get that. It's just hard for me to get too worked up because I am kind of like that spoiled little brat that just got...

If your group typically plays dice pool games where-in each person has their own stash of dice then, maybe. If, like Crothian mentioned, everyone has the dice within reach then two sets of dice for the group should work if iPads are an option at your table, get the app. I originally picked it...

I'm part of the group of Star Wars fans that actually likes what FFG is doing and feels that Edge of the Empire is plenty Star Wars-y. Each to their own I suppose. Play the version you like and have at it :-)

I hate to jump on the "tell me more tell me more" wagon NMC, but have they updated any of the vehicle & personal scale interactions at all? During the Beta it was nigh impossible for a character to dent a speeder bike without a lightsaber or a thermal detonator because the damage reduction...

Time to dive into something that you know you like, for the benefit of the children of the future and your love of fantasy fiction. For me, I dove headlong back into listening to Steven Pacey's narration of Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy. It's sort of like an audiobook ______ shower...

If you are kind of meh on switching, then I'd second the suggestion to pull game rules from the PRD (just use: ctrl-p, a tablet or a pc) until you decide whether or not a cash outlay is worth your while.

The Darkness spell simply drops the current level of light by one step, it doesn't create a super black oubliette of darkvisiony doooooooom. So Sunlight (bright light) becomes normal light (helping critters that struggle with light sensitivity). Characters within 20ft of a torch or light spell...

I concur, oh grumpy one :-). That was the longest and most painful sequence that I've read in a book for...maybe ever? From there on out, I was just kind of numb and barely remember the rest of the book. There were some things that I liked in Wise Man's Fear. But very little of it seemed...

I'm sort of in ambivalent toward the movie now that I've seen it. I tried to stick to the mission, and enjoy the movie for what it was instead of what it wasn't (as I said more or less in my post back on page 2'ish). I really enjoyed the opening sequence and the extra attention given to...
