All this hoopla over 5 bucks? Sheesh, that's a cup of coffee...

Not mad, but I can't help but wonder what 'could have been' had the gametable been a reality.

All these lawsuits accomplished is putting a view dummies into debt. Thousands of pirates will not even notice and continue to get away with it. Makes me wonder what the point of it all is.

Sorry to go slightly offtopic, but I have to comment I'm all for bashing GW's business practices, but be fair. They employ some of the best sculptors in the biz. I'll give you expensive, but you can't call them low quality. Who's doing better with plastics theses days?

Slow doesn't affect shifting at all, it simply makes the character have a speed of 2.

I have to agree. Shutting down your entire site for that long is just... bizarre. I don't care who you are or what upgrades you are planning, you will lose many viewers.

This talk about fixing monsters and house rules makes me wish the designers kept blogs. It would be great to hear what fixes and house rules they implement in their campaigns. Chris Sims offered some fixes for the Sharn -...

Got mine! Bent nicely in half, even though the envelope reads 'DO NOT BEND'. Thanks so much USPS! :rant:

AFAIC, any game played with funny dice, pencils, and no Xbox is an "old school" game. :p

FFGs prices tend to be inflated; you can get their products much cheaper else where. For example, War of the Ring is listed at $80 in their site, I got it from thewarstore.com for around $50 not too long ago.

BTW, I wouldn't consider this a mistake. The game is much better when it's played tactically on both sides of the screen, your DM is not be obligated to play low int monsters as if they are mindless Keep in mind many low Int monster, such as Skeles, have a fairly decent Wisdom.

No one died, whats the problem? :) An encounter which almost kills the party, but in the end doesn't, sounds awesome to me.

I'm curious as to what advantage your players (think they) are getting from changing places in init. After the first round, everyone just takes turns. It sounds like they are simply trying to waste their first! :-S

If a monster can continue to charge after a weave, that power becomes pretty useless. 90% of the time a monster will move adjacent to a PC with a charge.

That's silly. As a DM I would rule out those abilities outside of combat. IMO, encounter powers require an actual encounter.
