Tonight is the special The Waters Of Mars. In it the Doctor lands on the first Mars Colony in 2059. No spoilers, but one of the important things I noticed is they are showing what the true purpose of the companions are for. They are for the humanizing of the Doctor, to give him more empathy...

Not allow 4e to be published so soon. Maybe after five years, but two years is just too soon. Create a line of books on actual history. With emphasis on skills in historical periods, such as say blacksmiths. Direct to DVD movies based on the games, except for games like Star Wars. Create a...

Everything is subjective, but everybody claims that their way is objective.

So you want everything to be explained in one episode instead of over a season? There are about twenty episodes a season, so have some patience.

So who made the better Betty Ross? Liv Tyler or Jennifer Connelly? Connelly played Betty Ross in the Ang Lee Hulk movie. Personally, I really like both actresses so it's really hard for me to say.

In short, some people really love making things more complicated than they need to be so they can be the elite. Elitist attitudes breed elitist ambitions.

Edition wars are created because people need a pecking order. It's only human nature to tear people apart in order to make themselves feel better about themselves. It's really no different than those who get factional over long running tv shows such as Doctor Who and Star Trek. And you'd think...

I like Mutants And Masterminds better, but I'd much prefer DC Heroes RPG or Marvel RPG. Marvel is the one I started with for superhero RPGS. I also like Palladium Heroes Unlimited. The thing I don't particular care about Mutants And Masterminds though is that you have to buy your saves and...

Logic is just another form of religion because it claims to have the absolute truth and that truth can only come through logic and the correct way of thinking can only come through logic. People can lie about it all they want, but when anything makes a claim of absolute truth, it then becomes...

Monte Cook's d20 WoD is mostly for the new WoD, not the classic with a little bit of his own material. I would like to see a d20 conversion for the classic WoD myself. I am working on one, but I haven't put anything up on my blog yet. It is going to be modeled after Monte Cook's d20 Call Of...

No, I went to bed right after the first episode.

What gets me is the elitist attitudes and feelings of entitlement that people have towards 4e. They play simply because it is not any of the other editions and they wrongly come to a conclusion about the other editions without having played it. As for me, I have been playing D&D since at least...

Guys, here's an exclusive. The second episode of the season is now up on Hulu. MAJOR SPOILERS Sayid dies.

I would make it a separate item rather than a Ring Of Sustenance. Of course, I think the guy who made this was probably thinking about ease of play. But that would be the idea for an adventure, an undead seeking to create such an item because it could mean the first step to regaining their...

Been reading Sergio Aragones Groo The Wanderer for the first time. It's a pretty funny comic. In short, it was created to poke fun at Barbarian based fantasy, especially Conan The Barbarian for whom Groo was modeled after. So here are some Grooisms for you: Sailor one: We are about to set...

I really enjoyed it. Time travel is one of my favorite story styles. Minor spoilers ahead. But, the reason for the change of the focus to be plot more than character, is because they have made promises to explain things, what the island is all about, what the major players are, and why these...

Read Urban Arcana first. That's exactly the D&D modern you want to run.

You're right. My current crop of players have been quite mature, and in fact it was one of my players who did suggest using this method, and they all agreed to it when he brought it to the table. And it has worked quite well for our game. And you're right, it probably wouldn't work with...

Only that I have played those kinds of games, both that rely heavily on stats, and heavily on skills. For example, Palladium games rely heavily on skills rather than stats.
