I'm interested in giving them a try, but I'm also wearing a Snuggie right now. So I understand if my opinion as a consumer has little merit.

As a social player the idea is completely abhorrent to me. You may as well ask me if I would join a game where if my character dies, so do I. The ideas are equally ridiculous. Nothing could make me consider a setup like that for a tabletop game. I know this is basically what a tournament-style...

As far as the science goes, no, you couldn't have acid-based life forms. When talking about life forms composed of carbon, or silicon, or sulfur, the criteria there is the most versatile element possible because you need a large variety of interchangeable chemical bonds to form structures and...

If folks are not happy with the change in direction the class has taken, I doubt additional development time is going to make much difference. What this news means to me is that I won't see the class in the Character Builder until at least January.

The noncombat uses for poisons are not fixed. They still seem to be undetectable and automatic.

I'm assuming it'll include updated stats for the noncombat uses for poisons, which in the article didn't detail any way to detect, resist, or disable the poisons. Some folks did not like the at-will that rendered an enemy helpless. I did not like that the judo throw at-will targets AC but gets...

I bought one of the Heroscape sets a few years ago and didn't really get the appeal, it was pretty expensive and seemed to take a lot of setup. Can you explain what I'm missing?

I don't know if this is really the sort of anecdote you're looking for, but for me creating art and roleplaying have one very distinct difference: I created art from my misery and roleplaying is best when I'm happiest. I was brought up to express myself artistically, I attended an art school, I...

Starman, it doesn't seem like I'm going to be able to satisfactorily explain what I feel are the relative merits of time invested in roleplaying versus playing video games. Personally, I blame semantics. In any case this is not a line of discussion I'm interested in pursuing any further.

If avid means well-balanced, then sure, well-balanced gamers are well-balanced. If sacrifices are being made to maintain video game time, I think that's a lot harder to justify than roleplaying. That must be where we fundamentally disagree.

What do you mean by avid?

One question, when you say games, are you talking about RPGs with friends or are you also talking about video games, MMOs, etc? Because I think that RPGs are a social experience, an outlet for creative energy and personal growth that can really benefit a person. Video games, on the other hand...

I was always more interested in the Werewolf side of things, so I hope to see some of that. This is probably the first MMO I've ever had a genuine interest in.

I have no interest in Final Fantasy and I consider myself done with the 3.5 system after a good run of nearly a decade, so I don't think I'm your target audience. But I'll see if I can give some constructive criticism on the mechanics. I'm looking at the Warrior class since I assume it's the...

I don't know about humanoids, but, here is what humans look like over a large range of heights and weights. http://www.cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/heightweight.shtml I know there are other sites like this out there, this is just the first one I found. But what makes a humanoid different from...

I buy my paints from several places. P3 and Vallejo: Miniature Market Miniature Market also carries Reaper Master Series, but they don't carry Reaper Pro Paints. So I have to go to another place for that. Reaper Master Series/Reaper Pro Paints: Miniature Giant They also sometimes carry hard to...

This is just a bump to let folks know that Reaper's mouselings are finally, finally available as of last week: Reaper Miniatures :: OnlineStore You can even buy individual mice through Reaper, though they're a bit more expensive that way. Halloween mouselings have been previewed for Reaper's...

I completely disagree with Frank about craft paints. In theory this is true. You won't run out of paint, though. I'm still using 17 mL droppers I bought years ago. I've painted hundreds of miniatures with them. What you'll get from craft paints is low quality, heavy pigment that will cover...

Polyhedron 137 has the article "Of Sigil and the Sea". I don't know the page number offhand.

Comparing the two it looks like it's significantly reduced. DR for seelie fey is 5/cold iron until 10 HD, and then it becomes 10/cold iron. Unseelie fey have DR 5/cold iron starting at 4 HD, 10/cold iron starting at 8 HD, and 15/cold iron from 12 HD on. Iron vulnerability remains unchanged.
