Maybe someone from your party has a soul they arent using? ;-) Anyway, as Hypersmurph points out, anything that would advance a devil to the next higher form would likely be notably wicked. Returning to the Hells with a certain number of tasty souls, assassinating the devil immediately above...

So wouldnt the normal +6/+6 flurry become a miss/+12 ?

I'm fascinated that there is absolutely no discussion of whether the story is good or not; its just all about whether a single word should have been edited. So, since I'm bored with the current arguement, I'll try to launch a tangent: How was the story? I remember reading "The Blood of the...

Pick up the latest issue of Dragon and find out. ;-) Actually, its a pretty gritty world, quasi-medieval with spare but powerful magic. Whats interesting to most people is that his characters have a lot of depth to them, that they grow and change in ways that are convincing, if not always for...

Well, if we're just going to argue about one particular ruling in this thread, then I've got to agree with Dr M. The spell says 10'. You can't squeeze 5 more feet out of it horizontally by saying "I run to the edge of my 5' square and then stretch my arms out as far as they go," so why would...

I had the strangest dream the other night. I dreamed that I was DMing my girlfriend & her group (in real life we play in separate 6 player groups). She had come to a steep staircase with a landing halfway down. (Where was the rest of her group? I dont know. It was a dream.) I said...

I think arguing over whether there should be an F--- or not in Martin's Dragon article is missing the forest for the trees. The real question is: should Dragon publish works by major Fantasy authors unedited? Given that Martin is one of the most important authors on the scene right now (and...

Ah, now. Martin is a serious author; he's not just whipping out the F to startle The Sigil. Though, I suppose we wander off into the classic territory of "what is obscenity?" here.

This is the real core of the matter I think. You can edit out all the individual words you want, but Martin's universe is definitely not for the faint of heart. I'm tempted to look back at the opening scene between Jaime and Cirsei to see what happens if you take out the "naughty words"...

Mostly dance right now: Amber - Need to be Naked Amber - Yes (Hex Hector Club Mix) Cake - Going the Distance Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger DJ Sammy & Yanou - Heaven (Extended Mix) Delerium567 & Sarah Mclaughlan - Silence Dirty Vegas - Days go by Norah Jones - Dont know why Pink -...

As a matter of fact, Mitsubishi itself may be a good ally here. Take a look at their Consumer Affairs section and see what sort of options you have for filing complaints against this particular dealership. Mitsubishi, as a company, has an incentive to stamp out sleazy dealerships which...

Omigod. Here is my Supernova story: We went to see Toy Story 2 in the theater. The first preview came on, for something like Scream 2. "Hmm, thats not very kid friendly." Next was Pitch Black. "Definitely not kid friendly". Then Toy Story starts. There are no titles, just a kinda junky...

I didnt get that impression. And, even if Jabba wanted Han alive, it was just so he could have some fun making him un-alive. Or maybe tie him up with a golden neck chain and make him wear Leia's golden bikini. In either case, Han was facing some sort of horrible fate. Yep. I can't wait...

Ooops, you are right. I've mentally combined my bad SF movies that begin with the letter "F". Somehow I transported Jagger into Fortress, which was the one I was mainly thinking of. Still, I dont remember Freejack being very good either. I think it probably says something that my brain...

I ran across Beastmaster 2 on cable the other day and thought it was both a terrible SciFi movie and a terrible Fantasy movie. Here's what happened: Flipping around the channels, I find some loinclothed he-man and his pet tiger being attacked by someone in a rubber monster suit. One of them...

To protest the nipply Fianna line? Because 90% of their stuff is incredible and not breast-related at all. Check out this guy:

I finished Mieville's King Rat, then Steven Fatsis' Word Freak and now Umberto Eco's Baudolino. King Rat is really amazing. The world isnt as dense as Perdido Street Station, but still there are the flights of imagination and the imagery which mean Mieville to me. Of course, if the Golden...

This line made me think of the NewsRadio SF spoof where they close their newscast with the terrible news that "in an unprovoked act of aggression, Rebel terrorists destroyed the Death Star today. Our hearts go out to the families of the brave men who lost their lives." Agree 100%. I'd...

Are you starting at high level? Just curious. I posted a poll a week ago to see what levels people had played -- the majority response was that people had started at "Low" (1st-6th) and played up to "Medium" (7-12). Only about 25% of the people were playing a "High" (13-19) level character...
