    *groan* Cohort Questions.

    I have allowed the leadership feat but with qualifications. If I think the class will over power the party and make my job to hard I will say so and say no. I said no to a druid cohort once because in the party we already had a druid and her companion, and two magic users with familiars. Adding...

    D&D 5E Are you happy with the Bard being a full spellcaster?

    I have played a lot of bards and never found them weak. But then I don't judge a class by how much damage it can do by itself. The ability to buff everyone is strong. And Bardic knowledge can put a wizard and their knowledge skills to shame. I also found a lot of role playing opportunities for...

    D&D 5E Are you ready for a new edition of D&D?

    Not really. I still have a ton of ideas for 3E and I just got into Pathfinder. I do use other systems like Hero for my Xena style campaign. I am not saying I wouldn't play in 5E game if I was invited by a DM I liked but I can't at this time seeing myself wanting to invest in the books and run...

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I disagree. They had the technology to try a non lethal approach and they didn't even try. That was what bothered me the most. And again these men were doing their job they had not one shred of proof other than these armed men word that it was an medical emergency. The doctors were not even...

    D&D 5E I cant wait to see what they do with backgrounds... one thing i hope is that there is a slot for flaws

    I am big fan of Shadowrun's flaws. Taking them gives you a chance to get more goodies for your PC but they have a price sometimes a heavy price. Most require the DM to handle them in game. This only works if you trust your DM and if you enjoy role playing out negative consequences. I know a lot...

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    It is evil if you kill innocents to save your loved one. Say your daughter needs a heart transplant if you go out and murder a person who is a match that is evil. Your daughter's life is not more important in the grand scheme of things that the life of the person you took to save her. Of course...

    D&D 5E Where Should The Magic Items Go?

    I feel they belong in the DMG. I have always felt that magic items belong in the purview of the DM. Putting them in the PHB subtly sends the message that the PCs are entitled to what ever items they want. How I handle the fact that a player may not have a DMG I hand out cards with the...

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    The guards had no proof that there was a medical emergency it could have been a ploy to get into the base. Faking needing help is one of the oldest tactics in the book. I would do the same for my son that is human nature but does change the fact that those men didn't deserve to die.

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I sill admit I was a little angry at the killing of the guards who were only doing their jobs especailly since they have technology like the night night gun that just stuns. Why were those men lives worth less than Skye's. I do understand Coulson anger. I don't think he wants to be dead now. I...

    Why were fans disappointed with Battlestar Galactica's finally?

    I am still a huge fan of the original. I saw it as an adult and while it is now cheesy compared to how TV shows are done today at the time it was amazing. I am not a huge fan of the new show. I think the mini series and first season were well done but after that it started to feel as if the...

    Secrets

    I have been told secrets and while I never felt the need to shout them to the world there were times carrying them was hard. I believe white lies help smooth things over and makes living with other people easier. IMO being brutally honest usually goes hand in hand with being a jerk and not...

    Are you cooler than your parents?

    I think I am if you are judging coolness by being into pop culture. My dad for example was born in 1918 he hated Star Wars said he didn't understand it. He thought my belonging to the SCA and going to Cons after my son was born is something a grown up does not do. He hated all rock music and rap...

    What shows or movies do you wish would get either DVD or Instant Viewing releases

    I had forgotten about Crossbow I really liked that show. Another short lived show would be Warriors and Wizards.

    2013 Nebula Award Nominees

    I know it is a writer association I think it depends on the writer on how they vote for example Adam Troy Castro is also a huge movie buff so he looks at the complete picture when he votes. Both David Gerrold and GRRM worked in TV and also tend to look at the complete picture. I know that Her...

    What tv shows do you own on Dvd?

    I have been lucky with the fact that most of my friends know of my addiction and have fed it with gift cards. I have only been able to buy three DVDs in the last 18 months and it has been hard. I also am willing to wait a lot of times for when they come on sale. I picked up all Stargates on...

    What tv shows do you own on Dvd?

    I am doing that with books. Having digital versions is also a good way to go. I have been thinking about doing that. The only issue I have is what happens if the company goes out of business you need a way to have them backed up on your own system.

    What shows or movies do you wish would get either DVD or Instant Viewing releases

    There are so many that I would like to see. What comes to mind is some shows from the 70s that I loved liked The Bold Ones, The Name of the Game, Search. I wish someone would release season 2 of Earth Final Conflict every other season has been released. And season 3 of Seaquest yes I can see...

    What shows or movies do you wish would get either DVD or Instant Viewing releases

    If it is illegal then I am willfully breaking the law my DVD player is region free and I buy region 2 DVDs all the time mostly from Ebay but also from Amazon UK. I have never once had a DVD that didn't play just fine on it. I have also used the codes on the internet to turn a region 1 player...

    What tv shows do you own on Dvd?

    I know several people who have done this and then regretted it when it was no longer being streamed.

    What tv shows do you own on Dvd?

    What can I say I have been a TV addict for as long as I have been able to turn one on by myself. When I was a teen in the 70s I used to use my cassette player to record the audio off my favorite shows to listen to later. I used to say if they can capture voice why not picture too. I had one of...
