I'm looking forward to some new adventures from WOTC... especially if they're related in some capacity to the design contest their running.

I think they explained that the planet did exist, but it was a "black rock" where terraforming didn't take hold. News on the planet itself was scrubbed, but it probably still existed in the charts as a dead world.

Wash's death was unfortunate, but I really think it added a lot to the movie. It was so abrupt, catching him in mid-sentence. It just seemed so rude. Damn you, Joss! :p Then Simon gets hit, and the Operative gets Mal. I swear I was on the edge of my seat the whole last 30 minutes of that...

I agree. If you go with that theory and view the Operative as a younger Book, it just rocks. Was Book as ruthless as the Operative? Is that why he refuses to discuss his past? Will the Operative also find faith and take the same path as Book? The Operative just rocked. Cool, calm, smart...

Dark Horse released a 3 issue Serenity comic this month (Sept.). It chronicles some events between the end of the TV series and before the movie... notable stuff about Book and Inara. Joss wrote it so the dialog and story are spot-on. The art's not very good though (IMO).

Actually I had the opposite reaction. I thought she looked better on the big screen. At the time I didn't notice that she lost weight. But I guess you're right. Regardless, she's a good actor and thank goodness for her character... I loved her facial expressions throughout the movie. I hope...

I'm no expert but I really believe in hardware-based firewalls. But having a router isn't enough, you need to make sure it's configured correctly. The Shields Up site has a lot of useful info and will perform various tests and give you practical advice on how to secure your firewall...

I never liked Enchanters because their spells are easily countered by the Mind Blank spell. If that wasn't bad enough, Mind Blank lasts 24 hours and can be cast on creatures our than the caster. When I played a high level wizard, I would prepare it daily, and sometimes I'd save one for my...

That's what I figured about PDFs (that they contain a combination of OGC and closed content). I'm not interested in another discussion on the merits of file sharing and all that (seen enough of that lately!) Bottom line: I just wanted to know if I could easily share OGC with my friends...

Cool, I got that. I was wondering about your XML files (I think that's your format). Once the character generator is released and I have a chance to evaluate it and possibly buy it, what happens if I buy a dataset with OGC? Can I freely distribute it to my gaming group? Similar situation as...

If an RPGXplorer's dataset file contained pure OGC, couldn't it be freely distributed as permitted by the OGL? In other words, a customer buys one and then is legally able to share it with his buddies? Wouldn't there have to be an additional license to restrict sharing of the datasets...

The Aliens soundtrack is an obvious choice. The soundtrack contains some alternate tunes that weren't in the movie. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005BJJX/102-4445610-6159355?v=glance&s=music&vi=samples#disc_1

I was wondering if anyone tried that one out. I kept seeing the ads so I tried it. It's pretty cool! Some of the creep-out parts actually scared me, and it wasn't a cheesey gimmick. Might have to pick this one up.

Since you're probably accumstomed to regular notebooks, I'd recommend a convertible form-factor. And if you want to carry it around and use it like a book (around the house, standing around the D&D table as DM), I'd recommend getting the lightest one that meets your needs. My Fujitsu Lifebook...

Quake IV looks promising.

A buddy of mine uses gmail's 2GB mailbox as a virtual drive accessible from his desktop. There's software available to turn it into a virtual drive: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-15,GGLD:en&q=gmail+virtual+drive

I'd run Windows Media Player and see if you can play the DVD. If not, I'd install some kind of DVD player software, like the one mentioned above. Failing that, I'd call Dell customer support and ask them to help. They'll probably ask you to get the Dell media install CD and re-install it...

I agree. I bought a tablet a few months ago and I use it while I DM. It lays flat so it's not obtrusive. Since I can write on it, I keep all my combat sheets and notes in One Note. I've used the snipping tool to cut out monsters from PDFs and stored them in there, too. I'm still...

Because it looks cooler than carrying around an operating table? :p

Annihilator - the cute rust monster that disintegrates instead of rusts from Underdark. Blackstone Gigant - previously mentioned but worth re-mentioning. :) Maug - half-man, half-dog (just kidding)... sentient planar mercenary constructs. WAR's illustration is awesome.
