I'm fairly certain you have that backwards.

' Well, my local video stores are crap, so here's hoping Netflix gets it! J

I've been enjoying Full Metal Alchemist of late - while it's been licensed, one of the fansub teams has opted to continue producing episodes as the company (the name escapes me at the moment) has a reputation for butchering conversions. WD, where can I find Gungrave? J

In the old Basic D&D books, where they only had one alignment axis, 'chaotic' basically included 'evil'. J

<snip rant> I happen to like the new Diet Coke with lime. This does not mean that every time I drink a Diet Coke with lime, I should instead be drinking a limeade. Oh, and you forgot to complain about Shadowrun vs. CP2020. J

Never saw Profit - I was just pointing out that the suggestion (the characters are 'bad guys' but portrayed in a sympathetic light) can and has been done successfully. And that's the key - make the audience care about them as people and it doesn't matter how evil they are. It's the opposite of...

This probably belongs somewhere else, but the answer might be instructive: Are people who publish though DTRPG forced to have DRM, or is it only a choice that they can make? In other words, if I, Mr. Game Developer, wanted to have VeryCoolGame (d20 version) sold as a PDF without DRM, would...

"The Sopranos", on the other hand, is doing fine, despite being the story of an adulterous, abusive murderer and his equally villainous henchmen. In fact, most of the Mafia-related movies and shows would fall into this category. The Godfather is regarded as a cinematic great, and many people...

I think this is your saving grace - if you're right. I'd make sure if I were you. I disagree. I've used them more than once, and not had this happen. The secret is that you have to remember is that when you're DMing, they are not a PC. They're an NPC, like a cohort (albeit one of equal...

Perhaps unwise, weighing in to a 30 page thread without reading all of it, but... I find it interesting that paladins are expected by so many people to be perfect. Not merely adhere to the tenets of their alignment or religion, but to be absolutely perfect - something that is generally...

That'd be it. Oddly, I'm OK when the Loonies shell the earth in Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, but then again they did everything possible to avoid civilian casualties there. J

Just finished Fat White Vampire Blues and am now working my way through Memoires of an Invisible Man. J

They should just do a live-action version of Record of Lodoss War. it's got dungeons. It's got dragons. It's got epic quests, paladins, antipaladins, wise sages, mysterious witches, elves, dark elves, and a cool dwarf. And most importantly, it doesn't suck. J

Sounds liked Scrapped Princess. You can get fansubs over BitTorrent. The one I've been watching recently (via fansub also) is Full Metal Alchemist - I like the more serious main arc episodes better than the comedic side plots. Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne, Lodoss War (the originals) and...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. You've just fought your way through ten levels of the evil wizard's tower, hacking through hordes of minions, bypassing countless fiendish traps, to finally face your enemy. He turns, sees you entering his throne room, and draws a breath... "...that sucker's...

Considering that all the new parents I talk to have things to say about how expensive baby formula is (let's put it this way - the wife and I spend less on groceries for two full-grown adults), I'm a little confused why you seem to think that's any worse than counterfeiting coupons for other...

I think that the part you're missing is they do not wish to own it at the price asked for it - but when they saw it sitting there for free, they took it because hey, why not? It doesn't cost them anything. J

Well, it's not quite the same, but you might try the 'Blood' books by Tanya Huff - I don't recall the order, but they're Blood Price, Blood Pact, Blood Trail, and two others. A vampire teams up with a PI to fight supernatural crime. J

Again, from a balance/intent of the rules perspective: The tattooed monk's abilities are class abilities in the same way a fighter's feats or a rogue's evasion are - that is, they are meant to be in addition to the character's equipment. The kensai's special ability is, at its base, an...

Clearly the writers were using point-basewd construction and Superman's player tried to spread himself too thin. Only slightly more seriously, this is (IIRC) sometimes called the "World's Finest" syndrome. Earlier (mostly pre-Crisis), Superman was among his other powers a super-genius...
