    I've got two words for you - Savage Dragon.

    Minor rant on the state of PDFs

    How about PDF995? If you get PDFEdit995, also available from their site, it lets you merge two or more PDFs. All their products are free, but they pop up web pages (nothing bad, just their site). You can pay $9.95, and they won't do the popups anymore. However, it is based on the "crappy"...

    did anyone else see the Cartoon Network Star Wars short?

    What was everyone's opinion of the first chapter? My girlfriend thought it was lame, which is kind of funny since she's a bigger Star Wars fan than I am. One of my friends who watched it called it "short attention span theater". I thought it was OK, but too short for my tastes. I would...

    Anyone else given up on new releases?

    I'm with ya man. After having been an avid computer gamer since the TI-99/4a (1982 or so), now at age 25, the last new PC-based game I bought was Neverwinter Nights. I tend to use my PC for other things like video editing, programming, and general messing around. For example, I built a GUI...

    iTunes for Windows...NOW AVAILABLE!!

    I downloaded it, used it, and liked it a lot... but then I noticed what else it did to my system. First of all, even though I specifically told it not to, it associated some of my media types with QuickTime. That didn't make me too happy, but was a 5 second fix. The part that really bugs me...

    Your Thoughts on the Matrix Revolutions?

    Wow. I've seen an overwhelming amount of negativity surrounding this movie. It sounds like quite a few were disappointed. I'm glad at least Mustrum_Ridcully had something good to say about it. Admittedly, I was only lukewarm on the first movie. I thought it was an interesting concept, but...

    Baseball discussion thread

    I agree with this statement completely. In the 7th inning of game 6, you could see that Prior's pitches had less movement on them than the previous innings. He was very clearly getting tired, and Dusty made no move to even have someone warming up. He shouldn't have even been in there when the...

    Picked up Matrix Reloaded for $14.99 on DVD today

    That sucks as I couldn't possibly care any less about surround sound.

    PHB 3.5 Cover. Anyone else notice this?

    Hey... no it doesn't. And now my cd player doesn't work anymore. That was mean!

    What novels have most influenced your game?

    Mine's a mix of a lot of things - books, movies, video games, urban legends, etc. From the book side, I'd have to say that there's a healthy portion of the Sword of Truth series (Terry Goodkind) mixed with a dash of Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King, sprinkled with the devious (insane?) plots...

    Dragonlance Novel Recommendations

    I only got about halfway through the first trilogy because I didn't really like it very much. I think it was the style of their writing that bothered me. Does it get better after the first few chapters of the second book? I didn't like the first book, but decided to give the second one a try...

    John Doe ... what happened?

    It wasn't so much the absurdity of him being able to recite the binary code of Windows that got me. It's the kid in the audience that apparently could also recite the same code, as he was able to verify the correctness of John Doe's recital without looking at a computer. That said, I did like...

    Buy land on the moon for $19.99 plus tax

    Why pay $19.99 per acre, when I'll sell you the whole thing for a mere $500?

    Any companies using the old SRD?

    That is incorrect. Once material is open, you can use it indefinitely. They can use the 3.0 SRD, 3.5 SRD, mix the two, or whatever.

    Valar Project, Inc. just sold my email.

    Not to cause a flamewar or anything, but while (s)he may be prejudging the product, I think it's hard to believe that (s)he's prejudging the company or the people. The company has been in the public eye for some time. The company has a web presence and a forum in which its representatives...

    Looking at a few Old-School Games, advice please

    I still play Hunt the Wumpus on my TI-99/4a every once in a while. Parsec, too.
