    What Games Are You Looking Forward To?

    Diablo 3. Blizzard! Are you listening? Hurry up already!

    Diablo-like games

    Can't help you with the free stuff, but I can point you to some cheap stuff: Darkstone (almost as old as Diablo, but I really liked the ability to play 2 characters at once). Sacred (prettier graphics, weaker game play, much bigger world) Divine Divinity (I couldn't get into it and never...

    False dragon-slayers

    Have one of them always talk with big words and technical jargon, then another one "translates" for him, making fun of his partner's high-falootin' ways to ingratiate himself with the commoners. A take on good cop/bad cop, if you will. This could be either an intentional ploy on their behalf, or...

    So did you like Stealth?

    Since I started this thread, and since I'm the only doofus who liked it, I feel obligated to say something to end it... In my defense ( :heh: ), I have a low, cynical opinion of Hollywood. Meaning I expect predictable plots. I expect crappy dialog. I expect technology gaffes. I expect cliches...

    Disappointing Trends in Movies

    - Count me in the "hate for jerky camera know no limit" gang. - Skinny, tooth-pick arm women beating up men twice their size. Is it possible for a non-anorexic woman to star in an action film? - Men are idiots, women are smart and here on earth to prevent stupid men from doing too much damage...

    So did you like Stealth?

    I saw it Friday, opening night. And the theater was surprisingly deserted. Not just for Stealth, but in general... 7:00 show and the parking lot was maybe 1/5 full. Came out at 9 and still not many cars out there. But that's beside the point. I enjoyed the movie. Predictable plot--sexual...

    City State of the Invincible Overlord. Anyone running it? What do you think?

    Apologies for the diversion... but THIS is why I love EN World. Authors responding to threads about their work! I love it! OK, I'll calm down now.

    D&D movie sequel update.

    Hijack of sorts... Is animation cheaper (in terms of production cost) than regular movies? If so, I'd happily pay to see cartoon (non anime, please) versions of D&D or DL. Special effects would not be a problem... as long as they were written for ADULTS, and no stupid unicorns or such thrown...

    How good should this feat be?

    Setting game mechanics aside, what's the flavor reason for such a feat? Letting your guard down, distracting yourself from your opponent, opens you up to an attack (or, stated differently, makes the ongoing exchange of blows favor your attacker). What sort of real world explanation would negate...

    Rapid Shot, Flurry of Blows -- _____ for melee?

    I agree with you... it would be unbalancing. And while I know it's not "just one more swing", I must admit I still fall back into that kind of thinking unless I make a conscious effort.

    Rapid Shot, Flurry of Blows -- _____ for melee?

    I admit I hadn't thought about TWF. I know bringing in common sense and realism are taboo, but I don't understand why it's acceptable (realistic) to get an arrow, nock, draw, and release an extra time in 6 seconds but you can't swing your sword one more time? So we're saying that to preserve...

    Truely Scarriest Horror Movies Ever?

    "Come play with us, Danny" Still freaks me out. Definitely The Shining.

    Rapid Shot, Flurry of Blows -- _____ for melee?

    Is there a RAW feat that replicates Rapid Shot for melee weapons? And if not, why not? Any reason an extra attack with all attacks at -2 would be imbalancing as a melee feat?

    Giving the monk more choices: the Mystic, version 1.6 -- post #41

    Well, I guess I am a jerk. I was (mistakenly) thinking Stunning Fist was a Monk special ability and totally forgot it's a feat. Please ignore all my previous posts!!!

    Giving the monk more choices: the Mystic, version 1.6 -- post #41

    I'd read the feats, but somehow missed their integration with the PDF. Perhaps you should include them in the PDF? AND... not to be a jerk, but Stunning Fist is still missing. It either should be added, or reference to it should be removed. I'm pretty sure this class is replacing the Monk for...

    Is OOTS getting more "adult"?

    I don't know about more adult/juvenile... but it seems to have changed to plot/story emphasis over "make fun of D&D conventions". Anyone else notice this?

    Conquering an Orc Infested Village

    Illusion magic for disguise to scout/infiltrate. Possibly even to bluff your way into a position of leadership... are there any spells available to do so?

    The Grudge sucked

    SPOILER QUESTION: So, in the very end, does Buffy die or what?!

    Giving the monk more choices: the Mystic, version 1.6 -- post #41

    I like the class. I still need to study it more, but I did notice that Focused Mind refers to a Stunning Fist use, but the class doesn't have the Stunning Fist feature (that I can determine). Why no Flurry of Blows? Why not replicate the Monk's unarmed attack bonuses differential?

    Help me mess with the party's Tempest

    Caryatid Column (Tome of Horrors). Our party lost all of their primary weapons trying to kill 2 of them. Them things are brutal on the weaponry!
