"Hmmm..." The cleric picks up the sword and the trinket. Perhaps someone has seen work like this before, he thinks, looking at the crude weapon. In his other hand, he examines the gold trinket. [I]Useless junk. I suppose it belongs to someone, though. I should attempt to return it. Grokk pockets...

Thanks for the update, CB. Glad you're feeling better.

I don't think anyone around here is claiming that Joe is lying. However, it is clear that he has a vested interest in viewing things in a certain light. There's nothing wrong with that; it's just the way it is. Despite that, I still found his post interesting.

So...we can't have a discussion about this unless everyone involved lays out their credentials first?

Neither did I. I have fond memories of watching the original when I was little. I'm curious to see how this will turn out.

But, it's part of the gritty, (semi) realistic tone Nolan is going for. Anything much in the way of powers would shatter that. X-Men, Spiderman, and Superman can get away with it because superpowers are part and parcel of their identities. Not so with Batman and doubly not so for the Nolan...

I am so stoked for this.

I'll throw another vote in for Savage Worlds. The new World of Darkness might be interesting, too, if you're looking for something a little different than standard fantasy. You've got lots of options with it - mortals, Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Hunter, and some others.

Wulf Ratbane had some thoughts on iterative attacks in this thread.

I had to go 3.5. It's my favorite version of D&D and with the addition of the options provided by the OGL it just can't be beaten. Really. No matter what you say. Don't even try. :devil:

How does food poisoning always seem to know when someone is on vacation? It's like a conspiracy! :eek: Get better, CB.

Grokk took several deep breaths as the surge of energy withered away. Glaring at the dead goblin at his feet and snorting at it derisively, the half-orc turned around, surveying the scene. Wounded, he thought, ignoring his own blood. Gently moving amongst the townfolk, Grokk offered up prayers...

Have a good time!

"Filthy goblin. Die!" Grokk shouts, aiming another fierce blow from his hammer at the goblin.

I haven't read The Dreamers, yet. My biggest Eddings disappointment was The Redemption of Althalus. I couldn't get into the main character at all and I never felt any sort of drama. The heroes never seemed to be struggling and, in fact, seemed to be laughing at the inept bad guys most of the...

She has a face?

Grokk growls low in his throat. Foul goblins! Is there no limit to their evil? The half-orc draws his hammer and shield and charges the goblin with a guttural cry, his hammer a blur as he tries to bring the creature down. Both rounds, Grokk will attack the goblin.

And this chick is hotter. What?

"Mm," Grokk says, sensing the woman's discomfort, which only served to increase his own. Why did this get so awkward. Time to change the subject. "Uhm, quite a few people turned out for this event, eh?" he asked, not making eye-contact with either of the two humans. Continuing to munch on his...

Grokk squirms slightly, clearly uncomfortable, as the woman's hand grasps his. "Uhm...yes...uh, where have you been?" he asks awkwardly, pulling his hand away.
