    Opinions - IPad 2 or 3?

    I'm sorry but that just isn't right. It was a major point of contention when it was released because many (most?) newsstand magazines looked rubbish on retina screen - an artefact of publishing related to font licensing. These weren't PDF files so might not be germane to the original question -...

    Dark Knight Rises (review and discussion) [major spoilers from second post onwards]

    Saw it today, thought it was an OK film. Bane was much better than I thought he would be. A couple of things didn't make much sense to me though - did batman get his back broken, but it 'got better' in prison through doing press-ups and stuff ?!? That didn't make lots of sense to me. The other...

    Olympics: Who is watching?

    Watching a lot and loving it - especially cycling, rowing & swimming events, but The BBC has put in some really tremendous support for the events - on any day I can watch any event I want to live on TV (and their ipad/iphone app gives access too, I think), so I see some of the lesser known...

    What if Earth really is the center of the universe?

    Or just as equally because some people have seen a 15-minute adventuring day issue they think it is a universal issue. See what I did there? In other words, please don't try to drag your personal beefs about D&D issues into this discussion - passive-aggressive insinuations about the...

    What if Earth really is the center of the universe?

    Well, one could argue that it plays out identically to the current situation, since at present we appear to be the only actors on the stage :) Or did you mean that instead of being rotating around in a galaxy which is flying away from all the other galaxies, we happened to be in the literal...

    Encounter-based Design: The only smart elephant in the room

    My impression has always been that the '15 minute day' and 'the nova problem' were rarely spoken of until WotC brought them up in the dying days of 3.5e. Since then quite a few people on ENworld have said that it is a problem they see, but an equal number have said 'never seen it as a problem'...

    The Amazing Spider-Man (SPOILERS BEWARE!)

    Completely agree here. I had hoped the Spiderman 3 would have been a Lizard movie, since they had already put Chekov's gun on the mantlepiece there... I always liked the original comic book Lizard who was strong and tough but Spidey knew that it was his friend Dr Connor which made it harder for...

    Star Trek is full of extremist one trick pony races

    I disagree, if I may, Elf Witch. And this is the reason why (spoiler blocked just in case) Wash and Zoe in Firefly. It was wonderful to see a happily married couple who were in love - and their relationship and interactions were never boring. There were even some occasions where the story was...

    You certainly do - we miss you!

    Star Trek is full of extremist one trick pony races

    Now, your opening post would have been much, much better without this unwarranted opening of trek/wars hostilities. It wasn't what you wanted to talk about, so why include it? Please don't do it again. CorAzer kindly pointed out that I failed my reading comprehension a little sorry!

    Iron Heroes, please live!

    Moved to legacy forum, as you're more likely to get the right person seeing it here.

    D&D 5E Ed Greenwood to write 5E's Forgotten Realms

    Welcome to EnWorld! It is good to have you here, but we need to ask you to avoid making deprecating statements against things you don't like. It is the kind of thing that starts 'edition wars' which we frown upon. Thanks

    Best idea for the Ranger's "Favored Enemy" mechanic.

    I think you've got most of your factual points wrong here, I'm afraid. This is why: 1. In 1e and earlier, rangers got bonus against 'giant class' but that wasn't just giants - it included goblins, orcs, ogres etc too. So it was a useful damage bonus against the foes you fought at low level and...

    The Illusionist: Class, Background or Theme?

    I think that the pertinent question about whether something could be a theme or background is this - does it make sense for any class to have that as a background or theme? If it doesn't , then it shouldn't be a background or theme. For me, a commoner illusionist rogue, or an illusionist...

    Wizards and Armor

    Yes, that I could agree with. Themes end up as collections of meaningful feats and I could see several themes which could have armour wearing as a part of them.

    Wizards and Armor

    I think the problem with that idea is that it is too one-note for a theme, which will be a defining aspect of the character. It also knocks out other potentially interesting themes. Not saying it couldn't be done, but I don't like the idea which is often suggested of many special-purpose...

    Wizards and Armor

    I voted other because I don't really care whether it is spell failure chance (or disadvantage?) if casting in armour, or can cast in any armour as long as you are proficient or *something*. I really dislike the principle of wizards can't cast in armour 'just because'. Clerics are happily...
