Railroading (v.): Railroading is when a DM heavily restricts or eliminates any player control over the events of the campaign and forces the PCs down a pre-scripted path, similar to how a train has no control over where it goes, and can only follow where the railroad tracks take it.

Drama Queen (n.): A player who mistakes a D&D session for a community theater production. All of their characters have long and detailed backstories, they often engage in long in-character discussions with NPCs and other PCs, they worry about doing anything out-of-character, and they never...

Except the thing is, I've seen the label "Drizzt Clone" or "Drizzt Wannabe" thrown around even in reference to characters who don't have very much in common with Drizzt at all. I've seen those terms used to describe: Any good-aligned drow. Any surface-dwelling drow. Any drow PC period. Any...

Heh, the age-old question... "What is the perfect D&D party?" If you ask this question to 10 different D&D players, you'll get 10 different answers. My picks: Dwarf barbarian: The ability to absorb damage and dish it out. Halfling rogue: Open locks and disarm traps, with dual-wield feat...

Bwah?! There are hardly any Drizzt-gasms that happen on this forum. Mainly because on EN World, the Drizzt Haters Bandwagon is a very large and vocal one. It's far more common on EN World to see people complaining about Drizzt and R.A. Salvatore than praising them.

Wasn't there an episode of Seinfeld where Elaine wanted to hire a hitman to get rid of an annoying cat? :) There may be another alternative for you. A few years ago, there was a big, mean tomcat that would always come over to our property and fight with our pet cats. Using a pellet gun, I...

I don't. Although there have been times in the past I've responded to a particlularly asinine post by saying "I miss the rolleyes smiley", I agree that it's probably better for the forums if it remains gone, as it was mainly used by posters who liked to act snide and superior towards those with...

Most anime I can't stand, but there have been a few I've really liked over the years:Princess Mononoke Spirited Away Record of Lodoss War Tenchi Muyo Noir Ninja Scroll El-Hazard Cowboy Bebop Vampire Hunter D Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust I've also heard good things about Berserk, but have yet to...

Betcha he becomes a New York City taxi driver. :)

I haven't seen any movies since Serenity, although I almost went to see Into the Blue last weekend because a bikini-clad Jessica Alba is just too tempting to ignore (in fact, there's a good chance I'll go see it this weekend :) ). I am really looking forward to the new Zorro movie coming out...

They are from PC Gamer. The very first post in this thread said as much. :)

This isn't the first year this has happened. In fact, for the last few years the Simpsons' annual "Treehouse of Horror" episode has been postponed until early November due to the World Series.

The "Pacifistic Vegan Tree-Hugger hippie" is right up there with the "Lawful Stupid Paladin" and "Dark, Brooding Antihero" on my list of most annoying D&D character archaetypes.

Yes, World of Warcraft is soloable and yes, it is defiantely worth the $15 a month to play. However, if you limit yourself to solo play, you are really missing out on a lot of the game's appeal; much of the fun of playing World of Warcraft comes from working as a team with other players to...

Tell me that Rick Burton finally intends on releasing the final module in the Paladin Trilogy, and that might just convince me to dust off my copy of NWN and take a break from WoW while I play it. :)

I read Robert E. Howard's Conan novels on a yearly basis. I also reread Lord of the Rings every few years. I've read the first three Dune novels, but after that things just started getting too weird for me. Edgar Rice Burroghs, Fritz Lieber, Michael Moorcock, and Jack Vance are all on my "To...

If you're one of the readers who were put off by the preachiness of some of the more recent titles, you'll be happy to learn that Chainfire takes the focus off of philosphy and focuses more on the war against the Imperial Order. I thought it was one of the better books in the series. Also...

You're right, I did jump the gun, although strictly speaking my statements weren't confined to this thread. I let my annoyance at the "Let's praise Martin every time the subject of Terry Goodkind comes up" crowd override my better judgement. For that I apologize. Cute. Never mind that Lord...

Faith of the Fallen (Book six in the series) is the one where Richard is kidnapped by a Sister of the Dark and taken to the capital of Jageng's Empire in the Old World. While there, he witnesses the severe oppression of the people and sets out on a mission to destroy the Imperial Order from...

I think it has to do with tone. Kai Lord's sig line seems to be intended to uplift and inspire those who read it. Your previous sig line, on the other hand, was a harsh criticism of the very concept of religion.
