My condolences to his family, he will be missed. He was one of the great ones, helping to bring our fantasies to life and give vision to words. The piece that most stands out, to me, is his cover for Fire Sea, book two of the Death Gate Cycle. I gives a great "We're soooo screwed" atmosphere.

I'm trying to come up with an alternate dead/dying/disabled/fine setup for my next campaign. I'm thinking of the following: From zero to "character level" in hit points, you're disabled. So, a 20'th level character is disabled at zero through positive 20. With these rules, a character with 10...

An Undead Extravaganza: In the empire of Thay in the eastern Forgotten Realms, a powerful Lawful Neutral necromancer (possibly a lich) has risen to power via a pact with Devilish forces. His plan is to utilize all the dead in the world to aid the living in the form of slave labor, freeing up...

You mean the guy in the beginning? Yea, he presses 4 space 8 space 1 5 space 1 6 space 2 3 space 4 2 execute You can watch his fingers, and although you can't see the labels on the keys from the angles he's filmed from, you can see the position of the keys and count off what key he's actually...

A friend and I were watching the HDTV version on my computer earlier today, trying to notice all the "coincidences" and "numbers" occuring. Going through frame-by-frame, almost, we came to the shower scene, and I paused it to engage in a bit of asshatry; I counted the number of holes in the...

2ed to 3.0ed right here. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/DnD_CYC_intro.asp

That's how I interpreted it, that the two raiders were just nodes along which the video was uploaded. Also, the reporter says "We lost two raiders relaying the images back to the fleet, but I think the sacrafice was worth it." It doesn't say that those were the only two in the area.

That's the problem with New Orleans. It lies in a series of depressions, all below sea level, with the surrounding River and Lake actually being above the city. There is nowhere for the water to go. There doesn't exist a "downhill" for the water to flow to. Biloxi, Gulfport, Mobile, etc...

Semi-local perspective, here, as a former resident of that area, now in Columbia, SC. The whole "New Orleans may not be there in the morning" talk is pretty accurate. Fox News has some of the best, most realistic (and realist) coverage, even moreso than the Weather Channel. We're talking...

Currently reading the entirety of Raymond E. Feist's novels set in Midkemia. I fell in love with Magician: Apprentice many years ago, and read the rest of the books in that series, Magician: Master, Silverthorn, and A Darkness at Sethanon (all together, "The Riftwar Saga"). I just finished the...

Actually, this line made me tear up more than any other in the book, even those dealing with Dumbledore's death. Mostly because it was jarring, in the sense that no other character (that I know of) had something like this happen. Dumby's hand got hurt, but dealt with it and ignored it. Moody...

I gave it a 6. Almost a 7. I found the movie a bit bland. There was some story, some character development, some action, but it just wasn't presented well. The story was indeed very cookie-cutter, the whole thing seemed a little bit over the top (certain angles, phrases, poses, etc.)...

I just got through seeing the trailer, which showed prior to "War of the Worlds." I didn't catch the small-screen viewing, but I have to say, this movie is going to rock. Seeing Kong, the Rex, the girl, everything, it is spectacular. I didn't know that this was going to be shown in the...

Really amazing movie. I gave it a 10/10. I was really impressed by the movie. The visuals are amazing, but the movie doesn't stay "focused" on the SFX as something to rely on. There are several times where they could have gone for the money-shot and showcasing the tripods, but decided to...

I'm really interested in the show. I'd heard a lot about it, but never watched it, until I downloaded all the episodes (season one, and season two episodes one thru three). From that, USA has found itself a new viewer, once I find out what time the show airs. I like both elements shown so...

Gave it a 10, myself. Great movie, great visuals. The origins tale was really well done. Christian Bale is Batman. I hadn't seen any of his stuff before, somehow, so I was basically just hoping he didn't suck. He nailed the role, with the look, the acting, the mannerisms. Not only was it...

I'm going to have to go against popular opinion on this one. While the Vader/Obi-Wan battle of Sith was amazingly spectacular, I feel that the Duel of the Fates in TPM is the best of the fights, at least as how they appeared onscreen. Some of the Sith action was a little too up-close to see...

Definitely go by newegg.com, they tend to have the best prices. Also, their service and shipping are phenomenal. I bought a $60 (with shipping) drive from them recently, an NEC. I'd heard it recommended, bought it, and am quite pleased with it. It has one of the best ratings of the dvd...

As for 2918, I think the writers had the Isaiah verse in mind, and built the 2918 off of it. I mean, Exodous 29:18 says "Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the Lord by fire." Having just escaped a death-trap fueled...

Left Behind is actually based on the series of the same name, written by Tim LeHey and ... the other guy's name escapes me at the moment. It is a very non-Catholic portrayal of the end times, presented in a manner that interpretets the book of Revelation literally. It's not the most...
