    New stuff at Origins?

    Hey all, As I cannot get time off in August for GenCon, Origins will be the only major convention for me this year. What new stuff will publishers have available for me to blow my money on this year? -Purple

    What is your favourite Trek series, and why?

    I too went with DS9. While I enjoyed TNG quite a bit, and have really started to get into Enterprise, DS9 to me shows the universe of Star Trek the best. Not just Starfleet, but Bajor and Cardassians all around. It also had some of the best supporting characters - Gul Dukat (the first ~4...

    Just a reminder to everyone in the US, new Farscape starts tonight (4th season) on SciFi, at 10PM EST. Should be fun. -Purple

    wow, we're setting records!

    New record Well, it looks like a new record for today, as well. I'm guessing that a lot of them came from http://slashdot.org/ where the WotC contest was posted as news. That the server hasn't crashed is really good news, as many sites that get listed there often go down under the crush of...

    2nd Printings of WotC Books?

    Well, the way that I discovered that there was a second printing was thanks to the store having one of each. I didn't get the first printing, but remember that one of the big outcrys was that the Halfling Outrider didn't have a BAB, but it is there in the new printing. The other check that I...

    Actually, Sword and Fist has had a 2nd printing. I picked it up about a month ago. -Purple

    [OT] Hockey Fever: The NHL Playoffs Thread Part II

    Well, that certainly was dissappointing. Not just because Colorado lost (although that is a big part of it), but because it really wasn't much of a game. So much of a let down that I turned it off after the first period and watched the Farscape marathon. Anyway, I was hoping and expecting...

    [OT] Hockey Fever: The NHL Playoffs Thread Part II

    Well, the results from last night were unfortunate, but not entirely unexpected. The teams are so evenly matched that game 7 was almost inevitable. Hopefully Colorado can close out the Wings in game 7 - they have much, much more recent experience in playing game 7. They also need to get back...

    [OT] Hockey Fever: The NHL Playoffs Thread Part II

    Avs-Wings Well, game 6 is tonight. On one hand, I want the Avs to win so that they don't have to go back to Detroit, and can rest a bit for the finals. On the other hand, I would like to see another game between these two hands. On the gripping hand, I worry that if they have a game 7 it...

    [OT] Hockey Fever: The NHL Playoffs Thread Part II

    Woohoo! That's the way to play a hockey game. Go Avs. I've been thinking all along that the series will go 7, and what I've seen the past 2 games dosen't change my thinking at all. Punch-Counterpunch, all night long. Here's hoping the Avs can take game 5 so that they don't have to win 2 in...

    [OT] Hockey Fever: The NHL Playoffs Thread Part II

    Yeah, you aren't kidding. I'd give Roy two assists on Red Wing goals last night. He sure hasn't looked sharp at all this series, which is good news from my POV. He can and will turn it up at some point, without a doubt. And Fang? What I think they need to do for Roy to keep him near the net...

    [OT] Hockey Fever: The NHL Playoffs Thread Part II

    Colorado wins 4-3! Well, Chris Drury comes through again. And what a goal it was. I'd put that up for play of the week anytime. :) On another note, this has just been a great year for playoff hockey. I think I've said it again, but it bears repeating. Four series have gone to 7, no sweeps...

    [OT] Miniature Storage Question

    Well, from playing various mini games (GW, Clan War, etc.), I use a Plano tackle box, the kind with removable trays. They are adjustable so that you can fit a lot of different minis in them, and there is a large space in the top that can fit the bigger ones. I've also got a GW case and...

    [OT] Hockey Fever: The NHL Playoffs Thread Part II

    Well, pretty good game through the first two periods. Third kind of sucked, however. On the other hand, the Red Wings did something that they really shouldn't have done - score 5 goals on Roy. While playing for Colorado, he has won every game in the playoffs when that has happened. That...

    [OT] Hockey Fever: The NHL Playoffs Thread Part II

    Yeah buddy! Great game, and the Avs won. Don't bet against St. Patrick. :) Anyway, it was a great game, and I'm hoping that the finals will go 7. I think that the Avs will get killed in the first game, but it will end up very close. Has any team ever won 3 seven game series in the same...

    [OT] Hockey Fever: The NHL Playoffs Thread Part II

    It has been a great year for playoff hockey. While I was rooting for the Habs in the East, I'm really impressed at how well Carolina has played, knocking out the Devils and now Montreal. I could actually see them getting to the finals now, where that would have been a laughable thought before...

    [OT] Hockey Fever: The NHL Playoffs Thread Part II

    Anyone else up watching the Avs-Sharks? I keep telling myself that I should just go to bed, but it's overtime. I'm not really confident of the Avs chances because they don't seem to be all that good in OT, but I guess we'll see. Go Avs! Also, way to go 'Canes. Kind of a shocking score, but...

    Price-Sensitive Gamers

    And a really great game session dosen't? I haven't played much in the past 5 years or so (not at all for over 2 years), but I can still remember details from games ~15 years ago. There are a lot of movies I don't remember as well that I've seen more recently. On the subject of price, the only...

    Recommendations for a good read?

    I've been reading... Based on a recommendation on one of these previous threads, I picked up the Assassin series by Robin Hobb, and really enjoyed them. Just picked up Ship of Magic(?), but haven't started it. The Darkness books by Harry Turtledove are very good as well. The third book just...
