Foolish, foolish business model... This game would be great, and I was going to immediately buy it...except that you can only rent it. Screw that. When I buy a game, I want to be able to play it whenever I want, regardless of whether the company that created the game goes out of business...

Re: It's getting to the point... Yeah. I remember the last Olympics (or was it the one before) where the Canadian team was totally shafted during a boxing match. The announcers were even complaining that the judges weren't counting some of the guy's solid hits. It was a disgrace. As much...

If such a law did come into affect (I can't imagine for the life of me how such a law could even be conceived*, let alone passed), it would probably be an unenforceable (and unenforced) as, say, software piracy. I'm sure it would still flourish. I'd still play it. Just because something is...

Enterprise is not the place to go if you want morality tales. "Well, let's see. Last week we doomed an alien species to death so their genetically superior neighbors would take over their planet, so, to balance things out, let's rescue some ruthless, murderous space pirates today. Whaddya...

Has anyone made up any d20(c)(r)(tm) rules for gunpowder and primitive tech in their games (feats, skills, additional combat rules, etc)? I've just been playing Arcanum on my computer for the past week and I think a half-magic, half-early industrial tech world would be fun to roleplay in.

I prefer to use the term Game Master because it hasn't been stripped of its freedom like Dungeon Master has (which is trademarked). :-)

A friend and I half-designed a Christianesque campaign setting. It sports a creator God along with prophecies of a Messiah (I guess that would make it an Old Testament setting). Existence was divvied up into seven planes (more or less): Heaven - Where God and his various species of angels...

You can't take out the evolutionary arguments. That was the *entire* basis of the dilemma. They even made a point that the crewmen felt the superior species was improperly treating the inferior species (akin to your American meddling example), but it didn't seem to be a big dilemma whether or...

I guess I'm in the minority as I didn't like the episode at all. The "moral" of the story was the worst of all. Based on false logic, Archer chooses not to help the aliens? Oh boy... (rimshot) Maybe this'll be the episode where Sam will leap into to "make things right that once went wrong"...

One word: Disenchanter. ;-)

How about The Iron Stein?

Things I liked: - The Balrog: Most amazing CGI creature I've ever seen. Absolutely the most terrifying thing you could possibly meet in the depths of Moria. - The Black Riders: Looked really cool, especially in groups. I didn't much care for their shrieking, but when you think about it, a...

One thing we have to remember when we're nitpicking about character development (eg. Merry & Pippin being buffoons): We've only seen a third of the movie. How much character development is there in the first 30 minutes of a typical movie?
