    Doctor Who Children in Need - Why have one Doctor, when you can have two?

    I recall hearing rumors about this some time ago, and thought it was great. I'd still love to see a longer reunion though- they were among my favorite shows back when. As Rykion points out, both Christopher Eccleston and Paul McGann would be suitable, and Sylvester McCoy as well. I'm looking...

    D&D 4E Bioware working on 4e Forgotten Realms MMO

    Umm. Okay, maybe I missed in the articles you linked to, but I don't recall seeing it confirmed as definitively being a license.

    D&D 4E Bioware working on 4e Forgotten Realms MMO

    Oddly enough, the report you link to says it doesn't look like it's a licensed title at all:

    D&D 4E Which Classic Module(s) Would You Like to See in 4E?

    I'd like to see X2: Castle Amber done as a supermodule/Adventure Path sort of adventure.

    Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

    Vanden reached into the reward he had been given earlier that day and counted out 40 gold coins for himself and Maugra. "So you know of this historic figure?" he presses.

    DMG to include a "starter town".

    Actually, I think it would work out perfectly in its original context (ie, X1/Expert set). The Known World in those days would have meshed pretty well with the "Points of Light" notion. It's only after the development of the world through the Gazetteers and Dragon articles that it became...

    DMG to include a "starter town".

    I'd love to see it be Threshold myself, though I suspect the suggestion of Hommlet is more likely. Was Verbobonc ever a really big name in towns? I seem to recall it was for some reason, but I'm not enough of a Greyhawk afficianado to say for sure.

    Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

    Vanden bows his head politely. "Good day, sir. I am Vanden and my companion is Maugra Ironcrane. We are seeking information on..." he thinks a moment. "Histories- specifically pertaining to early construction in Ptolus. Predating the Stonelost arrival." Recalling Eror's suggestion, he adds...

    Guild Wars

    Wahoo! Finally beat Prophecies today, so now I'll probably go ahead and buy Eye of the North (wanted to finish one of the three campaigns first).

    Hulk smash!

    Yes- not very practical at all. That hard drive isn't getting any cooling, pretty much.

    Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

    "Perhaps before the dwarves, then? Do you know of any construction that predated the Tuen arrival? The runes we copied down..." he unrolls the copy he made in the sewers, holding it out towards Eror. "They were written in Draconic, I am told."

    Is the Doctor's name really Doctor Who?

    I hope there's an episode sometime where the Doctor meets up with a Chinese doctor named Doctor Hu.

    Guild Wars

    The one I'm having trouble with is that dang Master of Whispers Dzagonur Bastion (sp?) mission in Nightfall. Is that the most difficult mission or what? :(

    Elemental Planes Killed

    I think this is probably the best way to handle it, if you want to mix existing cosmologies with the new, but at the same time I can't help but think- well, isn't that what the Prime Plane was supposed to represent? The admixture of elements, with the elemental planes themselves being the edges...

    How about "Witch" instead of "Warlock"?

    Don't know how germane it is to the topic- since it may have been more of a TSR knee-jerk reaction to the PC era than anything else- but back in the day TSR made a bunch of changes to class names presumably for fear of offending the Wicca movement. From Wicca to Witch-Doctor to Wokan (which they...

    Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

    Vanden kept suitably silent during Maugra's meeting with her superior, not wishing to interrupt or (possibly) get her into any more trouble- her forays certainly don't seem to have engendered goodwill with her temple, despite their end result. He marvels at the construction around them as...

    No Love for the Dragon Turtle?

    One word: Bowser. :)

    What Supplement Monsters Deserve a Promotion to Core?

    I like the Nilshai from Unapproachable East myself, but I don't see them making the cut with no Ethereal Plane. :( (Not that they couldn't be reworked to not mention the Ethereal easily, but I don't see the designers bothering.)

    Bionic Woman- Season 1 [Pilot] 9/2007

    Exactly. It was such a hamfisted, unrealistic way of filling us in on the characters. Who talks like that? I don't know about you, but I don't generally go around telling my friends and acquaintances what my job and hobbies are like they don't know me, like I need to break the fourth wall for...

    Bionic Woman- Season 1 [Pilot] 9/2007

    I stopped watching after the first five minutes- I just couldn't get past the horrible dialogue and hamhanded scripting. The exchange between BW and her boyfriend was awful- (paraphrased) Her: "I'm a bartender and a college dropout, I just don't see what future I have with you, a professor..."...
