Thought it was a fun summer movie - lots of action and some good lines in there. If the movie ends up having legs and becomes profitable, I wonder if, "today, we're canceling the Apocalypse" will be up there with "and today is our Independence Day" from Bill Pullman in terms of near apocalypse...

There is a ton I didn't pick up on my first reading of A Game of Thrones. I didn't realize that in nearly every Ned Stark POV chapter, there is a flashback to "Promise me, Ned" - or, that one of the people who taught Mirri Maaz Duur healing was a Maester named Marwyn, who pops up in A Feast for...

Since the Wheel of Time series has finally finished, I started it over from the beginning. I just started Book 10 - Crossroads of Twilight. I think I gave up somewhere around Path of Daggers before, then forgot about the series when I learned Jordan passed away. However, once I saw that...

I think differences by sex and race can be handled by an RPG, but not up front with the characters. I think all the characters should start off with an even footing, in terms of adjustments for Strength, Intelligence, etc. Where I think it belongs is in the background/fluff/flavor text in...

Nothing regularly. The only ones I've read over the years have been Dragon and White Dwarf. A bit of Dungeon, but rarely.

I haven't looked closely at the D&D Next rules yet, but I liked what we did in my 3.5E game - I hammered the PCs (big group with 8 players at the end) with everything, including the kitchen sink. But, the PCs had a cleric and a psion, plus a regular NPC cleric ally and all of them had access to...

which is how, may I ask? I don't really recall the class

and, to be honest, I know very little about D&D Next. When it was first announced last summer, I was in the process of finishing up a 4E campaign, and not long after that, my wife took a job to relocate to another part of Connecticut. We were so focused on moving for a few months (thankfully...

What's a thread on the internet without complaints that it's the end of the world and posters that disagree with you are Hitler? ;)

Your item #1 would probably be my other top thing - fast combat. 3E and 4E combats were a real grind for me as a DM

#1 is huge for me. I thought 3E and 4E lost something because magic items were expected.

Thanks - didn't look that closely, as my quick look said Whispering Cairn was set in Greyhawk, so I assumed it was WotC.

Loved Ravenloft when I ran it many years ago in college, so I can see it as #1. It did do a great job of setting atmosphere compared to previous published modules. Was this list limited to just official TSR/WotC material? I would have expected to have seen at least one Paizo Adventure Path on...

I didn't hate 4E and ran a 2 year long campaign using 4E rules. However, I don't recall many official 4E adventures out there - maybe if it had lasted longer, we'd have gotten more adventures for it?

Agree on the AP books themselves - they have a lot of good material in them besides the encounters.

You might enjoy this little comic strip as well: (Huge spoilers for those who have not read A Storm of Swords...) http://mccomseycomix.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/the-red-viper-vs-the-mountain-that-rides-a-12-page-comic/

I personally think they should get the guy who played Andre the Giant in the biopic - Daniel Gilchrist - who is 7'7". Just think how that would look next to Pedro Pascal, who seems to be average height, at best.

For most of the big showdown, Whyte will be armored in full plate, so there shouldn't be much difference between Stevens & Whyte. Whyte is only slightly thinner than Stevens and may even be an inch taller, if I recall. Just put in some shoulder padding and give his armor the same couters and...

Pedro Pascal, of Graceland, the Good Wife, Nikita and several other shows... (even had a small role in one Buffy episode in Season 4). One of my favorite characters in all the five books. http://omg.yahoo.com/news/game-thrones-casts-red-viper-season-4-213338935.html

XP'd for you
