    [Feb05] What are you reading?

    That's a good book. I recently finished reading through the entire four-book series. The last one, Something Rotten, has a very surprising ending. The books I'm reading: - The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse by Robert Rankin, detective novel set in a city of intelligent toys where...

    Venture Brothers..Like it or not and why?

    I rather like the show, and hope it gets another few seasons. The last I'd heard is that Adult Swim hasn't decided whether or not to renew it.

    You knew this was coming. Who will die in the next Harry Potter book

    Yeah, I really wouldn't put that type of plan past old Dumbledore. Nice idea.

    Firefly bores me...

    It did, and I think it was canceled a little more annoyingly than Firefly which at least didn't have a cliffhanger at the end of the last episode. I noticed that of the four dramas Fox started that year, not one got a second season.

    And here they are... Official Human 'Subraces'

    In Dragon #319, the Dark Sun 3e issue, there is a race called humans quite different from the Player's Handbook version. I think the name athasian would be suitable if both were used in one campaign.

    [Dec] What are you reading?

    I also recently read this and rather liked it. I like to keep a few books going at once, reading a chapter of one and switching to the next. My current set follows: Stars and Stripes Forever by Harry Harrison, an alternate history novel about Britain joining the Confederates in the...

    Who are your favorite characters from fantasy & sci-fi stories?

    I feel I must add that I, too, think Discworld is great. A good science fiction character is Ax from K. A. Applegate's Animorphs series. According to him, the cinnamon roll is humanity's greatest achievement. I also think Squee from Magic: the Gathering is quite funny.

    Anakin (spoilers and speculation)

    Anakin's eyes glow, eh? Considering that, his path to evil, and his deep voice, I think it's quite clear that he was taken by a Goa'uld. :lol: It fits everything.

    Should I read "The War of the Worlds"

    You may also like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic books, as the second volume is largely based on The War of the Worlds with several other classic refferences, Wells and otherwise. I just recently ordered a single-volume edition of The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, and The...

    D&D Reference on Venture Bros.

    To clarify, my point was that there should have been no chance of it working. Who would want to do that is another matter entirely.

    D&D Reference on Venture Bros.

    I remember the Tetsusaiga card as well as one speculaing that Bender's chest was like a futuristic bag of holding. If you know what that means, you need help. Did anyone else think it was weird that, in a room full of D&D players, no one complained about an attempt to seduce a most likely...

    the decline of reality TV

    Personally, I reserve the term "reality show" for shows that just find a situation and air it, like Cops. Shows like The Real World that create situations just to see what happens are social experiments, and shows like Survivor with contests that take several episode to resolve are extended...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

    This is a great story so far. I wonder if this Marian Ravelsdotter is at all related to her fellow night hag Ravel Puzzelwell from Planescape: Torment.

    Why does Undead=Evil

    I believe you mean Midnight, published by Fantasy Flight Games.

    Why does Undead=Evil

    I'm pretty sure you mean Deities and Demigods. My position is that people who think that all undead are evil should take their logic a step further and call all the living good. Also, I have no idea of what the RAW is.
