    Your favorite Doctor (who)

    I'll try my hand at favorite storyline by Doctor. Though it has been almost 20 years since I watched some of them, so my memory may be off. 1. The Daleks. The first appearance of my second favorite Who monster. 2. The Tomb of the Cybermen. My favorite Who monsters and one of the few 2nd Doctor...

    Your favorite Doctor (who)

    It's hard to rate the Doctors as I have enjoyed watching all of them. 1) Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) A Doctor with depth and great humour. 2) Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) Most fun of the original series. 3) Fifth Doctor (Peter Davidson) The compassionate Doctor. 4) Seventh Doctor (Sylvester...

    Doctor Who 2007, Episode 1: "Smith and Jones" (Spoilers likely)

    Liz Shaw and Harry Sullivan were medical doctors. Liz also had degrees in other scientific fields. Grace Holloway was also a doctor, but she only appeared in the 8th Doctor's sole story so might not be considered a companion. Zoe and Adric were both mathematical geniuses. Romana was a...

    Transformers: Animated

    It looks more like a sequel to the old GoBots cartoon than anything having to do with Transformers. Most of the story ideas seem okay, but the character models just look bad.

    [SWSE] Should Jedis get Persuasion as a class skill?

    That's what I was thinking. Adept Negotiator plus Force Persuasion plus Skill Focus Use the Force equals 10 + 1/2 lvl + CHA mod against Will def to take someone down the condition track a level. That can be very powerful against high Reflex def combat oriented characters. Not to mention that...

    [SWSE] Should Jedis get Persuasion as a class skill?

    Not really an oversight at all. At level 3 the jedi can pick up the Force Persuasion talent that lets a jedi use her Use the Force check modifiers in place of the Persuasion skill and count as trained. Thus you can be a good jedi diplomat at level 3, which is still a Padawan ranked jedi. Jedi...

    A WH40K Movie, Possible or Not?

    They were working on a completely CGI movie based on the Bloodquest comics, but it died because they didn't get any studio funding. Here's a link to a demo trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpEY630UaMg There is a German 40k fan movie that has been worked on for several years. I believe...

    Star Wars Saga, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    It's been there for a few days now. The link is from Saga Edition corebook page, not the downloads page. Here is a direct link. http://www.wizards.com/starwars/downloads/SW_charsheet.pdf

    Star Wars: Force Unleashed (Saga Edition)

    It's possible they'll release as scheduled, but tie-ins to a media project that has been pushed back usually get pushed back themselves. I suspect the minis might be released as planned, but the campaign guide is likley to get pushed back if it has storyline spoilers from the game. Depending...

    Star Wars Saga, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    I really like the feel of the rules for the Saga Edition. It's the first D20 Star wars ruleset that has convinced me to run it over WEG's version. It does have some typos and omissions though. My understanding is that part of the rule for autofire got cut out of the book. If the attack roll...

    Star Wars: Force Unleashed (Saga Edition)

    I haven't heard anything about the sourcebook other than at Amazon. The videogame has been delayed to next year, so it's very likely the sourcebook will be too.

    I got the saga edition

    I'm sure all Jedi have practiced blocking energy/blaster shots, it's one of the first things we see Luke practice afterall. They all should have some skill, but reflex defense is abstract enough to cover it. I would think the lighsaber combat talent tree is for those Jedi who are masters of...

    I got the saga edition

    I would say so based on the scene with Jedi fighting in the arena at the end of AotC. There were quite a few that didn't seem too proficient at blocking or reflecting blasters.

    25 Years of Dungeons and Dragons

    That's a very impressive run for a gaming group. It's also amazing that you remember the date you started. :cool: I've been gaming for 25 years now, but can't remember the exact annivesary. It's been more than 23 years since I've seen the members of my first gaming group, with the exception...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    :confused: I guess that might have been what the Lorax meant, but then I don't understand [his] response as I mentioned they would have to follow the rules, meaning the comparatively simple OGL. I was just pointing out the irony that now the D20/OGL market has provided an easy way for them to...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    Nope. As long as they are reproducing OGC only, and they include the OGL and give credit to the original sources in Section 15. They probably have to type it out rather than directly copying the original sources' pages. The whole point of the OGL is to allow use of the work without requiring...

    The Basic Fantasy RPG roxxorz!

    Thanks for the heads-up on these rules. They look pretty good, and seem to be the kind of simple style I've been looking for with a little old school flavor.

    28 Weeks Later

    The whole Venus space probe radiation was also mentioned in the original Night of the Living Dead. It mentioned that the radiation mutated the recently deceased so that their brains reactivated. I guess they are actually mutant zombies. Does that mean Romero should have advertised them as...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    The whole Basic Books, Inc. v. Kinko's Graphics Corp case doesn't have much to do with someone going into a copy store with a PDF and receipt for the purchase of said PDF and asking to get a single copy made. Kinko's was actively seeking business from Colleges by sending brochures that implied...
