    Seriously considering Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (2nd edition)

    My first response to the cancellation of Dungeon and Dragon, was to change my planned campaign to WFRP 2nd ed. It's a very fun game. It does grim and gritty very well. The Jabberwock exists in 2nd ed. It can be found in the Tome of Corruption.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    I think it'd be cool for the last issue of Dragon to have a wizard slaying a dragon on the cover. A gold dragon that is. Just seems appropriate somehow...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    I will definitely miss Dragon and Dungeon. They've been a constant part of what I think of as gaming for as long as I can remember. I have little interest in buying WotC's online content.

    Very, very sad university news

    Just writing to add my prayers and condolences to all who were involved and affected by this event.

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

    The people on the Sci-Fi Channel's forums seem to think series 3 will air sometime this summer/fall. So the wait isn't that long, but it will sure feel like it. :(

    Really random - name of old Showtime(?) movie about adult woman w/imaginary friend

    Sounds like it might have been Drop Dead Fred. I've never really watched though. Wiki link

    Star Trek Federation Ships Achilles Heel

    Correct. You need to be the authorized Armed Forces of a government as well. Starfleet serves as the Armed Forces of the United Federation of Planets. They act as police and explorers/scientists as well, but many militaries past and present have found themselves doing the same. Their...

    The War Nerd on 300

    Thats strange I'm such a history buff that I got my degree, and that's not what I think. I found 300 to be a fun, if almost completely historically inaccurate, movie. That just says the movie is innacurate and then goes into a diatribe supporting the author's personal politics. :\

    Star Trek Federation Ships Achilles Heel

    Obviously the bridge needs to be at the top so they can look out the windows when sensors are down. ;) The super technology that is transporters/replicators should be an effective end to death. The right amount of energy plus a stored pattern should equal instant clone.

    Dresden Files - Storm Front

    I actually think the Dresden Files usually has good acting, just not the pilot. The actors looked very uncomfortable with their parts.

    POLL: Is "In Remembrance" Thread Creepy?

    I don't find it creepy at all. The thread is very useful to find out who is recently deceased in fields of interest I enjoy. Now if it were full of stuff like morgue photos, or bad jokes about the dead, I would find it creepy. :eek:

    Dresden Files - Storm Front

    I'm a fan of both the books and TV series, but I didn't like TV's version of Storm Front. The acting was bad. It might have been because it was the pilot, but the actors did not seem comfortable at all. You could tell the episode was chopped up, and the episode before it felt chopped up as...

    Yo, Yo! GI JOE!

    The same people that watched Saving Private Ryan, the Hunt for Red October, U-571, etc. Just because a movie focuses on an American military unit doesn't mean that it won't have any international appeal. They can get a Destro with an actual Scottish accent and a Baroness with a Russian or...

    Rate 300

    I liked 300 quite a bit, so I gave it an 8. It was a very good popcorn movie, but really didn't stand out a lot in the acting. The visual effects were good. The backdrops seemed surreal, but I would have liked more substance to some of the sets. Sparta's outlying environment definitely...

    Yo, Yo! GI JOE!

    I would prefer Donnie Wahlberg for the part of Duke. I think Mark Wahlberg would be better as Hawk or Flint. I don't think it makes much sense to mix GI Joe and Action Man. :\ Edit: I'd also add Gung Ho to the list of iconic characters that should be in the movie.

    How often do you cheat?

    I "cheat" at most once a session, per player, as long as they're playing smartly, and/or when I roll some incredibly improbable crit. The second time in a session the player faces what I rolled. If the system being played includes some sort of fate/karma/save-character points, I won't do any...

    A Star Wars question for all out there Wiser in the Force than I

    I don't think the trials have ever been precisely defined, and they vary by individual padawans. Building your own lightsaber is either part of the trials or one of the last steps before the trials. The canidate is then tested on their abilites with the force, and their understanding of the...

    LOTR from a gamer's perspective

    The funny thing is the transporter probelms continued into all the other Trek series. Even though by the Next Gen each shuttle has its own transporter system. "Uh, sir, the transporters are down and we've conveniently forgotten about the shuttles ability to fly and their transporters. I say...

    LOTR from a gamer's perspective

    I hear that they kept going off course, and ended up roosting on the Argonath. They sent Sam to clean the stains on the dignity of the kings of old. :eek:
