    Excerpts: Angels

    This is very disappointing. The story and the concept are just not doing it for me. It seems like they've bent over backwards just to provide an excuse for these to be used against players arbitrarily, and in doing so have sacrificed good story-telling. I don't like the way they've handled this...

    D&D 4E New 4e Info! GAMA Tradeshow Scoop

    I understand what you're saying, but it honestly bothers me that beating on your enemies is how you heal people. What people who say "Use your imagination" fail to account for is that the game is supposed to be facilitating imagination. Every mechanic, die roll, calculation and statistic is...

    Female Dragonborn - No longer have breasts?

    Because real lizards with heavy scales don't nurse their young? Dragon scales are pure fantasy. Sure, some lizards have horns and things like that, but the truth is ALL lizards have scales that are supple, like a snake.

    Excerpt: Paragon paths (merged)

    I have this terrible fear that this is multi-classing in 4e. Other than that, everything looks really awesome. I do hope there's more non-combat abilities. In my games information is better than platinum, and my players almost always have a few who specialize in information gathering. Not to...

    A question of ignorance

    There ya go. Sorry if I wasn't clear. Just to clarify, Saga edition is very much the logical progression of d20 modern. With a facelift and a few tweaks here and there it makes for a very fine modern RPG, much better than d20 modern, imo. Anyway, we've been winging a modern/saga system for a...

    A question of ignorance

    I don't know how any of this stuff works, so I'll just throw it out there. I've had a d20 modern / saga edition hybrid kicking around in my head (and I'm sure I'm not the only one), and I was wondering if I'm allowed to compile it and put it on my sig. thanks.

    Scoop - What it means to be elite

    To be elite... an elusive dream, at its least, or the most natural human quest, at its most. Truly, being elite, or l337, (see also 'teh hardcorz', 'pro', or 'Tiger Woods' for related articles,) means to excel in a particular area or field to the point that lesser participants (n00bs) are either...

    Am I crazy...?

    I know that I can't do that, I was just saying that not all digital art sucks.

    Gnomes in 4th edition? Maybe...

    These puns should suffer an iggnomeinious death.

    Simulationism vs. Gamism Deathmatch: There can be only one!

    Read your post, Skeptic. Reeeeally interesting. Used a lot of big words. Well, I didn't the whole thing, but I gave you an A, so who cares?

    Simulationism vs. Gamism Deathmatch: There can be only one!

    You find period appropriate and realistically damaged peasant garb. And, in traditional simulationist fashion, its infected with the black death and the contents of simulationism's bowels at the time of death. Talk about gritty.

    Simulationism vs. Gamism Deathmatch: There can be only one!

    Er, well, gamism won. It had more hit points, and action points. Sorry. There's just nothing we could do.

    Am I crazy...?

    Ahhhhahahahahah hah hah... heh. Whoo! *wipes tear* Moving on! Potentially because of Kim Cattrall. That movie confused the crud out of me. :confused: Which would be unfortunate if true. They do seem to have the portrait thing going, but I understand if you've got something that can do it...

    Am I crazy...?

    ah thanks. I have noticed the same thing, but I think its more likely with the robots than with animation. BUT! You have helped me discover exactly what I don't like. Mannequins. They creeped me out when I was little. And the DDI characters look just like them.

    Am I crazy...?

    But they're still charging video game prices. Really, no thanks guys.

    Am I crazy...?

    Yeah, you have a very valid point. Polish is a big part of the artistic process. And by big I mean important, not long. Its the last touches that always impress me. I hear ya. I'd prefer perfect cartoons to cheap imitations of reality any day. Still, today's graphics artists are cranking out...

    Am I crazy...?

    You really think that these look better than this and this? Maybe I'm not the one who needs a therapist, my friend.

    Am I crazy...?

    It may just be me, but I really dislike the style of 3d art that they're using for the character creator. I'm not a graphic artist by any means, but from my experience viewing other's work it seems to be a very unforgiving medium. Basically, I think the DDI characters, and many other custom art...
