The spider chewbacca bot was brilliant.

People can behave awfully toward one another. Singling out the reasons is an effort in futility. Those same kids might get harassed or bullied for any number of reasons. I'm not advocating bullying in any way or saying that people should accept being abused as part of "doing it right." If I...

Not sure if it really counts as an explanation or opinion. BUT to me, looking monsters up alphabetically is something that can be handled by an index (as can looking monsters up by challenge, terrain, type, etc) rather than overarching book layout/design. Indexes are fewer pages to flip, give...

To me, something worse than weak "geek chic" humor is people bemoaning the tragic personal injury that this has done them. I spent my teen geeky years getting my guts kicked in by a-holes just about every week if I was caught away from my tougher skateboard toting, head-butting friends. I feel...

I believe it is also known under the medical condition, Conventionitis Butticus

I'd say Robin Hood, as mentioned earlier in the thread. Robin Hood has been full on re-imagined (from Foxes to Costner, etc), and rebooted...amply. Robin Hood spreads across just about every type of media through many iterations of pop culture from ballads to comic books. The Arthurian Legend...

For lack of a better analogy I am kind of drawn to the "sunny apocalypse" aspect with its light sprinkling of sci-fi instead of typical magical underpinnings. In some ways it's like Expedition to the Barrier Peaks propped up, taken a little more seriously and spread out across an entire world...

I think I'm looking forward to the setting more than anything else, but I'm prepared to be impressed on the crunch front too. I think Mr. Cook found an interesting niche to explore with a setting like Numenera. Not necessarily because it's blazing any wholly new fictional territory. It just...

If you are looking for a compilation in book form for RE Howard's Conan (not the later pastiches) I'd give a shout out to Coming of Conan the Cimmerian. It presents the stories more or less in the order in which Howard wrote them. I like it because you get a sense of the building of the world...

Take up your forum ban with WotC admins. Venting here may help you cool down, but if the offense was truly a case of overreaction or mistaken intention they may listen to reason. If not, you're no worse off than you are now. Still, sorry to hear of your troubles justmike1976.

I chose "other" because I do both regularly. I thuroughly enjoy digital media, and for that I'll buy books online. I also enjoy ordering physical goods through the devil that is Amazon for friends in disparate locales. But I also feel a sense of duty and community to my local game store...

So hard not to just throw all sorts of money I don't have at this project! I'm holding at my current backer level...the Will saves are increasing in difficulty though.

Based on the last couple updates, it sounds likea bit of disparity between the players' playstyles. Mixing in system mastery players is going to be an excercise in diplomacy if you have more laid back players. That being said, her use of Reduce Person spells on herself is a mistake since her...

The Advanced Bestiary is most certainly awesome (an essential book, really). But it works just fine as-is (in my opinion anyway). Still, if they added more templates and had a reasonable pledge level to get? I'd probably talk myself into backing it.

I made it a bit further in! I will conquer the mountain. I may only end up bloodier for it in the end, but I can at least say I never gave up. And I do agree with you Crothian, inasmuch that Rothfuss has a great way with words, even when he is simply swirling the reader around and around to...

Pretty sure the Aasimar monk is wasting an action on reduce person since she's a native outsider and thus immune (same goes for charm person, hold person, enlarge person, etc). That is unless she has that trait that allows her to be a humanoid, or if there is a house rule at play.

Unless I am planning on investing the majority of my game time to Pathfinder for a year or so, I cut out splat like crazy. My players end up like Amish kids at Radio Shack...look but don't touch. The reason is, system mastery plays very heavily into the fun of a game of 3.X or Pathfinder once...

Okay, so I know I am two years late to the party on this book. That being said, whaaaaaaat am I reading!?!? I am elbows deep in this story (too far to turn back now:p), but the talent Mr. Rothfuss has with flowery prose is the only sugar helping this bitter pill go down. Thus far it is just...

Derp, yeah I simply bombed my reading comprehension check there :-)
