You know how lots of people misspell "Rogue" as "Rouge?" Well, I swear I've seen no more than two or three people spell "Justiciar" correctly since the paragon path was revealed the other day--everybody always types "Justicar" instead. This is doubly irritating since people who misspell...

Are you kidding? Defenders get all the cool toys! Nobody else gets awesome armour like they do, and thus their ACs are likely to be the best in the game.

I don't think the Japanese themselves define the term "anime" as pertaining only to their own animation; they use it to mean cartoons in general. So yes, the animated Conan movie is anime--at least a Japanese person would label it so. ;) Maybe we should clarify by specifying Japanese anime for...

I have all the Dark Horse Conan comics, as well as the complete collection of Howard's original stories. While the Dark Horse adaptations might very well be faithful to the original in terms of plot, they're a lot more lax when it comes to Conan's equipment. Just for fun, let's have a look at...

How do you know the Dark Horse adaptations are "very faithful" if you haven't read the original Howard stories? I'd be willing to bet that Conan is wearing armour--at least a mail/scale hauberk--in more than half of the original Howard tales. A quick flip-through of my Conan collection shows...

I'd never be so shallow as to reject a game just because I didn't like the art, but I can't stand this picture. I don't understand what it is that drives certain people to actually like pictures of characters with unrealistically large swords. Why is that cool? Where's the appeal? Since...

I utterly lack the cultural frame of reference to comprehend what you're saying here. Did I miss out on something? I don't even know what the word "katamari" means. I tried googling the word, and all I got was a bunch of pictures like this...

Historical druids, or none at all, please. I've always viewed the modern fantasy 'druid' archetype as having stolen the name from the pages of history, and then proceeding to make it into something it never was. None of the 'nature priest' BS--that's just misty-eyed modern transcendentalism...

Halflings are also not as small as they used to be. Why should they get an AC bonus?

See, I'm just the opposite. I think Exalted would be a nice little game if you edited out the horrid setting and the Exalted themselves. If you just use Mortals & have the PCs represented as Heroic Mortals, then it can be almost as much fun as D&D. It helps to trim out all the stupid...

If liking that is insane, then call me crazy, 'cause I adored that old weapon vs. armour type modifier table. ;)

So far, I like what I see. The only thing I'm fretting about is the possibility that lightly-armoured characters will be able to equal or beat the Armour Class of characters in heavy armour, once again making heavy armour useless just like in 3rd edition. The stat is called "Armour Class;"...

It amazes me how often the myth that rapiers were invented to oppose armour pops up...

Rob Roy wouldn't have had so much trouble with Roth's character if he'd have worn mail...

Thumbs up, but with the caveat that I want to see heavy armour represented as being more effective than it was in 3e. I miss the days of full plate granting DR 2/per die of damage rolled...

How unfortunate.

How do armored mace-wielding priests not fit into Western fantasy? Western history and fantasy are full of examples of warlike bishops, etc.

QFT. I wouldn't play with a DM who went out of his way to destory my precious gear just because he was bored of throwing only things that inflict damage at his players.

I've always thought Dan Fogelberg's "Leader of the Band" was very mournful.
