    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.5--3/04/07--Arc 16

    I don't think Kara could be a Cylon, else she would have been sick during the episode with the Cylon virus. It's been my suspicion for some time that the Cylon God may be the same being that the 13th tribe worshiped (going on the theory that one of the Lords of Kobol was a patron of each of...

    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.5--3/04/07--Arc 16

    I'm pretty ambivalent as to the episode right now. If she's gone, and they don't explain anything, it sucked. But if they explain something, and it makes sense, I'm all for it. After reading one of the interviews over at Circus Maximus, it sounds like something is forthcoming on that front...

    EN World 2007 fantasy baseball league

    I lurk here mostly, but I'm for this. Sounds fun! I might be persuaded to do the roto league too.

    The OOTS Adventure Game?

    We've played about 4 games during our gaming nights when we didn't have enough players to play anything else. It's a fun game, but it does take a damn long time, even at the lowest end. Last night we finally got to Xykon's lair, and I think they might even have beaten Xykon, but I had to...

    New OotS is up. (#383)

    So how will the Mark of Justice interfere with the Charm Person? Sounds like fun ahead.

    Dungeon #114 - Mad God's Key (spoilers likely)

    Also, don't forget the wizards get a reward for Feather Falling any people who happen to fall near them. 50 GP I think?

    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.0--10/20/06--Arc 3

    So does anyone know where to get a nice hi-res screenshot of Galactica peeking out of the nebula? That's a desktop background right there! Heck, even a shot of Pegasus opening up with her forward batteries would be pretty sweet!

    Heroes...Season 1:Eps:#2 --10/02/06

    Man, a nice little episode. They got me hooked tonight. Nice ending to the episode. Spoilers below:

    Hunters of Dune

    I checked it out from the library too. :-) Funny how people think alike. This is the first book of a Trilogy, according to the list of books in the front of the book. According to the Foreword in the book, they wanted to write the six "prequels" to help flesh out the story to come. The book...

    House of Chains by Stephen Erickson

    Cool, I'll have to go get it then. I already have the UK printing, but I want to keep those rather nice looking, so I've been getting the US ones too. :-) Great series, one of my favorites (because of the deep and detailed plots.

    The Fine Art of Quitting a Bad Game

    In games where we start at a higher level, DMs in the group I've been playing in let players control the loadout, but we have veto power over things that might be overkill. We have had one case in the past three years where one character completely dominated over the rest, and that was in a...

    I have played a...

    I played a wilder in a Dark Sun game (actually a dualclassed Wilder/Rogue). Completely underpowered (even with the Wild Surged Recall Agony), but as he was the only character with maxed out Diplomacy, Bluff, and Sense Motive, he got the characters out of as many jams as he got them into.

    At All Costs, the 13th Honorverse tale(a review)

    If anything the number of treecats have increased. There are more than a few treecats running around the Harrington Steading than there once was, and a couple of the supporting cast now has them. And they have found a way to communicate with humans. So if you consider them annoying, you...

    At All Costs, the 13th Honorverse tale(a review)

    Or the 11th if you count just the Honor books, or 17 if you could the Anthologies and Crown of Slaves. Anyway, David Weber is building up the story even further in this tale, which overlaps for the first 2/3s with Shadow of Saganami, and extends the overarching storyline even further by...

    A Feast for Crows spoiler thread (major honking ones, too)

    Am I the only one who's desperate enough to get Martin's 4th book shipped from England? I thought there would be a spoiler thread here now about this. One thing's for sure. I have to re-read the first three again, and then read this a 4th time. There are a lot of really deep things here...

    Battlestar Galactica:Season 2; Part 4 NSCR/8.5.05

    Yeah, I think that about covers it. I would also say that next week looks like it shows where the Old Man's sympathies lie in all of this.

    Battlestar Galactica:Season 2 7.22.05; Part 1 NSCR

    Well, whatever you do, don't go to the scifi.com main page for BGS. They put fraking spoilers for Ep 10 right on the front page! I'm seriously frustrated by that.

    Battlestar Galactica:SEASON 2 PREMIERE

    Be forewarned that there are spoilers for upcoming eps in the podcast. I'm skipping it for a while for that reason. At least he was very upfront about it in the podcast. I'm very much trying to stay in the dark about this show, and it's becoming exceedingly hard to and read anything about...

    Apple HAS switched to lntel!!!

    Not necessarily. I can't say much more because of the nature of the information here at the conference, but there is very little of that going on, heck, Mathematica 64 compiled for X86 relatively quickly. The question we want to ask is: What kind of performance hit will we be taking by making...

    Mac OS X Tiger

    Dashboard gaming widgets. I'm installing Tiger on my laptop already. In fact, one of my players has already gotten into the act, creating a Deshboard widget to roll dice. I'm looking forward to the potential for gaming for dashboard more and more.
