Shelved Eve Online while playing AoC. Having a ball with my EU friends. Want to try Mass Effect for the PC.

I agree with most of this. Repetitive, simplistic tech tree, who-has-the-most-ships-wins.

Seconded. I assume you've played KotOR? If not, you should.

I have 2003 at home and 2007 at work. I hate 2007 because I'm always looking for stuff in the Ribbons. I installed this free add-on that gives me the classic UI in 2007 though a ribbon control: http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribboncustomizer/starter.php

Eve Online, corp is out of 0.0 atm, running some missions while watching TV, chillin. Crysis, finished campaign, playing mods. I recommend FirstStrike on crymod (warning: good specs needed) Assassin's Creed, mind-numbingly repetitive, might finish it before the end of the summer. IL-2...

Eve Online got me used to "PVP Anywhere", it is not as free as it seems. Sure, you can kill people in the "safer" areas, but you pay for it as well by being blown up. There is an economical way of doing it, but the victim needs to be extraordinarily dim (for example, walking around with heaps of...

- Eve Online (poke me in the ENWORLD channel) - The Witcher, awesome - Sins of a Solar Empire (although I'm getting tired of it) - IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 with a new Saitek HOTAS and a webcam head tracker - Finished Jade Empire SE - Freespace2, available free online - Waiting for the new rig for...

I've been playing D&D since 1977, this makes me very sad. RIP Gary, and thanks for being part of most of my life.

Our group has been dreaming of an "LCD Table" for our sessions since the 1970s.

Ok, then, you didn't agree. :p Well, it becomes a matter of pure opinion, then. I feel that a permanent blindness effect is unwarranted, since there's no mention of permanent effects (other than damage, and destruction of specific creatures). On the question of housekeeping, well that depends...

It is still vulnerable to disintegrate and disjunction (as well as any other ability meant to destroy magic items). Plus, it can't be brought back to life, AFAIK. Still, great idea. A bit like the One Ring... EDIT: Possibly all it needs is a geas-like ability?

I actually agree with you. IIRC, blindness is not described as a condition that is always permanent. Since the spell has a duration other than instantaneous, and the blindness from the beams is not described as being instantaneous, I would say it only lasts as long as the spell. EDIT: And I...

I read it as being effective right from the first hit. Otherwise, ammunition would not benefit from this property.

Obviously, the description doesn't impose any limits on this. So it's up to the DM to decide if it's broken IHC.

There are no charges. The item gives one ability, to turn/rebuke 4 more times per day. Hence, even if you have two nightsticks in your possession, you would only gain the ability once.

Hmm, not sure about the forms thing, but there's an NPC database in wiki format into which you can contribute: http://d20npcs.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page EDIT: Read a bit better :heh: , and perhaps you could use the same format for your own stuff?

I don't know the subtleties, usually the difference is as trivial as the number of "one-touch" activity buttons. Here's a comparison chart: http://reviews.cnet.com/remote-controls/logitech-harmony-670/4540-7900_7-32109109-4.html

Although a bit more expensive. The Logitech does home automation as well.

You only have to program them once, unless you change components. And there's no cryptic key codes to enter. It's a Web-based interface that does this: 1) Updates with the global consumer product database at Logitech 2) Asks you which models of the stuff you have (even includes a little card on...

I've spent $100 in $20 "universal" remotes, only to find I still need another one for one or two functions. If your $20 remote does the job, more power to you. If, like me, you can't get rid of that second or third remote, go Logitech. The database they have online has just about every consumer...
