    [June] What are you playing?

    I'm playing Rune right now. I always wanted to play it, and since you can now find it for about $5 in stores and online i didn't have an excuse anymore. So far my impression is this: The story is pretty weak, but the gameplay is great and the maps/levels are pretty darn cool. The...

    Zelda voted best game ever

    Zelda was great, but I have never wished that I could really revisit "those days". For me the games that make me want to timewarp are 1. M.U.L.E. and 2. System Shock 2.

    Troika Games (Arcanum) doing ToEE!?!

    Just getting to dink around with a turn-based 3E engine sounds like fun to me. Throw in a cool-hinder module like this, and Im all ready to go. However, I am sick to death of isometric RPGs. I'll by it and play it for at least 10 hours.

    LotR Based on Beowulf!

    The hobbit was also. The whole encounter with smaug and the bit leading up to it (secret door etc..) is borrowed heavily from the end chunk of Beowulf.

    Messageboard software

    If you are running a windows server, check out the asp.net forums forums. They are free and really fast. I don't think they are highly customizable though.

    So... hmmmm... I need to see it a few more times, but one thing that struck me was how INTENTIONALLY human Haldir's death experience was. Your thoughts?

    Who was originally cast as Aragorn?

    Kid, I *think* I remember reading a quote from Tom Baker where he said that he received the script, but he refused to try out due to the 18 month shooting schedule. Something about he didnt' want to be away from his wife that long. I'm sure someone can pull a reference to that.

    Who was originally cast as Aragorn?

    As a uber David Bowie fan, I can say that he would have been terrible at the part. Everything that Bowie does is larger-than-life. Aside - Don't think bowie looks too old. The guy is like 54. He looks pretty good for that age. He definately has the 1/2-elvish looks about him too.

    Players keeping stats secret

    That little bit of paranoia is often what breathes life into the game. If you want to make is super special: YOU and only YOU, the DM, know how many hitpoints that person has at any given moment. THis includes in combat. I found this to be really fun. You merely describe the chars current...

    Spidey II rumors

    El Niro would be ok, but I was really liking the earlier rumors that it might be Robin Williams. My one worry about nero is that he may try to play it too over-the-top.

    Programming D&D utilities for Microsoft's .NET framework

    When MONO is finished, then at least most windows boxes and Linux boxes will not need to go download the .NET framework. However, I haven't heard of anything being developed for mac. I am wondering if the UI/Form api (wrapped over gtk?) will be 100% compatible with the windows .net UI API. It...
