Well, it's Syfy now... :p I don't think it's so simple that Syfy (via NBCU) can simply grab shows that were canceled. For one thing, for shows on another network like Fox, the network retains the rights to those shows. Those rights can be sold, but in practice that rarely happens. Another...

I'm making a citizen's warning right now! Listen folks, no... Wait. Why can't I get red? Come on red! REEEEEEEEEED! :rant: Okay, here we... aw crap. Screw it, green it is. Listen, we don't want to tell you again, no posting in closed threads, or we'll be forced to citizen's ban you! :p

The point stands, but I think you meant another show here. :) For all that Fox catches a lot of flak, they really did have a good track record as far as giving sci-fi shows a chance to at least see air when the big three wouldn't even touch them. Not to mention something like Fringe, which is...

Same for us when we played through it. The concept was scary enough that the effect never came into play. That's what made it awesome though. As for the encounter, our GM changed it to a demonic minotaur, in keeping with the general themes of the adventure. He made sure it could shove us...

Are they water-soluble? Or do you need to use something ammonia-based (Windex) or alcohol-based (rubbing alcohol/hand sanitizer) to get them off?

No need to guess, they confirmed in the Podcast the Fey Pact Hexblade gets a rapier.

I don't disagree that Andromeda was light watching. However, in any discussion about Andromeda, I have to point out that the creator and executive producer, Robert Hewitt Wolfe, was basically forced out in the middle of the second season. Basically, the producers wanted it dumbed down and all...

Advertising is a funny thing. Right now, nothing anyone does to watch the show after three days really matters. Advertising rates are based off a metric called C+3; basically, the number of people who watched commercials within three days of air. If you look at a comparison of Live+SD (live...

If the stakes weren't any dire enough, Caprica has been canceled. Seeing as how the shows are pulling similar numbers, whereas Warehouse 13 was doing three times the viewers a month or so ago, it's not looking good. Definitely not the time you wanted an episode like this.

First thing I thought too - that's a very dangerous procedure to do if you don't know anyone's blood type. Otherwise, I agree with Hand of Evil - complete and utter waste of an hour. This is exactly the kind of episode SGU should not be airing if they want a third season.

It was mentioned in a previous SGU thread that you can still see them 8 days after air on Syfy's website.

From the podcast, it's primarily melee, although they hinted there would be some close bursts and the like. Additionally, they specifically mentioned a Hexblade taking some regular Warlock abilities to pick up some range. They mention the two builds as well - Fey Pact uses rapiers as a pact...

Why not say that anyway? Doesn't need to be any mechanical tie-in for it. Plus, it's awesome.

I think Energy is a safer bet, but I also avoid going into melee whenever possible. Guns should work as well as long as you stick to two ammo types. 5.56mm is probably the best; there's a bunch of weapons that use it. 10mm is good for a pistol and fairly common. If you're really into...

Except no, you only get one effect. Per PHB3 by way of compendium (emphasis mine):

You're not the only person I've talked to that has stated those sentiments. That's why I'm not convinced it was solely the advertising.

I don't think Plots & Places is appropriate - it's neither a plot nor a place. Basically (my players don't read!) . Giving it some thought, since we play 4E, I'm going to post it to 4E, and if the mods want to move it, so be it.

I need some advice for something I'm cooking up (as a DM) for my next game. I'm running a 4E game, but the concept doesn't necessarily have to be edition (or even system) specific. That said, most of my current ideas are in the framework of 4E. Should this go in General or 4E Discussion?

I don't have a problem with pay to play, or whatever policies (even stupid ones) a store owner chooses to implement. The owner doesn't need to justify store policies - they own the store. As demonstrated in this thread, we all have the choice to shop there or not. Going back to the theory...

Yeah, it's a real shame. I'm not sure what is responsible for the terrible showing either. At first articles I read blamed the advertising, but with how quickly it dropped viewers I'm not convinced of that. I think it's one part not fitting with FX's style and one part intelligent, serious...
