I'm not a fan of musicals, so I'm not terribly interested in the movie. The cinematography looks wonderful though. I would not want to meet a knife-wielding coked-up Andy Dick on the streets at night.

I loved the finale, and if the Harmon-less fourth season sucks at least there's an actual finale (much like Scrubs). That said, I'm not opposed to a Harmon-less Community. While a lot of fans will say he made the show, I'm not inclined to dismiss the efforts of the cast and crew so readily...

The main reason I see for feats versus traits is that in a unified system inevitably feats that didn't improve your combat ability were weaker than those that did. The whole goal of the theme/feat and background/trait separation is an attempt to separate two competing systems and make them...

Plus you automatically step through when you cast it, so you can't set it up in advance.

I was hoping for the same thing, but in the end I think it's a very good sign that this isn't even a beta test, but more like an "alpha test." It signals to me that our opinion and input does matter, and that the development time isn't so short that the playtest is a formality.

The major issue here isn't really piracy. It is one issue, but piracy existed before the internet, before CDs, and even before tapes. In fact, I'm not even sure there is a major issue in the digital age, just a congruence of issues: 1) People tend to forget this, but the record companies do...

Not in the same metric of the D2/TP cheese. If you're in a position where the only way out would be the D2/TP trick in D3, you're probably dead. All of the classes have skills that can help defensively/evasively, but D3 requires you to play more tactically than D2 did. Crowd control is going...

If you look at the three design pillars WotC is fond of talking about (Exploration, Roleplaying, Combat), Rogue is the one that excels at the exploration pillar. They do have a foundation in the other two (and I'd argue are probably the most balanced in that light), but from day one they've...

No, because then he will be forced at whip... point... er... to help finish Card Hunter. Not that I'm excited about it or anything. :heh:

Exactly this. Some spells may scale by level, but it's going to be the spell effect that determines what level it's ultimately slotted into. There won't be a first level version of Wish, because the spell effect is so potent. Contrast that with Fireball - damage in a radius. Not exactly...

Remus Lupin has it right - showing this makes a little more obtuse. In the book GRRM can take a little while to make the implication more clear. With the amount of exposition needed simply to tell the story on TV, it's a lot quicker and easier to spell it out.

If we're assuming the Theme/Background dichotomy still applies, then I could see crafting working in either system. For a background, it's a relatively trivial thing because mundane crafting generally only applicable for a short duration of a character's life. Sure, there are ways to expand...

Overall I thought it was okay, but not great, which was about what I expected. I didn't like the general structure of the episode. It felt more like a series of vignettes than an actual cut together episode. The scenes didn't really flow into each other and transitions felt clunky. I...

I've gotten the impression that the "spell effect threshold" is really a way to bring back some of the cooler "save or die" effects without having them be hideously overpowered. See GX.Sigma's post for 3E examples. For a 4E example, I was thinking along the lines the Executioner Assassin's...

Q1: Solo Monsters I'm not sure I get the outcry of dropping the "solo" designation. 2E had rough designations as well - the Organization entry. I'm confident that whatever direction the designers plan to take, it will include monsters designed to be a challenge by themselves, and those...

I wouldn't say that for sure. That line (and everything in the question) is in reference to their "bounded accuracy system," which they specifically say they are "exploring." This implies if it doesn't work, they'll change it.

For the record, May 15th is the official release date. Since most games are released on Tuesday, May 18th (a Friday) seems odd to me. I don't really care about the AH at all - I don't intend on playing it with other people. Even if I were, I don't really care if people want to spend money to...

The video is good, I highly suggest watching it.

To use a Firefly/Serenity quote to appease Kzach... "I don't disagree on any particular point." I actually do disagree on one implication - you imply that the ratings of shows on other networks matters. While it's certainly true that a popular show can result in other shows in the time slot...

Terra Nova wasn't cancelled because it was bad or because it was scifi. It was cancelled because it was tremendously expensive, required huge lead times in production, and needed huge numbers just to break even. The ratings for TN were about average for Fox scripted prime-time shows. For any...
