There's a statistic that's missing here, it seems to me. Namely, when the melee folk aren't getting full attacks, what are the monsters doing? It's been my experience that the main thing that keeps melee folk from getting full attacks is when the enemy chooses not to trade blows with them, and...

Hey gang, I have a proposed item that I'd like to get some opinions on. Circlet of Unearthly Grace. While wearing this golden circlet, you partially gain the unearthly grace of a Nymph. You gain a deflection bonus to your AC equal to your Charisma modifier. So, the questions: 1. Would you...

So your level 4 character was kicked out of the Lower Planes because, at level 4, he tried to take on Orcus or Asmodeus? :p

I could totally get behind a Thundarr movie. Ooka, ride! :p They aren't trucks, they're robots in the shape of trucks. Perhaps you're referring to the fact that they can actually move? I'd imagine that if you have the technology to create a giant robot, you're going to have more than...

I don't like to ask players specifically for plot hooks, mainly because a) I think doing so creates an expectation that they be followed, and b) it ruins most of the surprise of the campaign. At the start of each campaign, I send out a questionnaire to my players, asking them for their goals...

Ah. My bad. :o Though in that light, I doubt it. I imagine they'd try out the character in a tried-and-true formula, then see how things go from there. They weren't writing Magneto or Wolverine movies until after those parts had been cast and accepted by the viewing public. I imagine that...

Unless the Joker was a far more integral part of the Catwoman mythos than I've been led to believe, I doubt it.

Pee Wee's Playhouse, Tom Goes to the Mayor, Saved by the Bell... I still watch stuff on CN. But it's no longer something I can depend on to have good late-night programming. These days I'm just as likely to have to turn the channel in disgust as I am to be able to set down the remote. :(

I disagree. I like the idea of a good man broken by one act of horror. It adds tragedy to the figure. It gives Batman a reason to regret whoopin' on him when the need presents itself. If he was on the road to whacko from the beginning, it robs the character of a lot of sympathy, IMO.

The problem isn't the game. The problem is that the players in question don't know when or how to curb their conversation regarding it. An MMO is a shared experience. It's the same as two people who work together talking about work in their off-hours. Since they spend so much time together...

One of those trucks that converts into a giant boombox, MTV-style. :p

Well, I think I probably qualify as a fan. I liked the series as a boy. I had a ton of the toys. I was seriously considering buying a die-cast remake of Optimus Prime at one point recently, then couldn't find it again when I had decided to buy it. :p I am very pleased with the decision...

Actually, no. I am far more comfortable with the creators saying, "no, this wouldn't work in the real world, but just let it go for the movie/comic/etc." than I am with them attempting to create some kind of logic to explain the absurdity, which is itself equally absurd. The idea of psionic...

Sounded interesting until you got to the part about Superman's psychic powers changing the images on film.

As silly as metal skeleton death robots from the future coming back in time to assassinate a resistance leader, speaking with a thick Austrian accent. With good f/x and a good script, this movie will be great. The concept isn't even close to the craziest Hollywood had found a way to make work.

Hrm, some google searching reveals that Man of Steel #4 predates Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman by seven years. Couldn't find anything on the content of Man of Steel #4, but if there's a reference in there, then it looks like it was Hollywood borrowing from the comic at this...

It depends on the interpretation. In Kingdom Come, an older Superman looks older, complete with graying hair. I seem to recall that the older Superman in Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns looked pretty much the same as always. Yes. Lois and Clark introduced the idea of Superman shaving with...

Relationships are a part of life, even if you don't RP the particulars (since it's rarely interesting for the other party members while you're doing so, setting aside any awkwardness regarding PC versus player/DM sexuality.) Our current game has two relationships. Our human ranger is married...

I voted "let's just hang out together and see what happens." I as an individual am very interested in a campaign's story and, luckily for me, my current DM is running a campaign he's been working on for the last fifteen years, so it's incredibly deep and layered, with new revelations coming...

Fair enough, we can agree to disagree. I've never met the coworker who could come to work one day wearing (or not wearing) glasses, and convince me they were somebody else. Even when I was doing theatre work in college, I can't think of a one of them that was so good an actor that a pair of...
