But...that completely invalidates Chain Lightning's entire point in the reference. What's to admire about a guy choosing the nice hot babe over the famous hot babe? I mean, it'd be no better than a girl choosing the normal decent guy over the superhero decent guy... :p

I thought the Bruce Wayne secret ID was more "arrogant drunken eccentric prick" than "cool guy," personally. ;) But I will cross my fingers along with you for a Superman/Batman team-up movie. :)

Fair enough. I am not claiming there's no validity to this claim, but I personally find this point unconvincing. To strangers, sure. The suave, confident Superman and the timid Clark Kent wouldn't be taken for the same guy. But everyone in the Daily Planet who works with Clark would know, the...

My thoughts exactly. And only because the color of the semi is the color of the robot. Optimus is a red-and-blue sort of 'bot, rather than black-with-flames. Still, even so I'm not really upset. I will be mildly disappointed if he turns up as a fire engine, as I've heard elsewhere (even if I...

This is true. However, Protection from Evil has a finite duration and requires an action to activate. So you need to decide what is best for your particular campaign. If you usually have the extra round to cast Protection from Evil and don't often have more combats than available castings...

Most of the questions you cited are, IMO, not even close to requiring "omniscient" knowledge. They're plainly obvious to someone in a position to know, i.e. someone in the midst of a combat where the questions come up. There are a couple where I might provide slightly vague information. For...

I'd like to see the Joker (and only the Joker) as the villain of the next movie. I don't want the new franchise to fall into the same multi-villain stupidity that the first one did. Just the Joker. I'd love to see Harvey Dent play a prominent role in this movie. Not Two-Face. Just Harvey...

Substitute WoW for City of Heroes, and this perfectly describes my gaming group as well.

Very, very rarely. I think the point of gaming is to let the players be the heroes of the story. I want them to always feel like the big fish. At low levels, it begins as "big fish in a small pond" where they know little of the world--perhaps just their own village/town--but are the elite of...

I do not recall which splatbook actually lists the item. I want to say Complete Arcane but am away from my books atm. It's basically just a Cloak of Resistance moved to the vest slot instead of the cloak slot, for the convenience of sorcerers, bards, and paladins.

I tend to try and combine necessary qualities into as few backup weapons as possible. I'd rather not carry a golfbag full of weapons, after all. You mentioned getting a silver or cold-iron spiked gauntlet. I think this is an excellent idea. I'd go with Cold Iron, since you can always pick up...

Combine that, with this: Prometheus believes that before gaining immortality themselves, the fae were more aggressive and purposeful, instead of the lackadaisical, fickle creatures they are now. He blames immortality for their general purposelessness. So in order to save the faerie race, he's...

This was my first thought as well. It's the one thing the Fae have, that they are known for, that humanity does not, and desperately covets. Also, the idea of an immortal humanity, considering its destructive nature and propensity to rapidly propagate, would strike many faeries as an absolute...

I'm afraid I can't help you there. I do not yet have the series on DVD myself, though I very much want it. :)

I agree. The only problem I had was the girlfriend. She was very much reminiscent of Hackman Lex's squeeze, and interjected too much silliness into Lex's scenes for my taste. Had she been replaced with a more competent henchwoman, he would have come across as more serious in general, and his...

You have obviously ascribed motives to my comments beyond what I put in them. They were originally a friendly warning between DMs. I consider myself a competent DM, but I still make missteps every so often. I certainly wouldn't take offense if I posted about an intended story arc, and another...

It doesn't have anything to do with DM trust. I trust my DM explicitly. It doesn't mean I enjoy having my PC captured. ;) I don't believe I mentioned railroading at all, unless it was to suggest railroading their gear back to them. ;) Rather than trying to control what folks reply with on a...

I sincerely hope, at the end of the day, your players share your point of view. All too often I've seen DMs believe this, only to be shocked by players who did not find it nearly as entertaining. Again, my DM-sense is tingling. Any time you expect your PCs to do one thing, they'll surprise you...

This is spot-on. I've marked the two portions I particularly want to emphasize.

Although it wouldn't be lethal to Superman directly, I can't imagine a mass seven times as large as the one he lifted wouldn't be a problem for him. A rather big problem. Hardly a piece of cake. You're also forgetting that he would have to deal with it immediately after dealing with the...
