The necromancer article looks pretty interesting, and I can usually pull stuff out of the toolbox articles, regardless of the monthly theme. So far, it was the Stronghold Builder issue that I found particularly useless. Most of my players (from the two groups I DM for) have little or no...

ye gads He does that on purpose, right? I mean, it is deliberately bad, yes? -Reddist

Ebert's review Wow, that's harsh :) Just about anything is better than Battlefield Earth. The book is a nice (long) brainless romp, but the movie blew goats. Really. I'd put RoF just a bit below Pitch Black. Its a B movie, sure, not meant to deal with "issues" or "character development" or...

~2 hrs of brainless entertainment Easily the best theatrical depiction of dragons since Dragonslayer (which will always have place in my heart). I liked the holes torn in the wings. Nice touch. Not going to win any awards, though. And I would have liked to see the "dragon conquest" filled...

Re: Re: Opening night Nah, I'm lucky enough to live close to a newer well-equipped theater... good picture, good sound, nice large screen with decent seating... and rarely are the midnight shows interrupted by screaming babies:) Sure, sometimes you get the jerk who thinks he is so FREAKISHLY...

Re: Is it me? Maybe it's just me... It was my understanding that the dragons were "dormant" for some reason or other, and just recently woke up. Imagine their suprirse.... I'll find out tomorrow and get back to you :) Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me.... -Reddist

Zelazny and Herbert I'm a huge fan Of Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber and the Dune series (yes, all of them, but only the originals. The "prequels" are wannabes). I've read both series numberable times, and intend to keep on re-reading them every few years or so. The Dune books do have...

Opening night Personally I love seeing the big genre flicks on opening nights with packed crowded theaters. Its part of "the experience." Starwars I, II, LotR, all were the 12:01 midnight shows for me and my friends, and we wouldn't do it any other way. Everybody is a fan, all there for the...

Some other thoughts Don't come at them with only physical attacks. Breath weapons, touch attacks, incorporeal creatures, spells, spell-like abilities, all circumvent some or most of the PCs armor bonuses. AC 31? Send some psionic goblins with class levels and wands of lightning bolts at...

shamless plug If you want a free game that still is complex enough to be challenging and interesting enough to be entertaining, you might try some of the larger MUDS. My personal favorite is RetroMud. I know many couples from Retro who play together just to keep in touch. Hell, one guy...

Ted and WotC Ya know, there are rumors about a Forgotten Realms syndicated TV show floating about the web. Check out scifi.com and your other regular genre news sources, if you haven't head about it. I think it'd be hysterical if Teddy was talking to WotC about putting the FR TV show on his...

Hey There MN! Michelle_Nephew, or other Atlas representative-- If you haven't seen yet, the critters have been posted and voting is underway. There is some stuff related to the errata posted on this thread you might want to be aware of. The thread is at...

"wrongly-sized" entrants I agree the errata was poorly publicized, but it does create some qualitative differences between those that saw it and those that did not. Especially if they want to tie the description to the miniature when it is published, rather than just for the contest. Its...

Re: Errata on size? True, but it also unfair to those entrants who followed the rules and paid attention to what Atlas said about their contest. To give equal consideration to those that didn't follow the errated rules or blatantly ignored them (a possibility) is akin snubbing those that...

errata thread Here's the thread, if you don't want to go digging for it... http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16263 -Reddist

futher Disqualifications? Oy- It seems that many of the authors did not see the errata that was posted for this contest. The figure is on a base that is 1x3 inches, thus the monster is 5x15. The errata stated that qualifying monsters must be 5x15, to go along with the figure. This was...

Setting announcements and GenCon Somebody a while back mentioned WotC might have some news about those moving to the second round at GenCon. Duh! WotC had originally scheduled to announce the Big Three right before GenCon. It would make great news and good PR for them at the convention...

IP vs open doors Oy- At $.05 a word (granted, thats the high end of the scale), two pages of text w/ approximately 700 words per page comes to roughly $70, give or take some with word count or page length. A submission of this nature probably should not take more than three type written...

Oy, I just noticed the errata stating the monster description needs to be for a 5x15 ft. critter, yet I do not see any amendments to the .rtf file describing the contest that this is in fact a truth. Is it so? I'll need to resend my entry, for sure. Hell, I'll have to change the whole thing...

duh... Alright, I get it. Mages and rogues might come later:) I'll just save these until THOSE contests roll around.... -Reddist
