My account is now listed as "inactive" but I never got a mail from PayPal about cancelation. Furthermore, I should have had enough funds on my credit card on the date of my renewal, so the payment should have gone through. I'll investigate some more tonight when I get home from work. Found the...

Best game of the World Cup, without a doubt. I cheered for Germany, but it was actually painful to watch at times - English defense was non-existent.

If we're talking about 3.x (pre-Spellplague) Realms, there are only two instances of magic that are "outside the Weave:" Shadow Weave magic and Spellfire. Divine magic uses Weave as the interface just as Arcane magic does. Thus, by the book, binders use either the Weave or the Shadow Weave. If...

Yup. And as it turned out, we did screw up. Incidentally, I wasn't aware that we were supposed to be playing rugby. Australians committed twenty-five fouls against our team; and yet, they got only a couple of yellow cards. The mind boggles.

The new front page looks fantastic, if we ignore the gigantic twitter ad. I hope it's an ad, anyway, because I hope you've been getting some money from them for all that promotion.

How does that work for a multi-billion property like the Transformers, which often has varying continuities* within the same product lines? Arguably, the Transformers has it all: movies, TV shows, webizodes, toys, comics, conventions, board games, computer games... and yet, going by the above...

I wasn't arguing that Advanced D&D should be the central property. IMO, the central property should be a live action TV show or a cartoon. Hasbro is launching a new TV network, and I'm honestly surprised that they aren't utilizing WotC's brands for it.

True. Which is why I think WotC should seriously consider splitting D&D into "Basic" and "Advanced" once more. Furthermore, D&D: TCG, D&D Encounters, D&D board games, D&D (flavored) video games, D&D comics, D&D cartoons, D&D live action shows, and so on could all coexist peacefully without...

I find accents to be tiresome and distracting from the actual RPing experience, but that's just me.

Ah. Nice example. Must be at least a part of the reason why I haven't met a living soul who actually likes the two Matrix sequels (while everyone likes the first Matrix movie). I prefer my media to be stand-alone. Tie-ins are nice, but shouldn't be required for the experience. I also...

Can someone enlighten me as to what exactly is transmedia, and name a few large corporations embracing this concept?

If we don't screw up tomorrow's game against the Ozzies, we'll be going to the next round for sure, regardless of Ghana and Germany's final score. Still, we've been known to screw up easy matches, so anything's possible...

Objectively, Paizo is a small business. Even though they are currently the number 2 company on the market. Which is saying a whole lot about this industry. However, to those who maintain that hardcore RPGers can jeopardize your business, I think your business isn't nearly as big as you think it...

In other words, RPG companies should stop developing RPGs and focus on other areas, because this will make the irritating RPG people go away. Oh wait. They're already doing this (White Wolf's focus on TCGs, new Warhammer packaged as a board game, WotC's aggressive push of D&D Encounters*). No...

Is it possible? Right now, on my screen, 1/2 of the front page is taken up by the navigation elements, and the other half is taken up by two huge ads. I can't see the news at all without enabling AdThwart or scrolling down (which I'm highly unlikely to do).

As Shemmy noted, Faiths and Pantheons, being a 3.x book, uses the "Great Tree" cosmology, which is not directly connected to the Great Wheel, and the planes listed there do not correspond to the Great Wheel planes. Mechanus doesn't really have layers. However, I'd personally move Hoar's realm...

I'll look through my PS books tomorrow, but FR books are nearby. Powers and Pantheons (p.28) lists Hoar as having a domain (Doomcourt) in Mechanus. Faiths & Avatars (p.155) has Talos in Pandemonium (Pandesmos/Towers of Ruin), much more appropriate for a god of storms and destruction. Gah, no...

Nalfeshnee, at last! Huge drider?!? WTF?!? Cloaker, some newfangled 4e dragon, spellweaver, and a fiery humanoid I don't recognize. Nalfeshnee, cloaker, and spellweaver are must-haves.

The crux of the issue here is that there is continuity between the two sandbox sessions, which is what constitutes a "campaign." Same (more or less) group of characters, having adventured through the same (more or less) adventures, continuing their shared adventures.

But even sandbox campaigns have "stories," and it should be fairly easy to ascertain whether a new set of player characters are choosing to follow the same story (or set of stories/hooks), or moving in an entirely different direction for no reason other than "resetting" the campaign.
