    Kingdom of Heaven

    I saw it a few hours ago, and for the most part, liked it. The begining was a bit forced, I thought. It seemed like certain scenes were cut short. There was not a lot of character development, the motivations of some of the characters were unclear. I thought the film did a good job showing...

    Generation: rolling vs. point buy

    Personally, I like the way my current group does it: roll 4d6 seven times, drop both lowest die and lowest roll. Works pretty well, overall Here's something I find interesting that I wonder if anyone else has noticed: First some background. I have been playing DnD since around 1989, so I...

    Your Best and Worst Sci-Fi TV Shows!

    Best: 1. Farscape 2. Stargate SG-1 3. Invisible Man 4. Deep Space 9 5. SeaQuest DSV I would have included Buffy, Angel, G vs. E, and Highlander, but I don't consider them sci-fi, to me they're more fantasy (emphasis on magic, supernatural, and all). Worst: 1. Andromeda 2. Tracker 3...

    Don't hate the playa, hate the game

    Do you differentiate between the DM and the NPCs/monsters/world/plots/etc.? Yes Do you differentiate between the Player and the player character? Yes Do you get mad at the DM when he breaks your favorite magic sword? Or do you get mad at the fire giant that sundered your character's...

    Halflings

    IMC, Halflings are the survivors of an island civilization that sank into the sea after a great catastrophe. They wander the mainland searching for a new homeland, though some settle among the established races. So basically, I just use the PHB. T

    recommend short stories?

    I keep a copy of Tales of the White Wolf on my bedstand for nights when I can't sleep. It's a collection of Elric stories, written by, among others, Tad Williams, Neil Gaiman, and Moorcock himself.

    "Buffy-vivor": Pick the ultimate Buffy episode! (Come vote in the finals!)

    Once More, With Feeling. I just love it. It's on my Mac, my Ipod, and the original is in my car. I usually play it after a hard day at work. It's also one of the CDs I listen to to get in the gaming mood.

    "Buffy-vivor": Pick the ultimate Buffy episode! (Come vote in the finals!)

    Dump "The Body". Excellently acted, scripted, directed, but really painful to watch multiple times. IMHO, that bars it from truly being the best.

    Coolest, most vile, and stupidest villians of all time.

    Coolest: Lionel Luther, Gul Dukat, Scorpius, Keyzer Soze. All suave and subtle. You never know where you truly stand with these guys. Vilest: Pretty much the same guys. Stupidest (as in I want to slap the actor): The Batman villians post-Keaton, especially Two-face.

    Help with population of a small town

    Say I have a small town with a population of 1200 human adults. The DMG states that between 10-40% of the pop. are nonadults, depending on race. What would be the percentage? Also, how many buildings in this town? What kind of physical footprint does it have (square yards, meters, whatever)...

    Detroit Gameday II -- Now with Date!: Dec. 4th

    Dude, sign me up! Well, I guess we should wait for games to be anounced, but I am very interested in another Game Day. I'm not much of a planner-type, so I can't really help there, but I can show up and play, if this happens.

    Talk about your Eberron character concepts

    Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to be playing Eberron anytime soon (no gaming group), and I haven't read much of the book, but I read enough to get an idea for a character. Inspired by the section on warforged where it mentioned that some nations retain warfarged as a form of slave...

    Detroit Gameday: Jan 31!! The Aftermath!!

    While I feel bad seeing Stockdale's slots all empty, I want to jump in and grab that last open spot at the Duchess's Tea Party. Mr. Dyal, I would like to play a chaotic good human cleric of Pelor or the equivalent. Hope that's good enough. What level will the characters be? However, if...
