[shudders] I still get drug flashbacks from that movie, and I don't even do drugs! :D Cyrano de Bergerac with Gerard Depardiu is fantastic. It's beautifully filmed and acted, quite funny at times, has excellent action sequences, and is quite possibly one of the most romantic films ever made...

I would say not. Merely selling a lot of copies doesn't make a book a classic. Danielle Steele sells tons of books, but that doesn't make any of her books classic romances.

You mean aside from spoiling Gandalf's return for the millions of viewers who have never read the books? :eek:

Excellent advice here. While I have never done this formally, I run through a similar mental process when creating characters. All my characters are reflections of me, but distorted ones. I take aspects of myself that I'm interested in playing or exploring, and exaggerate them, while...

What the heck. injiginiput at hotmail.com

Darkwalker on Moonshae was the first book published for the Realms, and IMO the best. Besides, it has both unicorns and elves with bows. :D For Dragonlance, starting with the Chronicles and the Legends is the best way to go. After that, many of the short stories in the Tales books are...

I was seriously disappointed with the first one, and was probably only entertained by the second because I had such low expectations. That said, I'm happy they were made, if only because of the joy of watching lightsaber battles and the depth they've given to the Emperor.

I teared up a few times in it, at the death of Theoden, the final charge of Faramir, and the ending scene, which others have mentioned, but also at the scene at the black gate. The scene where the Eye falls on Aragorn, which was deliberately reminiscent of the temptation of Isildur in the FotR...

1. Steve Kenson (Mutants & Masterminds, the Shadowrun Grimoire, and GR's Shaman's and Witch's handbooks.) One of the few authors whose books I buy sight unseen. 2. Jeremiah Genest and Adam Bank (who wrote The Mysteries and Kabbalah for Ars Magica. Adam also heavily contibuted to Atlas's Occult...

Or create a spell or magic item that lets the druid speak normally while in animal form.

...which is why they have a patch, no? ;)

Even if it is a hacker, I wouldn't be surprised if they honored the sales anyway. They could potentially lose a lot of business if news got out that hackers had broken into their system, rendering credit card and personal ID information potentially unsecure. I suppose their decision would rest...

I'm almost positive that they can't charge you the normal price. You only authorized them to charge $9.99 to your credit card, so they can't just decide to charge you $49.99 instead. But IANAL (yet).

If you want a more magical/eclectic/jack of all trades approach, use could just use the bard class, and base all your bardic "music" abilities on Perform (Oratory). Then watch Branagh's Henry the Fifth and memorize all the speeches. :cool:

If so, lets hope they target Knights of the Old Republic next. :D

Are you sure you didn't accidentally buy the player's guide book? I just checked: the CRPG is still $9.99 but the player's guide is $13.99

For some unfathomable reason, Amazon.com currently has the computer game of the Temple of Elemental Evil at $9.99, 80% off the regular price. :eek: This probably won't last more than a few hours, so if you're interested, go buy it now! Don't even bother with Sharing the Love, because it...

With any sort of creative writing, it's a truism that ideas are easy to come by; it's the execution that's hard. It isn't the "concept" of a pulp/noir that makes a setting unique, it's how the setting is designed and written to make it work. For an example, look at the Pirates of the Caribbean...

Quicken spell is useful only for higher level characters, and then only for certain types of builds. Until epic levels it's fairly useless for offensive spells, especially ones that have saving throws or damage based on level, but it's always great for buffing spells. To a melee cleric, a 5th...

Arcana Unearthed, Skull & Bones, and Testament are my favoritre d20 books of this year. If we're including other RPGs, then I have to include Savage Worlds and probably Angel (just a few more days...).
