I do wonder how a per-encounter system would translate to the computer realm, and I'm sure that must be on the minds of designers. For a real-time D&D game, do you have a cooldown timer for per-encounter abilities? The definition of "encounter" sure seems fuzzy at times.

GREEN bars? I sincerely hope we aren't using a typical stamina pool system. Ugh. Although, I suppose if you used a stamina pool for those per-encounter abilities, that could be kind of interesting. My players would be doing a lot more adding and subtracting per combat though... :-)

So from one of the previews, it was said that D&D 4E will have "new power sources" and "new resource management". Is it just me, or does this sound a heck of a lot like a Mana-based system (i.e., spells cost points which are subtracted from a pool). This has always been one of the most...

The game is incredibly great. It has basically taken all of the fun aspects of WoW and City of Heroes in one nice package. Highly recommended. The artwork is realistic. Weapons are fairly normal. Lord of the Rings is a LOW magic world, which is quite a change from WoW. Sure, you'll fight...

The 360 is a gamer's paradise. Way better than the original XBox. I own a 360 and a Wii. I haven't bothered with the PS3. As much as I'd like to blow some money on another game system... There has to be some games for it first before I'd be willing to do that.

It's interesting to watch the show detach from reality more and more as more crazy powers start entering the fray, that's for sure.

Cube 3 is actuallly Cube Zero. And yes, it's way better than Cube 2 (blech). Mostly because it answers what happens when you get out of the Cube.... (Hahahaha!) Couple of lesser known films that I like... Titus. Titus Andronichus remake. The Hudsucker Proxy. Comedy. The making of the...

I'm assuming you're talking about the original Zork (and not Zork + Zork II, Zork III). These classics are free to download now, you realize... http://www.infocom-if.org/downloads/downloads.html And that's not a pirated version. Infocom just released them. I can only hope they consider...

Take this moment to see your fiance in a new light. There's a thin line between love and hate, and you may find yourself on the other side of this childish behavior at some point in the future. It seems to me that you don't think your brother's SO is Hitler reincarnated, so it's purely her...

It depends on the person. I drink maybe 3-4 sodas a day (38 mg*4 < 2 Excedrin), and I can definitely feel the effects (headaches) when I go a day without. Then again, I have been drinking sodas for a prolonged period. As for the original topic, there are various types of Diet Sodas. If you...

I gotta say, this is some of the worst advice I've ever heard. A) No deal unless I can get a nasal epidural. B) Any parent of a newborn who trades a little sleep for a little peace deserves neither and will lose both. C) Grey parrots live longer than people do. Your kid will be hating you...

Well, of course. I could have gone with the Abuser (or the Taunter), but that'd be too easy. Maybe the Complainer would be better... Stan Lee: What's your superpower? Complainer: Why do I have to have a superpower? It's not like that's going to do anyone any good. You get a superpower, and...

The non-use of minis was a smart move on their part. It allows them to come out with expansion after expansion, and they'll just be little deck-sized packs.

IMHO, I hate cats.

That's why you should name your kid something like Optimus Prime. They'll be a schoolyard hero. For a while at least.

I didn't mean to be all "What's the point?" I'm glad there's an option for people who want to try the game. It's not like you can even find 3rd edition anywhere. And you certainly can't find 2nd or 1st. I just wish there was something in there for those of us who a long time fans.

Yeah, the MAP is really Dora's biggest nemesis. I was watching one episode where it was like... Go over the wall, across the boardwalk, and then go to the BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN. And I'm just like, what the hell?!?! She's like 5 or something?!?! Not to mention all the times she has to cross...

The Contradictor. My superpower would be the ability to contradict ANYTHING said to me. The interview process would go like this: Stan Lee: "So, what are your superpowers?" Me: "The Contradictor doesn't need superpowers." Stan Lee: "What is it that you do then?" Me: "What don't I do?"...

The original game WAS interminable, because the power of the Crown of Command was just not all that hot. It's been buffed a little bit in 4e to affect all players, but it used to not be unusual to just hang around a while after the player got the crown and buff up even more before confronting...

That's a great idea... "I can't believe you've been cheating on me!" "I'm sorry, Thomas... I just can't help loving Ben's brand new buffers!"
