    Okay, my quarter-final predictions are: Argentina v Germany: I'm really looking forward to this one and I think it will be a tight. I'd say 1-1 with Argentina to progress through a penalty shoot out. England v Portugal: Scolari has twice out-foxed Eriksson and there's every chance he'll do so...

    France got knocked out after the first round in the last world cup, winless and goaless. The goal they scored against South Korea was their first in the World Cup finals since the last they scored against Brazil in the final of the 1998 World Cup. Weird, huh? For the record, here are their...

    Nice thinking, MonsterMash, but without Essien, I think they're going to get beat - probably 2-1 to Brazil IMO. It would certainly be great if Ghana did knock them out though :D

    Okay, I've finally woken up after the Swiss - Ukraine game. Worst match of the world cup so far. Even the penalty shoot out was the most boring I've ever seen. It's actually making me drowsy just thinking about it ;) Today's matches should be fun. You gotta call Brazil over Ghana...

    Another match decided on some quite shocking refereeing. Materazzi should never have been sent off and it was never a penalty. The referees seem to have gone quite mad.

    I agree. I thought his contribution was poor today, up until the goal of course. Personally, I'd drop Lampard (he's been very poor), revert to 4-4-2 with Gerard and Carrick in central midfield and give Lennon a crack on the right, with Rooney and Crouch up front. Sven won't do it, though.

    16 yellow cards and 4 reds. I believe that equals the number of yellow cards dished out in a World Cup match and beats the red total tally. Might be wrong though.

    The England V Ecuador game kicks off in a couple of hours. England are reported to be going with a five man midfield and Rooney upfront. If they do, it'll be interesting to see how they deal with the new formation (as reported, 4-1-4-1). Ecuador will have a lot of possession, so the England...

    Underwater Spellcasting

    I recently ran an underwater encounter and this very issue arose. There's nothing in either the DMG or Stormwrack about it, so I just decided to allow the spellcaster to cast spells. He cast water breathing, so I really didn't have a problem with it after that. As has already been said, it is...

    Help me with my research paper: Survey #1

    This is what first comes to my mind as well :) I'm not sure that asking gamers about gamers is the way to go. When I think of this, I do so with a smile. If you ask my wife, on the otherhand (who doesn't game), her view of gamers is far more critical - geeks and nerds who lack social and...

    Blast from the past...

    Well, I know a lot of folks look back nostalgically at the days of TSR, including myself (too many good memories!). However, I think the acquisition (and 3rd ed) was a very positive thing for D&D and reivigorated the industry.

    Do You Consider Miniatures Painting And/Or Collecting Part Of Your RPG Hobby?

    Yeah, I think of it totally as being a part of the hobby. I have around a 1000 minis, but 60% or so of these are lead, so I've recently decided to swap to wotc's line of plastic minis. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly (and most importantly) my 2-year old son is beginning to show...

    Blast from the past...

    I happened to come across this old link from 1997 (WotC to acquire TSR!): http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~klaproth/esflatestnews.html It was interesting looking back at some of the fears/hopes/expectations that were around at the time. Anyway, just thought I'd share... nothing like a blast from...

    PDFs - where do you buy yours?

    Well, the poll certainly shows just how far ahead RPGNow is when comes to our primary source for PDFs. I can't say I'm particularly surprised that Arima and DBB haven't got any votes, as they're not exactly going to be ENworlder's first port of call, and neither am I surprised the e23 didn't...

    Paladins - likes and dislikes?

    I have one major problem with paladins - detect evil at will :] It means that they walk around constantly scanning everything in sight for signs of evil and it can become a real pain (from a GMs point of view). Should be incremental IMO - 1/day at 1st, 2/day at 5th, 3/day at 10th etc. At...

    PDFs - where do you buy yours?

    I thought about it, but thought it might skew the results. I decided to just go for the primary source in the end, figuring people would just mention it when replying. Arima is an Italian company, though you'll find a lot of the established names there. DBB are a Canadian company (I think)...
