Looking at the cast, it could be that the tale will be told retrospectively - you know, with old Bilbo and Frodo sitting around a table at Bag End or Rivendale (or wherever), looking over the Red Book, probably with Legolas and Galadriel, then fade to The Hobbit... it would certainly help to...

I'm reading Lord of the Rings. Yay! It's my fourth or fifth time, I reckon, but the last time was in 2002, so 9 years is long enough. It's amazing to think that since then all the movies have come out. Now I keep visualizing the characters as they were portrayed in the films!

Well, that's something positive, at least. I haven't had a response to mine (at least, not last time I checked). Hopefully we'll see something soon - both a refund and the release of RC!

Yep, gonna have to agree with this. I think the mods here do a very good job. The only time I ever really thought otherwise was during the worst of the edition wars just after 4ed was released, but in hindsight I'm not sure anyone could have expected the vitriol and hatred shown by some...

I finished Slaughterhouse 5, but now I really can't figure out what I want to read :-S So I've been reading a few original Conan stories while I make up my mind. I'm not much of a short story reader, so I'll probably just read a half-dozen or so and then pick up something a little more meaty...

Yes, scale is so important. If it hits that 28-30mm range, as mentioned above, the figures will be so much more accessabile and desirable to players of others games.

Yes, it would be nice to see a little more info on this. Depending the scale and look (and price!), I may well pick some up as well.

The thing that has surprised me most about all of this is the sheer mean-spiritedness and cycism of a minority of small-minded people here. I shouldn't be surprised really, but there you go. In any community, there's always detritus. So in the spirit of actively not wanting to be like those...

Or... It could just be that people have other things to do and aren't aware of it. Or... It could just be that people are considering what their response might be. Or... It could just be that people are on different time zones and will respond later. Or... It could just be that people are...

No, you're just gleefully revelling in it, which is incredibly immature and slightly disturbing. Anyway, as pointed out above, there's a place on these forums for people like you, and it's called the ignore list. At least one misfortune I won't be suffering from in future is having to listen...

I can inderstand people not being offended, especially if they're not directly affected by it, even if I don't agree with them (or them with me), but to laugh at people's misfortune and regard that as perfect? I mean, seriously, was there any need for that? Do you even know how rude and...

Okay, I'm sorry for flying off the handle. I just can't see the funny side of it. And what you say about Nick is right. The thing about all of this, what Louis doesn't seem to understand, is that things like this (getting burned by publishers) means that people are less likely to dig into...

Sure, a fair point. But laughing at yourself is not the same as being laughed at by others. One is by choice. One is not.

Or, why don't you instead show some sympathy for people that have been ripped off? Or is it that all of us that have been ripped off are just a good target for you and others to laugh at? It's quite clear what Louis' intentions were, whether we believed him or not, and taking the piss out of...

+1 xp for Gary :) He's getting close to Morrus.

Finished The Orchard Keeper (Cormac McCarthy) and have moved onto Kurt Vonnegut's Sluaghterhouse 5. I read it around twenty years ago so am revisting it - as I am with many novels atm :)

It's 30. You can give out 10 a day, so you have to go some! Stick with it :)

3rd xp for the Colonel. I was a lot more systematic about this time. Onwards...

When I was younger I loved Liz Taylor. She was absolutely gorgeous. It feels like she's been around forever, and in a way she kinda has been - all my life! It's sad news.

Yep, I now have 56 xp and am level 5 (Carbuncle).
