Did they do the changing-gravity hotel hallway with an actual rotating set? I can't think of any other way they could've gotten that effect. It looked too real to be CGI. I didn't see any transition effects like I did during the "training dream" when the road went up 90 degrees.

Perhaps you and I have different playstyles, but I don't see why playing a human with a weird background is any less fun than playing a weird race with a "normal" (for that race) background. Each of them can have the same amount of character and RP possibilities. When I was in high school I...

Something you may want to consider is reflavoring (or having the players reflavor) those "strange" races so they are members of a "normal" race with some sort of quirk or special power. Maybe a minotaur is a type of really feral dwarf with a tough skull that likes charging with a headbutt. A...

For some reason I got the three questions this time when I went to the page, but I did not see them when I first visited. Suggestion: The layout for the big list of games could stand to be improved. They look all jumbled the way they are now. May I suggest either putting them into a table so...

Since there have been a bunch of other things I consider spoilers upthread I won't sblock this. I'm on the fence about whether the ending means he's still dreaming or not. The children not aging really does it for me (when he spoke with them on the phone they sounded older than that, IMO), but...

No, I did not see those questions, but I did have a lot of information like that in my profile from the old "gamers seeking gamers" system from a few years back. Could that have anything to do with it?

This looks great! Part of my job at work is to be a quality assurance tester, and I often work with people for whom English is a second language, so I'm used to correcting improper English, making suggestions, and finding bugs. So please interpret this list of criticisms as constructive. :)...

The thread about printing new books with updated errata has made me think that I should find some way to mark in my books where the errata is. Putting a little highlighter mark next to passages that are errata'd would probably work, but I would rather not have something permanent in case I want...

In theory, I like the idea of having an always up-to-date dead-tree copy of the rules. But the picture some of you are painting doesn't sound like a good one to me. I see a world where you buy a new PHB each month and throw out the old one. That just seems like a gigantic waste to me. If...

There are a number of 4e frameworks for MapTool that do this to varying degrees. We use this one in our weekly online game: RPTools.net Forums View topic - 4e interactive sheet & utilities

I don't think we have the version affected by this. The article says the flaw appeared in 3.8.6, and according to the bottom of the page EN World has 3.8.5.

I wonder if that actually could have been a safety issue. That many lasers makes it not hard to believe that somebody could move the wrong way and get a few too many shots in the eye. I saw it last weekend. It wasn't bad. It was pretty much what I expected: an action flick slash monster...

Wahahahha! I love Improv Everywhere. :lol: The looks on all the bystanders' faces makes it priceless, as usual.

Honestly, all of that is relative to the company you're dealing with, so it's hard for us out in the wide internet to say what you'll experience. The speed and quality of DSL depends on the lines themselves, and whether there's any limits on how much data you download is purely up to the...

When I first started dating my husband (before he was my husband, obviously) he had heard of D&D and RPGs, but they had been forbidden in his house growing up and he never went out of his way to learn about him. Once we started going out he discovered my D&D books, and I swear sometimes he...

The average D&D commoner will probably have as much belief in magic and the gods as the average real-world medieval commoner. Which is to say, a whole heck of a lot. Did you know that dragon attacks were common in the real-world in the middle ages? At least, they were often written down as...

Very much looking forward to it. I haven't played Civ 4 in a while, but it's one of those games I never take out of my quick launch because I keep coming back to it. Each Civ game has been such an improvement on the last that I find myself unable to satisfactorily go back to an earlier copy...

I think the fact that other people call it a lightsaber is just used as proof that it looks close enough to a lightsaber to be violating the copyright. The fact that they're calling it a lightsaber isn't bad... it's just evidence to back up their side of the argument. The company can protect...

I was a little disappointed that this week's episode didn't further the plot, but it was still a funny little PSA. After watching the entire series (including the "Out of Mind" and "Recovery One" miniseries) twice through in quick succession I think I figured out what's going on in the main...

Anyone here on EN World watching Red vs Blue? I'm posting this in the Software forum instead of Media/Off Topic because although technically it qualifies as media, Red vs Blue generally appeals more to the computer gaming crowd. For those who don't know, Red vs Blue is a machinima based on the...
