That was completely hilarious, one of the funniest gaming-related pieces I've ever read.....completely hilarious until the very end. Then it became surprisingly depressing. I've never laughed that hard, and so quickly fall from it. I feel like I've just watched a marathon of Xena or Buffy...

[/B] Lucha rings I've seen up close were the standard 18x18, but the ones on Mexican wrestling TV programs looked a tad smaller (perhaps 16x16?). The main difference comes not from the size so much as the give of the mat. A Lucha ring is supported by steel bars, and has virtually no padding...

That was sort of meant as a joke. Promo in the wrestling sense being an interview segment or an in-character running of the mouth as opposed to a promotional give-away. ;) In the rules set I was writing, Ring Familiarity worked like an exotic weapon proficiency feat. You suffered a -4 to both...

Re: ...from Steve Jackson's Site Oh great... in ten years, Vince McMahon will buy the failing D&D brand name from Turner for <3 Million dollars, and then a slew of midcard-level halflings, gnomes, dwarves and some jabroni named Booker Tarrasque will invade the WWE during a pay-per-view. Deja...

Perhaps something similar though. Theory: Peter A. buys the TSR brand name, the D&D brand name, and a few defunct TSR-related brands. Wizards of the Coast retains the Dragonlance brand, the Forgotten Realms brand (which has the potential after the TV series comes out of making a TCG/CCG...

One thing off the top of my head (as I'm distracted by NWA Wildside on TV...) I would recommend, if the game assumes that matches are worked, that a set of feats (or class features) be included to indicate familiarity with different kinds of rings - 18x18 Bump Ring, Lucha Libre Ring, 20x20...

Sadly, I was intending to adapt some vanilla d20 sports entertainment rules I had worked on to D20 Modern when it was opened to the public. But as long as you guys get it right, I won't complain. ;) Any chance you could post a PDF or at least a plain text copy of the promo document? It's hard...

The new d20 Modern website at Wizards has a preview of a revised Charismatic Hero character class that is remarkably different from the one previously presented in Shadow Chasers. All in all, it looks much better, but it does beg a question.... has d20 Modern switched over to the straight Hit...

Remember how there was a strange "breeze" that passed the members of SG1? Well (at the risk of spoiling the episode prior), that was supposed to imply that the Ascended spirit of Daniel Jackson was still with them, and that Jack "felt" him there. That's why he smiled.

It crossed my mind while watching the season premiere that someone who hadn't followed the show's fifth season on Showtime (or downloads...) would have no clue about most of the changes. To answer questions: uv23 - No, Jack wasn't possessed. The major event of the finale was the Asgard's Thor...

Not the same problem, but when I initially bought the Monster Manual from WotC, it came in a box that was oversized, with no packing of any sort to keep it from shuffling around during shipping. As you might expect, the book was fairly beat up around the corners. Around the same time I recieved...

1) D20 Modern 2) Farscape 3) Mutants & Masterminds 4) Silver Age Sentinels d20 (more of a tie with M&M alphabetically) 5) T20 Traveller's Handbook Obviously, I'm more inclined to new games than unmarked D&D supplements at this point... Things I'd really like to see: 1) D20 Future (with Star...

Definitely an improvement over the draft images of it... I could have done without the drawing (any version of it) altogether though. Perhaps a centre image more like a blueprint/schematic of a modern firearm, a motorcycle, a laptop etc.

Well there must be some reason Necromancer didn't try to license the Fiend Folio name, and it's probably either a) cost or b) Wizards is planning to use the FF name yet. I wouldn't buy c) they didn't want the name, or they wouldn't have used the subtitle they did.

Patricia Pulling would have had a field day with that....

Re: Bah, Disney is Evil Uh.... does that mean what I think it means?

Hopefully, one of the corrections will be to excise the monkey/woman hybrid emperor from Empire Strikes Back, and replace it with Ian McDiarmid.

I seemed to have the same problem with the KoK main book (at least the first printing, I don't know if later ones are any better). The maps seem to be stuck in there, but can still be opened from within the book (though they are quite hard to fold back without tearing them). I was hoping Kenzer...

I have to agree with this. I'm only concerned with the clarity and accuracy of a review, not the purchasing ethics of the reviewer. The only significant negative aspect from a potential purchaser's (meaning the review reader's) point of view is that the downloaded copy the reviewer used could...

Master Tools are dead, long live NWN! :D Nice looking dungeon setup you made! Wish I had had this little tool a couple of years ago instead of stealing maps from modules and refilling them to taste. :)
