Unless the new FR has been released and I've completely missed it, aren't we still waiting for full info on what the swordmage can do? All we've seen so far is a few paragon powers and roughly half of the level 1-3 stuff. I'd say there should be a sixth option on the poll: Not enough info to...

A nice teaser trailer. Having read the books, it gives just enough of a hook for what's to come. el-remmen, I'll agree on both counts regarding PoA, but the 4th and 5th movies have done better. Not saying they did great (no Dobby in GoF or Ron's Quiddich sub-plot in OotP), but did far better...

I don't think its a bad idea in theory, just not the current execution. After all, there's Two-Weapon which gives you the benefit of having a light shield while still litting you get your damage bonus from wielding two weapons. In fact, why not revamp the feat so that you just get the +1...

I wouldn't mind having a set of these just to brass off the "I hate anime!" hosers at a couple of the D&D games I play in :) Especially if it's all kawaii chibi artwork (which should give at least one of them a fit) :D

Maybe not so much living campaigns, but a meta-plot whose direction is decided by something as fickle and subject to whimsy as a collectible card game, as the players of those games are generally more interested in winning than in creating a story that makes any kind of rational sense.

Seems to be an opinion shared by more than a few of the L5R RPG old guard from what I've seen, especially those that never got into the card game. Some of the L5R GMs in that camp that I've talked with have either set their games before the Clan Wars took place or retcon'd huge swaths of stuff...

They had, but if using the starting ages I listed above, then Aang and Katara would have been 15 and 17 respectively, which would be a couple degrees less creepy than 13 and 15

I'll most likely end up waiting for the DVD. Then again, it is Star Wars, so depending on my schedule I may check it out in theaters.

I'd call it a mix of point-based and class-based, in that order of emphasis. The class-based portion comes from your character's insight rank, which determines what school techniques they know, be it martial-based for the bushi schools or how potent and how effectively the spells a shugenja...

I wasn't referring to any kind of time skip. I meant starting the series with the characters being a couple of years older. Aang being 14 instead of 12 Katara being 16 instead of 14 Sokka being 17 instead of 15 Zuko being 18 instead of 16 (making him a full-fledged adult when he takes the...

It probably played a role given all the hype about how awesome Ledger's performance was and his death back in January. There are folks in the place I work that are interested in seeing a Batman movie just to see of Heath's last role was as good as the buzz is saying it is, and these are folks...

I'll vouch for 3rd edition L5R as well (for what it may be worth), given that my group had a lot of fun playing the game, and that things did seem pretty well thought out if not necessarily well laid-out. Will probably pick up the revised version as well. Helps if the GM has an understanding...

Saw the finale, and really enjoyed it. A lot of cool cameos from past episodes, including Jun the Bounty Hunter :) It certainly looks like Mike and Bryan were saving the best for last in terms of the fight scenes, and I wasn't disappointed at all with how they were executed, which considering...

Yeah, anyone that was surprised by Dark Knight claiming the top spot this week needs to get their head examined. I agree it'll be curious to see how long the "ghoul factor" will hold up, but then again Ledger gave one heck of a performance, which may only be fueling folk's desire to see the...

There are some folks that feel that's what the greatsword should have been in the first place. As generalhenry said, the weapon as you listed it is bit below the bastard sword. I'd suggest bumping the damage die up to 1d12 to better separate it from the bastard sword.

Well, maybe not all parts of Wotc have failed to grasp this. For the Star Wars Dawn of Defiance campaign/adventure path, one of the first things released was a campaign overview for the GM with a basic breakdown of what each chapter would cover. Then again, the Star Wars department is a...

Very interesting. I'd always liked the basic ideas of Earthdawn in terms of setting, and look forward to hearing more about this as time goes on.

No shock there, as it's a Will Smith movie and he's one of Hollywood's golden boys. Trick is gonna be word of mouth, which isn't universally positive. Expect it to be kicked out by Hellboy this weekend, and kicked further down when Dark Knight hits the screens. I am hoping WALL-E hangs around...

Well, the end of adventure fight should be a tough nut to crack. And unlike Kobold Hall, as long as the players are smart, using tactics and functioning as a group, they'll have a pretty good chance of avoiding a TPK... barring bad rolls on their part.

Group I game with did pretty well against Irontooth. Of course, it helped immensely that the Human Wizard kept hitting everything with his area-blast powers and rolling max damage, not to mention the havoc he wreaked with Flaming Sphere. Warlord also did a good job of backing up my...
