I am disappointed that "The Great Raid" isn't doing better.

Really? I hope not as the descriptions I've read make it sound horrible. Some guy thinks his brother is innocent and wants to clear his name. Ok, good so far. He evidently did the design for the prison, so he's going to use the plans to break his brother out. Ok, that seems a bit contrived...

I'm sure I've said this somewhere before, but if I ever end up making a movie, I'm going to include a scene where the hero is doing this, trips over his shoelace and stops to tie it while the explosion pauses to wait and then resumes when he starts running again. :D

A staff. Call it a shepherd's crook and say it's symbolic of gathering the souls of the dead to him.

I don't remember Australia being on the Civilization map. That must be one heck of an expansion board...

The way I'd play this one is that the "Time of Woe" (tm) is actually the civil war that results from trying to put the rightful heir on the throne. See, the evil cult spread all this around and convinced the usurper to usurp the throne in the first place in order to avert the "Time of Woe"...

That's hilarious! My parents were never the videogame (or computer) type when I was a kid, so I was safe. If I ever have kids, they will probably have to look out for this sort of thing though...

Kenzer's "Salt and Sea Dogs".

You still see some that remind you of the 80s though, like the "Stacy's Mom" video. Then again, I'm part of the "Old Fart" brigade and I don't see many modern videos, except occasionally flipping past VH1 (which is where I saw the "Stacy's Mom" video).

I'll second that one. Everyone is going to mention GRRM's Song of Ice and Fire trilogy. I'm sure more will come to mind the moment I hit the reply button...

I'm sure there are places you can find plenty of WotC haters if that's what you're looking for...

This wasn't exactly a villain, more of an occasional nemesis. See, there was a PC who was playing a knight and he took on a squire at the request of his family. The boy was from a rising family and turned out to be brave, talented and not at all a bother like the party had feared. The problem...

I don't know if this is going to be a good movie or not but I think this movie should be titled "Dungeons and Dragons: Good lord, we're so, so sorry. Please forget that first movie ever existed and consider this the start of the franchise.", just on general principles.

A few years back I hooked onto historical mysteries and more historical fiction in general. My favorites have been the various mystery series set in ancient Rome. My favorites include: * SPQR series by John Maddox Roberts. This series revolves around Decius Caecilius Metellus, member of a...

Ah, ok. I see. Thanks.

Well, we don't have an archive of Dungeon Magazines that I know of. I know that I don't and I don't think anyone else in the group does either. I've been through The Lost City once, but that was over 20 years ago as a young teenager and I haven't looked at it since. I recall that it wasn't...

Well, that could be a problem since we captured them and our DM allowed us to take them to a temple that could de-corrupt them. This was also our lead-in to Forge of Fury.

Mixed feelings here. On the one hand, I feel sorry for the fans who wanted to see their favorites in print. On the other hand, I've never been a big fan of either one and I developed a real dislike for Ravenloft back in the 90s when I heard so many "game-gone-bad" stories that started off with...

Perhaps, though there are only two battle scenes that I recall. There was Gaugamela and one of the battles with the Indians. I only thought Gaugamela was any good and it might be worth $3-4 bucks. You got a good sense of what was going on and it was a fairly exciting battle. IMHO, it was the...

Ok, perhaps this is a dumb question but did I miss something somewhere along the line that would have introduced the woman (Sha-Shawn?) that Starbuck found hooked up to all the machines? Starbuck obviously knew her but I don't remember seeing her before. Was she part of the resistance or are...
