In addition to Black Panther, Captain Britain would be a good addition. Both are nationals of other countries, which would add to the the international feel of team. Also, it might bug Alan Moore a bit.

I don't want any of them to leave, although historically Hulk wanders off and later becomes a defender much later. In an ideal world, I'd love to see Frasier Crane Beast in there. He could start off looking vaguely normal and then sprout blue fur during the course of the movie. There are a...

Hmmmm. I'll have to see that.

Great movie. Honestly, I can't believe it was this good. Even with the crop of good Marvel movies from Marvel Studios, I'd grown cynical. I love Joss, don't get me wrong. But as much as thought he'd be perfect for The Avengers, a part of me thought it was just to good to be true. A lot of the...

Granny Smiths.

I feel it's important to point out that watching sports, probably one of the most common and mainstream hobbies in the western world, is a hobby that is often practiced by going to a bar and drinking large quantities of alcohol. That doesn't really say much about mental health issues in RPGs...

One of the things I like about Rob Heinsoo and Jonathan Tweet teaming up is that they're to designers who's idea of a great RPG is most like mine. When 3e came out, I was most interested in Monte because he worked on the DMG, and I prefer to DM. But as time went on, I realized that it was...

Cost: 5 Swamps. Type: Enchantment Text: This card is everywhere you want to be.

If the rules say that the DM can break the rules, can the DM break the rule about breaking the rules by agreeing not to break the rules? Or is the rule granting the DM the power to break rules the one rule the DM cannot break?

I never owned any of those cards, but I did have a Darth Vader for the Star Wars CCG from Decipher back in "the day". As people my age sometimes say. $4,500 for Adam Bomb may be a little optimistic, but I suspect it's pricier than Nasty Nick. Adam Bomb was the mascot of Garbage Pale Kids. While...

The Valiant that existed in the '90s no longer exists. I believe that someone's reviving the brand right now, but it's not the same company. Dark Horse is the old of the three you mentioned, and it's survived on the strength of it's licensing. They've always had good indy stuff, but it was...

In The Hour of the Dragon by Robert E. Howard, Conan gets gets help from a woman who acts a lot like nature druid.

Two words: Death Star.

First of all, I want to make sure that I'm only talking about a scenario where the GM and the players agree that there is no fudging of die rolls and that no other restrictions have been agreed to by anyone. No, the GM did not cheat and my answer does not change based on whether or not the...

I took your survey, but one of the questions will, I think give you some bad data. Depending on why you need it, this may not be big thing. The question about how long you game jumps from 2-4, to all day. My group games for more like 5-6, and I've had several games were that was the norm. I...

I'm glad you asked this. I've been reading Edith Hamilton's and Thomas Bullfinch's books on mythology and I've been wondering the same thing. Also, I could use some good ideas.

And I agree that the GM can accomplish the things you talk about without fudging dice rolls. Even if you don't want to call it cheating, I still think it would be in poor form to agree to not to fudge die rolls and then to do exactly that. At the end of the day, or game session, the GM is a...

Well, then by definition, the GM hasn't gone too far. Your point is valid, as the arbitrator of the rules, the GM's ability to cheat is severely curtailed. But we're talking about dice rolls, and it's possible that there may be some groups out there where the GM has agreed not to fudge them...

Actually, it's "rules set out in that agreement". Here is what it means: Potential DM: I want you to be a player in my game. Potential Player: Only if you promise to always roll in the open and not fudge any die rolls. Potential DM: O.k. If, during the game, the DM rolls a die in secret and...

Bodybuilders work out in gyms. Gyms can be great sources of the word on the street. Upscale gyms may have the dealer's upscale clients or, baring that, maybe even the dealer himself if it's really exclusive and he's really successful. Basically, I'm thinking it can serve the modern function of...
