    Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning

    Impressive special effects, but apart from that I found it a bit meh. It has some very funny scenes, but they are sparse. It's probably much better if you are a Star Trek and B5 fan, I guess. Though not being a trekkie didn't prevent me from enjoying Galaxy Quest thoroughly.

    What have you done to REALLY make your players hate an NPC?

    Having the NPC candidly admit to raping a friend of his, while implying that he didn't think it was a big deal. That's for the "in the background" category, I think, since the act happened before the PCs got involved. For the "in the campaign" category, I think that casting Mordenkainen's...

    What CR should this creature be?

    What I find funny - and I mean no offense, BOZ! :) - is the bit that says "One of the more unusual features of the tybor is the fact that when they run at top speed, they seem to float above the ground without actually touching it." I would say that the most unusual features of the tybor are...

    The map is not US-only. ;)

    Eldritch Knight, Effective or Defective?

    I'm (rarely :( ) playing a bladesinger and I've just got the feature that lets me ignore ASF; after this, I think I'll go EK. The BBEG in my current Planescape campaign is an Eldritch Knight. I like it, but I can't yet say whether it is strong, balanced or weak.

    What's the Most Asinine Character Idea/Concept You've Dealt With?

    As incredible as it feels to say it, this is covered under core rules. Check "demoralize an opponent" under the Intimidate skill. :D

    Will you bee seing Doom?

    The plot tecnowraith posted sounds much better... but the trailer I've seen doesn't support it at all. I don't know.

    Life is Broken!

    It's got cool graphics, though.

    Would you play a Class with an XP adjustment?

    Bad idea IMO. Very bad. Extremely bad. It breaks the CR system, making it useless; throwing a CR 6 creature at a super-powered-class 6th level character is no longer a challenge. It breaks the XP system as well. Say you have a party with three 7th lev characters and one 5th lev...

    Imagine, no Battlemat...

    We use a battlemat, but could do without.

    3.5 Missing Link

    In my group, you get ten seconds to decide what to do. It doesn't seem to be a big problem. My thoughts exactly. I dislike PCs that are weird for the sake of weirdness, but I love 3.X nonetheless. The last character I made for playing was a pure human rogue. Surprisingly, no WotC agent jumped...

    Will you bee seing Doom?

    You mean that zombie movie which happens to be called Doom, even though it doesn't feature demons from Hell at all and the Big :):):):):):):) Gun is called Bio Force Gun? Yeah, probably, if there's nothing better to see.

    What monster types have been done to death?

    All of them... but especially dragons, humanoids and undead. I wasn't surprised in the least to see three spikes there after voting. We have multiple humanoids covering every possible environment or concept, dozens of undead with all sorts of wacky origins, and as for dragons... ew.

    Must...get...Perform..up

    There's a clerical spell that gives you a +10 to any skill check IIRC. You could get a wand of that, and use it with Use Magic Device. Also, a masterwork instrument should give you a +2 circumstance bonus.

    Philosophical prospective future question of the week

    The creation of true AI doesn't seem likely right now. All current AIs that try to imitate the human brain only work in extremely limited scopes, and the problem isn't processing power or memory. The more adaptable you try to make them, the worse they become at actually solving problems. The...

    If you had a Time Machine...

    Yep! That was my doing. Uh, I mean would have been. If I had a time machine. :D

    If you had a Time Machine...

    Well. First thing, I'd go way back and kill all the dinosaurs to make sure that mankind can evolve in reasonable safety. Then I'd go to about late roman empire and set myself up as a religious figure, trying to get people to live together peacefully. If that fails, I'd go to early 20th century...

    Point buy starting pool

    Rolling results in slightly higher scores than 25 PB. However, PB allows you to min/max more effectively. So, I think that 25 PB is roughly correct. I don't know if this is common, but lots of DMs I've met that argue that rolling is better than 25 PB tend to let the player choose between two or...
