I love it. It's very different from most other MMORPGs, so be ready. First of all, you don't need to kill mobs to advance. Character advancement in EVE takes the form of skills; you select a skill to train, and it will gain a level after a certain amount of time. Time that you spend offline...

The WoD in general, and Vampire in particular. I don't like the mechanics, which make skills way too unreliable. Setting-wise, I find that many of them suffer from the problem that it is nigh impossible to find a decent reason for which the party should get together. And I'm not into all the...

Cool, but what about other coffee-related damage? I hear it isn't too good for the heart, for example.

Here are some of my tricks: Most places - dungeons, forests, towns, whatever - have a definite feeling. For example, a forest may be characterized by the sound of wind rustling the leaves, the presence of some typical animal, and the colors of autumn. Make a big point of these details the first...

Other: noone is playing a Paladin, and noone has for a good while, so I don't care. They are conceptually interesting, but mechanically boring. My players tend to play fighter/clerics instead.

An epic adventure has a great impact on the world. You can have epic adventures at any level, though they tend to be much easier to run at mid-levels and above, because low-level characters are subject to being killed easily by anything that can cause "a great impact on the world" if they get in...

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. I don't like much the usual 1vs1 fight games, but this is more like the old 1-versus-hordes-of-goonies arcades. I like going around killing people in ways that more closely resemble freak industrial accidents. What can I say, I'm a simple man. :D

By whose definition of sentient? Ours, or the Flumph's?

Change of fundamental constants is indeed one of the "possibilities" in the exit mundi site. Change of fundamental constants allows for lots of spectacular ways to blow up the universe.

If I were in charge, that'd a minor offense in comparison to making a bad Fallout movie.

It doesn't. It has 512 MBs. The video memory is 256 Mb GDDR3, which IIRC is the same type as the 360. The main memory is 256 Mb XDR. 360 uses the same RAM for system and video. So the PS3 has 512 Mb total as well, of which half is a whole lot faster than the 360's. Sony claims that this...

System Shock System Shock 2 Zak mcKraken ATAM Planescape: Torment. Dawn of War Admittedly, the last two are more because I'd love to see a Planescape movie and a WH40K movie. ;)

When I can play, I play whatever. The reasoning that humans are bland is what leads to half-fiend minotaur PCs that the player gets tired of after three sessions. There are no bland races, only bland characters. Numbers and powers are cool - for two sessions, maybe.

I guess you could say that casting a Summon Monster spell which uses sticks as a material component fits the bill. I would like more flavorful spells, though.

While we're at it... demons evolve from abyssal larvae, right? Which are the souls of dead Chaotic Evil people, right? How come there is an infinite number of demons, while any other planar race is supposed to have a very large but finite number of individuals? Wouldn't that imply that there are...

I don't have time for DMing adversarial groups. I don't have time for imparting lessons either. I'd tell them so, adding that the next time anything like this springs up, the game is over. If they argue or say they don't understand, there are two possibilities - either they really don't...

The Abyss being infinite doesn't mean that there are infinite archdemons. It could be that only a finite number of layers are ruled by an archdemon. IMC, I don't use D&DG (gods are unstatted). Arch-planar creatures (Archdemons, Lords of the Nine, Secundi, Slaad Lords, Five Companions, Lords of...

"Currently in a bidding war for Metal Gear Solid"?? "May be after the rights to Fallout"?!?!? AARRRGGH!!! OH GODS, PLEASE NO!! All Germans on these boards, urge your government to get that law out quickly before it's Too Late! :confused:

It happens here as well, though it is mostly limited to big multiplexes. Smaller cinemas still generally show a few commercials and one or two trailers.

More like suing the bar because they served colored water instead of cocktails, I reckon. Those services aren't free. And there is a huge difference between "not being guaranteed success" and "being guaranteed failure", which is the case if the allegations are true.
