    Watchmen: The Keene Act promo

    Hmm... I wonder if you have read the series recently? The entire premise of this short is lifted straight from the graphic novel, even including the very specific style of the costumes from that time period. Heck, those costumes are *identical* to those in the Watchmen series. I mean, if you...

    [Goodman Games] Blackdirge's Dungeon Denizens Now Available in PDF!

    Blackdirge- I am not interested in a pdf version, but am very interested in a hardback version. But, wheh I go to Amazon, I am confused: I see a pre-order pending for softback, and only a (single) used seller for hardback, with the same retail price for each. Can that be right? Is one of...

    Heroes #14: (Volume 4: Fugitives) A Clear and Present Danger/2009

    Two thumbs up. I am not sure if it was a new direction, new writers, or what-- but if this is the new tone of the show, I will keep watching. My favorite part was Sylar kicking butt. I am still not sure about turning him into an antihero when he is a mass murderer, but the character (and...

    Throne of Bhaal novelization, Minsc?

    I remember really liking the novelization (at least by game novel standards) but do not recall Minsc in it. I will confirm tomorrow unless somebody does so here before!

    Hey Rouse! (a couple things about the character builder)

    Tempest Fighter Bug The Tempest Fighter should get Two-Weapon Defense as a bonus feat with its class feature, but does not.

    Forked Thread: Boring Striker Powers?

    Forked from: Forked: "Math and Grind" or "Why Rechan is Right" (From: "4e One-trick ponies") I found these comments interesting (hence the forked thread). The context is that both Rechan and Cadfan preferred more tactical powers, with the thought that combat will be less "grind-y" with...

    Underworld 3

    Shilsen- Not meaning to judge, but genuinely curious, did I read this correctly? Your girlfriend liked Underworld mainly for Kate Beckinsale in leather? :O

    Another Stealth Question (KotS spoiler)

    This is how our group plays this. For clarification, you hide using Stealth with total cover/full concealment, and can move while staying hidden as long as you have cover/concealment (not requiring total cover/full concealment). Without any cover/concealment enemies will see you and you are no...

    10% of brain = 100% stupid

    You mean they are not??? Oh, wow-- I guess I get to stop listening to the briny voices in my head. Whew.

    Disciple of the Lich Paragon Path

    Thanks for the XP! Whee! :D

    Multiclassing Barbarian

    I am going to swim against the stream of advice here. I would suggest that she start as a Barbarian, and then take feats to make her more Fighteresque to taste. The Fighter multiclass feats already exist (both in PHB and more in Martial Power) plus it is simple to take armor proficiency feats...

    Holy cow! (Awesome music video / LARP thing)

    The song sucks, but thumbs up on the video. I liked the dying dude drinking the beer and having it spit back out of the spear hole in his gut. Nice touch.

    Disciple of the Lich Paragon Path

    Cool. I noticed that my language above was wrong; what you said here is what I meant to suggest. :) I like the second idea (absolutely as an encounter power, not just daily). If you wanted to beef it a bit, you could use the language from one of the Warlord powers that say "as if you spent a...

    Disciple of the Lich Paragon Path

    I really like the flavor and feel of this paragon path. It is even cooler that it responds to a player's idea-- big cool DM points for that. I think all the features are flavorful and balanced, so have no suggestions there. On the spells: Cursed Word is too tempting for a Warlock player to...

    Brainstorming a non-Jedi Force user

    FWIW, this is literally identical to what I did with my "non-Jedi Force user" other than my levels at 1 and 3 being Scout rather than Noble, since my background was from a mechanic/slave rather than nobility. It works great. You will feel very different that other regular Jedi PCs, but still...

    Sell/Give Away Dem Books! Forked Thread: Did You Buy the First Three 4e Core Books?

    Chicago GameDay is always in need of gaming donations for the prize table... I know *I* would be happy to get 4e books as a door prize! :D

    Warlock's Curse multipliers

    From an optimization perspective, it is tough to beat (and maybe impossible for a Warlock to beat!). However, my Warlock does not have one, and instead opted for a Pact Dagger when he had a chance for one or the other. I knew the Rod was a "better" item, but I just love to get into melee range...

    D&D 4E D&D 4E and psychology: Hit chance too low?

    I have not checked the stats on this assertion, but my gut-check experience backs it up. Both our Wizard and my Warlock seem to miss with annoying frequency. At first I thought it was because our Attacks were both too low relative to our melee specialists, until my DM pointed out that other...

    Avatars of War miniatures

    I cannot tell from your post if you are used to putting together GW/Confrontation/etc. high-end minis-- they are *all* like that! :D Anyway, I would just google around for using green stuff to putty in the cracks; it helps seal the bond as well. I assume that you will need to pin the model...

    Paladins in Fiction

    Agreed, and he continues with the concept of Knights of the Word into the most-recent trilogy (set later in time). They are really great books if you like modern fantasy; I enjoyed them more than most of his Shannara series (which is apparently the far future following the modern series-- a bit...
