    LE Orcs

    Yeah. I'd make their new favored class fighter. Well, the edition for which the blue book was published only allowed for Lawful, Neutral, and Chaotic, and at the time it was generally assumed that Chaotic is the same as Evil. I agree that orcs in 2E were really more CE than LE, but it's...

    Smallville - 11/3

    I expected not to like this episode, but it turned out that I did. I was wary at first of the changes made to Mister Mxyzptlk, but considering that the target audience of Smallville is adolescent girls, I can't really blame them for casting the lovely and talented Trent Ford instead of a...

    Halflings -- what version (if any)?

    Huh, I actually like both. Lightfoots and hairfoots each have their place in my setting (along with tallfellows, stouts, etc...).

    Smallville.....

    I thought this was a pretty great episode. I enjoyed almost all of it. It's not the best this season, but it was still great. I''d bet that this was a reference to the very first Superman villain (and arguably the first super-villain ever), the brain-switching Ultra-Humanite, from back in the...

    Who were the Gith?

    I don't believe that's ever been revealed. In 1E and 2E, the proto-gith were supposed to be genetically modified humans, and in 3E they're apparently now supposed to have been merely humanlike. That's about all I can tell you about them.

    Favorite TV Theme Songs?

    The Greatest American Hero -- "Believe it or Not" Cheers -- "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" (again, especially the long version) Frasier -- "Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs" Family Ties -- "What Would We Do Without Us" Growing Pains -- "As Long as We Got Each Other" (original version, not the...

    One thing that bothers me

    I agree with you on your point. Like someone else said, though, it's nothing new. Looking back as far as the 1800s, you have Sherlock Holmes outsmarting Inspector Lestrade in every other story. It's not always the case, though, fortunately... I mean, Commissioner Jim Gordon is every bit as...

    The Thousand Orcs

    The Thousand Orcs is the only D&D book I've read, and I enjoyed it. A popcorn book, yeah, that's what I'd call it. I found it pretty entertaining. I also got a good idea of what the characters were like without having read any previous books by Salvatore. One of his strengths, in my opinion, is...

    Smallville 10 20 04 (Spoilers?)

    Birds of Prey... ick. I kept watching it week after week, praying it would get better, but it never did. I gave up on it a couple episodes before it was canceled. The best I can say for it was that I liked the actress who played Babs Gordon/Oracle. She was good in the role. Other than that? I...

    Return of... the Flumph?

    Holy moley. They can't be serious. My avatar is overjoyed.

    Smallville 10 20 04 (Spoilers?)

    I absolutely loved this episode. I'm a huge fan of the Flash, and I think that they did the character justice (despite mangling his history). The races were just awesome... I was speechless. First Bart running across water in the first one (I actually turned away for a second and missed most of...

    Comic recommendations?

    I'd recommend Batman: Haunted Knight and Batman: The Long Halloween, by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. Also any TPB of JSA by Geoph Johns. I'm totally in love with his stories, having read JSA: Darkness Falls, JSA: Fair Play, and JSA: Stealing Thunder, the last being my favorite. I can't comment on...

    Vulture conversion

    Yeah, basically just an extra-large vulture. Here it is.

    Vulture conversion

    Hmm, I'm pretty sure you did the condor.

    Shining South Monsters

    Yeah, though the kreen weren't too different from the normal ones.

    WOTC finally updates the brownie and boggart!

    Yeah, I really liked the forestkith goblins. They're not fey, but they work well in the same context. The skullcrushers might find some use, but I agree that they're mostly superfluous.

    WOTC finally updates the brownie and boggart!

    Yeah, the domovoi was in Dragon #290... but it was just a ghost with a forest gnome as the base creature.

    Converting First Edition monsters from DRAGON magazine

    Well... in that case... ;) When the orpsu is done, any chance you might consider the ursik from the Creature Catalog II? And maybe the variant included in its entry (the vitch I think)?

    [Request] Need psi-monsters from The Illithiad!

    Yeah, there's the "cranium rat swarm" in the Fiend Folio.

    Shining South Monsters

    Looks nice. I wonder if it's supposed to be like that "cobra dragon" from 1E Dragon Magazine.
