It's a problem because people have claimed that GH was supported , but did not sell. In fact, it has not been supported in a way in 3rd Ed that would show its ability to sell or not sell. Market research is fine, but it is far from perfect. Big comapnies put out stinkers that had positive...

The problem is Greyhawk hasn't been given the chance in 3rd Ed to prove itself as a seller or a stinker. The little fluff bits in the rulebooks are nice, but since they're in the corebooks no one can say what importance Greyhawk had in product sales. The Gazetteers were not the quality of the...

I have managed to get a hold of part of McDonalds press release announcing the buy. McDonald's is proud to announce today that it has acquired Wizards of the Coast. The world's biggest roleplaying game company is the perfect fit for the world's number one fast food franchise. For too long the...

I hear the most likely buyer is McDonalds. They have major plans. D&D Miniatures will only be available as the toys in Happy Meals. 4th Edition will be released on the wrappers and boxes that sandwiches come in. You'll have to buy Big Macs buy the case to have a chance to collect the full...

I don't think most people have problems with armor having spikes. A lot of gaming art depicts the spikes so big that they are a danger to the wearer, or puts them in locations that would drastically hamper movement. That tends to be what people have problems with.

I like just about any sword swinging movie. Unfortunatley, Pathfinder was one of the few I don't like. It was too far-fetched to be good, but the characters weren't campy enough to make it fun in an over the top way.

As has been mentioned, Chaosium does have some Trademarks relating to the Cthulhu Mythos. The question of Lovecraft's works being in the public domain is tough. It appears that the interested parties failed to act when they could have extended the copyrights. Arkham House's attorney testified...

I doubt it will be related to Cthulhu as that wouldn't require a license and they're already publishing the Cthulhutech RPG. http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/home/detail.php?qsID=1353&qsSeries=Flaming%20Cobra My guess would be Fallout. Glutton Creeper was making a Fallout D20 game under...

Including all the groups I've regularly played with, the number of female gamers has been 5 in 28 or about 18%. In the groups I was in before college it was 0 in 15. In the groups during or post college, it has been 5 in 13. Those numbers only include regular players and DMs, not people that...

He didn't physically have all three, but he had the cloak, the stone and was the true owner of the wand. He dropped it while in the flying motorcycle's sidecar.

It made any spell cast more powerful, when used by its true owner. A major point of the fairytale was to show that having more power doesn't actually make you unbeatable. It will still be a strong draw to any wizard that craves power, such as Voldemort and Dumbledore in his youth. No matter...

I voted for waiting because it was the best fit. I don't have it pre-ordered, and I'm not getting it at midnight. I plan to walk in the store and buy it Saturday morning.

-The average person can't tell the difference between a spectre and a ghost. -Most dungeon floors are conveniently made out of 5' by 5' blocks of stone. -The draconic word for a village full of halflings is smorgasbord. -Falling isn't dangerous. It's the landing you have to look out for. -Orcs...

-1 in 10,000 humans is actually 2 halflings disguised by one standing on the other's shoulders. -The average Gelatinous Cube is deaf. -When you are in a room full of people, and yours is the only reflection in the looking glass, you may be in trouble. -7 out of 10 kobolds are certifiably insane...

-A broken clock is right twice a day. -Most vampires don't own a sundial. -Blood stains don't show up on a red cloak. As long as the blood itself is red. -A flying horse is called a Pegasus, so a flying elephant must be a Dumbo. -The leading cause of monster death in a dungeon is forgetting...

The part of the first Doctor was also played by Richard Hurndall for the 20th anniversary special the Five Doctors. William Hartnell had died 8 years earlier. Hurndall did a very good job playing the cantankerous old man. Unfortunatley, he passed away a year later. As Raven Crowking has...

The movie scene with McGonagall putting up with Umbridge giving out "lines" does not fit in with the books at all. One of the main ideas from the books and movies is that the wizarding world is set apart from the normal world. Wizarding society is still very much 19th century in outlook...

Yet it never stopped him from shooting first and asking questions second. "Five rounds rapid!"

Oh boy favorite companions. 1 Vislor Turlough -The only companion with major ulterior motives. 2 Ace -Smart, competent, and not Mel. 3 Romana -She knew what she was doing, and was another Timelord. 4 K-9 -Robotic dog with a laser in his nose. Nothing could be cooler, except maybe a robotic...

I like the setting and the look of the animation. The characters are kind of interesting. The writing and storylines seem completely child oriented though.
