    [Trailer] The A-Team

    I think all 4 of the original A-Team actors were pretty much perfect for their roles. It's going to be tough for the movie actors to get the characters and the group chemistry right. Edit- I should mention I mean the 4 actors that made the original series. I'm glad they recast the role of...

    Doctor Who - the end of time [spoilers]

    I liked the End of Time storyline overall. The Doctor jumping out of the spaceship was a bit much.:eek: The 10th Doctor showed some angst over his impending regeneration, but he was no coward. There was never any doubt he would sacrifice himself for Wilf. I liked the chances to say goodbye...

    Merry Christmas! And Happy Doctor Who Day! :D

    Dr Who RPG

    I've had it about a week, but haven't had enough free time to read it all. There are rules in character creation for creating Timelord, alien, and robot characters. The game background is definitely geared to running the Doctor plus companions. The Doctor would be the brains, but companion...

    Plastic Coins?

    It looks like Paizo has repackaged Campaign Coins for their Gamemastery line. http://paizo.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wo/DHwYtOg8icDDM3iO4kJPPw/2.LongResponsePageSenderID They are also listed in Alliance Game Distributors online catalog, so US FLGS's should be able to get them easily once...

    WotC_Rodney's WFRP3 review

    The outside of the box says "not a children's toy age 13+ hobby product." I suspect this disclaimer is mainly about avoiding the level of component testing required for toys. The Warhammer world is grim/dark but you could avoid subjects inappropriate for children easily enough. The main thing...

    My Warhammer 3E arrived today.

    The ratcatcher career is included in the first expansion the Adventurer's Toolkit. It's already been released.

    Derren seems to be talking about the Amazon sales lists which only cover Amazon and update hourly. The Pathfinder RPG core book is #1 right now, but 4th ed core book set and the 4th ed PHB collection are #2 and #3. Amazon.com Books Bestsellers: The most popular items in Gaming. Updated hourly.

    What would you use a d4 and d12 for?

    The d4 makes a perfect caltrop. The d12 works well as a random hour generator.

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #10:Justice/Season 1/2009

    It's cool. :cool: The world would be a boring place if everyone saw things the same way. :)

    Sherlock Holmes (2009 version)

    I'm looking forward to this movie. If it had been the first ever Sherlock Holmes movie, I'd be wary of the changes, but there are plenty of movies that have done justice to the original form of the great detective. An action movie won't ruin the classic image of Holmes.

    Who ruined D&D's Rep?

    It was all E.T.'s fault.

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #10:Justice/Season 1/2009

    There wouldn't have to have been a trial. Young could have called everyone in and showed them the kino footage of Rush. No one would argue with Rush being locked up at that point.

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #10:Justice/Season 1/2009

    I don't know that it was one of their top projects. It was also a project so bogged down that they programmed an equation into a computer game to get it solved. That doesn't really speak well for the team involved. Just like Rush and the science team. There would definitely be SGC military...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #10:Justice/Season 1/2009

    You really think the IOA or the military is going to put a lonewolf like Rush in charge of researching Destiny? :confused: He isn't a team player. He is an unpopular outsider, even among the scientists. Wray doesn't seem to like him. The IOA wants them all off Destiny and its own picked...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #10:Justice/Season 1/2009

    I finally got a chance to watch this episode on Hulu. I liked it a lot. Rush isn't working under lifeboat ethics at all. He is Ahab and Destiny, plus its knowledge, is his whale. He's not overly concerned with anyone else's survival. He has no interest in finding a way home. Afterall, he...

    Oots 693

    It's a reference to what Elan said in the 6th panel. Obviously Elan has always wanted to be turned into a dinosaur.

    OMG! The PCs are murderers! Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh

    My players must be doing it wrong. They don't go around murdering people. They kill monsters and the occasional evil person who attacks them first.

    Has Lovecraft become required reading?

    Call of Cthulhu is actually one of the last stories I'd recommend to read if you're only reading a single Lovecraft story. Try The Shadow Over Innsmouth, The Dreams in the Witch House, The Lurking Fear, Dagon, or The Dunwich Horror.

    Falling out of love with your game

    Games can change. Rules bloat has been mentioned, but games tied to established settings also can suffer from fluff bloat. Sometimes an evolving metaplot gets in the way of fun. Some games are fun to play and run early, but get less fun as characters progress. People change and the gaming...
