    The Tyranny of Choice

    I'm frustrated over choice. Not the limited scope of it, but rather the preposterous scope of it. Hundreds of 1-20 classes with hundreds of prestige classes, thousands of spells and races, and who knows how many bloody feats. The information overload actually makes it harder for me to make a...

    Today's pop culture...

    Eh, there are so many modern talented rappers its crazy. Thats the one genre of popular music I think that has taken a huge step forward. Granted the stuff that is popular now doesn't hold a candle to the stuff that was reigning the 80s and early 90s.

    Seel me on Exalted

    If you want a more "spiritual" game where the gods play a huge part in the world inspired by wuxia/over-the-top martial arts and myths its a solid game and an interesting setting. With a little hunting you can get the 400 page full color hardcover for about 30 dollars, which is a good value for...

    Today's pop culture...

    On the Ghetto Boyz thing, its actually Geto Boys. Black Eyed Peas were borderline classic, now they're crap. On the Pee Wee thing, anybody else find that totally inappropriate for Adult Swim?

    What's your screen name from?

    No Name, what are you named after? Miami's No Name defense? Or is it supposed to be a joke? Just curious.

    Today's pop culture...

    Good, the 80s should come back, if only for the music. Hardcore rap and thrash must rise again! On the clothing and fashion side, none of this should be acceptable Guys wearing eyeliner and make up Spray on deoderant Popped collars Wearing a pink shirt if you aren't a good chested lady Idiotic...

    "Roleplaying": Thank you, Mr. Baur

    Preach it, brother. Staying in character when fighting and acting as your character would IS roleplaying. I wish more people would get that.

    GenCon Indy 2007, let's shake the male/female ratios--or not, they seem fine here ;)

    Why increase female and minority participation? Everyone knows that the white male is genetically programmed to have a mind for roleplaying systems, kind of how the black male is genetically programmed to suck at swimming. I blame it on the buoyancy and the lack of an ankle bone. Just kidding...

    Deluxe Gaming Products - Lessons from Ptolus

    I'm in that same situation. I've got more game systems than I feel I'll ever use, and I'm interested in another 3 or 4 but nothing that I'm going to be totally distraught over(Here's looking at you Talislanta, Ramlar, and Artesia!!!) Its just the thing, premium is overrated to me. I'd rather...

    Unsatisfactory BBEG Fight?

    See boys and girls? This is why Leadership and mooks were invented. Arrgh, this single monster or PC 2 or 3 levels about the group has led to one thing consistently. Not climactic seat-of-the-pants heavyweight slugfests... but Gangbangs. The solitary enemy rolls a lousy initiative even with...

    Dish Network- my experience with them

    I've been hounded by their telemarketers for going on 6 months now. The giveaway is that they don't even sound like they're from Wisconsin. Hell, they don't even sound human!!! "We'yre frum Deeyush, the sssssattelite phone compney..."

    Deluxe Gaming Products - Lessons from Ptolus

    I wouldn't do deluxe things. But it really angers me that the things people are saying should be "deluxe" aren't the industry standard. First off, indexes and glossaries ought to be mandatory, if a book doesn't have them it should be laughed off the RPG stage and subjected to a harsh slamming...

    I'm a little lost. Please help.

    This is a time when the Fighter clearly dominated... BECAUSE THE FIGHTER WAS SUPPOSED TO DOMINATE!!! I'm guessing the DM saw that you were a combat beast and wanted you to get your jollies by Cleaving through some mooks. When the Rogue gets to pile on sneak attack dice on a lone foe or the...

    The Boston Massacre Of 2006!

    I'm a really big Minnesota Twins fan so I rooted for the Yankees. It made me feel dirty. For the record, I hate the Red Sox, too. They're the slightly less expensive, underachieving Quasi-Evil Empire in my book. Any team from a big market spending over a 100 million dollars a year on their team...

    Favorite Video Game Weapon!!!

    I'm not that big a fan of the game of the series but in Halo 2 the shottie is awesome. We'd put everybody invisible and have a blast on the small levels like Foundation. 8 GAUGE RAGE!!!

    Dual cover runs?

    Eh, I've got about 20 softcovers and they've been all aces for me. They do take more wear on the corners if you aren't careful but I'd be willing to take a 5 or 10 dollar price cut to the vast majority of books I buy. Its not that big of a deal with me.

    Spiked Chains: Pure cheese or sometimes OK?

    Hey, Jotunbrund personal item of Enlarge Person, get some reach and hit adjacents. Aw, yeah. I don't think its that bad, the only way it'd be really nasty is if damage rolls were open ended/penetrating.

    Dual cover runs?

    I'm a real system/setting addict and one that has my attention is Ramlar, I'm really thinking about preordering this puppy. Anyhow, the publisher is doing softcover and hardcover versions of the books, with the hardcover versions costing 5 more dollars. If more companies would do this would you...
