    Movie Songs: worse than the movie, better than the movie, carried the movie, senseless without?

    Didn't think I'd have anything to add, then I remembered the '80s Flash Gordan movie. Pure hokeyness that would have been much worse without the queen songs. In a similar vein, Xanadu would be mostly uwatchable without the music.

    2014---IN REMEMBRANCE

    That only leaves Mary Ann and Ginger left. (Dawn Wells and Tina Louise.)

    Rumor: Windows 9 already on its way

    Pretty much everyone I know who's been thinking about getting a new machine has been waiting for nine, because none want to get anywhere near Win 8.

    D&D 5E (2014) Kender are a core race?

    Hey, we knew what she ment. Is your German better? I'd hate for anyone to try reading anything I wrote in another language. Heck, I have enough trouble with English myself! ;)

    People are getting older!

    The really scary part is that I'm a few years older than she is! (But at least Sir Paul is still older than me. ;) )

    D&D 5E (2014) Kender are a core race?

    Never got it, for obvious reasons. But IIRC, and I'm pretty sure that I do, the article in Dragon stated specifically that not only should they be played that way, but the other characters couldn't do anything about it because they were so cute, or somesuch nonsense! Thus my oath to kill them on...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next Q&A: 01/10/2014

    Can't say I like the wording for question 1. Namely, if the options I want aren't in the PHB and DM, I won't be buying 5e/Next at all. And I was pretty much ready to just pick it up as soon as I saw it on the store shelves.

    What are your core races?

    I used to be a big-tent guy myself, but these days I'll settle for Human, Elf and Dwarf. (But I do have a soft spot for Half-Elves.) Of course, I'm willing to let any player play any reasonable race that they want. Adventurers being outside the norm makes that an easy call, IMO.

    Iconic states and nations

    When I think of Europe, its Great Britain, Scandinavia, and the rest of it. Of course, specific countries get thought of when something specific is mentioned, or whatever. (Pizza = Italy, WWII = Germany, etc.) For Asia, its Japan, China, Korea, maybe Viet Nam, and everything else. And hey...

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2013

    Looks like we might not quite make it to 40 pages this year. Hurray!

    Who is your favorite superhero?

    Adam Strange, if he counts as a super hero. (He did work with the JLA later in his career.) And Green Lantern when he was still as much a sf hero as anything.

    D&D 5E (2014) What would be your preferred format for the core rules of 5E?

    I expect the Holy Trinity, but voted for one big (hopefully not too big) book, as I know I'll be getting all three. What I'd like to see is two books, character creation and DM/Bestiary. And maybe a boxed set if it could be produced both cheaply enough and have enough stuff in it to make it...

    Making my own system; how protective should certain armors be?

    What about shields? Most games get them totally wrong, given that a lot of ancient soldiers' only 'armor' was their shield.

    N.E.W. Intro Text

    THe age issue. I think I see where he might be at. There are some character types (and even real people) who are just better when they're young. The fast draw gunfighter, for one. Also, there's the archetypal kid off the farm who's just plain talented/lucky enough to survive and grow. So some...

    What flavor of Superhero do you like?

    Voted for Ultra Hero, just because I know they'll get the least amount of votes. As pretty much everyone else has said, it entirely depends on the story. For me, my personal favorite was Green Lantern in the late fifties/early sixties when he was doing science fiction stories as often as...

    Shamans and witches? (C&C, but AD&D in general)

    Dare I suggest the Houri class from an old White Dwarf? I don't know where you might find it, but it actually makes a pretty good witchy character.
