    White Wolfs pay to play deal...

    i'm pretty sure theres a difference between "charging" players for a game, and the players chipping in to buy books/ minis/ pizza. but IANAL. yes. i've ALWAYS wanted to say that.

    How fast will you read Harry Potter 6?

    me and the gf actually bought TWO copies of OotP because we both wanted to read it quickly. Since I thought book 5 was a complete dropping of the ball, stall tactic or proof that she really doesn't know where this is going, I think I'll just wait till the gf is done with this one. So it'll take...

    Best movies of 2005 . . . so far

    simply? none. unless you wanna count Serenity which isnt out yet. besides Serenity I've seen constantine, pooh's heffalump movie, sin city, hitchhikers, star wars, batman, war of the worlds. None of the others qualifies as an 8 or higher.

    Rate Spielberg's War of the Worlds

    hmm. enworld musta eaten my response. "hollywood" is out. when so many movies in a row suck, the potential audience loses faith in "holllywood"s abilitiy to make good movies, and therefore doesnt go see movies that theyre on the fence about. If Hitchhiker's Guide, Star Wars, Batman and WotW...

    Rate Spielberg's War of the Worlds

    WORSE THAN BATMAN. For those who didn't read the Batman thread... i didnt like it and gave it a 4. This was worse. Star Wars, Batman, Wotw. three strikes and your're out. Why are ticket sales down? Just look at all these craptacular movies.

    How do you handle cohorts?

    I've already givien the OK to a character concept in my next campaign where a PC will have a cohort. The cohort is already being worked in to the characters backstory, will be written out in the first session of the campaign, and will return as a cohort once the leadership feat is taken. I'm...

    More examples from Weapons of Legacy

    I'm pretty sure theyre cumulative. so the save penalty starts at -1, then goes to -2, then to -3. NOT -1 + -2 = -3 + -3 = -6.

    Can any comic fans fill me in on current Marvel continuity?

    you can find comics just as cheaply as you can music and movies and tv shows on the internet. if thats not your style, marvel has released at least the first 500 issues of amazing spider-man in a CD set. (the problem being, its AMAZING only, so you'll only get parts of crossovers) and i think...

    Can any comic fans fill me in on current Marvel continuity?

    they very well might be better off if they just switched to TPBS. at the very least, some of the stories would be readable, which they aren't as monthly issues. which is the main part of my problem. they keep publishing monthly issues, but only to make TPBs and to make movies and to make video...

    Can any comic fans fill me in on current Marvel continuity?

    As a whole, people who talk about comic books over-use the word continuity and I wind up adding to that myself. I'll try to clarify by giving some definitons as to how I will try to use words. Continuity- keeping faithful to what has previously happened to your character or team, and not just...

    Can any comic fans fill me in on current Marvel continuity?

    Vigilance. I'm not sure where you got that information but I know some of it isn't true. And I doubt other parts of it. I don't recall "continuity" having anything to do with Claremont leaving. Especially since his run on X-Men was so long that most of the existing continuity was his own...

    Can any comic fans fill me in on current Marvel continuity?

    Carnage: There was a huge prison break out in New Avengers #1, in New Avengers #2 Carnage met his "end" Venom: Don't recall the exact issue numbers, but it was in Marvel Knights: Spider-man. I THINK it was the second storyling (7-12) where Eddie sold the suit, but some of that might have...

    <Rant> Where has courtesy gone?

    a few random notes about this thread, do you know whats rude to me? having every conversation fiilled with endless amounts of pleases, thank yous, your welcomes, and meaningless other pleasantries. life is short. time is valuable, if i say "pass the salt" and not "pass the salt, you...

    The Tick on Toon Disney

    You can't fight evil with a macaroni duck! I'm adding this into my shiny new Tivo. hopefully, it will get huge ratings on late night cable, the DVD will follow, and this show too will be brought back from the dead :D um, maybe not. but a boy can dream, can't he?

    Can any comic fans fill me in on current Marvel continuity?

    yes. good catch on me saying "venom is dead" when he's not. chalk that up to trying to get a bunch of stuff out at once. i also agree that the current lack of continuity is killer. as many people as i've seen complain about too much interconnectedness "forcing" them to buy multiple books and...

    Batman Begins: How would you include Robin?

    you forgot the best part about Jason Todd. Um... just in case. HE'S BACK. Maybe. Some guy in a domino mask just beat on Joker with a crowbar and Batman think he looks familiar. They still haven't called him Jason in the comics, but in every interview he is referred to as Jason. (More bad...

    Can any comic fans fill me in on current Marvel continuity?

    and before anyone reads this thread and says "gah, comics suck, i won't buy/read any" remember that I'm summing up longer stories in single sentences (where every comic story will sound silly) and that I have been soured a lot by the marvel universe in the last 2 years so some of my dislike...

    Can any comic fans fill me in on current Marvel continuity?

    you are completely misled. astonishing picks up exactly where grant morrisons run on x-men left off. it is 100% tied in to the continuity of the marvel universe. now, i'll question this: why would you ONLY buy a title because it doesnt fit in with other titles? wouldnt you really be buying it...

    Can any comic fans fill me in on current Marvel continuity?

    House of M is either an Age of Apocalypse story, or will wind up completely changing Marvel continuity. So you might just want to wait till its done to see what happens. In other news: (and this will have spoilers for anything I can think of) got that people? SPOILERS. ALL OVER. Scarlet...
