Clarification: I LOVE ToEE! Heya: I followed the link and read the thread and just wanted to clarify (I actually I thought I put this in my post): I'm buying ToEE the nanosecond it comes out. Did playing the demo increase the chances that I'd do this? No, because I was _already_ planning on...

ToEE and ComicCon Heya: I played the demo at the San Diego Comic Con this morning a bit. Here's some random thoughts: o It looks a bit like Pool of Radiance:Ruins of Myth Drannor. Not so much in terms of graphics (ToEE graphics are far better looking, far more colorful (PoR had mile after...

Driving a robot... Heya: I don't recall having as painful a time in the previous games moving Lara around. It felt like I was driving a robot usually. Want to open that door? Turn a bit, drive forward, oops, too much to the left, put it in reverse, turn a bit to the right, drive forward...

Same Ol' Heya: It's funny how _always_ in these types of threads, some people choose to defend the "bad guy". Now, admittedly, we never know who really is the bad guy, since we never have all the information. But it doesn't matter, anyway. As somebody said above, life is too short. He's...

Black Isle? Heya: Wow, very cool. Is he involved with Lionheart at all or something else? Anyone know? Take care, Dreeble

Thanks Mike: Thanks much. I was too into my little program and not paying all that much attention to your 1.10 - 1.20 - 1.30 - 1.45 thingy. I'll look at that some more. However, unless I've got a bug somewhere, I still don't like Scythes I think. Probably a bug, though. Does anybody have...

Numbers to plug in? Heya: With all the discussion on 3.5 Power Attack going around, I've become really curious about this stuff. Mike, could you give me some numbers to plug in, since I'm just not seeing Scythes being worthwhile _at all_ (well, relative to Great Swords at least). Thanks...

Crystal Heya: Yep, and thanks. Very clear. Factoring in criticals really changes when it's optimum to use power attack. Also, I'm not too impressed with Scythes now, I think. ;) Take care, Dreeble

Small sidetrack Heya: This is hopefully only a very small sidetrack. I'm curious as to how people determine average weapon damage when taking into account criticals. I understand people (Spikey, for example) have their own average damage calculators, but I wrote my own anyway. I was...

Dueeliz's Speaker In Dreams Heya: I'm also completely looking forward to this. I read on his website that he was invited up to Bioware to interview but that things didn't work out and that let the sails out of his enthusiasm. I'm hoping SoU will reinvigorate him and we'll eventually see...

T&T Heya: Woo! A Tunnels and Trolls reference! Yee! On topic: The visual of what happens when, say, three Magic Missiles fly out from the caster's hands, streak towards the target, and swerve 4 feet to the left, exploding in blue sparks against "empty" air, faintly outlining the _real_...

Heya: I don't think the market can support "all" the new games, but I do think it can support more. The bad games will fail (as I think some have already), the poorly thought out games will fail (as Sims Online will), the niche games will get by (Jumpgate, for example), and the "good" games...

Heya: I enjoyed the game. I finished it with Niobe and mostly finished it with Ghost. I'm a dirty cheater, however, and used the infinite focus hack. ;) The gameplay was okay, but what I really enjoyed were the cutscenes, which were clearly filmed along with the movie. Very nice. My...

In 5 levels? Heya: I think Gallo is in the right on this one but I'd like to ask (as Tsyr might): "In 5 levels, if the PCs encounter a similar bridge, will the DC still be 20, or will it now be 25?" Other than that, yeah, no opening rulesbooks at the table unless the DM asks the player to...

My thoughts Heya: World of Warcraft: I'm also way looking forward to this one. I like the graphical style (mildly cartoony, like the games) and the feeling of "size" from some of the screenshots. Also, some of the developers have played Everquest and I'm hoping they will be able to steal...

Misc Heya: Being abusive is bad, of course. That said, how kewl was their armor? If one of the heavy armor wearers had Full Plate of Vampire Immunity then, yeah, I can see how he'd want to suit up. Also, what about alignments and personalities? If some of the players are relatively...

Baldur's Gate Heya: In the Baldur's Gate CRPG series it was often an effective strategy to initiate combat with casters and then (if at all possible and, yeah, it wasn't always possible) run away a bit and hide until the enemy casters' buffs wore off. Sounds like this might be a good...

Related questions Heya: I've had some questions since Savage Species came out where i wanted to clarify my understanding. This seems like a good thread to quickly slip the questions in. ;) 1) +ECL then (for example, Drow are +2 ECL) means the same thing as LA now, right? 2) Since Half-Ogres...

Miscellaneous Heya: Some miscellaneous thoughts after seeing the movie twice (once on Friday and again on Sunday): 1. Yeah, why run away when he knows he can kicks Smith-butt? His first fight with Smith (in Matrix 1), he was spitting up blood all over the place (in the Matrix and the "real"...

Memories... Heya: Wow, yeah, thanks for that link. I followed it and I'm going to order V&V, Space Opera, and Aftermath. Never really played the latter two, but loved the rules. We used to play the heck out of V&V. In fact, we would sometimes play "Danger Room": roll up a V&V character...
