Dexterity required? Heya: Question for folks: What degree of manual dexterity is required to properly enjoy this game? For example, I played through FFX and enjoyed the heck out of it. However, there was a chocobo race in it that I found completely impossible. In another part, you have to...

Cliches Heya: Speaking of cliches (and the avoidance thereof)... . . . spoiler space . . . Maybe it's simplistic to refer to him this way, but I really expected "the bad guy" (Zimsky, probably got the spelling wrong there) to try to sabotage the mission once the rest disagreed with him on...

Not So Much Pull-List Heya: I don't have a pull-list, although I suppose I should, instead i just grab whatever. Some stuff I _always_ grab: PvP Dork Tower Nodwick Knights of the Dinner Table Liberty Meadows Amelia Rules! PS238 (once it starts coming out) The Authority Storm Watch:Team...

Thumbs Up Heya: I enjoyed it for several reasons: 1) Morgan Freeman is awesome. The amount of slack I'll serrate if he's in a movie is huge. 2) Tom Sizemore is cool. Liked him ever since Heat. 3) I read the book recently and it was kind of fun seeing how accurate (or not) the movie was...

PoR2:RoMD Heya: There's a female lich in Pool of Radiance 2: Ruins of Myth Drannor. Her story is one of the more interesting ones in the game. Bottom line is that an arcane caster researching (and then casting!) a spell called "Mass Ressurection " is probably not a good idea. Take care...

Heya: It sort of feels like some people are focusing too much on that 8 Cha and not enough on the character's lack of social skills. Sure, fighters don't get many skill points, but zero ranks in any social skill says to me we have a character that doesn't care about consequences in social...

Heya: I think my suggestion would be that the next time you hear the word "Unbelievable!" say, "All else being equal, market price really _is_ market price. However, with your character all else is not equal. Your charisma is below average and you completely lack any semblance of social...

Creepy Heya: I left the threatre halfway through The Ring. Not so much because it was scary (although parts were), but because it was creepy. I knew that if I didn't leave, the images would stick with me for a long time (my darn brain holds on to certain things) and I certainly don't need...

Heya: I'm more excited by the fact they're planning on color-coding the movement line. If he's willing to do that, it shouldn't be too much of a leap to allow for waypoints (which allows for true control of movement to avoid AoOs, etc.). In terms of item creation, I'd be happy if it was...

Heya: I, too, loved FFT. I'd heard there might be a sequel eventually. I think free movement (via no grids) can be done well in a turn-based game. What I'd like (and what I'm hoping for) is some kind of stretch control when moving a character: you click the move button, and move your mouse...

Big Statues Heya: The last Wheel of Time book I read had a scene where there were these big (really big) statues buried in the ground up to their necks. Anyone recognize this and can tell me which book that was from? I seem to recall reading the first three and only then recognizing the...

Agreed Heya: I agree. My view of reality would be shaken to the core if the game actually comes out in June. Come to think of it, I'm surprised anyone actually narrowed it down to a specific month. My experience is that companies give a season, and then try to release it before the first...

Heya: Some of the replies made me think of the fun saying, "God willing and the creek don't rise." ;) I've seen that used here, rarely, too. Take care, Dreeble

Things That Would Impress Me Heya: Things that would impress me if ToEE has 'em: o Spring Attack. o Enough spells to make the differences between Sorcerors and Wizards noticeable. o The Leadership feat and Cohorts (but not necessarily Followers). o Resting in the Moathouse or in that evil...

Lana Heya: Usually I feel that Lana is a bit unfair to Clark. I think it's a reasonable tradeoff: Clark saves Lana's life repeatedly vs Lana cuts Clark some slack on secrets 'n honesty 'n stuff. Lana rarely upholds her end of the deal, though. In this episode, however, sheesh, _don't_...

Hard, but fun Heya: I got an XBox just to play Splinter Cell (well, also for Knights of the Old Republic, due soon I think). I kind of wish I'd waited for the PC version, since using a mouse for aiming is far easier and faster for me than a controller, plus the ability to save anywhere in...

Deeply flawed Heya: The "new crappy version" of Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, while deeply deeply flawed, is greatly improved (to at least the deeply flawed level) by a "speed hack" that allows you to speed up or slow down gameplay. For example, hit the '8' key (to speed up) a...

Cartoons, Etc. Heya: 1) Bring back Wormy. 2) See 1). 3) More cartoons and Dragonmirth in general. 4) See 2). Take care, Dreeble

Reversi Heya: If the problem is that you seem to be continually rolling low, then _keep those dice_. Make a card that says on one side, "Opposite Rolls" and on the other "Normal Rolls". At the beginning of a game night with the evil dice, set the card down "Opposite Rolls" side up...

Evolution Heya: I doubt anyone actually thinks this way, but it would be extremely funny if players in some campaign somewhere _intentionally_ refused to come up with good battle tactics. Why would anyone do this? Because they might think, "Well, if we come up with better tactics, the DM is...
