    Why do levels one and two suck so bad?

    Because we've played level 1 and 2 characters soooooooo much. Honestly, how many aborted campaigns have people run that start at level 1 and get to about level 4 or 5 before the DM loses steam, the players lose interest, the game halts due to RL concerns for an unknown amount of time and then...

    "Eat Your hearts out my fellow gamers" Vol 2

    At least he didn't regale you with tales of his 151st level elven magic-user that killed Vecna, Iuz, and Asmodeus... at the same time!

    Rich Baker Comments on the lack of FR products in the 1st Trimester 08 Catalogue

    You forgot Boots of Faerun, Potted Plants of Faerun, and 'Yet Another Realm Directly Analogous to Someplace on Earth' of Faerun. Why should Greyhawk get the shaft in favor of FR Giants? Why couldn't it just be a generic Giants book as opposed to FR specific? Needs?

    Magic and D&D Artist Glen Angus has passed Away

    :( I always enjoyed his art and his unique style. He'll be missed. My heart goes out to his wife and children.

    Rate Transformers

    Glad to be a service! :) I think they're actually pretty similar in quality, though I liked SM3 a little better... for whatever weird reasons.

    Getting Monster Manual II added to the SRD

    The potential is there, but, like I've said many, many times before, MMII is just a crapshoot. Sure it has a couple of good monsters, in fact, I'd say that MMIV and MMII have an equal amount of usably good critters, MMII just has more crap. People complain about MMIV's fixation with spiders...

    America gets crappy Adultswim

    Well, Cowboy Bebop helped launch AS 'back in the day' so I still feel that it has its place, as long as they find new and interesting shows to put on. NOTE: Not much of an anime fan anymore and I haven't watched AS in months because Venture Brothers has been in rerun hell for quite a while so...

    Psionic Devils?

    Psionoloth Psionic counterpart to the Arcanaloth that I homebrewed a while ago.

    July purchases...

    Monsternomicon II Monster Manual V That is all. Though I might pick up the WHFRP: Bestiary book during the upcoming 'd20 dry months.' That's a snazzy looking book, though hella expensive for its size.

    Good but obscure movies you've recently discovered...

    Anyone seen In the Mouth of Madness? I remember watching it when I was younger and being fairly creeped out by it. I'm not sure how well it'll hold up, but next time I go to Best Buy I'm gonna see if I can pick it up. A friend and I were discussing the viability of Cthulhu movies and I...

    Live Free or Die Hard

    Ditto. Live Free or Die Hard was great. It was improbable, it was over-the-top, it was a return to the 80's and early 90's style of action movies. It had some great comedic moments, good character chemistry, and lots of cool action. I didn't expect much, but it delivered. It was just all...

    Monsternomicon 2

    I've been reading bits and pieces of it for the last few days and, as with most PP stuff, it's pretty damn good. The PP folks seem to have a better handle on mechanics than last time, though I have noticed a few gaffes here and there. The art is as good as it always is, the creatures are...

    Fortune Magazine: How Nintendo is beating Sony and Microsoft

    The original Killzone was the height of mediocrity, both in graphics and gameplay. I never understood the furor over that game, but then again I'm a PC gamer so obviously my opinion shouldn't count. ;) Still, I'd rather play Halo on the X-Box over Killzone any day of the week.

    July - What are you listening to? (Books AND music)

    Been listening to, well, everything since I now have an iPod. :) But, I did pick up the new Velvet Revolver (Libertad) and Smashing Pumpkins (Zeitgeist) albums. Of the two, I prefer Libertad.

    WoTC products, going downhill?

    Mid-2006 saw the release of several very, very worthwhile books IMO. Since then, the topics have mostly covered things that I have not been very interested in at all or have received some very poor press (the recent Complete books and Expedition books). Based on what I've seen (Fiendish...

    Rate Transformers

    I gave it a 6 for two, BIG reasons: 1) Waaaay too long. 2) Despite it being long it doesn't develop half it's characters properly even the transformers don't get more than a passing nod. The decepticons are woefully under-represented and are reduced to the 'here's my name and I'm coming rargh'...

    What do you think is the hardest AD&D or D&D video game fight?

    The frakking Nabassu from BG1: TotSC. What does he have going for him? Well, he has a bunch of nasty paralyzing/death attacks that don't kill you right away, but kill you... erm later. He hits hard, he's hard to hit and if you kill him while the cultists are still alive, then they die and each...
