    Am I crazy...?

    Even using someone elses models with a few modifications, as most people on DeviantArt do, those require a whole lot more work than most D&D players are willing to do. Creating a model from scratch, as the best digital artists all do, isn't even worth considering for the general public; it...

    Beowulf

    The art of animation is about simplification and exageration, or more broadly speaking, suggestion rather than literal depiction of movement. This can be obvious (i.e. Chuck Jones) or more subtle (Pixar, or even effects for live action films) but it's there in all decent animation. These...

    Things to do in NYC when you're a geek?

    The Illustrators Society is pretty cool. At the moment, it has a dozen or so gaming illustrations in there.

    Beowulf

    And every animator I know is still pissed about that. While there's nothing wrong with motion capture, it's not animation.

    Pitch me your ulitmate D&D movie

    I've always thought that the story of King Kius from Eberron could make an impresively original fantasy movie. Title: Kaius Plot:(Spoilers for Eberron) Have roughly the first third of the movie deal with his fall from grace; his role in the start of the last war, consorting with Vol to save...

    Babylon 5

    Rewatch these two scenes and say that again. (for those who haven't seen the series yet, the first one has some subtle spoilers and the second has none) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se9FNdyKFtk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbBRrK9Q-rw

    D&D 4E Review of 4E from a Playtester

    I suspect it would be more proper to say "once per day when you would otherwise die."

    Midnight Chronicles

    Last year they had a trailer. I wasn't there this year, but I thought I read that they would have the full movie.

    Babylon 5

    If you do skip through season one (which I'd recomend if your feeling dubious about the series after the first few episodes) be sure to watch Believers. It's not essential to any story arcs, but it's an awesome episode.

    Midnight Chronicles

    I think it was shown at GenCon. It takes a long time for independent movies to get distributors, so I imagine it's in roughly the same place as Dorkness Rising.

    Babylon 5

    I think there's a reasonable argument for watching ITB first; while it does give away several plot points, it also means that you start watching the show with something good, instead of the rather dreadful first half of the first season.

    Gleemax Terms of Use - Unacceptable

    They are guarding themselves against lawsuits. They don't want someone suing because the believe (rightfully or not) that a certain ability in a book is like what they posted on the Wizards boards. I doubt they have plans to deleberately mine ideas from the forums. Besides, it's not like you...

    Need Help with Aragorn Ranger

    I would argue that Aragorn's remarkable healing skill would translate into spells. I think if you kept the ranger the same except for skills (more social skills on the list) and a combat focus tree built around single-sword fighting, you'd have something pretty close.

    I personally know about thirty teens who play D&D, though only about ten do so regularly.
