So the real complaint is not that your knowledge is useless, but that it takes work to "fix" the setting to your preferences. It would be less work to port stuff backwards, no? In some respects, I agree that it takes too much work to change settings, but even with that in mind, it's less than...

How does it make your accumulated knowledge useless? That's the part I don't get. I'm honestly asking here how anything in the 4E FR nullifies your experience/knowledge with the pre-Spellplague FR.

I have the series DVDs and my daughter loves them. I love them from a nostalgia point of view, but they don't do it for me as an adult. There's also the issue that all the kids are humans, and the one wizard is about as inept as it gets for much of the storyline, and the cavalier is just...

I've read a great majority of the novels of FR. I must be in the minority in that I liked the Spellplague. I liked Toril before the Spellplague and I like it after. And I have the imaginative ability to play in both, and can read novels set in both. No one came into my house with guns pointed at...

How do you reconcile these two statements? If you don't like the Spellplague, don't play in it. And don't long for the destruction of the setting either. It just seems fairly strange phrased the way you have it. Me - I said I don't care because I develop it differently anyway. I'd like to see...

Run out of bullets from missing everything smaller than the broad side of a barn. ;)

That might be the case, but I'd hazard a guess that going just with the pricing of something like the deluxe limited editions would price out most of the market. Particularly new customers and the younger market.

What are the sales numbers for the deluxe editions like compared to the regular versions? I don't buy them. I can't afford to. Focusing that much effort into the cherish side of the equation prices me out of being a customer.

Like a lot of the opinions I'm noticing here, I really would like to see the basic core book focusing primarily on consumption. And I mean that in terms of both function and form. It needs to be durable, easy to navigate, and concise. It is the book of rules for playing the game, and those rules...

He looked pretty ageless at the end after killing the Thern on Earth. I didn't see a change in age, and there was a picture from his time in the Civil War in the background of one of the shots where he looks identical there as well. Also keep in mind that in 1881 he looked to be about 30, which...

Same thing happened to me. Regal, by any chance? The extra $3 a ticket was a bit of a drag, but the 7:30 showing time beat out the 11. I'm too old for that.

I think I would have most of the group hole up in the basement. Herschel mentioned stocking it all up for a few days just in case. Assuming he managed to do just that, the main group would stay with the house, doing what they could to barricade themselves in and then retreat to the basement. At...

To be clear, in the movie, the Therns were a sort world-destroying, chaos-eating, alien race that seem like a weird cross between the Marvel Comics villain Galactus and the Goa'uld from Stargate. I don't think their motivation is hard to determine. As for why they use cats-paws...think of it in...

I just finished the first of Gygax's Gord the Rogue books, "Saga of Old City." It has an old-fashioned dungeon crawl that takes about about 30 pages. It's not a huge ruin with a lot of exploration, but it is fairly entertaining. The book has hit-or-miss sections. It reads more like an extended...

I think there were a lot of marketing problems, foremost among them "not enough marketing." There've been more ads for that Eddie Murphy movie than John Carter, at least where I live.

"Thern" and they aren't portrayed in the books as they are in the film. They appear, in the film, to be evil immortals that feed, so to speak, on chaos and destruction. In the books, they're merely another race of Martian who create a fake religion (Issus) to provide sacrifices to the black...

I saw it tonight in 3D. As others have said, it's very good and I recommend it, but if you're looking for slavish adherence to the book a la "300" or "Watchmen," look elsewhere. It was fun, exciting, and it worked within the context of the film, and was faithful enough to not make my inner...

I think there could be such a debate, but I'll just note that of the two, Huck Finn is by far preferred by educators and many of the literature professor-types that I know. The story of Huck Finn and his growing enlightenment about the workings of the adult world seem to me to tell a better...

That's an interesting way to look at it Wild Gazebo. I find that I actually prefer Huck Finn and The Lord of the Rings. I feel like the juvenile approaches to Tom Sawyer and The Hobbit don't have the same level of appeal as the more sophisticated and erudite approaches of Huck Finn and LotR...
