And the counter claim that 4e is the new hot ### and better than anything before it is not? The traditions and sacred cows where not just done away it, their slaughter was celebrated and anyone not liking it was told at length how bad they were and how great 4e is for finally getting rid of...

Pre-WoW the horde started the first war Pre-WoW the horde started the second war Thrall reformed the horde and promised to be better - and the alliance believed them Then Garosh become Warchief and started another war against the Alliance. After he was defeated, with help of horde rebels, the...

That's what it wanted you to think. Don't tell me you did not stay for the extra secret after-after-credits scene of Tree Man?

Wow, the after credit scene was just pure cruelty :(

Articles about Gygax and Arneson about their early home games that lead to the first published version of D&D. If you read through thee there seems to be almost only hack&slash dungeon crawling going on. Characters were as nuanced as being named "Erac's Cousin" with such deep character traits...

What a nice surprise. So if she keeps growing at that rate, you better prepare your lawn for the next one you'll get in a few years :oops: I finally received the shipping notice. I guess I need to look up her stats to calculate how many rounds she needs to fly across the atlantic. It's a shame...

Can't we just keep discussing M&M's? How many flavors do you guys have in the US? In Germany for most of my life there was only chocolate or peanut. Nowadays it's still those two with crispy having succesfully joined the former duo and salted caramel seemingly also making the cut from limited...

Can we at least all agree that the pure chocolate M&Ms are terrible and the only edible sort are the M&Ms with peanuts?

The irish are "the irish" and the Scots are "the scots" because they have been continiously living in Ireland and Scotland for the past 200 years. Yes, to their eyes it goes away, not necessarily when YOU move, but when your children and grand children and great-grandchildren are born abroad. If...

Auril 24 + 1 = 25 = is it to late to ask for a white christmas? Is this humble offering enough? Chauntea 33 Ilmater 30 Kelemvor 9 -2 = 7 Lathander 21 Malar 11 Mielikki 33 Oghma 21 Selune 30 Silvanus 21 Sune 13 Talos 18 Tempus 33 Tymora 31 Tyr 28

Not ignoring, just disagreeing. That's how cultures develop over time. They see something from another culture, like it (maybe only because of missunderstanding it), adapt it (often in a bastardized version that may be insulting to the original culture) and that's it. And if their bastardized...

He's saying exactly what he's saying. That in his eyes they are not good enough for mighty culture. If some english guy thought different and the general english public agrees with him, that's a matter for the english and other countries are free to disagree with that. And which opinion is the...

IMHO it's a marketing stunt to generate goodwill toward his new books. I have trouble taken this serious from the guy that always hated the extended drow pantheon and is one of the reason that Eilistraee and her good drow, that existed for decades already, have been downplayed and ignored...

And after that we get an amends on behalf of atheist groups that is apologizing for the amends about the Athar Faction on behalf of the religios groups Note however that the european neighbours are getting the same mocking threatment in Asterix. All europeans are ridiculed from the french POV...

Careful, that's a roman idiom ;)

I am pretty shocked that british look back so harshly on the roman times. Don't you have restored patches of Hadrian's Wall that are treated as cultural heritage and place of yearly roman renfaires? We sure have those along the Limes.

Legal systems of the world. Blue is based on Roman law. It certainly stuck around much better than anyone elses. Anglo-Saxon law certainly did made much of an impression outside of US/Commonwealth

And it was inferior to that what the romans gave us. You can see how the development of the formerly occupied areas of germany was leaps and bounds ahead of the free german territories for centuries to come even after rome retreated and ultimately fell. If you fell better then shed a tear for...

And yet the brought us civilization, urbanization. We kept and cherished those even after kicking the romans themselves out. I am regularily going to cities that were founded by the romans thousands of years ago and still going strong in modern germany. The legacy of the roman occupation are...
