I watched it and thought it was ok. I'll give it a few more viewings before deciding one way or the other. Was it me or was the alien at the beginning the same species as the alien who gave Toshiko the mind reading device.

Excellent. I came late to the party via the DVDs which ended with The Day of Black Sun Part 1. I kept waiting for the next 3 to be on Nickelodeon or Nicktoons but never saw them there. I was prepared to wait for the next DVD which according to Wikipedia was some time in May but now I can be...

This is excellent. Gave me a real feel for the setting. Any ideas of where I can go to get a peek at the books or its content legally (the previews on FFG seem to be lacking)? Looks like I may have a tough time picking one.

I think we're essentially saying the same thing. 90% sure the GameMastery modules which I've been buying are in the same world. I'll definitely be picking up the Gaz. Thanks.

I've picked up the majority of the GameMastery adventures and I like what I see. I've avoided the PathFinder stuff as I'm not really interested in adventure paths after running the Age of Worms. The issue I've found is keeping the group interested and focused for the whole thing. We're...

Based on the list you provided, I'm interested in hearing more about the settings I've left above. I'm going to steal the questions from the setting search contest and add some of my own (setting experts please pipe up). 1. Core Ethos? 2. Who are the heroes? 3. What do they do? 4. Threats...

Part of the problem is that I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for either. It's like pr0n, I'll know it when I see it. I'm looking for something interesting but not overwhelming and meeting the criteria of being able to run a high fantasy campaign there. While I've read some of the reviews...

The more I think about it the more I'm fine with this mechanic.

I think the biggest issue was that if I were hit by an acid arrow in 3E, I would have the chance in the 2nd round to do something to mitigate the effect before I took damage. This was because the ongoing effect didn't go off until it was the turn of the guy who lobbed it at you (at least...

We looked at Midnight (and it's an excellent setting btw) but felt it was too dark for our tastes.

Your assumption was correct. I'm talking traditional high fantasy, such as Tolkien and Terry Brook's Shannara. I want my humans, dwarves, elves and hobbits to fight the powers of evil, rescue the princess and so forth. I'm not afraid of settings with non-traditional races and such (I use...

I use Arcana Evolved mixed with some D&D as my rule-set. I just didn't find the world and a majority of the races all that interesting.

While bacon does make everything better, we looked at Eberron (I have the book) and while we like parts of it we felt the magic as technology was a bit too outside what we're looking for. We're looking for something in the traditions of Greyhawk and the Realms but with a different take. We're...

My group is thinking of trying something outside of the Realms and Greyhawk. I'm looking for recommendations for some good campaign settings that can handle high fantasy. Give me the good, bad and the ugly. Thanks.

Out of curiosity, did you play these at D&D Experience? In the 1st encounter from Escape from Sembia, the guards can mark you as the fighter and paladin can mark enemies. I couldn't keep track of who was marked by who. Luckily the DM did. I see this as potentially confusing if the group...

I used athletics to climb up some crates to get to the roofs and then Stealth to move along the rooftops (the later was a tremendous success). Unfortunately, most of my team failed their checks. My buddy Dave felt that people would only pick their best skills when it came to these types of...

My point was there really isn't. I was trying to get a feel of the differences between the two systems and see if there are enough "better" (notice the quotes) things to make us want to upgrade.

The problem was that we were all spread out around the room to avoid the breath and the other characters couldn't reach me in time. We had used a lot of action points by that point to keep going so no one had any left.

I got to play the 4E scenarios at a local Con (2+ hour drive) this past weekend. I'm on the fence when it comes to upgrading. I played with two friends, one fairly anti-4E (Dave) and one who's ambivalent (Bob). I have been paying attention to 4E tidbits but haven't been following closely...

Great episode. Was anyone surprised at Michael being on the boat? I'm guessing Jin's still alive on the island. It seems that there's some reason that only the 6 got off and everyone else had to stay (we know that more people wanted to leave). I also get the feeling that the six know they're...
