It seems to me someone else {(cough)Edena(cough)} brought this up a few months back. IIRC what was decided was that the Nazgul could certainly see them if they tried that route, so it was out. I personally think that it's hard to fill three volumes with one ride on the back of a giant eagle...

Hmmm.... Let me second both Keep on the Borderlands and Palace of the Silver Princess. I got into D&D waaaay too late to experience a bunch of the formative modules such as Tomb of Horrors, so I don't own anything hardcopy except those two. I'd ask for some sort of Combat & Tactics, but that...

And Another Thing.... Forget the quibble between Sorcerer's Stone and Philosopher's Stone. We've had several people who call it nothing but "The Adventures of that Little Annoying Brit-Punk Devil-Worshipping Leads-Kids-To-Satan Twonk." But seriously.... IIRC (and I should, I just read the...

Actually, the European printing press was created by a German living in Strasbourg -- which is a French city right now. It might be German again any minute, though :D We can argue and bicker about 'oo killed 'oo, but when it boils down to it we're all Cro Magnon at the heart. I have found...

I would hesitate to call Mark Lenard's Romulan Commander a villain. I think there is as much honor and integrity in him as in Kirk, but he's not the opposite of Kirk. Neither of them wants a war, but the major flaw in the commander is he won't speak out against it. I have a feeling that Kirk...

OK, now entering the ring in support of SciFi books.... I highly recommend Diane Duane, though she likes to write Star Trek books. Lois McMaster Bujold is currently on my hot list. Any of her books in the Vorkosigan series is good. The little Admiral kicks ass! Orson Scott Card is good...

No, the movie is intentionally being named "The Two Towers" because the book it's based upon was named "The Two Towers." There's no basis to complain that this is an intentional effort to capitalize on the events of last year. The movie was essentially made before those things went down...

Eh, from what I've read of Paul Kidd's work, if you ever meet Keraptis and you don't have a pottery flask full of green slime ready, run as hard as you can.... I've been to the ESD download page. Drool............... So many modules, so little money. Tom

Hmmm.... For a while there, the Western was in resurgence. I think "Silverado" kicked it off, then you got a couple movies about Tombstone and Wyatt Earp, but in the last couple of years I haven't seen any new Westerns. I'm not a big fan of the Duke, but I liked "Liberty Valance" and "The...

I'm confused. Could you elaborate, please? Which comics do you have in mind? But he's just one gay man. You could ask my opinion about something, and you'd get the opinion of a white middle-class American male, but that doesn't mean it's the opinion of all white, middle-class American...

But Jinx's TBird has been hyped almost as much as the Aston Martin. I was disappointed to see that it didn't get as much screen time as I expected. The only reason they didn't hype Xao's car is because he is the bad guy, diamond-studded though he may be. On a side note, as they're chasing...

I second almost every book here, except for the ones I haven't read :D I would add: Just So Stories, Rudyard Kipling Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, T. S. Eliot A Wizard of Earthsea, Ursula K. Le Guin The Warrior's Apprentice, Lois McMaster Bujold The Black Company, Glenn Cook Anything...

I enjoy Bond. I think most of the movies are good for laughs. He's so over the top, I find it impossible to take him seriously. So I guess I'm not inclined to get too worried about the implausibility of his gadgets or his stunts. It worried me more that the red sports car was able to fall...

At the risk of sounding totally clueless, what's a chibi? TWK

I take it these are free downloads. How does one go about viewing them? With a web browser, or what? Yeah, the Legolas is a bit ... um... but he does the twirly things with the knives! TWK Twirling rocks!

Yeah, Nightcrawler's got the tattoo thing going on.... I didn't recognize Rogue at first. They don't really have her hair lit up, so I didn't recognize it. I think that's really one use of individual costumes: trademarks. No matter how the artist draws the character, if the trademark is...

I must speak up in defense of GURPS Supers. Yes, normal GURPS is very deadly, but they've taken pains to counteract that in Supers. Frex, you could use the Stun rule: You have a number of Stun points equal to 5 x your hit points. Then, people can whale on each other for a while, doing Stun...

Haven't been to the website for a while, and when I finally get to go back there they've taken the character bios down. They had this whole database, poof! gone. Anybody know if there's a mirror site or someplace that preserved all that info? TWK Not such a Marvelite that he can quote the...

I bet it's a ringer. Frex, here where I work (no I won't say where exactly) there's one guy named Gary Mitchell and one guy named Gary Jackson. That doesn't mean the former is going to go mad and get 1337 brain powers after crossing the energy field at the edge of the galaxy, and the latter...

Okay, so it's a new series. I was just saying it's been done -- not that Mr. Bendis seems to be reading the archives very closely :D Besides, we haven't yet seen either the Chameleon or Mysterio. That makes them prime targets. As for the webbing... Peter's left plenty of the stuff...
