*wipes brow, exhales in relief* I was that close to a Skywalker tantrum, you know.

What is it and where is it showing? Is it a development of the game? This is the first I've heard of it. Thanks! TWK

Oh, and that kid's father? Biggest. Jerk. Evar.

All of those trailers and teasers are awsum with awsum sauce. So were the Star Wars trailers. It's not the effects or the choreography, it's the plot and characterization that I found lacking for those movies. Those Transformers trailers make me want to see the movie (that's their job, and...

The captions go by too fast. "What? What did that say? What am I supposed to be scared of?" TWK

I really liked, "Nobody invades my city, and absolutely NOBODY HURTS MY DOG!" That was just really funny. TWK

I am reading Terry Pratchett's novel Thud!, which I highly recommend, by the way, and I'm having a good time except for some very noticeable typos. There are two so far that I've noticed, and both are place names. First, "Uberwald" is mis-spelled "Woerworld" early on. Second, near the end of...

Well, what if the adventurers are people that the common soldier looks up to? If the adventurer thinks the battle's not going to be tricky, wouldn't that give hope to the soldier? "Yeah -- we can win this thing!" It's akin to Aragorn talking to the young boy just before the seige of Helm's Deep...

There's an issue from the early Chris Claremont X-Men days, in which the phrase shows up; it is used to summon help from other carnies. That was in the mid to late 70s. I've never heard it used in any other media, myself. Just Marvel comics and Keep on the Borderlands. I'm still not quite...

Spoilers Galore I ran into a problem with BG + TotSC, in which I had , but when I went to talk to the sheriff, the game wouldn't progress. I wonder if it's a problem in that everyone's maxed out on XPs. I don't know for sure. Has anyone had any other trouble? I'm waiting on an account with...

Yes, he does. I hope nothing bad happens :)

I'm not sure how much of Koschei made it through to the D&D lich, however. Yes, he is an undying skeleton-sorcerer who keeps his "death" in some other thing than his body; but he has problems with women, specifically, he can't help loving them. Quite often a canny woman will use his infatuation...

Yes, I have. In my last game, the ranger was built around bastard sword/shield bash as a two-weapon fighting technique. Don't ask me why he chose those two, but it seemed to work. And I must disagree with your second sentence. For the bulk of that game, we had the ranger, a paladin with a...

You, sir, are evil. Congratulations on getting your book published. I don't tend to buy from Amazon, but I might just have to make an exception in this case. Happy days! TWK

I just saw this for sale at the local used-book store. I flipped through it for five or so minutes, but I didn't see anything that grabbed me. I guess I must have missed the whole "giant wedding" part [Yoink!]. I considered getting it, but the last game I ran was an adaptation of "Against the...

What do you mean, "despite Butcher's involvement"? Is it that creators involved in TV and movie adaptations is not something you enjoy? Or was that a typo? I'm not trying to flame anyone, I'm just confused :\ TWK

Here's another vote for another ship and crew. Shatner, Nimoy, &c. were the Kirk, Spock, &c. There can be no replacements! On the other hand, I am not particularly interested in seeing them involved in another movie. I want something new, with a new ship (not necessarily a Constitution class)...

Remember that action movie where the male lead and the female lead fell in love with each other, even though they spent the entire movie yelling at each other? TWK

Yes, yes it did. I won't deliberately post any spoilers, but I gotta love the smack talk between Dalek and Cyberman: "The Cybermen are superior in one aspect only: You are better at dying." The Cybermen got in a few zingers in reply, but the awesomeness of the rest of the episode have driven...

My wife woke me up in the middle of the night after watching this episode by exclaiming, "Moaning Myrtle!" I said I was happy that she'd remembered where she'd seen Ursula before, and rolled back over. I was sad for Elton's "family," but most of all for Ursula. She now faces the problem that...
