I've read that feathers were not in the book's description so it was either the director or the art director trying to have a recognizably different dragon. That didn't bother me at all, but I hadn't read the book either.

I agree with these points. This was an okay movie that had really nice dragon effects and magic effects. The shade and the undead assassins were cool. The baby dragon was made for a plushie or Happy Meal toys. Now, would using Campbell's outline of a heroic journey as a template for writing...

Just finished Return to Quag Keep by Andre Norton and Jean Rabe which was cool; I need to map that place out! Also finished Bill O'Reilly's Culture Warrior which was interesting; to stay in bounds that's all I'll say. :) Now reading the second book of Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy, Royal...

RuneQuest Ducks were a very cool race. I never met anyone that played a duck that didn't have an attitude within minutes of beginning play. The Chaos taint, I suppose. ;)

101+ easy I started playing in '79 with original D&D, PrincCon variant rules. That was a group at a university that maxed at 18 players. I've had several regular gaming groups with different people in PA, NJ, NY, FL and NC. D&D was the primary game of most; although one group was purely...

Arrrgh.... stupid computer calendar did I what I told it to and not what I wanted. *sigh* Advancing the year along with changing the month does give the correct date. razzlefrazzitmargleblargen I'll be trying to get there this time, anyway. :p

Jan 20th is a Friday, so the GameDay is Jan 21st? If AF&G is at that mall, at least there will be plenty of parking and easy food. I'll do my best to get to this one!

When I started there were more than 12 players and about 8 GMs and we all had homebrews. IT just seemed to be the way to go then. Huge fun, and everyone's world had its own flavor. Now, my wife runs FR and I bounce between my homebrew and Greyhawk.

ENWorld is the best source of D&D news, other news of interest to gamers and a fine community. This site is one that I check just about every day. The major part of its allure is how Eric set things up and the tone set by him and his grandma. I've met some excellent people at gamedays set...

A PC once tossed a couple of fireballs in a plain during the summer. There was a lovely conflagration that drove some tribes and lots of animals in various directions. The party was impressed that they could have an effect on the world. :P

I did that by having the Emperor, an ancient lich who had ruled the Empire that covered most of the world with armies fully outfitted in magic gear, etc. That empire collapsed due to a drop in the level of maig in the world to "only 9th level spells" which was an idea gotten from the 1e DMG...

I find it interesting how many episodes are showing something unpleasant about being involved with The Doctor. I liked the ep with Sara Jane Smith, and I like Jackie. Just interesting how they are covering '...those left behind.'. It was funny that the Doctor and Rose completely missed the...

They each drink a foul poison and one of them jumps into the dragon's mouth. Once that happens the other two drink antidotes and run away!

I don't have my D&D Men & Magic available right now but that list does seem to cover a good portion of the spelllist from that august tome. Where others might see cliche, I see classic. Now, I have played a wizard that chose evocation as a forbidden school. I have heard of some DMs who remove...

The way I ran it was that the rakshasa was a master of illusion who disdained evocation spells and had the party fooled about what it was they were facing. Now, I had to admit that the players had discounted a rakshasa as a possibility due to their thinking it would have been too tough a...

'k, Pumpkin, Apple, Cherry, Pecan, sweet potato... Key Lime. very nice stuff. "Pi aren't square. Pie are round;cake are square." ;)

In my homebrew I had the Temple of Our Lady of the One True Way which had clerics of any alignment that was not N/N. There were two druidic gods, one male, kinda celtic, the other was based on Ki, Lady of the Forest. The Temple of OLotOTW was trying to crush the celtic druidic faith so they...

Please don't. I like Wee Jas, I like this idea of a paladin of Wee Jas, but I really dislike deathless. Let a Blackguard of Wee Jas adventure with proper undead, or have an undead like Nick Knight or Angel hang out with the paladin.

The closest I come to watching a reality show is "Gene Simmons Family Jewels"; we think that is hliarious. My wife and daughter are fans of "Meercat Manor". "Doctor Who" is great; "Midsomer Murders" is fun and we like the reruns of "Sherlock Holmes" and "Poirot". I agree about CSI; I like the...

In my homebrew I had an NPC set up that was using a summoning spell that called PCs to him from time to time. OOC, it was the PCs of absent players. However, I had a reason for the NPC to be doing this and a couple of players were trying to figure out what it was. It worked for that game...
