Neither. Despicable Me looks a touch more entertaining, but neither trailer was terribly interesting when I saw them in front of Toy Story 3. Brad

That little punk. Took my rogue from full to unconscious in a hail of slingstones. DM was sure it wouldn't do much, and then rolled 3 18s. He got away, too. We've had one actual death that I can recall, when one of the group's DMs was getting to grips with 4e and was consistently...

One of my DMs has been absolutely awful about that. When stuff arrives from several rooms away two rounds in, that's just a bit...unlikely. Brad

Am I the only one so far in this thread who's thought of The Humping Robot, from Robot Chicken? Brad

I attempted to get a DM to let me play one in a gestalt game, taking racial HD on one side and something barbarianlike on the other. Oooo, that'd've been rude. Brad

In Arcane Power, paragon feat, allows you to add one elemental keyword (acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder) to an existing power. You may take multiple times, but has to be a different power you apply it to. Brad

Really, there should be an Implement Focus. Because the way Weapon Focus works, compared to the feats like Burning Blizzard, it's just more efficient both in feats and stat points to use a staff, a spear, or a dagger as an implement and use Weapon Focus than it is to use a wand, orb, or...

I rather enjoy them. It's fun to one-shot things. They also tend to not throw out annoying conditions. Obviously, they shouldn't be the entire encounter, or in every encounter, but IME, they're generally fun for players. Brad

I'm using my Droid, but the music player is pretty mediocre; I found an app that does nice things with it (like, say, plays the tracks on an album in order), but it's still kinda meh. I'm tempted to bring my old Creative player along still, but that turns into a two-device issue, and I only...

All of this. You're far more likely to be grabbed than any other save-or-suck ability. And no, you don't have a fighting chance, unless you're specifically built to do that, which is its own weird corner case. The other unfun save-or-suck abilities are (a) rarer and (b) somewhat easier to...

Our cats' names were typically descriptive and not terribly creative or unique. My parents currently have two outdoor/garage cats...a queen named Callie (short for Calico), whose mind is so gloriously empty that she'd be an excellent picker of stocks, and Fluffy, a longhair tom who was both...

It's primarily that any monster that is at all specialized in it can grab and hold any PC, unless that PC is a dedicated grappler themselves...which is pretty rare IME. So, it's easy PC-boning. Granted, you can and should count on your fellow PCs to have words with the monster and eventually...

And it really needs to be renamed Eternal Offender; it's far, far better for beating stuff down than defending. But that's neither here nor there. Brad

"Just one orc? Why didn't you kill him?" I miss Zogonia. Brad

How scandalous! Saw this last night. It was actually pretty good. The plot generally made sense, there were lots of nice explosions, and it was funny as hell. I strongly recommend it. Also, be sure to stay to the end of the credits. Brad

It was also briefly seen in the first Iron Man movie, on his workshop table. Brad

It's amazing how many cat and other pet names wind up ending in a -y or -ie sound. Actually probably shouldn't be, but I can think of...maybe four* of the many, many cats we had that didn't have a diminuitive name. * - We had: Hyper (a very, very active cat, found in a soybean field nearby)...

I'd like less conditions. Most of the other issues are best-resolved with players paying attention and DMs not being silly. Brad

This also depends on the avenger player's luck. I think I've rolled doubles that would hit on Oath attacks maybe 3x in my avenger's lifetime. I also had a disturbing habit of rolling 19-20 less than 10% of the time. Brad

Hate: Spelljammer, Ravenloft, and Dragonlance Love: Birthright Ravenloft gets hate because IME it's something used by DMs to "punish" players. Also, I never really cared for "gothic horror." Spelljammer and Dragonlance get hate because of the tinker gnomes and giant space hamsters. Also...
