Well, conventional wisdom would say that you should never bet against Brodeur in an important game. But I don't see any money on the table. ;) Really this one is too close to call. Giguere has been facing practice shots for way too long and might not be in the zone any more. But if he's...

Or take the cue from Uncanny Dodge and list it as "Acrobatics X". Cheers

Hey, we owe the Leafs a big debt. You can't learn how to be a winner without learning about losing first. The Leafs taught the Sens everything they know about losing. ;) Cheers

Since I can't afford to make it, Corel CentRE better be freaking berserkoid tomorrow. It was awfully noisy for Game 5, so much so that the players were commenting on it after game 6. We don't need "plastic hot-dogs" to fill the building with noise. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Cheers

Show of hands: Who gave up on the Sens? They are legit. With one game, winner take all, anything can happen. The Devils might win, or the Sens. My money (if I were a betting man) would be on the Sens, though. There is lots of jump left in their young legs and they definitely have the...

I don't think that it is the place of the OGL to dictate the sharing landscape to that degree. There are some publishers who wouldn't be in the d20 market if they were forced to share their trademarks. If the OGL mandated that certain trademarks must be shared (e.g. titles, campaign setting...

I don't know if this is the sort of solution you are looking for, but I treat all shadow-creatures as outsiders. Not mechanically, they keep their creature type and such, but from the perspective of the story. They can be summoned with incantations to perform specific tasks or for a specific...

I think that D&D has been in the same ballpark of complexity since the early 80s. Not necessarily in the rule books, but at the table. I've played in 1e games that had ad hoc AoO rulings (generally if you did something stupid near a guy with an axe, or you tried to disengage your opponent...

I don't want to take anything away from Brodeur, but from what I saw of last night's game the Devils are taking advantage of the refs being soft on obstruction to take away the Sens speed advantage. The devils are great at knowing exactly where the line is on obstruction and skating right along...

Stanley Cup Playoff Record -- Most Consecutive Shutout Minutes: 248m, 32s - Norm Smith, Detroit, 1936. In best-of-five SF, Smith shut out Mtl. Maroons 1-0, Mar. 24, in 116:30 overtime, shut out Maroons 3-0 in second game, Mar. 26, and was scored against at 12:02 of first period Mar. 29, by Gus...

This looks like as good a guidline as any I've seen for reviews. I think that in general numerical scores only give a patina of "objectivity" to the subjective reviews, though. And I really don't trust them, especially in the absence of comments in the body of the review. Just like any other...

Still not sure how the hell Broduer let in 3 goals but oh well. First one was deflected off a skate. Second one was deflected off a stick. Third one was a perfect pass, to a team-mate in perfect position. Can't be blamed for that. Given that the Sens dominated the bulk of the game, they...

My reading of the OGL (Section 7) prohibits refering to Product Identity, Trademarks or Registered Trademarks without a separate agreement. So you couldn't just point to The Book of the Righteous by title (being at least Product Identity, and possibly a Trademark) without Green Ronin's...

Nah, it means that you have to tie the leading lady to the altar before you start the incantation. You end up with the hero racing against time to interupt the incantation before she is turned into a toad. Very B movie, very suspenseful. Yes, it weakens the Incantations a lot, but these are...

Well, Mr. Cook's book will be on store shelves long before the WotC book. They are probably going to be so different in content so as to be unrecognizable. Monte's will be more ambitious, and polarizing. Either you love it or will hate it. WotC's will be more middle of the road, and...

Hey Billy (I can call you Billy, can't I?) Don't sweat it. The Canucks are just starting to come into their own. I'm from Ottawa and we've been working (slowly to be sure) towards our breakout year for almost 3 years now. Hopefully this will be the year. I see the Canucks only getting...

Re: I am baffled Rope a dope?

Conversely, a Prime Minister is the leader of a parliamentary system. Assuming that she/he is also the head of state (which isn't always the case, the Queen is the head of state in England and Canada) he* is first among equals, in a way. He is not elected or appointed separately from the...

In Urban Arcana there are four or five proposed explainations for why no one, not even shadowkind, know anything about Shadow, but no proposed explaination for what it is. You can leave it out or make it work differently to suit your tastes and it won't necessitate cascading effects throughout...

Seeds? A la ELH spell seeds? I'm no expert on the ELH, but that is the inspiration. OK, not quite sure what you're talking about there but hopefully I will by week's end lol. You can't cast incantations solo (none that I can recall, anyway). I'm just proposing that you get a bonus to your...
