Rockies. No doubt. They've won 21 of their last 22 games. They'll get 8 days of rest. Of the ten teams that entered the series after at least seven days of rest, seven went on to win. Boston and Cleveland will hopefully push their series out to six or seven games too. It'd be nice for the...

Can anyone copy the relevant text? I didn't migrate when I had the chance, and now it won't let me. As a result, I can't log into the Gleemax forums. --G

Not really. Sounds like designer-speak. There's clearly a mechanic they've got in mind that he wants to talk about. He just hasn't had the chance to do so. Marketing-speak would be something like "Aftereffects are a unique new way of monetizing existing monster capital post-encounter cycle...

Some free advice: don't try to do too much too fast. The Planes can be a very inhospitable place. Start out on the prime. Give the PCs a few levels dealing with a cult that's trying to raise Lucifer. Use devils as major villains from 1-6 or 7. Then make the jump to the planes. Let them get...

Boyfriend's not dead. It's more manipulation by the shadowy organization. Jamie will meet his father in a few episodes, there will be a bond. She'll start to trust him. Then, he'll betray her. Boyfriend will appear from "back in D.C." or something to patch her up and explain more of what's...

A troll? Time to break out the flames of reason, and the acid of critical thought! And there's nothing wrong with that. Classic mistake here, assuming that one motivation precludes the other. Maybe the motivation is: "There are some things we really didn't get right with 3.xe. Mearls had...

I hate to say this, but I hated Serenity. I loved Firefly, but Joss is at his best when he's got 20+ hours to develop a story. Confined by the movie format, Serenity was a disaster. Character development was minimal (unless you count death as "development"). And the way major characters were...

I suspect Alejandro's power may be more impressive than merely canceling his sister's power. Right now, I'd be that his power is more like "power negation." This may prove to be important with the advent of the powers virus. Just speculating. --G

This is the good stuff. Why control all 1000HD of undead, when you can control 128HD of Undead Clerics controlling the remaining 872HD?! Select out a stack of decent level intelligent undead and give them a mess of cleric levels. Give the villain leadership, and take even more clerics as...

I'm sorry, but I have to. <a href="http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp05012002.shtml">Warning the content behind this link is suggestive, and might possibly offend Eric's Grandmother. It contains profanity. It's also terribly funny.</a> --G

I'm Chief Justice Rehnquist, and I'm a hell of a rules lawyer. --G

Johnathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Set in England in the 1800s, it tracks the adventures of England's last two "practical magicians" as they try to help the crown in its war against Napoleon. Very good story. --G

I don't think that matters. It's kind of like making a joke about Jewish people when you're standing in a room with one. While it might have seemed innocent at the time, you're still hopping around with your foot in your mouth. And for the record, I'm straight and find it to be in poor taste...

Not if you only worked one month a year. :) --G

Actually, it's in the Hero Builder's book. Basically, it lets you add your Move Object skill to your jump skill by spending 4(?) Vp. The best thing to do, however, is first scrap the d20 Jump rules and go to something like Spycraft. d20's jump rules are excessively complex and try to simulate...

They aren't. As used here, "length of day" refers to a full day (i.e., a 24 hour rotational period). Last time I checked, that's the same in Texas as in Alaska. What you're referring to is the number of hours the pole is exposed to direct sunlight--also called a day. That is entirely a...

I just chalked it up to the marvels of modern medicine. If they've got emergency medical technology suffiicent to heal serious injuries (like those Luke suffered from the Wampa) in an extraordinarily short period of time, it may encourage a somewhat reckless attitude toward preventative...

I went and saw the charity screening last week. I'm not missing Lost. As a longtime Star Wars fan, I'll offer my spoiler free opinion. Sith was awesome. Sith is currently vying with ANH for the #2 spot in my ranking of Star Wars movies. It sure blew RotJ right out of the running. --G

Athasian. Alternatively: . . . with fava beans and a nice chianti. --G

I've had one really creepy moment in my game so far. Early in the game, the PCs "rescued" a 6 year-old girl from a group of hobgoblins. She hadn't been harmed, and the managed to negotiate a peaceful resolution. Then they returned her to her father, a very busy, well-respected member of the...
