    Firefox 3 Annoyance

    Curious...Does anyone have trouble opening tabs by using the ctrl-click method? In particular on the new Enworld 2 front page (because I'm not having that issue anywhere else)? The new tab does appear, but the front page of Enworld changes to what I clicked also....very annoying...

    looking for a 4e game (houston)

    I'm looking to try out 4e in the Houston area. I'd prefer to play first. Any demos in the area? Any conventions? or anyone just interested in playing around with the system? I'm in the clear lake area, but I'm will to drive anywhere in the greater Houston area to try out the system.....

    Feeling short changed by 4th Ed.

    I had a friend in High School (some 18 odd years ago) who once said that whatever section of the rules has the most pages is the most important. We were playing boardgames and that was his strategy for mastery. I filed that philosophy away in my mind.... and it occasionally rear's its...

    How has the 4e/3e schism affected you?

    I bought the 4e books core books. Do I plan on buying more 4e books? No. I am not going to bother until I see a overwhelming need. I am not currently playing in a 4e game nor do I plan on running one, so why should I? My wife who is a gamer does not even have her own copy of the 4e books...

    Yeenoghu Entry = AWESOME.

    I liked it...but it is missing something...possibly it is the name dropping (people & places) in previous DoI articles....or maybe the detail... also I am having a psionics issue with Demons in 4e...i.e. I can't get past the elemental part...I know it isn't that much different from how they...

    Do You Regret Ordering Online?

    Mine shipped yesterday and will arrive by ups on Monday. I don't regret a thing...because I got them for FREE. Work gave me a bonus gift card and I could determine what the gift card was going to be....I said Barnes and Noble simply so I could get work to pay for my 4e.

    You don't like the new edition? Tell me about it!

    agreed. I'm tired of all the posture for and against 4e. I'm hoping it'll settle down. <back to the OP> What I don't like about 4e... it'll be the vista of D&D - change for change great wheel toast demons being elementals summoning and illusions coming later monsters and pcs being...

    Dr. Who season 4 episode 8 "Silence in the Library"

    So of course my wife and I watched this late at night by flickering candle light! argh...my wife had to whip out the computer and play Webkinz for a few hours before going to bed! I stayed up for a little while because it was a fraking two parter! If I had known that I wouldn't have watched...

    4ed PDFs - Are you still getting the books?

    For all those that do download the pdfs, scan in a copy of your receipt when you purchase the books and attach it to the pdfs. Instant legal watermarked pdfs. Having a receipt is the only way to prove that you own anything. I always want both a hardcopy and a pdf copy of the books. (do...

    Russell T Davies steps down from Dr Who!

    Yup... Silence in the Library (24 May 2008) - Writer Forest of the Dead (31 May 2008) - Writer Funny thing about 'Silence in the Library': the first words out of my wife when she saw the preview, "oh another Blink episode." I have no clue if the same director was used, but I think it was...

    Russell T Davies steps down from Dr Who!

    I just saw this over at Circvs Maximvs I've been sold on Steven Moffat since The Girl in the Fireplace...but Blink has a warm spot in my heart too. Here's what he has done on Doctor Who to date: # The Empty Child (21 May 2005) # The Doctor Dances (28 May 2005) # The Girl in the Fireplace...

    Is anyone sticking with 3.5?

    wow...the fluff is getting updated? I think changed is a better description. 'Updated' implies that it is a small increase in the original product. I see it as a total scratching of the old fluff with some bits left over for flavor. I have no interest in 4e's fluff and I'm going to miss...

    Iron Man Director Jon Favreau credits his success to D&D

    The first sentence is about himself, but the 2nd sentence is a generalization of the D&D social life....in effect saying that the game we are playing is "asocial to the wider world". and my personal view (and example above) is gamers make up all stratas of society.

    Iron Man Director Jon Favreau credits his success to D&D

    I'm always surprised when people say stuff like that....I mean sure I know D&D players that have gone no where with there life...but I've also know D&D players that succeed on a massive scale.... Two of my best DMs can be expressed in that way. Both are very social, but one centered his entire...

    will 4.0 succeed?

    Abandoned would be a good description for me...probably why I'm sticking to the core books. I don't mind using the new system with my old settings... However for my wife, she feels like WotC was a custodian for D&D and instead of protecting and adding on to the legacy of D&D, they've wrapped...

    Doctor Who SE04 EP04: The Sontaran Stratagem (spoilers)

    I think Russell Davies said that Earth episodes were more 'profitable.' I can't remember the episode...(I think it was Satan Pit) but he pointed to an offworld episode and said the costs to produce were higher and the number of viewers was lower for off world episodes. hence tons of Earth...

    Doctor Who SE04 EP07: The Unicorn and the Wasp (spoilers)

    I started laughing the moment the Clue references started appearing. I just continued. The cyanide bit was great too I have to agree the mystery aspect was lacking...

    Five Alignments?

    I haven't read all 9 pages of this thread.... but as far as alignments...I think it is strange that they have 5 alignments (ok I find the exclusion on LE & CG silly), but I'm not really going to care if they really removed all the mechanical effects (or most of them) of alignments from the...
