I saw it opening day. I enjoyed certain parts of it very much, especially the mythic aspects of going to rescue Captain Jack and the story of Calypso. But it was too long and confusing. I wish I'd rewatched #2 before I saw #3. I had a hard time remembering what was going on. The romance...

I am so pleased with the direction the show is taking. This episode was an excellent example of what I'm enjoying: character development. Exploring the relationship between the Doctor and his companion. And no longer using the companion as just a plot device to get captured or ask for...

Letter #39 Patchwall 1 Zier-i-Zief Dearest brother; Well, as usual adventure finds us whether we're actively seeking it or not. We had only a few hours to dress appropriately for a feast at the palace. I think Thor would rather have stayed at the inn with Beaker. The rest of us would...

Heart of Darkness Evidently a few goblins weren't a sufficient meal for the raptors. They rushed out of the trees to surround us. We each found ourselves facing two of the nasty beasts. Roland called for the Silver Claws to encircle our guide, but we found ourselves unable to comply quickly as...

I think you just made my point for me. ;) They're not real people. It's a tv show. Sure, the writers could have written something else, but they didn't choose to. They had somewhere they presumably wanted to go with the story that required Sylar to survive and escape again (apparently), so...

Pretty much anything is allowed as long as the player can come up with a decent reason (other than "wow that class has awesome abilities!") for their character to go in that direction. I think PrC's are great for defining your characters and giving them individual flavor. There are a few that...

This is a good point, but I was thinking just the reverse. Some people like to be the center of attention and the game stops being fun for them when they're not. Unfortunately that's a lot harder to deal with than the player who doesn't want to attract attention. Hopefully that's not the...

I like the LOTR look for orcs, although I think they got a bit carried away with trying to give them variety - some of them look so different that they seem like another species. I prefer ogres to be the type with horns. Most D&D representations of ogres look too much like trolls or giants for...

As I recall the IOUN stones in Vance didn't orbit the head of the user. I'll have to go reread the story, though. Must go dig out my copy of the collected Dying Earth stories... I like the idea of ioun stones because they're weird. I think some magic items should be weird. But I do think...

You're kidding. I've had a copy for two weeks already, through my FLGS.

Clear to you. But I would still contend that if you were there, in that situation, and you were one of those people and not yourself with your personal knowledge and experience, you might do exactly what they did.

I have a sneaking suspicious he was asking about Vancouver, WA. But maybe I'm wrong. :) Portland: Bridgetown Hobbies/The Military Corner 3350 NE Sandy Blvd. 503-234-1881 www.bthobbies.com My favorite LGS. Lots of RPG materials and minis, plus a big selection of RC cars and model kits...

Sylar did not turn invisible. He just walked away while the agent was distracted. Not that hard to do in a crowd. I'm pretty sure they would have shown us if he'd killed Claude. He didn't need to be invisible to sneak away after Hiro stabbed him, either. No one was paying any attention to him...

I have a character who has a pink rhomboid ioun stone (+2 CON). Our party was given six of them as a reward for something we did several levels ago. Most of the other party members use theirs quite a lot, but I tend to forget about mine. I also tend to think that my character finds it a bit...

I sometimes plan a character out, at least as far as looking at a prestige class I'd like to get into, but I always try to leave myself open in case in-game events take me in a different direction. And sometimes a new book comes out with something that seems just perfect for my character, so I...

I had a good laugh about it, too. I also liked seeing Natalie in the hobby store and the brief glimpse of the clerk talking to a kid about buying dice. :)

I thought it was a very suspenseful episode. I really enjoyed what happened to the Doctor, particularly when he told Martha "I'm so scared" at one point. I liked him being really determined to save her, at the expense of everyone else or so it seemed. Yet when they were reunited in the TARDIS he...

Elf paladin substitution levels from Races of the Wild does the same thing. :)

Romana appears in the 8th Doctor novels Interference 1 & 2. Romana also puts in an appearance in a couple of the 8th Doctor audio adventures. Just weighing in on the topic of discussion: I don't think the Face of Boe meant there are other Time Lords out there. He didn't say, "You are not the...

No. My parents both passed away before I got involved in gaming - I didn't become a gamer until I was over 30. I was in high school when D&D came into existence, and I didn't know anyone who played back then.
