Curious. While I could agree with that assessment to a certain extent, I see Harry as having many admirable qualities, such as his determination and his loyalty. And in the final book he grows up and becomes a truly admirable person. He's able to forgive, to care, and to be self-sacrificing in...

Aw, come on! You really wanted them to explain everything to you in advance? Where's the fun in that? :p I personally really enjoyed the writers just throwing the audience in at the "deep end" as it were, leaving us to find out later just why the Doctor was in that situation. I wouldn't want...

I think Flash Gordon is crap, but I find it disturbing that Mega-Snake has better ratings than Flash Gordon. :eek: Gee, Mistwell, why would you be interested in the ratings for Who Wants To Be A Superhero? :p

I enjoyed the episode overall, but thought the ending was a bit week. Introducing a new character (who wasn't very important otherwise and who we'll probably never see again) just to make that character the culprit of the Scientific Mishap of the Week is poor writing, IMHO. But at least they...

Same here, at least in one group I belong to. It saves on bookkeeping for the GM, and doesn't slight anyone whose attendance or participation might be limited for reasons beyond their control. I like it. I don't care about tracking my experience myself. I prefer it if the GM just tells me when...

No comments from the peanut gallery! :p And for anyone who's interested: the actual combat with Kamaree only took 2 and 1/2 rounds to resolve! :lol:

An Unexpected Outcome Note: I've started recording these sessions instead of keeping handwritten notes. It seems this has caused my character journal to become much more detailed! :D ___________________________ My thoughts turned aside from concerns over moral issues as Re-Horakhty's fiery...

"PCs rarely, if ever, die. DM pulls punches when we would die and it would ruin the story" This would describe all of the games I'm involved in. Most of them have an overarching plot, and trying to come up with reasons why a new PC would get involved with the party would be difficult. But...

We're mostly PG-13, although we run over into R on occasion. We've got one player who can turn absolutely anything into a sexual innuendo, so the R-rated sessions tend to be the ones he's present for. But I was raised to believe that nice people don't use the F-word, and for the most part no one...

Preparing for War Praise the Lady, we've finally reached our destination. At first I thought the buildings were unfinished, as though the village had only recently arrived at its current site. But after a moment I realized that the entire village was cloaked in an illusion to make the casual...

ROFL!!! I suspect the gnome will just be saved for a "Races of..." splatbook.

I'm 46. I'm technically the oldest member of my gaming group, although a couple of the other players have birthdates within a few weeks or months of mine. But I don't think ENworld is actually indicative of an aging player base. First of all, being in the 30s isn't that old when a larger...

My thoughts, too. They'll want to give it more of a romantic relationship. And the kid, if there is one, will be played by some horrible overacting Hollywood "prodigy". And Gort will be a giant Transformer-style robot with chainsaws and circular saws on its arms. And the scenes of Klaatu trying...

42 minutes is the length of a standard episode of Doctor Who. So they were making a point that they can tell an entire story in 42 minutes. It was rushed because it was supposed to be. That said, I think it wasn't the strongest episode this season. But I really liked the scene where Martha had...

Letter #45 13 Patchwall The Plane of Air When I went to train with the druids of the Tree I never thought I'd spend so much time serving as a warrior. Delna fell asleep as soon as she activated the power of the show glass. I suppose using such power took a great deal out of her. We were left...

Back away from the thesaurus, kiznit!! :uhoh: And shouldn't that image be Munch's "The Scream"? That might be more apropos of the occasion. ;)

For a long time we were still using our 3.0 DMG, but last Christmas my fiancee gave me a 3.5 copy. I haven't touched any other 3.0 book for many moons.

Aeschylus (sp?) was also elevated to godhood IIRC. I do agree though that it seems very common in FR. But if you look at other real-world pantheons, the Egyptians for example elevated all their pharoahs to deity status. Imhotep (not the one from The Mummy movies) was made a god and he wasn't...

Didn't anyone have Gary bless their d20, or rub their dice against his for luck? :D

At CM. (selfish whine) I wanna play in a PbP at CM!! ;)
