    Who is the greatest mage in Sword and Sorcery? (Black Company and Thieves World!)

    I'd have to second Enas Yorl for Thieves World - simply because he is still around.... Other wizards and powers were mentioned - but Some are Powers, some Godlings, but most are dead. Roxane is dead, dead, dead, destroyed, ripped apart, seperated and gone (for real, not coming back, this time...

    That's Mr. Whiffenpoof to you young lady! Kids these days - no respect for their elders! Or youngers. :D On the bright side, we actually got WLS to post! A Rare event. We now leave the friendly banter to return you to the Story Hour, with a new post due At Any Time! (or so I hope)...

    Best SNL skit ever

    Jesse Jackson's tribute to Dr. Seuss. He read Green Eggs and Ham - totally serious, utterly straight face, utterly hilarious. And Massive Head Wound Harry. The dog started to pull off the makeup - the cast could not keep a straight face, they had to stop the sketch early. Unintentially...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    A Sage Camel? Could it be? Excellent! I have wanted to use one since I first read about them. It's a Sage. And a genius. And a Camel. Watch out they spit. :) More! More!

    Movies - This weekend at the Box Office 08.22.2005

    Corpse Bride? Wallace & Gromit? Serenity! And, of course, Harry Potter. - that should perk up the Box Office for the last months of the year. :) W&G is the one I'm really looking forward too. The shorts were simply brilliant, and Chicken Run was fantastic - it will entertain, I'm quite sure.

    How do I love GenCon? Let me count the ways!

    I've been saying for years 'I've got to make it Gen Con next year..." My wife even asked me in June - Did you want to go? And I said, nah.... Gen Con 2006 - I'll be there! Until then, sulking in the corner with Kanegrunder and DungeonMasterCal.... ;)

    What does a horrible monster want?

    It wants to stop being a Ancient Bad Guy of Unspeakable Evil. But it is just so HUNGRY and it needs to Feed! Imprisoned so long, some manner of Sainly Martyr's soul which was eat has worn away at the Evil. Of course, its very existance still warps the world around it, and it is more than a...

    Some Things Are Just THAT Deadly! *My players STAY OUT!!!*

    Can they run if in trouble? Most encounters in D&D are *really* hard to retreat from. What is the lowest move of the party members? Highest move of the possible Bad Things? Many times, despite warnings, a party will only know they are in trouble by the time a party member goes down or in...

    Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince-SPOILERS!!!!

    Personally, I think Dumbledore was wrong about Nagini. Its Wormtail - or at least his hand. His most faithful servant, the ONLY truly faithful one. And he owes Harry his life.... Which we have been waiting to matter since book 3 - so it has got to pay off in book 7. One other explaination...

    Rate Fantastic Four *SPOILERS*

    Gave it a 7. Lots of good character development and story - not enough Super Hero Action. Spidey got to take on some random punks/swing around New York - the FF had two action sequences - the 'hey we have powers and can save people' and the 'final battle'. It was really well done - just not...

    Need some new Anime to watch!

    Escaflowne - the series, skip the movie. First episode starts very slow - then the dragon appears.... GREAT Stuff. Story, visuals, music - one of my favorites Rouinin Kenshin - first two collections (up to episode 60ish - you'll know when to stop - the BIG Plot is resolved) Samurai action in...

    Babylon 5 on DVD [NO SPOILERS for Season 5, please]

    Very Important Note regarding Spoilers!!!! Do not, I repeat, DO NOT read the booklet that comes with the DVD set for seasons 3&4. Reading the brief explainations of episodes contains MAJOR spoilers. You will be much happier if you do not read the booklet. Trust me.

    Boston ENworld Game Day–Mission Accomplished

    Game day was definately a success! Even if I was a failure as a Pimp. ;) But the pirate game went well - everyone seemed to be having fun, even the poor Chaplain who kept missing the Big Bad Guys by 1 or 2. Freedom City is safe, and four more super villians behind bars. And Mr Perfect has...

    Boston ENworld Game Day–Mission Accomplished

    My wife, Ratnap, has caught the great Ick that is going around. Sore throat, cough, sinus badness, etc. :( She hopes to have recovered enough to attend, but wanted me to warn of the possability that she may be a last minute no show. That would leave 2 openings in my 7th Sea game - so if...

    Babylon 5 on DVD [NO SPOILERS for Season 5, please]

    After you've finished watching the series, listen to the commentaries. They have far more info, and more correct info, than that 'what may have been' website. Some of the statements on that site are directly contridicted by JMS's commentaries on episodes. A better bet would be to check out...
