How can you say that when we have no proof this is a thread to begin with? The whole thing seems based on a false lobotomy. It is better to eat the orc, because the pie is a black pudding with some whipped cream on top to make you think it's chocolate.

Well a lot of Genoese crossbowmen were killed at Crecy too, mostly by their French allies. :lol: I would suggest that Crecy is the perfect example of longbows working as I described, but certainly the mud helped. I suspect the number of knights' horses killed far outnumbered the number of dead...

... and that's how I defeated the orc, burnt the gazebo to bring light to the darkness, and saved the pie.

I suspect this idea has more to do with effectiveness then stopping power. The English longbowman's favorite target was the French Knight. When you are trying to stop heavy cavalry, taking out the horse is usually just as effective as taking out the rider. A horse is a big target from above...

Shadowrun miniatures are still being cast. Iron Wind Metals took over most of Ral Partha's lines. Shadowrun minis can be found at this link: Iron Wind Metals Online

Wow, you're right. Umm, I guess that opens it up to pretty much any fantasy movie made in the 80's at this point. :heh:

I think the main problem here is that the Stormwind Fallacy and its relevant discussion are hardly a common topic at ENworld. That makes it strange that we are cautioned in its use when most of us don't know what it is and have never seen it used properly or improperly. When dealing with...

I'm a hundred pages or so into Battle Cry of Freedom a single volume history of the American Civil War. I'm also reading the Supernatural RPG.

My hat of Windstorm fallacy know no limit. :rant: ;)

I know a challenge when I see one. Thus I give you this list, by no means exhaustive, of really bad 80's fantasy. Ator l'invincibile (1982) Ator l'invincibile 2 (1984) Iron Warrior (1987) Hercules (1983) Sinbad of the Seven Seas (1989) Wizards of the Lost Kingdom (1985) Wizards of the Lost...

While Krull is certainly the weakest of the movies I listed, it stands up far better than Masters of the Universe. I established my baseline based on the OP mentioning Hawk the Slayer as a good movie and wanted to keep to what I consider that level or above. Krull, while cheesey, is original...

Art, art, then some more art. I want inspirational art, and I want every item in the gear section represented with art. I want interesting background and rules written in a casual tone. I don't want the rules written in character, that just gets too cheesy and is often hard to follow. I want...

I would start them out with a written test and interview like fafhrd. Then the best candidates can hand pick a team of 50 troops. They have a month to train. Two teams, including the prospective lieutenants, would be selected to go through a dungeon at the same time. The dungeon is split into...

It is likely to only reflect US sales, and the numbers are based on interviews. Sales from GW stores and GW direct sales aren't likely to be covered, and they account for more than 50% of GW sales in the US.

Clash of the Titans Excalibur Krull The Never Ending Story "Krull" combines scifi and fantasy. "The Never Ending Story" is a kids fantasy movie. Edit: added Excalibur to the list.

Quoted for truth. If you want to find out about the setting, check out the previews for the videogame. The novel isn't worth reading.

It's hard to say if those are actually the books or are simply mock-ups. Someone at Gen Con would have to let us know if they have any copies of the real books to flip through. *hint hint*

The hopeless gamer blog has some pictures from Gen Con up, including 4 pictures of some of the contents of WFRP 3E. The Hopeless Gamer You can find links to the pics on the left or just go to older posts until you find them. The third picture shows a character sheet.

It comes with 4 books, but only 1 main rulebook. The other 3 books are a book on wizards, a book on religion and a GM's book. Edit: The blurb mentions 4 rulesbooks, but it is made more clear in the product's description on FFG's website.

The game's blurb mentions "More than 300 cards keep you in the game, no need to look up skills or abilities." The whole point of the play aids seems to be that players won't need a book in front of them during play. I don't know about during character creation though.
