It's the same eye design as the standard battledroid. It just sticks out because these droids are dark with light up eyes. I suspect the nefarious reason for using the design on the commandos was so that they could be easily spotted as droids. B-) <- That's much closer to your propaganda...

I don't know about Hasbro, but Gen Con is being sued by Lucasfilm for failing to provide the charity auction proceeds of Celebration IV that were to go to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. That might cause a charity like CCF to decide not to let their name be used in a charity auction held at Gen...

The CCF is not part of any church. They do not proselytize at all.

I doubt anyone has put the actual communication online, but the group that runs the auction mention that D&D was the reason it was turned down here:Live Game Auctions -Charity

After rereading your post I'm not sure how I missed that.:blush: Maybe I need glasses. B-)

Why do you keep assuming that the monster cards are going to have random new monster powers? If the Dungeon Delve book does introduce new powers, I suspect they will appear in the book itself.

The power card that WotC is planning to put out aren't collectible either. That is why comparing them to the old spell decks makes sense.

The Warhammer Quest model of a hybrid boardgame/roleplaying game is exactly what some people fear D&D is becoming. It's a great concept as long as a more traditional D&D game is being put out at the same time.

Not to mention Chainmail leading to D&D. Then D&D led to Battle System, and then DDM(also known as Chainmail), and then the collectible DDM. GW was built on selling D&D and D&D related products to the UK. Warhammer Fantasy Battles was an extension of their D&D minis business. Almost like...

That plus a few books and character sheets. Dice are also pretty much mandatory and a pencil comes in handy too. I know lots of people that play all kinds of RPGs at the big table at my FLGS. Strangely enough miniatures, maps for use with the miniatures, and spell cards/feat cards/ability...

I know Chris Pine is actually close to the right age, but he doesn't look it. Like a lot of people in Hollywood, he looks about a decade younger than he actually is. My understanding is that they scrapped the Starfleet Academy idea and that the movie takes place with Kirk as commander of the...

QFT. I watched the new show into the second season. I quit once I realized the only ones left worth rooting for were the Centurions. I don't want perfect characters, but a series needs at least one character that I can actually like.

I really like the casting for McCoy and Scotty. They look the part. Spock seems a little young, but being half Vulcan can explain the youthful appearance. I have mixed feelings on the actors for Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov. Their performances might sway me into accepting them in the role. Kirk...

There is a discussion of the song and video She Blinded Me With Science on the first page of the Media Lounge. The OP responded in that thread too.

It's also quite possible that people that stop to talk at a booth for a third party magazine are more likely to be those interested in previous versions of D&D. I bet you'd have had a very different result if you were asking people that came up to talk at the WotC booth.

Patricia Pulling died of cancer in 1997. If you go to the Pulling Report link in the 2nd post you'll see that she had multiple versions of things leading to her son's death. The family had seen him howling and barking at the moon, and the family's 19 rabbits were found dead 3 weeks before the...

I agree that too many people here take a game a little too seriously. I've avoided the 4E versus 3E threads because they really serve little purpose. I just questioned the idea that the rudeness in the thread being discussed was completely one-sided.

ENworld is a D&D news site, so it made perfect sense that it would have lots of info and discussion on 4E once its release was announced. ENworld wouldn't be serving its purpose if it didn't. The site also had and still has a lot of news from third party publishers. Any slant towards 4E has...

You might check out Michael and Jeff Shaara's books if you haven't already. They have books covering the American Revolution, the US Civil War, World War I, and Jeff is 2 books into a World War II trilogy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Shaara There is always Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe...
