Actually Vinnie was the drummer on Joe's Garage, though Warren Cuccarullo and Patrick O'Hearn were on Guitar and Bass respectively. Terry and Dale both put in vocal performances. Terry did play on Sheik Yerbouti and the Baby Snakes live album though. I've always thought Missing Persons gets...

Bozzio's great (though I think he's actually post-Mothers), another Zappa alum who's fantastic is Vinnie Colliuta. Also in my drummer pantheon are Steve Gadd, Stewart Copeland, and of course the inestimable Neil Peart. But the drummer who's been really at the top of my list for the past several...

The two major factors that led to my abandonment of D&D 4th edition were the dumping of the OGL and the major changes made to the core race/class structure (ostensibly in order to avoide being subject to the OGL). It had very detrimental knock on effects throughout the product line (including...

Wow, someone is clearing out the Dramatis Personae list pretty efficiently.

Having worked on library archival stuff in grad school, back when most of this stuff was not online, I'm happy to help out. Here's the citation: http://webapp.und.edu/dept/library/Collections/og1253.html

I was under the impression, and I believe that Monte Cook quite explicitly stated, that CoCd20 was always intended to be a fairly limited run one-off, and was published with that intention. If sales for it were good, which is my recollection from the time (apparently backed by bild91's link...

"As a hero, you're much more narratively equipped to deal with this."

Yeah, it seems to me that if you've got good market research on the subject, you should be able to produce multiple product lines without over-producing. And clearly box sets were not cost effective after a certain stage. But that's not a problem with the basic concept of multiple products, just...

On the subject of "After the Player's Handbook, what more do you need?" I agree this is a general market problem. And the idea RPG customer is one who will buy everything just for the sake of having it around to use, peruse, play with, thumb through, gaze at and enjoy just having on the shelf...

Agreed. When I need to look up a rule online, I usually find it at exactly the same moment as our book users (some of whom know where to find everything in an instant). But if I'm on my iPad I'm slower, so the book readers usually beat me. It's easier for me to do a key word search than look...

I love using my iPad at the table, and although I find dealing with PDF versions of the rules slightly unwieldy, if I have an internet connection at the table it's easy to look up most anything I need in the SRD. So I am a big proponant of having tablets and ereaders available as an option...

Yeah, my 7 year old had some bad dreams initially too, but she insisted on continuing to watch the show. She was delighted by it, and eventually the dreams subsided. Mom was still not pleased.

I've watched almost all of the new episodes, from the 9th Doctor on, with my daughters (ages 3, 7, and 9), and they got instantly and deeply hooked. My wife was worried that they might be too scary, but it turned out they were just fine, and enjoyed themselves immensely.

Funny how quickly these things change. It wasn't all that long ago that I was dying for my cellphone company to start supporting the Motorolla Razr that I wanted so badly.

It is a problem with the whole notion of alignment: Even if you're a (free willed) vampire, if you're still essentially the same person you were prior to being turned, then notwithstanding your insatiable desire for blood, you should still be able to retain your alignment. I think that it's...

The fact that he now prepares spells at dusk does seem to suggest a change in Patron Deity after all.

Evil Durkon makes me sad. But evil Durkon working with the Order of the Stick makes me happy. Also: Stabbytown.

"No more than Belkar." "That ... is a really good point"
