Yeah, V has to have a chance to redeem himself, all that much moreso now that we know that not only was his action hideously evil, but may in fact contribute to the unravelling of reality itself!

V explicitly says he did it in this strip. Of course, he may be wrong, but I don't think so.

No, I don't think that's how it works. It kills your decedents, not all relations. So it would kill your children, grand children, etc. but not your aunts, uncles, etc. But the bit that surprised me was that it would kill those who were related to your offspring, thus, your mates brothers...

First rule of the zombie apocalypse: Never go wandering off by yourself at dusk. But seriously, they should have a rule that no one patrols on their own. Too risky. Also, I think the cattle were Hershels that broke through the fencing. Though it would seem to me that reinstalling the fences...

OK, so let me see if I have the way this spell works right: V casts "familicide" on me. As a result, my children die. But because my children "share blood" with my wife, my wife and her entire family also die, correct? I presume this doesn't keep going, so that my wife's brother's wife's...

Well in the case of Ashley, you certainly see growth and development as she learns to work well with other species and respect them as crew-mates. Depending on the dialogue options you take with her, you can suss out her religious views and her favorite poetry. I think a lot depends on how...

But the Paizo took the keys and drove a very successful new version of the rules onto the lot, one that for many of us is superior to the new model that WotC tried to sell us. Whatever the other merits or demerits of the OGL might be, for me the fact that we as players of D&D weren't put in a...

Hm. I don't recall Jack being all that easy going and emotionally stable. But Liara ... I dunno, xeno-eroticism isn't really my thing, and Liara had her own issues if I recall. Of course, if they really wanted to push the romance boundaries, they'd make Wrex a romance option!

Not me, Miranda was my kind of sexy, although truth be told, I'm much more interested in rekindling my relationship with Ashley in ME3. I missed her in ME2.

Because its a better product that more adequately accomplishes what you want that material to accomplish? After all, ideally in an OGL situation it can take the OGL content from your seafaring book add its own, superior content to that, and make a better project, more streamlined and more...

Well the syllogism that Auld Grump was using there seems to imply some kind of logical causation (e.g. that if A then B, not-B, therefore not-A), but I think his conclusion is more nuanced: It "made a difference," which I think it did, as I and many others have said. But it wasn't the sole...

Hussar, I'm not sure why the subtly of this argument escapes you. I haven't seen anyone arguing, at least not without some serious qualification, that the OGL was "responsible" for the success of 3rd Edition, or that the DDI was not successful on its own terms. Rather, the argument as I've been...

You mean they managed to get an open beta for a 4th edition VTT out just in time to watch it die when 5th edition is born? Great work WotC!

Man, that's hilarious. I'd be amazed to find out that any court would ever take that clause seriously, or even that WOTC tried to defend themselves on the basis of it. But again, I'm not a lawyer, so I'm often amazed by what happens in courtrooms. Law is a strange and esoteric discipline. Much...

I'm not a lawyer, but I find this exchange fascinating. Help educate me here: Is the idea that if a deal were clearly disadvantageous to me (i.e., "unfair"), then I would not have knowingly entered into it. But since I entered into this unfair, disadvantageous arrangement, I must not have had...

Help me out here: How would a gnome fail to recognize that he's fighting a giant? PS., I now have an interesting character concept I need to develop.

Well, it was pretty straightforward. The players would have a few encounters, and then someone would look at their sheet and say "I'm down some hit points, and the casters would say, "Hrm. I'm down a few spells" and then they'd look at one another and say "Maybe we should rest." I'd let them...

That's helpful to me, and clarifies for me where the "15 minute day" problem comes from, namely the extended dungeon crawl. I agree that here it can be a problem for precisely the reason the article mentions (and of course now all the references to the caves of chaos are clicking into place for...

Phew. I'm exhausted. Dead horse beaten guys. Dead horse beaten.

I see your point, but isn't the whole point of pacing that things don't AWAYS have to happen OMG-RIGHT NOW. Rather (and this is how I read Kingmaker), there are a few moments in any given set of adventures when it's necessary for the players to rush from event to event because timing is of the...
