    Baldur's Gate 3 and Neverwinter Nights 2 all-but-confirmed by Atari!

    Actually, Ive always thougth it kind of funny how the names of games and sequels and related games morph over time. Im sure that the game publishers want to keep the BG name since it is a "brand name" for a franchise; different from NWN, Icewind Dale, etc, although two of the games with BG in...

    Times of India reports Orlando Bloom will be the next Bond.

    Well maybe not. It could be a typo on the Times' part, but.. I know Miramax has been talking for a long time of doing a 60's James Bond movie. Quentain Tarantino really wanted to remake Casino Royale. In 97-99 MGM finally won their lawsuit to gain all the JB movie rghts including Never Say...

    The Heroes of House Tharashk

    "Let him rest." Gulo says yawning. "That choker may have taken alot out of him. There be plenty of work to do soon anyway, Ill bet. Surely we three can handle one druid?"

    Baldur's Gate 3 and Neverwinter Nights 2 all-but-confirmed by Atari!

    My unsolicited opinion on this is that some games (a recent example may be Dues Ex 2) get dumbed down or features homogonized for a dual PC/console release. In those cases the game is ported to the PC from the console, or so it seems. And I never understood the praise for Troika, Arcanum was...

    House Medani Detection Office:The Lady in Blue (Updated 12-03-05)

    Home Sweet Home (con't) (Thanks again for all the feedback everyone, more coming. Trying to make sense of my notes) The impact of the airship theft to the locals became evident to us almost immediately; the customs officials were quite careful in checking our travel papers and identification...

    The Heroes of House Tharashk

    Gulo nods and bows at the dwarf. "Yes, and surprised to see myself first here. I'm hoping this Abynnon doesnt give us too much trouble. Well, " he says grinning, "maybe Im hoping he'll give us a little trouble."

    Gulo makes his way to get some food, awaiting the others to see the druid. OOC: Assuming thats our plan.

    A sad day for DC Comics based movies!

    slight hijack but I agree. I liked Keaton as Batman. Val Kilmer was ok, but with Keaton you sort of got the vague impression that Bruce Wayne disturbed underneath it all. And Christian Bale does disturbed well. Sometimes casting against type works well.

    Baldur's Gate 3 and Neverwinter Nights 2 all-but-confirmed by Atari!

    Im sure its to keep the brand name. While people may or may not know DnD, Baldurs Gate has become a video game franchise. And for good or bad, the powers that be will use it./shrug. Im actually surprised FR Demonstone isnt using it after it was used in 2 hack n slash BG console games that bore...

    House Medani Detection Office:The Lady in Blue (Updated 12-03-05)

    7. Home Sweet Home Two and a half days later, with the sun high in a clear sky, the Swiftsure pulled around the headlands and we could see the city of Trolanport off to the north. To be honest, I wasnt impressed. But then again, I was from Sharn. We had spent the last two days recuperating...

    Sealab 7-25

    Sealab. The Cartoon Network in the US took an old cartoon reworked the old animation, put in new dialogue and made a new show. Irreverant and mostly funny, although I personally have been finding the rambling form of humor less appealing than when the show first started...

    True, but neither brand name illicits much confidence in me.

    NOOO! Jar Jar to appear in Return of the Jedi DVD

    This isnt a joke? sigh. I can understand EFX tweaks, but why erase the performance of Sebastian Shaw? Whats next? Airbrushing Mark Hamill out of the "canon"? Im surprised he didnt totally replace the Frank Oz Yoda with CGI. Is this perhaps an attempt to create a seperate version of the original...

    The Albino (con't) Olladra favors the brave...Olladra favors the brave....The ancient cants ran through my mind. The Albino rushed Dorbo, obviously upset at his attack. It collided with the rear mast and swiped at him, barely missing the gnome’s red tinged scalp. Bynara reached to get another...

    Baldur's Gate 3 and Neverwinter Nights 2 all-but-confirmed by Atari!

    Atari's involvement in this worries me. IMHO Ataris PC record has been shaky. Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil was rushed-and I am still upset over the botch job they did on release. Even on the console side DnD Heroes is pretty mediocre. Maybe a better barometer will be FR Demonstone...

    I think I'm over crunch

    Amen. More fluff. Stuff about towns, and campaign settings or region sourcebooks. Maybe even an adventure. No more "races of" stuff, with racial variants. Don't fill the above sourcebooks with more feats or spells. More adventure hooks, maps. Let the madness end! Erm not really that big a deal...

    House Medani Detection Office:The Lady in Blue (Updated 12-03-05)

    6. The Albino As it turned out, Albus was Albus d’Lyrandar and he decided quickly. Moving as fast as possible, he led us to the main deck. Ruddy (whose name I never caught, but was ruddy skinned) played rearguard, firing bolts to discourage pursuers.Along the way we gathered a few stragglers...
