    Terminator #8:TSCC: Mr. Ferguson is Ill Today/Nov2008

    What a great episode. Now that's the Terminator I want to see. Even Riley's existence in this episode was tolerable.

    Starship Enterprise

    Anyone know what the classification and class of this Enterprise will be, for geeks like me?

    Heroes #8: Villains/Nov2008

    A tolerable episode only due to the fact that they invoked the once-great Season 1. Yeah, I said "once-great"... 'cause it's not anymore. The amount of retconning in this past episode was despicable, and cast a black shadow over how I think about Season 1. The lame retconning of Sylar (once a...

    WotC acknowledges 4th Edition Not for Everyone?

    Yeah, that's all I remember too. Just on two FR books (Hall of Heroes and Cities of Mystery), which had 2e logos (but Hall of Heroes was had entirely 1e rules). None at all otherwise during 2e or 3e.

    WotC acknowledges 4th Edition Not for Everyone?

    Very interesting... maybe. Does anyone know when the last time the existence of previous editions was noted on the back (or front) cover marketing blurb?

    Cynicism of an AD&D refugee

    Heh. Talk about nonsense that has to die. Good bit of irony, there.

    Disappointed in 4e

    Sorry! It's always (;)) a "particular level". I don't do the whole extremes/black & white thing - especially on a D&D messageboard. (P.S. Woo for acronyms!) Never, AFAIC. I find it interesting you're seeing the things you're seeing. I can only shrug at your experiences, as they are alien to...

    Cynicism of an AD&D refugee

    You yourself point out in your Post #35 that there are multiple definitions of "completeness" (good ones, I might add). So far it doesn't look like it's being used just one way in this thread. My response was specifically to Mallus' post. Go from there. (Maybe he just made his point so poorly...

    Cynicism of an AD&D refugee

    Good luck with that. If it's objective, it's something that is easily measurable and agreed upon. You're already on thin ice when it comes to a game. For chrissake's, people have a hard enough time discussing and agreeing on what's "objectively" good/bad about movies, which a lot more people...

    Disappointed in 4e

    Because everyone will have their own line in the sand as to what level of "Mother May I?" is acceptable to them. (Some ENWorlders seem to have a hard time with the concept of degrees.) I'm not sure why you'd think that people who don't like a particular level of "Mother May I" would steer...

    Cynicism of an AD&D refugee

    If something previous offered what some consumers want, then it is not "unreasonable expectations". Obviously. Please be consistent. If a game doesn't offer them what they want, then it is - by definition - not a complete game to them. (Or is this just one of those creepy ENWorld "it must be...

    Disappointed in 4e

    Because there is some number of people who don't like to play "Mother May I?". And that's legitimate for those people. (Not making any edition distinction here, so take a hike, evangelists.)

    007 - Quantum of Solace (SPOILERS)

    Looks like it'll be a rental for me.
  14. Arnwyn

    I'm sorry, your character idea is too awful.

    Probably a bunch, though I'd have to see examples in order to say yay or nay. But off the top of my head: - anything against the tone of the game we've agreed on - anything remotely sexual - anything 'silly' (who's the final arbiter of "silly"? Me. Yay!) - Oh, and pretty much everything in...

    November '08: What are you playing?

    I've also played just a bit of LittleBigPlanet (PS3). Wow. While I won't get to play the whole thing through in quite a while, from what I have played so far, it's definitely a contender with MGS4 for Game of the Year.

    Terminator #7: TSCCC: Brothers of Nablus/Nov 2008

    Not a bad episode. Felt like "Terminator", for sure. That whole Terminator-company side-story is still pretty weird, though. "Riley" should die a quick, miserable death.

    007 - Quantum of Solace (SPOILERS)

    Gah! Boo!

    Best Forgotten Realms books (any edition)

    My 5 favorite FR books (very tough to decide): 1) Empires of the Shining Sea (2e, box) - best FR regional supplement, bar-none. Fascinating regions, lots of hooks, great detail... Great maps in this box set, too. 2) City of Splendors (2e, box) - the best city guide to date. Again, great maps...

    Rules for running a taver/inn?

    There are two excellent options: 1) "Ill Gotten Gains" - Dragon #268. Rules for - you guessed it - running inns and taverns (and other businesses). A great article. 2) Running A Business (Chapter 6 of the DMG II)

    November '08: What are you playing?

    Yes, yes indeed. (Though it's better on the PS2 - same thing, but none of the Wii's poor controls.) It created quite a stir when it first came out.
