    [Spoilers] Spiderman: One More Day...

    According to an ongoing series of interviews with Joe Q at CBR, the reason they did it was because they knew that they were going to end up rebooting the marriage/history, so figured they could get away with it and fit it into the Civil War thing. Which, sadly, is really all about editorial...

    [Spoilers] Spiderman: One More Day...

    See- now that would be even crappier than just having her divorce him, IMO. Having her run away to have Peter's baby in secret, and keeping him out of his daughter's life? Talk about a horrible way to end the marriage. In any event, I did acknowledge that yes, there are two people in a marriage...

    Dragonlance trailer. . .

    Which one? The figure skater in the white outfit doing interpretive dance? Or the mischievous badger?

    [Spoilers] Spiderman: One More Day...

    Not to mention that, well- that's pretty much what Ultimate Spider-Man is there for, right?

    [Spoilers] Spiderman: One More Day...

    He's gone on record several times as saying that, as badly as he didn't like the marriage, he felt that having Spidey as either a divorcee or a widower would be even worse. (And, on the divorce angle, I have to agree if only on the basis that Spidey's mantra is "With Great Power Comes Great...

    Batman dead in 2008?

    There were rumors about it going around several months ago as one of the outcomes of the ongoing "Countdown to Infinite Crisis" story that's currently playing out in DC, with Dick Grayson picking up the mantle, but those plans appear to have been shelved- along with plans to off the other big...

    3.X Zombies: How Can They Be More Of a Threat?

    The surprise angle is not a bad one, and you're right- it does fit with the zombie movie trope. Maybe give them a special Move Silently skill (since zombies don't generally have skills) that can be used to oppose Listen checks for determining surprise.

    Introduction to Mystara?

    Sadly, the Newbie Guide (fan product) has never been completed, so the best online resource at the moment is the Vaults of Pandius that Inferno! linked to. It can be a little disjointed, though. If you have them, S'Mon's suggestions of X1 (with its brief overview of the Known World that, for...

    D&D 4E 4E -- More or Less Vancian?

    Well, there is a god named Ioun now... :eek:

    Great Fantasy Cities (and what makes them so awesome)

    So long as we're mentioning video game cities, I'll have to chime in with the Kaineng City, the capital of Cantha in Guild Wars. That place is just amazing. It's a subcontinent spanning urban sprawl, where the people didn't just build outwards, but upwards. At times the streets you are walking...

    3.X Zombies: How Can They Be More Of a Threat?

    Guess it depends on what kind of cinema zombies you're looking for. You mention "burst of speed", which isn't traditionally zombie-like, but more "Nu-Zombie" (Dawn of the Dead remake, notably, and a couple of other recent zombie pics). If you're going for traditional zombies, I'd suggest...

    Great Fantasy Cities (and what makes them so awesome)

    Citadel, a city in the nation of Bettelyn, part of the magical empire of Alphatia (Mystara). Over a couple of thousand years, the inhabitants of the city continued to build upon the foundations of their earlier settlements, to the point that Citadel is now essentially a mountain, more than 1,000...

    "Essence of Evil" - Dungeon 152

    That Mystara conversion bit was especially interesting to me, as an active member of the Mystara community, as it specifically mentions the Outer Beings as a catalyst for the adventure- beings which were never mentioned in canon materials, but were completely developed by the Mystara online...

    [Trailer] Hellboy 2

    I thought the trailer mentioned its supposed to be summer 2008. (Yep, quick Google shows July 11 as projected date.)

    [Trailer] Hellboy 2

    Funny. My first thought was "What's Elric doing in a Hellboy movie?" :p Looks cool, though. Really liked the first one (though I thought the ending dragged.)

    Rich Baker confirms new look of Gnomes

    My initial response was "Gag! Not the Troll Doll look!" But I must admit, seeing Klaus' gnome, I'm not that disgusted. And as Whizbang pointed out, throw a beard on the older version (maybe even a short beard, to distinguish it from ye old bearded dwarf) and it doesn't look awful.

    The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

    Ack! They've turned the gnomes into Troll Dolls!!

    The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

    I think he meant "lairs".

    The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

    That was funny. I hope that's not an indicator of the new artwork for gnomes, though. That guy was really just a small elf.
