WotC seems to have a much better idea of how quickly information spreads these days (as opposed to TSR in the blossoming days of the online community), and in general does a better idea of taking that into account. That said, you have a good point (re: Idiocy in upper management).

Vanden nods grimly and thanks the guardsman for his advice. As the group exits the tavern, he says "We must get Ada to a healer. Perhaps we can acquire some healing draughts for ourselves as well before we return."

Could be they're planning on adding it later, but only after they've put out their own Paragon and Epic adventures? (Thus keeping any 3pps from preemptively jumping on that bandwagon before they get there.)

Just adding my "Amen" to the chorus.

IIRC, Pun-Pun wasn't possible until several years' worth of gaming supplements came around (Serpent Kingdoms, at least). In other words, Pun-Pun will rise again. Just give it time.

That was the one with the Bat Shark-Repellent, too, wasn't it?

Zogmo and TwinBahamut are right in that we're getting off topic with this discussion. No more on it from me.

It just blows my mind that Moorcock is repeatedly associated so closely with Leiber and Vance in this thread. While I'm not knocking the company (because all three are quite visionary, and have repeatedly been acknowledged by so many people with associations in Sci-Fi and Fantasy as lasting...

I'm pretty much in the same boat. Sixth Sense? Good movie. Unbreakable? Love it. Everything else... not so much. I found myself thinking while watching The Happening that someone should write a comedy called "How Shyamalan Got His Groove Back." (Fiction, of course, at least thus far.)

Moorcock named SFWA Grand Master Tribute to Michael Moorcock: Note some of the names therein: Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, China Mieville. Hell, the word "multiverse" arguably wouldn't be as prevalent if not for Moorcock. I think you're seriously misinformed if you believe that Moorcock (and...

I get your points about the twist on the Doctor being powerless, and I empathize to some extent (it is a different take on things), but in the absence of another protagonist in the series (in this case, Donna Noble) to serve as a counter to the antagonist of the episode, it just seems to me to...

I found that part to be a little hokey, considering how much time the Doctor spent intermingling with the other passengers and how much interest he had in getting to know everyone. Maybe not quite as hokey as the fact that- some time in his conversation with Sky, he didn't manage to ask her her...

I thought this was pretty awful, actually. The dialogue was incredibly stilted, IMO, and the performances were really sub-par. Marky Mark has done a couple of decent flicks lately (notably, The Departed), but he was channeling his earlier performances in this one- now I remember why I couldn't...

Looks like they've moved Frank back to New York, though I can't tell for certain if they're redoing his origin or not (from the brief flashback sequence in the beginning) and making this a reboot. Too soon to tell. Not the greatest trailer in the world. I, too, liked the Thomas Jane Punisher...

I really liked it, for the most part. I'm a bit disappointed that the Doctor didn't do anything to save the day and solve the problem- he's the hero, after all, and it's kind of meh when things just happen to the protagonist in a story and he isn't instrumental in solving things. That, and the...

GRA?

That's exactly what his post says, if you read it. And marketing definitely influences the decision making process- if you aren't turned on by what is presented to you, you're far less likely to buy, right?

The other folks may or may not be data ghosts (now that we know the Doctor's modified screwdriver was set up to get River's info, it may also have been doing the same for the others), but I'd assume the Doctor at least is capable of creating something that will get someone's memory engrams in...

My take on it: I really, really enjoyed this episode and the previous part. Two of my favorite Who episodes ever. I was getting really miffed at the end when- yet again, the Doctor is made into this tragic figure. Fortunately, they somewhat mollified the situation. Don't get me wrong- I...

She could be referring to his current incarnation being so young compared to his other regenerations (which- aside from Peter Davison- is the youngest of the actors playing the Doctor) as opposed to this particular regeneration being so young compared to when he knows her. But in either case, I...
