I get thoughts like that. Keanu Reeve moments... Whoa. For example: Look down a long street and notice all of the mailboxes. Everyday, somebody goes outside and collects mail from each one those things. I wonder if they got anything good?

I keep looking at the dev site for EN World 2, dev.enworld.org. But the front page looks pretty broken, at least in IE6 and Firefox. There's one story (always the same), a lot of blank space, and a horribly stretched vertical banner for Burning Sky). Trying to click back on the dates gets me...

One of the previous posters nailed something I think... I think the art was fine, but the problem was that the book over fetishized sex. Since it was already a touchy subject, bringing up the weirdnesses introduced by the book would just make it even more awkward. The biggest thing that the...

Everyone in the world enjoys Settlers of Catan. Other than me. I just don't understand the appeal. Just my opinion, but I think the amount of strategy in a Catan game is extremely miniscule. Most of it is just seeing whether the dice rolls conform to expectations, and then choosing between a...

It's good to have a few choices... Especially for first game night. Risk 2210. It's similar to stuff people have played, so it's easier to explain than most boardgames. Talisman is a classic if you want an RPG-like game. There's a new version out there. Carcassone is another great one...

I doubt it has anything to do with GSL or OGL. I think it has something to do with the fact that Paizo has created a direct competitor for 4th edition while riding the 3.5e gravy train that Wizards was mainly responsible for. And that Paizo put a pretty big crack right down the middle of the...

Blank. Like the equipment section on your character sheet.

Yes, it should be a book aimed at players instead of DMs. Something like this: Page 1: "You get what the DM gives you, worm." The rest of the pages should be blank.

Actually, DarkSun would be an excellent fit for 4e. DarkSun was always gritty in terms of equipment, but overpowered in terms of character strength. Psionics was overpowered, and the extra stat bonuses made the game a land composed of munchkin-like characters (really? I can wield two...

Wait... Illithid are no longer from the END of time?

I've been a fan of Paizo since the Shackled City AP (the biggest problem of which is the large delve of Jzadirune too close to the beginning). But I have to say, I don't think anything since has really measured up. Age of Worms focused far too much on a downright broken monster, the Spawn of...

The purpose of the thread is that getting D&D onto The Colbert Report is great publicity for the game's new edition. I don't want to get into politics with you, Maelstrom, but you clearly aren't understanding the point of The Colbert Report. Perhaps you have not seen Colbert hosting the press...

Seriously. Sometimes I think my players should raid a tomb entirely devoid of any magic items whatsoever. At the end, in the main chamber, I can have a copy of the tomb's owner's will... "In case of death, please give all of my magic items to the other party members."

The ends justify the means is the not the way of a good diety. It's time for the cleric to lose his powers. Have a neutral diety tempt him to join their following, and thus gain his powers back. If he rebuffs the offer, then consider him tested by Heironeus and possibly worthy of redemption.

Personally, I've always used: "Yip! Yip!" But "Breeyark!" is a nice one too...

I'm excited about 4e, I'm hopeful for Paizo. I'm not really sure they had a good business alternative. Which sucks because Wizards could have found some way to share their ball with the other d20 companies to which they owe some of their success. Now everybody has gone public with their...

Not sure what this means... Turning doesn't heal party members in 4e. ??? Anyways, 4e is a different scenario entirely. Undead monsters are redone in 4e. They may have powers to account for changes there. 3.5 monsters do not. Plus balance is less of an issue when you don't claim to be...

For those concerned about my criticisms, please understand that I'm making critiques of a draft. You know, that's what I'm supposed to do. And I am. I criticized 4e's prerelease stuff. That criticism had an effect, I think. Now I shall do the same here. Because I'd like Paizo to succeed...

Featured articles, perhaps? Some way of determining when one of your features of interest has new articles? I can never find the blogs of the developers. I just gave up. It's annoying to navigate. Part of that is the fact that the back button works only half the time last time I used it...

Misunderstood cover rules. Nevermind... Hypersmurf is right (of course).. :)
