I don't think it gives a bad name to the hobby. A few years ago there was an extremely vicious murder -- the Adrianne Reynolds case; I'll spare the details, you guys can look it up -- that happened in an area I used to live. The body got dumped in Black Hawk State Park. That's an awesome park...

I've been reading The Summoner (Gail Z. Martin) for the last few days. Despite it being over 600 pages, I've breezed through it. It's standard fantasy stuff, in fact it's reading like a decent D&D quest turned horribad novel. I should have read Book of the New Sun (Gene Wolfe) or read The Blade...

Gojira: French groovy death with sludge and doom and robot vocals and flying whales and environmentally friendly lyrics. Deathspell Omega: French avant garde black metal. Think Gorguts meets Emperor. Psycroptic: Good old fashioned brutal technical death metal from Aussieland. Cult of Luna...

I'd like to also suggest Kewanee, Illinois. There are several big towns -- Quad Cities (Al Capone would also visit here, too), Peoria and Galesburg; Chicago is about three hours east -- nearby, a lake (Johnson Sauk Trail State Park), plenty of woods and farmland, there's already a college there...

Border Rewards is free? You get one time use coupons that range from 10-30% off and you can get "borders bucks" which is essentially a $5 giftcard for every $150 you spend in a month. I have it just because I work in a mall that has a Brentano's (a Borders store) and not a Barnes and Noble...

I have no problem with progressive or techincal or experimental or avant-garde music, it's just when the songs stop being songs and become showing off that I have a problem with. Compare Cryptopsy to Dream Theater. Or Gorguts to Malsteen.

Archivist 4/Ordained Champion 3/Knight of the Raven 3/Fist of Raziel 10. 9th level spells, +18 BAB, smites, turn undead, channel spell, and a whole bunch of other stuff. You might even drop one level of FoR for a level of Contemplative to get a domain.

A good rogue/fighter type is a swift hunter with a one level dip into barbarian for pounce if you go two weapon fighting. Scout 4/Wildshape Ranger 16 is another awesome build that is skillsy as well.

Craven is character level, not rogue level. One build that's good is Scout 3/Rogue 17. Full sneak and skirmish. Telling Blow and a weapon with a good critical range will let you get skirmish AND sneak attack on every critical hit, that way you don't have to move AND either flat foot or flank.

There is a half drow in Races of Faerun.

Incarnate 1/Scout 3/Ranger 16 would be a good start. Don't waste a feat on shape soulmeld when you could spend it on swift hunter and improved skirmish. +9d6/+9AC at 20th level. There's other ways to abuse this though. Totemist would probably offer better options.

They don't have a vocalist. It's all instrumental. As for the rest of the stuff, it's very ambient, rolling, lots of use of cresendos. It's very very good. Think Isis without the preteniousness. Also: Dream Theater doesn't write, their songs are the result of the band's musical wankery being...

Look at Races of Stone.

Baroness, Mastodon, and Pelican are good choices as well. WHITE WHALE, HOLY GRAIL! That's like the best comic ever too...

I once decided, foolishly, to run my players to run evil characters. Of course they decide to run the insane evil characters, one even turned in a character sheet that had Evil^2 written on it which did make me laugh it also made me go *facepalm* But there were two big problems. The player with...

In a world without magic, who fills the void? I'm merely considering arcane, divine, infusions and mystery casting as magic. Other sources and alternatives -- psionics, truenaming, binding, incarnum, invocations, et cetera -- are fair game. This is just an idea that's been bopping around in my...

It also means pretenious.

Do you "da bomb fantastic?" Because that's not what bombastic means... Anyways. I guess I'm the only one who enjoys being crushed by sludge metal? :antiawesome: Also, I saw something about metalcore before. My opinion, at least it's not deathcore. lawlz

Okay Gish is out. I propose that Hats Made Of Veal And That New Car Smell is the new term. All in favor say I.

I made a Hexblade variant a while ago. Given, it wasn't the best. There are others who have too. Hexblade and Warlock seem to go hand in hand, at least to me. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=186470 I never finished it though.
