    Tuesdays are Supernatural!

    Actually Mine WAS cut. It started at 9:08 (no clue why) and at 10 they clipped the scene, went to commercial, and then started some sitcom. Which means if the episode was 7 min longer, then I missed about 15 minutes of material (which is about right, when I watched the reair on Thursday). It...

    On The Origin of D&D Words

    Thank you. I butcher it different everytime. da-WOAH-mer was one that came out one game night. :)

    Tuesdays are Supernatural!

    Those were my thoughts too. I'm leaning towards Sam being the connection to both events. Now what if the mystery man IS Sam's father... Perhaps Sam is the son of a demon. He DID do well on his LSATs and isn't there some connection between law and the devil ;) Seriously, though, perhaps we...

    Tuesdays are Supernatural!

    Yup, that mystery man. Though I think he was standing over the crib looking down at Sammy. It's the "thing" that the dad has been hunting all along. And when you look at the wall of the hotel room that the dad rented in the Jerico, it appears that the dad believes the man to be the/a Devil. We...

    Tuesdays are Supernatural!

    I was able to catch the reair last night and I'm very upset that my WB cut off the ending when it aired it the first time. There was a good 5-10 minutes of material AND the actual kick-off to the rest of the season-- those last few minutes make the show not just about finding a lost parent, but...

    Tuesdays are Supernatural!

    I really liked this first episdoe. Sufficiently creepy, good intro to the characters, enough hinted at plot lines and background to run a couple of episodes... I'm definitely gonna check out the season. And I glad someone finally placed the actor of the younger brother. I knew the older one...

    Balrog from Lord of the Rings (part 1)

    I liked the link, Joshua. It's got some great details. I especially like how it pairs different incarnations of the same passage from different release times. Really showing, I think, how J.R.R. worked on his mythology -- that is, I know that as he has always seemed like less of a writer and...

    Balrog from Lord of the Rings (part 1)

    And that's what I meant by strength (should've used a different word)... As I was saying to VB, I understood his point to be that if Sauron was the greatest that he couldn't be a Balrog (b/c the greatest Balrog was named as Gothmog). Which is all he had said originally... JD points out a great...

    Balrog from Lord of the Rings (part 1)

    I *do* like the idea of making them equivalent to Dispater and such. It would give them enough power to be utterly terrifying (which you need to be able to scare off The Fellowship), but still make them approachable in combat. The best of both power "worlds". VERY well put. But it's often a...

    Balrog from Lord of the Rings (part 1)

    Okay, that was exactly what I thought. That both Sauron and the Balrogs were originally Maiar. And since there's not a whole lot of evidence that there are levels of Maia Power, that a Bolrog- and a Sauron-Maia are similar... Hmmmm. But I know the passage you're talking about where it says that...

    Balrog from Lord of the Rings (part 1)

    This is the third time I've tried to write this... my computer keeps eating my posts :\ I'd agree to the statment if we were just having a conversation about Tolkien's works. Eru/Ea is The Tolkien God - The Creator... But the question is how to translate it to D&D. The Valar are more powerful...

    Protections for a high level wizard?

    Thanks for the suggestions on the robes as armor! And back to the real thread... Sorry, this is my first 3.5 game and my first wizard in A LONG time... and right now he's only Level 5. So, I can't add much :/

    Protections for a high level wizard?

    Not to snag the thread but does anyone have a reference on this? There are some great armor enhancements that I would love to add to a set of robes that my wizard makes! I haven't come across the ruling, but that doesn't mean much :)

    What's familiar about this?

    You wanted where the info could be found... From the SRD The part I bolded seems to indicate that the animal used cannot be modified by a template (like magebread), so you couldn't have one as a normal familiar. Also from the SRD Which seems to imply that as long as the new magebread...

    Balrog from Lord of the Rings (part 1)

    In Tolkien, the Balrog are similar in power to lesser gods. Ea (the one supreme god) created the Valar (the gods) and the Maiar (lesser gods or demigods?) The Balrogs are corrupted Maiar. Sauron IS a Balrog if that gives you any indication of their power --granted it's written that he is the...

    That was exactly what I was looking for, I just couldn't remember the link. And the section you quoted was perfect. Thanks for the assist!

    d20 and art

    Hope this is in the right spot... I'm looking for a list or a link to the specific rules on what can and cannot be used in artwork for a d20 released product. What I mean is, I believe that there are some rules on decency in the artwork (no nudity, no gore...) And I was just looking for the...
