    Star wars - which version?

    This is my reaction as well. I've given just about every one down the pipe a try and I loved the (final) WEG d6 best. The advancement is generally pretty slow, but the initial characters are actually competent -- something I thought carried over well from the movies. Even fresh off the farm...

    The Rise of Felskein [Completed]

    A friend of mine recently pointed this story hour out to me and I've spent the last few days burning through it. All I have to say is: Wow. I really enjoyed it, Iron Sky, and thought you did a great job of ramping things up from the basic, against-the-goblins origins to saving the world from...

    Community Supporter Options?

    I've been hanging around this site for quite a while and (finally) have the cash to be a community supporter. Of course, then I found out that the only way to be a supporter is to use PayPal. Has there been any consideration into other methods of supporting ENWorld? After an... incident a few...

    Interparty RP Rules?

    This might belong in a different forum, so feel free to move it, mods. I can't recall the location, but don't the 3.5e and 4e books have a few lines on using skills against other players? Mainly thinking of the social skills here... I could have sworn I've seen it before, but it might have...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #10:Resurgence (1)/(FINAL)Season 2/2010

    If she didn't kill the marine, Eli sure was quick to leave an injured man behind. No one even TRIED to send medical aid to the guy, so I just assumed he was dead. (Eli doesn't have any medical training, but any idiot can check a pulse.) I guess we'll see if they mention him next season...

    I feel my DM ego shrivelling... A stick figure from a comic-strip ties or out-performs 90% of all the villains I have ever created in all my years of gaming. Bravo! I love Tarquin!

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #10:Resurgence (1)/(FINAL)Season 2/2010

    This episode felt really uneven and wobbly to me. I liked Telford's return. The stasis-pod teaching machines are awfully convenient, but I'll give them a pass on that one. I was very surprised -- given everything else that's gone on with the chair, brainwashing, and all the other...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #9:Visitation/Season 2/2010

    Now that's just a horrible decision waiting to happen. As much as I disagree with the decision to kill off Ginn and the Doctor, have them STAY DEAD. Science fiction or not, that's THE most shocking thing that could happen. Don't bring them back in some hokey manner and kill off the character...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #9:Visitation/Season 2/2010

    I really enjoyed this episode. Mainly for the wishful thinking that we'll soon be rid of Chloe, but still... ;) Really, though, I liked the issues of faith involved. As LightPhoenix notes, I think the inclusion of the Kino lessened the impact somewhat, but it was still quite cool. I think...

    It might postpone THAT fight, but I'm more looking forward to THIS fight all of a sudden. And I *love* that Tarquin appreciates the choice of location for the fight... not to mention the WHY of his dislike for Nale. Both sons got their alignment from the parent that raised them. But Nale...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #8:Malice/Season 2/2010

    I had a really long rant typed up here, with character analysis and development strategies, but realized I was even boring MYSELF with it. :) Long story short: Killing off likeable characters to focus on a writer's pet that the audience is either on-the-fence about or flat-out doesn't like is...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #8:Malice/Season 2/2010

    To me, it really depends on whether they have to fully override the auto-pilot or not. Remember that the last time Destiny started to get low, it automatically found the right kind of star, dropped out, and refueled. If they had to turn the auto-pilot completely OFF, rather than just giving it...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #8:Malice/Season 2/2010

    So did I. Especially the fact that they FREAKED OUT when she started typing like crazy and didn't respond. What a shock! She's working on the code that controls where the ship goes... almost like the alien stuff that got put in her head wants to turn the ship around and head back to the blue...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #8:Malice/Season 2/2010

    The ship refuels off of stars. I don't think fuel is a real issue. :) The real problem is that it took Destiny millions of years to get so far out. No way can they take a casual jaunt back to the Milky Way. Well, at least they remembered that Simeon should have been under guard. RIP more...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #7:The Greater Good /Season 2/2010

    Yeah, that really ticked me off. There better be an injured/dead marine next week (or at least a mention of one off-screen) or I'm going to be really pissed off. The show has been great about showing a guard EVERY TIME you see a Lucian Alliance member -- even when Eli was 'busy' -- and then no...

    D&D 4E 4E Dislike - a hypothesis

    I'm going to jump on the bandwagon of disagreement. I go way back, my first experiences were Red Box and (other than mostly skipping 2e for RL reasons) I've played everything since. 4E isn't for me. I played in a game for most of a year, trying to give it a fair shot. I'm glad others like...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #5:Cloverdale/Season 2/2010

    I also spent a lot of time wondering where they got all the flamethrower fuel. Is the still *THAT* productive? Or did someone bring aboard a couple of crate's worth at the beginning?? It was wild seeing all the actors clean and happy looking in the hallucinations. That and noticing that Pvt...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #4:Pathogen/Season 2/2010

    This, this, and even more, this. I could not agree more. When it was over, I wanted my time back. They could have told that same story, with identical development in half the time or less. Wray now has the power to get complete strangers, with no government contracts or clearance, into the...

    Al-Qarin: Into the Desert (3-1-24)

    Hey, an update! Awesome. Did you ever find out more about why the sorcerer was attacking the village? Revenge for murdered parents, I'm guessing? Also, what was up with the swarms of birds? Or do I need to just go back and re-read the last update?

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #3:Awakenings /Season 2/2010

    Things I liked: The direction of the episode put the camera in people's faces or behind pipes ALL THE TIME, which really helped the claustrophobic feel of the Seed Ship. The alien looked ALIEN, not like a rubber-forehead actor. SG varies a lot on quality of their aliens over the years and...
